My girlfriend was driving my truck on the above date, when one of the rear brake lines failed, causing loss of brake fluid and nearly resulting in a rear-end collision with a vehicle stopped in front of her. Also, about three years ago, i had another brake line fail while i was driving. I replaced it, thinking it was normal, however i have now discovered that there are many other gm owners having the same problem. Additionally, earlier this year, i had to replace the fuel pump, which is in the tank. When i removed the tank, the fuel lines where severely corroded and broke, necessitating my having to have custom lines made. I believe these issues are serious health and safety concerns, and general motors is doing nothing to alleviate these potentially fatal flaws in their product. I believe the nhtsa should force gm to issue a recall and have these issued corrected. How people need to be injured or killed before they fix these problems? *tr

Date is approximate. While backing up the truck at the storage facility the brake pedal began to go all the way to the floor and braking was poor. I was only going very slow, so stopping was not a problem. After parking, i got out of the vehicle and noticed that there was brake fluid on the ground below the truck bed a couple of feet ahead of the left rear wheel. A few presses of the brake pedal revealed a stream of fluid coming out of the steel line that leads from the front of the truck to the rear wheels. The repair shop said that the line was corroded through and they ran a new line. This line was spliced into the original near the front of the vehicle and routed to the back of the truck closely following the run of the original line. There have been no other failures to date. *tr

The road was wet. The abs was activated (i could feel the pulsing) and i did keep my foot fully pressed on the pedal. I had steering control (i drove into a ditch rather than rear-ending another vehicle). I have been driving many vehicles for 33 years in all types of weather conditions and had never before experienced such a loss of braking ability.
