On 09/10/13, 1:45 pm, I was driving east on s. R. 73 near I-75 intersection. As I approached the intersection traveling approximately 35 mph, the light changed to yellow. I braked somewhat hard and the brake pedal went to the floor board. There was no braking control at all and I proceeded through the red signal. Approximately 500 feet after going through the intersection I managed to stop in the median. Fortunately, although traffic was heavy, no contact occurred. Immediate inspection revealed a brake line rusted through. I trailered the truck to a Chevrolet dealer who found not only "all" the brake lines were dangerously rusted, but the gas lines also were dangerously rusted. The dealer stated this was a common occurrence with Chevrolet silverado. Replacement of these items required removing the truck bed which revealed the brake rotor backing plates rusted "away. " severe frame and component rust was also found. Only repaired brake and gas lines. Cost, $1,765. 11 OH, by the way, the "service brake system" warning light came on after brake failure.
