Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Suburban

I had a rusted brake line (driver side front) fail June 25th, 2017. This truck is 12 years old and has less than 90,000 miles. Immediately all braking was lost and the pedal pushed to the floor. Repeated pressing the brake only pumped out all the brake fluid. This was a sudden and catastrophic loss of braking. The worst part is, braking is supposed to be split and independent between front and rear brakes, so if you lose the front, the rear brakes still work, and vice versa. Well I lost all braking, I had no front or rear braking! this should be a clear safety problem and a mandatory recall! I crashed into the car in front of me, because of course my emergency brake didn't work either. Despite gm's insistence that somehow this premature brake line failure is normal and the owner's maintenance problem, it should be a very simple issue for the NHTSA to simply open a single brake line and test to realize the affected vehicles do in fact lose all braking, not just front or rear. I've already completely lost faith in gm to do the right thing, but I'd like to believe the NHTSA will still do the right thing, and not let gm off with a clear safety problem with their brake design. This crash was pulling up to the stoplight in prescott, WI, heading into town across the prescott bridge. I was driving maybe 30 mph when I realized I had lost all brakes.

Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while driving at 20 mph, the brake pedal was depressedwhich went to floor of the vehicle. The contact had to applied the emergency brake and veered to the should of the road whch allowed the vehicle come to a complete stop. The vehicle was towed by on-star to the dealer denooyer Chevrolet 127 wolf rd, albany, NY 12205 (518) 458-7700 were a diagnosed test was perrofmred and determined that the brake lines needed ot be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximate 111,795. Ck.

Rear brake line failed. My wife and kids were in the 2005 Suburban 1500, she managed to press the ebrake then turn the Suburban into someone's front yard where it eventually came to rest on a hill. She was headed downhill on a residential street at the time of failure. Took to hundru chev in manheim PA I was told the repair will be somewhere around $2300. 00.

While driving around town I noticed my brakes feeling mushy and the pedal needing to be pressed further into the floorboard. My "check brake system" light came on and upon inspection noticed that I was low on brake fluid. I filled the brake fluid reservoir to the max line. The next day the same warning light came on and I further inspected the brake lines to find that the lines from the abs box to the rear had rusted out and were leaking badly.

We bought our chevy Suburban in may of 2014, 73,000 miles, garage kept vehicle. The Suburban is in beautiful shape, engine compartment shows very little signs of rust or corrosion, same goes for the underside of the vehicle, very clean. This past weekend while traveling down a large hill, my wife had our two boys with her in the vehicle ages 5 and 7 when all of a sudden the brakes gave out completely, no braking power at all. If it wasn't for the emergency brake they would have been seriously hurt or worse. Upon inspection of the vehicle we found that the brake lines are completely rotted, the only part on the vehicle that looks like this. We know who owned the vehicle before us, one owner, and she did not drive this vehicle very often in winter weather. She works for a school district and has off when it snows. She also had an older car that she drove when the weather and roads were bad. These brake lines are faulty. There is no way these brake lines should look like this after 9 years on the road. My neighbor has a 2005 yukon and has the same problem. My friend steve has a 2003 GMC pickup, same problem, he almost crashed into a lake when his brake lines failed. Something needs to be done about this and fast as people are going to get killed. I have pictures I can share with anyone who wants to see them. You can also contact me at any time.

Front brake line failure/brake line rupture. 6 months ago it was the rear brake line failure/rupture. Brake fluid caused smoke and small fire on the exhaust headers.

Catastrophic brake failure, without any warning , caused by complete corrosion of entire brake line! ran car off road to avoid cars at stop. Emergency brake also failed due to corrosion.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Suburban 1500. While driving in reverse, the contact was unable to stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal. The contact had to depress the brake pedal to the floorboard in order to stop the vehicle. The mechanic stated that the brake lines were rotted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

Brake lines have corroded and yesterday one of the lines below the driver's side door ruptured resulting in a complete loss of braking.

Brake and fuel lines are corroded. I learned yesterday from win kelly Chevrolet in clarksville, MD that my brake lines are so corroded I should replace them immediately. Also observed were rusty fuel lines. I, and many other Suburban/silverado owners apparently agree, that this is design flaw and should be resolved by a manufacture recall. This was my first gm product; all others were Dodge. I never had this issue with any of the 17 other vehicles I've owned over the past 34 years. If the corrosion is that bad I'd like to know why it wasn't noted in previous "bumper to bumper courtesy inspections".

Went to move vehicle to attach landscape trailer. Brakes went down to the floor. Upon investigation, found brake fluid on ground from driver side right front. Had vehicle towed to repair station and asked mechanic to replace brake line and check all other brake lines. Mechanic ended up replacing 80% of lines due to corrosion. This could have ended up resulting in an accident if the vehicle was moving with the trailer attached carrying atv's. In addition, the cable holding the spare tire had to be cut in order to get access to rear brake lines. The cable was rusted meaning that a tire could not be changed in the event of a flat.

The fuel line that is on top of the gas tank rotted through. The brake and transmission lines rotted and leaked. The chassis is rotting in different places I have less than 77,000 miles on it since I bought new. I have a 1969 malibu that I've had since it was new and I keep it outside in all kinds of weather and not one part of the chassis is rotted. I don't know what kind of steel they use now to build these cars and trucks, but it should be unacceptable. I don't know the exact dates these things happened, but I do have all the repair bills for them. When the brake line rotted through I was going to the store and when I came to a yield sign the brake pedal whet to the floor. It's a good thing it happened then, because I live on a mountain and we have a road called breakneck and it is a 25% grade. It was raining the day that this happened and all I had was a little bit of foot brake and the emergency brake. I surely would have had a bad accident if I made it to that hill.
