Recent owner complaints

Service brakesFire
The brake switch nearly burned the truck to the ground could smell the electrical burning, and the brake pressure failed due to a brake line failure Chevrolet says, the switch was covered in recall. But the say the brake lines arent covered. These same brake lines were recalled on Chevrolet commercial van chassis. This could have resulted in serious injury or death if it hadn't have failed at very low speeds. This is urgent an needs to be addressed. This vehicle has been in arkansas, not up north with salt on the roads. The brake lines shouldn't fail on a truck that's less than 4 years old.
