I was driving home from errand running and found the brake pedal going almost to the floor. Found a puddle of brake fluid under the truck near the back of the cab and bed of truck. Called my service person and he said it was probably a ruptured brake line, and from the description of where the puddle was it was probably above the gas tank where the line is secured to the frame. He also stated that he has repaired multiple chevy trucks with the same problem. I have seen the underside of my truck and all the lines are rusted, including fuel and transmission cooling lines.

I live in connecticut and I have a 2000 chevy Silverado k1500 ext cab 5. 3l truck with 198000+ miles on it. The truck has been garaged just about its whole life since I bought it brand new. Last week my wife was driving the truck to the store. While coming to a stop sign just down the street the brakes failed. Fortunately she was coming to a stop and wasn't going fast with no one in front of her. She walked back to the house and I went down to find that a brake line had busted behind the drivers wheel on the frame rail before it goes over the frame to the abs module. I had the truck towed back to my house and put in the garage to inspect it. I am amazed on how much that all of the brake lines are rusted. Some areas of the line when I touched it just fell apart in my hands. I have been hearing that just about everyone I know who owns 1999-2003 chevy trucks are having brake line failing due to cheap steel rusted lines. While I was under the truck I also noticed that one of the cross members that support the right rear shock plus the gas tank is supported off of is rusted with only half a tube left. Plus just about all of my gas lines have serious rust on them. My other issue is that the rocker panels on both sides of the cab are rusted threw to a point that you can stick your hand in them. When is chevy going to get off their butt and do something about this. The brake lines, fuel lines & cross member corrosion are safety issues that should be dealt with before people get hurt or worst killed.

I was notified by a gm service center that the brake lines were very rusty and needed replacing. . While replacing the brake lines, I was told that the fuel lines were leaking, needing replacement and also the fuel sender unit needed replacing due to corrosion. This was a very costly repair and should not happen on a low mileage vehicle. I was told that this is a big problem on many gm trucks. I think I should be reimbursed for these repairs.

I was traveling on a side road after leaving my home and as I approached the stop sign at the intersection of a main road I applied the brakes and the peddle went all the way to the floor. I actually went right through the stop sign and almost hit another car traveling on the main road. On inspection of the vehicle I found that the brake lines that travel from under the hood along the frame to the anti-lock module are all severely rusted and one had a hole in it. This is a dangerous situation and gm need to do something about it. I am very upset about this because there were little kids in the car I almost hit and I would hate to think of what could have happened. I also noticed that the fuel lines in the same area are also very rotted. This doesn't usually happen unless the vehicle is much older.

Rusted steel brake line burst leaking brake fluid and loss of brakes. Fortunately(?) this occurred when vehicle was parked as brake was applied to shift transmission out of "park" . It could have resulted in a major collision. Upon inspection, all of the steel brake lines are badly corroded, and need to be replaced to safely operate the vehicle. 3 years ago, I had to replace corroded rotors due to corrosion as well. From what I have learned, this is an epidemic for gm trucks of this era. Is gm liable for these costly repairs?.

Chevrolet Silverado was taken to dealer in March 2006 for 100k service. Dealer stated the fuel line is so badly rusted that he could not replace the fuel filter for fear of rupturing the gas line. When I suggested replacing the entire fuel line the estimate was 999. 90 due to extensive labor cost.

I have owned this truck since Dec 2001 the fuel gauge has worked on and off since then it will work fine then when I fill the tank it will read no fuel and the low fuel warning light will come on until it gets down to about 3/4 tank the it will start working again. If I am sitting idling the gage will go to zero then will slowly creap back up when vehicle is moving. Also have problem with gas pedal sticking. I have to remove air cleaner hose and lube throttle body butterfly to un stick it about once a month.

I was driving at around 35 mph when I tried to brake and the brakes did not work. I tried the emergency brake and that wouldn't work either. I rolled to a stop and called a towing company. When I got out of the vehical there was break fluid leaking on the drivers side of the car. The vehical was towed to the dealership where I was informed that the brake line had bust. I was also told that the feul line was about to bust. The entire break and fuel lines were corroded and had to be replaced. It took the dealership 2 week to repair. The cost was over $2000.

Consumer states: the fuel return lines and fuel rails when they come apart the diesel and oil mix together and shoots out and coats the rear windshield.
