| The first complaint number 10465492; addresses the fact that my brake lines rusted out and the fluid leaked out leaving me with little brake power. . to add insult to injury after they replaced my brake lines i was told that they could not bleed them so i needed a new manifold. it cost $350 which brings the total from 813 to $1350. i'm so frustrated. mechanics said that the current recall would not have solved the problem but i should call gm and see if they would reimburse some of the cost since the problem is prevalent in many 2002 tahoes. *tr | |||
