BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. TRAVELING 35 MPH, I HAD TO BRAKE SUDDENLY AND THE PEDAL SUNK TO THE FLOOR. HAD MINOR RESISTANCE, THEN JUST COMPLETELY GAVE WAY. NO BRAKES! WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN INCIDENT BY VEERING INTO THE ONCOMING LANE THAT WAS LUCKILY VACANT. TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET TO SAFELY ROLL TO A STOP. TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT THE REMAINING 1.5 MILES HOME, I HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP. ADVISED THAT ALL BRAKE LINES NEED TO BE REPLACED, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC THAT HE HAS SEEN A DOZEN TIMES. THE BRAKE LINES CORRODE, AND EVENTUALLY BURST. ABSURD! TO THINK THIS COULD OF HAPPENED ON A FAMILY ROAD TRIP AT 65MPH... I WILL BUYING A VEHICLE OUTSIDE OF GMC AND THEIR UMBRELLA OF POORLY MADE VEHICLES- ASAP!
THE BRAKE LINES HAVE RUSTED AND AT LEAST 1 HAS RUPTURED LEAVING VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY BRAKES. BRAKE PETAL GOES DIRECTLY TO THE FLOOR AND NO BRAKE FLUID WAS FOUND IN THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR. I HAVE READ THAT MANY OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

I FOUND OUT THAT THE REAR BRAKE LINE ABOVE THE FUEL TANK ROTTED AWAY. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE BOTH STEEL LINES TO THE REAR WHEELS AND THE TWO STEEL LINE TO THE FR…

THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATES MOST EVERY TIME THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, ESPECIALLY IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED WHILE THE WHEELS ARE TURNED. THIS CAUSES EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 287 NORTH, IN MORRISTOWN, NJ WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SHORT AND I NEEDED TO APPLY MY BRAKES. WHEN I USED MY BRAKE PEDAL, THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND I COULD NOT STOP. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, AND I SWERVED TO AVOID OTHER CARS. I ROLLED TO A STOP ON THE GRASS SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND FOUND A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE CAR. AFTER INSPECTION OF THE BRAKES DONE BY A CERTIFIED GM MECHANIC, HE FOUND THAT ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES IN THE CAR BURST OPEN DUE TO HEAVY CORROSION LEADING TO THE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM. HIS RECOMMENDATION WAS TO REPLACE ALL BRAKE LINES IN THE VEHICLE AS NONE OF THEM WERE ABLE TO BE SALVAGED. *TR
MY BRAKE LINE RUPTURED ON ROUTE 287 IN NEW JERSEY WHEN I NEEDED TO BRAKE BEHIND A STOPPING VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY FOOT WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO STOPPING POWER. GM INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED IT HAD MULTIPLE FLAWS IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. *TR
