My truck has excessive undercarriage rust, to the point of reduced material thickness on the frame and all frame mounted components. Have experience one fuel line failure and fear additional failures of fuel and brake lines. Also all suspension mounting points have large metal flakes coming off.

While traveling west bound on MD route 4, upper marlboro, MD, the traffic light turned to yellow as I was approaching dowerhouse road intersection. I applied my brakes to stop and the pedal suddenly dropped a few inches. I applied more pressure and the brake suddenly dropped to the floor and I lost all brake pedal use. I blew my horn as I went through the intersection as the light turned red. I pumped the brakes several times and there were no brakes. I applied the emergency brake and that slowed my vehicle and eventually stopped it. Upon returning my vehicle to my residence, examination revealed that the rear metallic brake line along the left frame rail had rusted or corroded through where the plastic anti chaffing clip attached to the brake line. Further exam revealed the front brake line had also failed. The front brake line had rusted or corroded at the front center plastic clip attached to the lower crossmember. This was a simultaneous failure of both brake lines from the same braking event. Although my vehicle is a model year 2000, it has only 34,250 original miles and is seldom used in the winter time. It is primarily used to tow my boat an average of 15 miles round trip to the boat ramp. It has never been immersed.

My truck is a 98 chevy K3500. I bought it used from someone that said it was used at the smithsonian. When I first got it it needed everything replaced on the fuel system. Then last year one of my brake lines snapped and had to replace it and now today the other one snapped. Someone needs to do something about this problem before someone is killed. This is a hd truck and god forbid I was on a main road and not in my driveway. Thank you for listening. Kim ## VIN passed ## Chevrolet, 3500,1998 ##.
