1 Paint problem of the 2002 Chevrolet 1500

Failure Date: 07/29/2012

I was driving when I went to stop and the pedal was soft. The truck still stopped but the pedal didn't feel right. I was able to get to my in-laws house,about 2 miles. When I got out I saw brake fluid leaking from the brake lines running along the frame on the drivers side. They are the lines that go to the abs module. When I inspected further, all 4 lines were either leaking or about to. That is when I noticed both rocker panels, just under the doors, were rusted and the passenger side rusted through. The doors are not rusted and there is very little rust on the truck even where the paint has flaked off.

2 Paint problem of the 2003 Chevrolet 1500

Failure Date: 06/30/2011

The paint is peeling off in big spots. The truck is always clean and waxed. The paint is not sticking to the primer. Have heard of other gm truck owners saying the same thing. Just wanted to know if there are other people having the same trouble. Love my truck but it looks ragged out.
