I WAS DRIVING TO PICK MY SON UP FROM SCHOOL WHEN I LOST BRAKES. WE BARELY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT AND HAD TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US STOPPING AT THE LIGHT. I HAD JUST REDONE MY FRONT AND REAR BRAKES/ROGERS. AFTER INSPECTING THE BRAKE LINES WE NOTICED MY LINES ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND WILL NOT HOLD ANY FLUID. I LIVE IN FLORIDA. NO SNOW, NO SALT ON MY ROADS. IT DISGUSTS ME THAT GM ISN'T TAKING CARE OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE. THIS IS MY 4TH SUBURBAN AND WILL BE MY LAST. I WILL NOW BE LOOKING TOWARD THE FORD, TOYOTA, OR NISSAN SUV. GM SHOULD BE MAKING THIS RIGHT. MAYBE AFTER A FEW MORE DEATHS THEY'LL SEE HOW SERIOUS THIS IS. HOW MANY DEATHS DO THEY NEED ON THEIR HANDS TO SEE IT'S A PROBLEM? ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTS ME! *TR

WENT TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, NO BRAKES HAD TO TAKE EXTREME STEPS TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND ALL I WAS DOING WAS BACKING OUT OF A FLAT DRIVEWAY ONTO THE STREET. TOWED VEHICLE TO AUTO SHOP - BRAKE LINES BEFORE SAFETY VALVE BROKE CAUSING THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM TO FAIL. PREVIOUSLY I HAD A BRAKE LINE BURST, HOWEVER IT WAS POST THE SAFETY VALVE WHICH ALLOWED ME TO STOP SAFELY. THE LINES BUSTING BEFORE THE SAFETY VALVE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SEVERE INJURIES HAD WE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS. GM HAS AN ISSUE AND PRIOR TO THIS I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THEM SAYING IT ISN'T AN ISSUE, NOW THAT IT BROKE IN A PLACE THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY SAFETY MECHANISM I CONSIDER IT EXTREMELY POOR OF GM TO COVER THEIR FACE AND SAY THERE ISN'T AN ISSUE. *TR

HEADED OUT ON A QUICK TRIP INTO TOWN. AS I TURNED OFF OF THE STREET I LIVE ON I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND AS I WENT TO HIT THE BRAKES THEY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I COULD NOT STOP MY VEHICLE IN TIME. I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE I WAS GOING DOWNHILL AT THE TIME BUT AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, NO CARS WERE AT THE STOP SIGN AND I WAS ABLE TO GO THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND TURN LEFT ONTO AN UPHILL ROAD AND LET GRAVITY STOP MY VEHICLE. HAD THIS HAD HAPPENED ONCE I HIT THE BUSY STREET I WAS HEADED TO IT WOULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE ELSE AS WELL AS MYSELF! I HAVE READ THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED AND NO RECALL FROM CHEVROLET... THAT IS JUST A CRIME, IN MY OPINION! *TR
