1 Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 08/18/2014

Applied brakes & pedal suddenly started sinking to the floor. Was able to stop due to slow speed. Scared me to death & nearly hit a car. If happened on freeway it could have killed someone. Later found that a rear driver side steel brake line mounted metal on metal, hard to find behind wheel well & on frame, had rusted through. All others near it are also in equally bad condition. No moving part to wear out & there's no excuse for such cheapness on such a safety related item.

Steel brake lines from abs module to brakes corroding or rusting through.

Failure Date: 12/10/2009

On a routine oil change on my 1999 chevy Blazer, my mechanic pointed out that the brake lines were corroded, and he was concerned that I would lose the brakes while driving. He test drove the car, and the brakes gave out. He was not driving fast and told me that if I kept that car the brake lines would have to be replaced. Was there a recall? fox news told about a possible recall on April 9, 2010.

4 Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Consumer stated that the front brake lines rusted excessively. The cause has yet to be determined. Consumer have been a mechanic for 45 years and never seen rust this bad on a 5 year old car. Gm will not do anything, this truck is dangerous to drive.

6 Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 12/30/1999

One panic stop to avoid a collision. The front brakes locked up. They smoked and had a burnt odor, the dealer resurfaced the rotors, fixed a brake line. Now when stopped, the brake pedal slowly goes to the floor, though I do have braking power when moving. The dealer rechecked it and told me this is normal. An independent mechanic says not. To date, the dealer has not fixed the problems.

7 Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 01/01/1999

The problem we have with the truck since it was new is air leaks at these new slip together air connections. They are every where in the air brake system and they continually leak.

8 Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Brakes failed completely due to damage of the brake hose causing brake fluid leakage. Yh.
