Sudden brake failure on 2001 chevy 2500 pickup truck with 70k miles - had dealer replace rusted lines over fuel tank two months ago, checked all brake systems and did not find any problems. Have driven vehicle about 250 miles since repaired. Today the brake pedal went all the way to the floor when stopping at a 4-way stop downtown. Almost collided with another vehicle but was able to avoid the vehicle and pedestrians on side walk. Checked brake fluid level and it is normal level. Will have vehicle towed back to dealer for repairs. No obvious leaks or damage to brake systems.
