I was driving to alabama from florida. When I was about three hours out I was going down the road hauling a lot of personal items since I was in the middle of moving. It started storming real bad so I slowed down to 60 mph and as I was approaching another vehicle they all the sudden slammed on their brakes. I saw them as soon as they did it then I slammed on my brakes and the pedal went straight to the floor. I almost hit them but I turned sharp and went into the woods. I didn't hit anything but small trees so very little damage to outside of truck. Damage is still their because since the wreck I have not been able to work cause I destroyed my back and neck. After that I still had to drive the truck the rest of the three hour trip that ended up taking nine hours of extreme pain and shot nerves. Once I finally got home it took forever and a lot of money to half way fix the truck. Since you can't get replacement lines and had to have them custom made. Truck is still crap because now every single part of the brake system is shot along with the body and undercarriage. It is solid rust now and keeps braking down and will cost around three to five thousand at the cheapest to fix. If I would have known what I do now then I would have sued chevy and this worthless organization cause yall have known about this problem for a long time and did nothing. I think yall and chevy owe me and thousands of other people a lot of money. If you still do nothing I will go to every news organization or any other company or lawyer that will go after your company. You are here to protect people from things like this but all you have done is hope we all die. I will spend the rest of my life trying to shut you down and make every person that works for this crap organization responsible for every person that gets hurt or dies. Just do your job that's all I want.
