| I left my residence to run an errrand and a deer ran out in front of my vehicle. i hit the brake pedal hard to avoid hitting the deer and a brake line ruptured. i was able to slow down and eventually stop and carefully returned home with the brakes barely working. upon inspection, the brake lines, which are clustered together under the drivers side are completed corroded. i can't even tell which one ruptured due to all of the corrosion. i have owned this vehicle since new and take good care of it. the brake lines look like they are 30 years older than the rest of my vehicle. i own some older vehicles, including a 1961 truck and a 1953 car that have original brake lines and look to be in much better condition than on my 2000 suburban. this is the vehicle that i drive when transporting my family and i am very upset regarding the quality and design of these important components. we purchased this vehicle new in april 2001. *tr | |||

| I understand nhtsa is looking into reports of corroded brake lines on year 2000 chevrolet trucks. i just experienced this issue. this weekend i was pulling my boat out of the water, i pressed hard on the brake to release the parking brake and the pedal went all the way to the floor. i was able to power up the ramp without difficulty but when attempting to stop there was practically no brake pressure at all. there were no warning lights. when the truck was safely stopped i chocked the trailer and had my wife step on the brake, and observed fluid leaking out of a failed line near the left rear axle. i had to get both the boat and the truck towed as it was obviously unsafe to drive. the truck is now at the dealer for service. at a service appointment a few weeks ago they have also warned of corrosion on the fuel line running from the tank to the fuel filter. the truck has only 45,000 miles as i mostly use it for towing. | |||
