Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The master cylinder was leaking at ~34000, the cap was replaced. this didn't solve problem. the master cylinder was replaced. this seemed to solve problem. then 11,900 miles later, the master cylinder is leaking again. the dealership replaced the master cylinder a second time. i took it to two other car repair places in the last three weeks as the brakes feel like i have more travel before stopping but they declined to do any work on the brake system since the dealership had done repairs and felt it might void any warranty. please investigate to see if others are having similar difficulties with the brake system in the 1997 c1500 cheyenne pick up with 4.3l v6. thank you. *ak
