  WAS DRIVING WHEN A VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE SLOWED HOWEVER DID NOT STOP. AFTER THIS THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT FEEL RIGHT. UPON INSPECTING THE BRAKES MYSELF I DETERMINED THAT A BRAKE LINE FAILED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS AND THAT ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE LINES ARE STEEL AND RUST. THE BILL WOULD BE APPROX. $1,000.00 TO REPAIR!!! IT'S A NICE TRUCK HOWEVER I MAY NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND GM NOT STANDING BEHIND IT AND RECALLING THESE TO HAVE THE LINES REPLACED WITH…

  WHILE DRIVING ALONG ROADWAY AND APPROACHING INTERSECTION I APPLIED THE BRAKES NORMALLY TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP MY TRUCK. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK DID STOP AND I SAW FLUID UNDER THE TRUCK. I DROVE CAREFULLY TO THE SERVICE STATION AND HAD THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTED. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY RUSTED AND WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED AT THE COST OF $2,300.00 TO ME. *TR

THEN WHEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH I GOT A SEVERE SHUTTER IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE LEFT WHEEL WAS SHAKING LIKE CRAZY. I HIT THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR.
