I UNDERSTAND NHTSA IS LOOKING INTO REPORTS OF CORRODED BRAKE LINES ON YEAR 2000 CHEVROLET TRUCKS. I JUST EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. THIS WEEKEND I WAS PULLING MY BOAT OUT OF THE WATER, I PRESSED HARD ON THE BRAKE TO RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO POWER UP THE RAMP WITHOUT DIFFICULTY BUT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THERE WAS PRACTICALLY NO BRAKE PRESSURE AT ALL. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS SAFELY STOPPED I CHOCKED THE TRAILER AND HAD MY WIFE STEP ON THE BRAKE, AND OBSERVED FLUID LEAKING OUT OF A FAILED LINE NEAR THE LEFT REAR AXLE. I HAD TO GET BOTH THE BOAT AND THE TRUCK TOWED AS IT WAS OBVIOUSLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE TRUCK IS NOW AT THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. AT A SERVICE APPOINTMENT A FEW WEEKS AGO THEY HAVE ALSO WARNED OF CORROSION ON THE FUEL LINE RUNNING FROM THE TANK TO THE FUEL FILTER. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 45,000 MILES AS I MOSTLY USE IT FOR TOWING. *TR
