| Brake lines, transmission lines and engine coolant lines all failing on 2003 gmc 2500 hd sierra as well as on 2004 chevy silverado hd 3500. these problems have caused numerous amounts of time to repair and replace, and today there was a catastrophic brake failure on the 2003 hd gmc which almost resulted in a deadly accident. these lines should not have rusted they way they are especially on two (2) different vehicles from the same manufacturer. these vehicles were produced with inadequate parts for all lines on the underside of vehicle. there should not be 1,000 plus complaints from consumers regarding the rusting of these components, of which have caused several major and life safety issues. the brake lines are an integral part of any vehicle and to have them rust thru to the degree of all the complaints there is obviously an issue with the compenent the manufacturer installed on these vehicles. between our 2003 and 2004 gmc and chevy trucks repectively, we have replaced all of the tranmission coolant lines in both vehicles, oil engine line in 1 vehicle, ready to change in other vehicle due to rust, and now brake lines in the 2003 and will need to replace in 2004 due to rust as well. the entire underside compenents are completely rusted through. in addition, the straps that holdthe fuel tank are also needing to be replaced due to rust. | |||
