Was backing out of the driveway and when I tried to stop the brake pedal went all the way down and I had no brakes. There was no warning whatsoever that I had a braking problem. When I looked underneath the truck I could see that the brake lines are very corroded and one is leaking. It looks like they will all need to be replaced and the truck will probably need to be towed in to have this done. It sounds like this will be a very costly fix. I bought this truck new and it has always been garaged and well taken care of.

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.

Pushed brakes and the pedal went to the floor. I had to use park brake to stop. The brake lines are rusted with large hole in them.

Brake line failure near abs module inside frame rail under drivers door; failed in owners driveway; used emergency brake to stop; inspection of brake lines indicates severe rusting of all lines in that area.

Complete loss of front brake system while driving. I noted a soft pedal while sitting at a traffic light and on the next brake apply there was little or no deceleration until the pedal was near the floor. The rear wheels locked up momentarily while slowing the vehicle at the extent of pedal travel. After stopping the vehicle, I noted a steady stream of brake fluid coming from the line when the brake was applied. The brake line running to the abs unit under the driver side door had a large leak in an area of heavy corrosion. Upon further inspection I found that most of the brake lines had heavy corrosion on the vehicle although no other leaks were noted.

2000 Chevrolet 2500 pick up truck - third occurrence of significantly reduced braking ability due to corrosion of brake lines. Prior occurrences of brake line corrosion leading to significantly reduced braking ability occurred in oct 2007 and Aug, 2009 (same problem - different brake line sections).
