Four problems related to brake hoses, lines/piping, and fittings have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet C1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
1999 chevy silverado p/u had rusty brake lines causing total brake failure. Spent over $5000 at dealer to correct problem. All hydraulic lines had to be replaced. Gm refused to reimburse me for any of the repairs or repair brakes to my satisfaction.
My brakes went out while driving my 1999 gm pickup. I was lucky to stop without an injury. I had to replace all my brake lines. This was a cost of $2,073. 00 dollars. I am a disabled veteran on a fixed income. I do plan to send a letter to gm about this issue.
After changing all four brake rotors and brake pads because they were badly rusted, my brakes failed soon after leaving home . A pin hole leak developed in the brake line because of rust. The leak was in a place that was not accessible by me. I had to have the vehicle towed to a dealer for repairs. They found four badly rusted brake lines and replaced all four at a cost of $953. 16. The towing charges were covered by my allstate auto club. I forget to request the old parts. I was fortunate the failure occurred shortly after leaving home and did not cause an accident like the failure of the rusted brake line in my 1988 chevy truck caused. I rear ended a car in that incident.
Brake line on both front wheel is located 1/2 inch away from wheel , driver and passenger wheels cut into the brake line, causing loss of brakes.
