1 Brake Master Cylinder problem of the 2003 Chevrolet S10

Failure Date: 07/30/2010

Year 2003 Chevrolet s-10 pickup has a defect in the brake tubing. Very dangerous as brakes fail. For the last 3 years I have experienced brakes failing 3 times. The first 2 times the shop replaced a full tube from the master cylinder to the wheel. Now I have a new failure. . I suggest a recall to assist me and others with this very dangerous and expensive problem. The brake lines must have been manufactured with inferior material that tends to rust out in eastern areas where salt is used on the roads.

3 Brake Master Cylinder problem of the 1997 Chevrolet S10

Failure Date: 07/25/2001

The number of failures is an approximate number because the brakes have given me problems from the day after I brought the truck home until the day my husband wrecked. The approximate dollar amount of damage is yet to be determined, however both vehicles in the accident will probably be totaled. I had the truck in the dealership many times and was always told there was nothing wrong with my brakes. Once they rebuilt my master cylinder just to saisfy me, although it did not fix the problem.
