I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT CLEAR TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING AND I WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK HOME, MY MECHANIC CAME AND LOOKED IT OVER AND FOUND THE REAR BRAKE LINE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETED ROTTED OUT AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. HE TOLD ME THAT THE OTHER LINES ARE LOOKING BAD ALSO AND THAT THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED. *TR

I NOTICED THAT AS I DRIVE MY 2001 CHEVY 2500HD WITH 6.0 V8, THAT THE FUEL GAUGE GOES FROM SAYING I HAVE FUEL, TO DROPPING DOWN TO NO FUEL AND THEN BACK AGAIN. THE GAUGE DOES THIS SPORADICALLY FOR NO REASON. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT MY TRUCK, AND HAS CAUSED MY WIFE AND KIDS AS WELL AS MYSELF TO BE STRANDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE PLACED IN HARMS WAY, WHEN SHE RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY, DUE TO THE FAILURE. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL, AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD AN OVERWHELMING COMPLAIN ON THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT, BUT THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED. I AM A POLICE OFFICER, AND BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY…
