| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: As i was backing up in my driveway, the brakes went out on my 1995 chevy s-10 pick-up, 5 speed, 4-wheel drive. the metal brake line leading to the rear brakes had rusted through and was leaking fluid under the drivers door. should these lines, which appear to be stainless steel, rust out? the vehicle has about 85,000 miles. a few months ago the hydraulic clutch line rusted through as well and i lost the ability to shift while i was driving in traffic. i have inspected the remaining brake lines and anywhere there is a connector fitting, there's a lot of rust. i'm planning to replace all the lines just to be safe. i still have the original brake line. i didn't know if i should contact chevrolet, but i figured i'd let you know in case something can be done about it. *jb |
