One problem related to brake fluid leak has been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet K1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was traveling on I-83 north in the right lane from baltimore MD to hershey park PA. A driver attempting to merge into my lane from the market st on ramp in york PA. , at very low speed caused me to jam on the brakes. The brake pedal went to the floor. Pumping the brake pedal and pushing it all the way to the floor yielded no results. I had no braking whatsoever. Luckily the car trying to merge stayed on the shoulder or I would not have been able to avoid a collision. I coasted down a long hill - downshifting with hazard lights on, until I came upon an available shoulder to pull onto. Checked the brake fluid reservoir and it was half full. Found brake fluid leaking on the drivers side frame rail a couple feet behind the drivers side door. With plenty of level shoulder to test - I went up and back about 5 mph to see if I had any brakes at all and determined there were none. . I was towed to a repair shop and ended up paying $973 to have the 2 brake lines from the master cylinder to the abs unit, and the 2 lines from the abs unit to the front wheel replaced. I still need to have the rear lines replaced although the mechanic said they looked ok. Vehicle was purchased at jba Chevrolet glen burnie( used ) has been titled in MD until January of this year va.
