Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problems of the 2002 Chevrolet 2500

Steel brake lines to abs control and other steel brake lines rusted through and leaking, must be replaced before brakes fail.

Rusted out brake line to rear brakes along frame rail on my 2002 silverado 4 x 4. Thank god no one was injured. This truck I purchased brand new and has never seen any winter weather until 2013. I was involved in a unrelated accident in Jan. 2013 and the truck sat at a body shop until the end of may 2013. This year I had to use my truck. Should a brake line have rusted thru prematurely? I don't think so. I think gm should be accountable for this failure and reimburse all people affected by this substandard part failure.

After dropping off a boat for winter storage, I was leaving the storage location and attempted to apply brakes and the pedal dropped to the floor. I had to take a very slow route home as the brake pedal continued to drop to the floor anytime the brakes were applied. In a couple of instances when the brake pedal was pressed hard, the abs system did activate. Finally had a chance to pull this vehicle into my garage for examination on 11/8/13 and found the brake lines under the drivers' floorboard at the frame-rail extremely corroded to the point of failure of one of the five lines. The others are most certainly not far behind. This vehicle is mainly used in the winter months. I am grateful that the problem surfaced now before the snowmobile season when I am hauling a 24 foot trailer with four passengers and four snowmobiles on roads that are not in the best shape to begin with. This could have been a very bad situation to say the least! gm needs to fix this issue before someone is seriously injured or worse - these obviously are not isolated incidents. *** please note that there has yet to be a single warning lamp to come on after applying the brakes at least twenty five times - no mil, no brake, nothing! *** I will be taking a complete series of pictures of the condition of these lines before the repairs are performed if they are needed for this complaint.

The truck is primiarly used for towing trailers. Once in 2012 when towing a 10k lbs travel trailer a rear brake line that appeared solid developed a hole and released any hydrolic pressure. The truck was safly stopped and repaired. August of 2013 while towing pwcs on a trailer another line that appeared to be solid brake line developed a hole and leaked out the break fluid. Truck was safly stopped and is awaiting repairs. The truck appears to have an abnormal amount of rust on the brake lines brake compnents frame and suspension componets for the age of truck. Front and rear brakes were replaced 3 times due to rust also. Body of the truck has no rust or damage to it.

The brake lines on my 2002 chevy 2500 hd completely blew out causing me to go through a red light ending up in the middle of the intersection.

A brake line rusted through in the front of the truck. After looking under the truck, I found that all the brake lines are severely rusted and look as if they will fail at any time. All brake lines will have to be replaced before this vehicle is safe to drive again. After checking on the web I have found thousands of other complaints and still there is no gm recall.

Truckonly has 66k and brake lines rusted through. Seems to be a problem on this year and model with no recall as of yet. Extremely costly to repair! would like to see a study done of others with this problem.

Metal brake line corroded through and I lost brake pressure. An accident did not occur, most likely due to the truck being unloaded. The week before the incident, I was hauling large loads of hay.
