Total brake failure, fortunately at slow speed where parking brake could be used to stop. It was immediately after exiting a high-speed interstate, however, where the failure could well have resulted in a serious crash. The vehicle, a 2000 Chevrolet 3/4 ton silverado hd truck, was taken to a nearby Chevrolet dealer, where it was determined that rust had caused two leaks in the brake lines, causing immediate failure of all four wheel brakes.
