| Brake line failure on 2002 chevy s-10 crew cab. one brake line began leaking. dealer suggested replacing two lines. when repair was being completed a third brake line began to leak. the parts are not readily available from gm and the dealer said it could take months to get.waiting to see if a local shop can manufacture the third line. i was told that the lines corroded due to brine used on roads during winter. i saw an article stating that the nhtsa is investigating other gm trucks between 1999 and 2003 for this very same problem but the s-10 is not listed as having an issue. i was fortunate that i caught it early by seeing a puddle of fluid under my truck. the brake light did not come on. i do not feel very confident about the remaining lines that have not been replaced. | |||
