Tl-the contact 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that when he approached a traffic light and brake pedal was depressed it failed to respond. The contact stated the emergency brakes was used to stop the vehicle and when stepped out of the vehicle he noticed a leakage of brake fluid and corroded brake lines. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 48,707. Lb.

Brake lines had corroded and a pin hole leak allowed brake fluid to leak out of the system when the brakes were applied. Braking ability was greatly reduced. I was towing a boat at the time, making the failure even more dangerous. Inspection subsequently showed that all four lines which run forward from the abs module to the master cylinder had several areas of severe corrosion. All the lines needed to be replaced. The use of carbon steel brake lines was a poor design decision. Gm has subsequently in 2008 upgraded the materials of construction, but owners of older vehicles are at risk, and subject to an expensive repair bill.

While my family and I were towing our camper to start our vacation, we were traveling on the highway. Traffic had started to stop so I stepped on the brakes and the pedal went all the way to the floor. Thanks to quick thinking I put on the trailer brakes to get us to stop in time! after pulling over to find the problem I noticed the brake line was blown out due to corrosion and was leaking brake fluid all over the engine.

The day after I bought this truck, while starting to back out of a parking space at my mechanic's shop, my foot went to the floor. I stopped, got out and found a large puddle of brake fluid on the ground. They took the vehicle into the shop and found all of the brake lines were badly rusted and 1 had completely failed. During the replacement process they also found the fuel line was rusted so I had it replaced as well. Shortly after that, the service airbag warning started coming on when driving the truck. Transport canada has a recall for this specific problem as follows from their web site: transport canada recall # 2014510 recall date2014/11/07 notification typesafety tc systemairbag manufacturer recall number19270b categorylight truck & van recall details on certain vehicles, the sensing and diagnostic module (sdm) may corrode due to a significant quantity of snow and/or water containing road salt or other contaminants entering the vehicle and saturating the acoustical padding beneath the floor carpet. If sufficient moisture collects and is retained in the padding, it may cause excessive corrosion under the module; compromising the module seal and allowing water intrusion and system malfunction. This may result in illumination of the airbag readiness light along with a "service airbag" message on the driver information center and, in certain instances, may cause inadvertent deployment of the seatbelt pretensioner and/or airbags. Inadvertent airbag and/or pretensioner deployment could result in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will remove the acoustical pad above the sdm, inspect, and if necessary, replace the sdm.
