Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problems of the 2000 Chevrolet K2500

The brake pedal went to the floor, due to a hole in the brake line caused by external corrosion. Luckily it was not at a stop street, or there would have been an accident. It occured on the highway, so my wife was able to slowly drive home. I had to have all of the steel lines replaced for the vehicle to be safely driven again.

The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet K2500. The contact stated that while at a complete stop with the brakes depressed, the brakes failed without warning. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop where the contact was advised that the brake lines were corroded. The brake lines were replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to take vehicle to the dealer for repairs. The vehicle was not taken to dealer. The approximate failure and current mileage was 130,000.

Steel brake line ruptured while braking going down a steep hill with approximately 1,000# of cargo. This is the third such incident of a ruptured/leaking line on this truck. All lines were original equipment before failure. Brake pads/discs were replaced and rotors machined between the first and second brake line failure. The emergency brake was used to successfully stop the vehicle.
