While driving home from work my brakes failed. The brake lines are rusted and pitted. An obvious design error, a component that can fail in an instant rendering the vehicle unstoppable should be made of stainless steel. Cheap and lightweight may be ok for a fender it makes no sense for a brake line.

My 1998 chevy silverado pickup truck had a brake line failure due to the brake line rusting out because the design has the brake line laying on top of a steel guard under the front of the truck where snow gathers rather easily and it is almost impossible to inspect the line there. I rear ended another vehicle on a highway due to the line rupturing without any prior notice of leaking when I applied the brakes. I had my truck towed to a repair shop and they replaced the line. They discovered where the rupture was and said it is a poor design of gm to place a line where it can rust out so easily without being detected.

While driving my brake pedal went to the floor board and I had no brakes. The failure was a rusted brake line that ruptured. I queried the service manager at my local chevy dealer and him,along with 3 service tech's standing around said it is a known problem and all the brake lines fail after 4 to 6 years due to rust. I asked if there was a recall and found out one does not exist. At present my truck is at the dealers getting repaired. I was able to stop the vehicle by down shifting and applying the ebrake and no accident occurred. When I inspected the lines all the lines were rusted from beginning to end as well as the connector that adjusts the ebrake tension. I think something should be published warning of this failure.
