Brake Disc Caliper problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

My son borrowed my truck to get a tool box that his wife got him for father's day. I told him to bring the truck back to my house because I wanted to hook a trailer up so he could take a riding mower to his house and use while we were out of town. When he came back I had him back the truck up to the trailer and we hooked it up. When he got on it he pushed the brake to put the transmission in drive, the brake pedal went to the floor. We unhooked the truck and he drove it across the yard to my garage. After looking for and not finding any leaks I checked the fluid reservoir and could not feel any fluid. We went to auto zone and got a bottle of brake fluid dot3 and filled the reservoir up and he looked for a leak while I pushed the brake pedal. He found it leaking from a line above the fuel tank right behind the passenger door on the driver's side. I had the truck towed to a Chevrolet dealership and was told the brake lines was rusted and they need replaced along with the two front calipers. Just thankful the line did not bust while he and his wife were not on the interstate nor after we got the trailer hooked up and went to his house which has some very steep hills. Ten working days and $1800. 00 later I have my truck back.

In February, 2005 I purchased a 2005 chevy Silverado 2500 hd fwd pickup. From day 1 I had brake fading with the vehicle. I complained to the dealer when ever I brought it in for service to no avail. In July 2008, with 18,359 miles on it I was told "the rear rotors were rusted to the point it was affecting braking power" and had to be replaced. The front rotors were also rusted and had to be replaced in June 2009, with 25,001 miles on it, I again had brake problems and 3 bleeders were rusted and ruined and had to be replaced along with one caliper. At the same time the rear brake pads had to be replaced and the rotors resurfaced.
