Brake Master Cylinder problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Stepped on the brake pedal to put the truck in gear and the pedal went to the floor. It blew out the brake line running from the abs block to the rear. I replaced that one and when checking for leaks, a line running from the master cylinder then blew out. I decided to replace them all at that point. The ac delco kit for my truck was back ordered and it took over two months for it to come. Now I am concerned about my fuel lines. Chevy, gm, please help! these are major safety issues! recalls!?!?!?.

I just purchased my truck in June from a previous owner in south florida. As far as I know, the truck has been in florida since it was purchased new. On Friday, November 8, 2013, I was forced to brake heavily at an intersection. I felt the anti-lock brakes activate and the truck stopped. I proceeded to the next intersection and was traveling approximately 50mph. When I stepped on the brake pedal, the pedal went to the floor. I immediately down shifted in an attempt to slow down. Luckily, there were no vehicles in the right turn lane so I made a very dangerous right turn nearly striking vehicles in another lane. I attempted to brake again and only the passenger side rear tire would lock up. I was able to stop the truck with the emergency brake and distance. I thought the master cylinder went out but upon further inspection. A brake line has split and is expelling brake fluid. The location of the hole is where the brake line passes directly below the driver's door before the connection to the anti lock brake system. How is this not a recall. I could have killed myself or someone else. I have never seen a brake system failed where there is no brakes at all.

My wife used my 2500 hd 4wd pickup to go to work during inclement weather. She called me while driving and thought the road was icy because she thought she slid through two busy intersections. I asked her how fast she was driving and she said not real fast but the truck did not stop. I told her to take it easy and approach intersections slowly. She made it to work and home later that night (2nd shift) safely. The next morning I drove the truck to work and propmptly drove right through a busy intersection near home with the brake pedal on the floor. Wife did not notice pedal since she is only 5'1" and didn't have pedal to floor. Luckily there was no traffic early in the morning or results could have been catastrophic. Got truck home and did a thorough check of brake system. Line from front of master cylinder to abs module on frame rail was rusted through. Other lines also looked like they were dug up from davey jones locker at the bottom of the ocean. I've owned this truck from new and have taken great care of it. My 1968 chevelle has better loking original brake line on it. Don't know what is going on but this is a serious problem, and not just brake lines from what I have read. Gm needs to address this through a recall before someone gets killed, if it didn't happen already. I did call dealer I bought truck from and they acknowledged knowing there is a problem, but offered no assistance other than free quote to repair (with oem steel lines). I bought an aftermarket set of ss lines for the entire truck and have installed both master cylinder lines so far. Waiting for warm weather for the rest. . . . Hope another doesn't fail in the meantime !.

Brakes failed ,pedal went to floor; main line from master cylinder sprung a leak,noticed all lines near drivers side inner fender rusty , had wife pump brakes; brake fluid sprayed. I replaced main lines to distribution block and one front line. Called dealer he said they new of this problem and told me to check rear line going over gas tank. I will replace it soon . Any of these trucks still on the road need to be repaired . I've driven this truck since it was new.

Driving down highway, applied brakes to feel the pedal go to floor. Able to stop and inspect after some distance. Rear steel brake line under truck bed had corroded through, and with a push of the pedal, brake fluid sprayed everywhere. Had to have line replaced from diverter box under cab to rear crossover at driver rear wheel, badly corroded! now it is March of 2012 (107,000 miles), and the front lines from the master cylinder to diverter are leaking as well. Thankfully I noticed before driving. I am having the bad line replaced, and I am looking for a stainless steel replacement for all lines!.

Tl-the contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 hd. While driving approximately 25 mph, the brake pedal was applied which extended to the floor without any response. The vehicle failed to slow down and in order to stop the trailer brakes were engaged. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the abs module's main brake line was replaced. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for the second time; however the main brake line connected to the master cylinder was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 71,662. Js.

While driving my 2002 chevy Silverado 2500hd truck and attempting to stop, the brake pedal went to the floor. Inspection revealed the brake line from the master cylinder to the proportioning valve under the cab of the truck had burst due to a very rusty brake line. Inspection revealed that all the brake lines are very rusty and need to be replaced.

After traveling on the highway for sixty miles, the truck was baked for traffic at highway exit. The bake pedal went down almost to the floor. The truck did slow down, but braking was not normal. Upon inspection it was found that the brake lines coming the master cylinder to the abs and from the abs to the front brakes were rusted and one line had a hole and was leaking. Four brake lines were replaced.

2002 Chevrolet 2500hd pickup truck. While my daughter was driving the truck, both steel brake lines from the master cylinder failed causing total loss of brakes. Truck was towed to dunlap-johnson Chevrolet CO. ,inc. 919 e liberty st , york, SC 29745-2689 (803) 792-4152. Chevrolet was called at 1-800-222-1020 and case # 71-742-720900 was opened. I was contacted on July 21 by caroline lucero from Chevrolet who stated that the brake lines failed because of environmental conditions in the ne united states. Having brake lines that can fail without warning causing the brake pedal to go to the floorboard while providing no stopping effort is a very dangerous situation. Thankfully no one was injured in this instance; however I suspect that the brake line failure is premature based on the age and mileage of the vehicle and possibly caused by defective materials. I am saving the brake lines in case they are wanted for testing or inspection.

Brake lines from the master cylinder to the abs control unit and from the abs control unit to the front wheel brakes are rusted through. This occurred on June 9, 2008. The vehicle is only six years old and the brake line should not rust through that quickly. This is a dangerous condition as all of the brake fluid is pumped out of the master cylinder and you then lose all braking on the vehicle.
