Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings Problems of Chevrolet 2500 - part 2

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.

The brake lines on my 2001 Chevrolet 2500hd have completely rusted out. I was backing out of my drive way in reverse and went to step on the brake an the pedal went to the floor. I rolled to the end of my driveway, across the street and through my neighbor's fence. My emergency brake only slowed my speed in reverse and did not stop me. The brake line on the driver side rear is rusted through and broken off at the flange at the rear wheel. Inspection shows all of the brake lines are severely corroded and will need to be replaced. I am lucky this failure did not happen at a major intersection or in an emergency stop situation on the highway.

Steel brake lines rotted and ruptured causing loss of brakes. The people in front of us were in extreme danger of being injured or killed as they suddenly stopped due a traffic jam. When I attempted to stop the brake peddle went to the floor as the rotted brake line ruptured spilling the brake fluid out to the road. To prevent injury to others I drove the truck into a guardrail at a glancing blow until it stopped. At the time of the accident I was traveling with my 13 yr old daughter to visit her dying grandmother for last time. My daughter was crying hysterically and clearly distraught at the accident.

Total brake failure. Pedal just went to the floor with no warning that there was a problem with the braking system. The warning system did not come on until the truck was shut off and restarted. Inspection of the brake lines shows that they are rusted, especially at the points where the clips hold them to the frame. There appears to be leaks in multiple spots with no prior indication (spots under the vehicle) of any problem. I just had it inspected a week prior and it passed. I also own a 1998 Toyota camray with 250k + miles and have not had any problem with the brake lines rusting out.

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.

Was pulling a trailer through town luckly when my brake pedal went to the floor. The trailer brakes kept me from hitting the person in front of me. After getting stopped I found the brake lines on top of the frame had ruptured due to corrosion. I went and bought new brake line material and I am replaceing two of the four lines.
