| I have owned a 2001 chevy silverado 4x4 extended cab pickup for approximately 10 years. during my ownership i have had the brakes worked on numerous times as the calipers were sticking, i could feel a shudder when coming to a stop, or for a soft pedal. last year, i had to make an emergency stop when a vehicle pulled out in front of me. when this happened, the brake pedal went to the floor. i managed to limp the vehicle to my mechanic. i was told that upon inspection, the truck had ruptured a brake line and that to ensure safety, all brake lines should be replaced. | |||
