Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 3500 - part 2

S10 appropriate handling -copy of a letter to the president re the dangers of rupturing brake lines on a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. The consumer stated the vehicle needed front brake pads, rotors which were more rusted out than worn and one caliper. As the consumer was bleeding the air from the hydraulic circuit, he noticed brake fluid pouring out of three locations on the driver's side. The steel brake lines had ruptured on both hydraulic circuits due to the steel lines rusting out. The consumer replaced all of the steel lines, as some of the rust was hidden from view within plastic retainers.

Brake lines rust through with no advance warning. In my case it was at highway speeds while the truck was loaded with approx. 1000 lbs of material. Fortunately it was just the rear lines so I still had front brakes to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. When researching this event I found cases that the front and rear brakes rusted through at the same time. Due to the amount of weight these trucks can haul or tow I believe the chances of a serious accident are great enough to warrant nhsta to investigate this farther.
