| This morning i noticed the brake pedal traveling down further than normal and little to no stopping power. once arriving at work i tried to pump the brake pedal and it kept going to the floor. upon looking under the truck i discovered a puddle of brake fluid. after further inspection i found one of brake lines had rusted through and blown out in front of the abs module. the general condition of all the brake lines in this area is very rusty. i will likely have to replace all the brake lines due to this. *tr | |||

| This complaint is regarding nhtsa id # 05v161000 and gm recall # 05042. the above is for a defect in the parking brake which causes premature wear. the recall only applies to manual shift transmissions. i have this same problem but have an automatic transmission. i believe this recall should also apply to my vehicle since a parking brake is also installed on my vehicle and it is also defective. if a parking brake is not needed on my vehicle for safety than why is one installed? *jb | |||
