| I was driving down local road, when there was a three car accident way ahead. i sowed right down, may 25-30 mph as we came up on it, realizing as i went to slow down more, my brake pedal went to floor. i made it home and parked. my boyfriend looked at it next morning, i had no brake fluid left, one of the lines was so corroded the fluid leaked all over the driveway. i had recently had my brakes done and inspection within the past month. i bought the truck brand new, and have had a lot of issues with it. including abs that was previously recalled, and never worked after it was replaced, which i did complain about, he interior set material needed replacing, the tail gate cables and hinges are broke, the dealer says there is no recall on them. a sensor went in gas tank, the drivers side mirror fell off, the window cable on drivers side has been replaced twice, passenger side once, the list goes on and on. like i said, i bought it brand new off the lot, traded in older chevy silverado, paid cash with gm discount. i love my truck, but think it has had way too many problems. i have definitely read a lot of complaints on the corroded gas lines among other issues and would hope chevy would stand behind their products. *tr | |||

| Thank goodness i just got off a major roadway in town. my 16 year old son was driving the vehicle. we got home and i had to run back out. i was driving at the time. pulled out of my cul-de-sac and went to apply the brakes at the stop sign and the pedal went to the floor. lucky no cars or children were in my path. all lines are rusted out. had two sections (front) with major rot that were leaking. no indicator lights or signs prior to malfunction. bought new lines from local auto parts store and have been replacing a little at a time. entire underside of truck looks like its 50 years old!!!! will see what rots out next. | |||

| I was driving 60mph when construction cones brought traffic to one lane. as i began to apply my brakes, i could feel my foot going to the floor and i was not slowing at all. i tried the emergncy brake, and also no braking occured. i managed to drive onto the medium, and luckily was able to avoid all the construction junk that littered that area. after a very long time, i was able to safely maneuver to a safe stop. when i spoke with the mechanic, he told me there were no brake lines. | |||
