| We are the second owners of a 2004 chevy silverado 1500 4wd truck. we have had brake lines go twice. the last time was at our town dump. my husband was stopped with the truck in park and when he put his foot on the brake to put the truck in gear the pedal went all the way to the floor with no real stopping power. he checked the emergency parking brake and that, too, was not functioning. it doesn't seem right that chevy has been able to use such dangerous engineering on something as important as brakes. we also have rusted transmission lines and backer plates. it is going to cost $2,000 (two thousand dollars) to fix these problems. we are requesting that a recall be made for this defective manufacturing on such a necessary function. we are lucky that we were in park and putting the truck into gear from park when the brakes failed. | |||

| 2004 chevrolet silverado 2500 hd brakes failed due to rusted steel brake line. rust of component was located under driver door. currently having trouble finding manufacturer replacement part. looks like i will have to bend my own line. the truck has 40,000 miles and located in tennessee. the truck is mainly used on a farm and has not been on salty roads to a great extent. fortunately the incident was while using the truck on the farm so there was no damage or bodily harm. i had to use the emergency brake to stop. in 2010 i had to replace the rear brakes and rotors because of rust. the rearend is also rusted on the truck - springs, carriage, rearend | |||

| 2 metal brake lines blew out on my 2004 chev 1/2 ton pu. they had been rusted nearly through and first one blew then the second diagonal in a hard stop leaving me with no brakes except the emergency. no accident or injury but it sure could have been. the lines seemed to have little or no coating to protect them from rust and certainly should have lasted longer than this. thanks ron cox | |||
