| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: First incident occurred on june 9, 2006 where the rear brake line failed while pulling boat from remote fishing lake at approximately 10:30 pm, leaving a large amount of brake fluid on the ground and on the right rear tire. no dealers are open at this hour, therefore i had to drive truck with only emergency brake. delivered truck to the dealer during business hours where the rear brake line was replaced due to failure from being corroded through. asked for inspection of all remaining brake lines and have them replaced if required as i did not want the incident to happen again - none were replaced and was informed everything was now fine. 2nd incident occurred december 6, 2006. another brake line along the left side of the frame near the transfer case failed due to severe corrosion. this happened as my wife was returning home and drove to the end of our driveway and when the brakes were applied the pedal went all the way to the floor. our house is located on a hill and the truck went off the drive and headed through the yard down the hill - luckily she placed the transmission in park without an accident or injury. i inspected all of the brakes lines and found that all are severely corroded. if they are touched in any way, large flakes of corrosion come off in you hand. i will not return this vehicle to a gm dealer for repair as i would rather complete the job myself rather than have someone lie to me and jeopardize my families or my life any further! *nm |
