BRAKES WENT OUT NO WARNING, AFTER LOOKING ON DRIVERS SIDE SEAT UNDER TRUCK WHERE FLUID WAS RUNNING OUT SAW WHERE BRAKE LINE WAS RUSTED AND IT BUSTED. SO I TOOK SEVERAL PICTURES AND CALLED GMC, THEY IN TURN TOWED MY TRUCK TO AUFFENBERG OF CARBONDALE, ILLINOIS AT NO CHARGE. AT THIS TIME I STARTED RESEARCHING THE RUSTED BRAKE PROBLEM AND FOUND WHERE ALAN ADLER (MANAGER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS) FOR GM SAID ON (ABC NEWS RUSTED BRAKE LINES) WHERE THEY WERE OFFERING A (KIT) TO HAVE THE RUSTED BRAKE LINES REPAIRED FOR A COST TO US OF $500.00. SO NOW TODAY 06/05/2014 MY TRUCK IS DONE AT A COST OF $1188.05 TO ME FOR THE DEALER KNOWS NOTHING OF THIS. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT ALAN ADLER THROUGH GM AND NO ONE KNOWS WHO HE IS, I HAVE SENT MANY COMPLAINTS AND TALKED WITH MANY PEOPLE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. MY REF.# [XXX] WITH THE COMPLAINT DEPT. SO IF THIS MAN CAN SAY ON THE NEWS THAT THEY HAVE THIS KIT AND THAT ALL THE DEALERS WERE TOLD ABOUT IT HOW CAN THEY LIE AND CHARGE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
