Brake Master Cylinder Problems of Chevrolet 2500

While helping my son move to remove furniture from flooded illinois river home the truck I have owned since new lost brakes . Upon inspection I found the brake line going from the proportionate valve to the rear drivers side brakes had rusted through and had failed. Myself and my son replaced the line and tried to bleed brakes with partial success , could not get one bleeder loose but got vehicle functioning to get it to my home to continue working on it further. Had to replace front caliper , and upon trying to further bleed brakes another line going from the front master cylinder to the rear proportionate valve was also leaking, upon further inspection I decided both lines were rusted and needed to be replaced. This vehicle only has 67000 miles and the brake lines should not fail that quickly. All brake lines on truck are rusted and general motors has a very serious safety problem. This is going to be an expensive fix if I have to replace all lines , it has already cost me a lot and I did all the work so far.

Went out to the truck, started it and brake pedal went to floor along with a warning beep indicating a problem with the brake system. No syptoms prior to this was given, which is very scary as I could have been driving when the failure occurred. Had it towed to dealership, upon inspection (word for word from invoice) "brake line from abs to unit to rear axle and one rusted thru from master cylinder to abs unit, other lines from abs unit very rusty also, replaced all rusted brake lines, free up brake bleedes and bleed brake system, road tested and rechecked okay" this kind of failure should be unacceptable, truck with this low miles and age, really? cost to fix $1,010. 64 with tow. The dealership replaced the lines with brake lines that will never corrod, why wasn't this done at factory to begin with? I regularly tow heavy equipment, granted the trailers have brakes, but this issue should be recalled immediately before someone gets hurt.

Brake line ruptured while pulling trailer resulting in an accident. Brake line that failed was between the master cylinder and the abs box.
