Brake Fluid Leak problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe

My daughter was running less than 35 mph through town went to stop at a red light, brake pedal went to the floor and both front and rear brake lines failed leading to me rear ending the car in front of me. Upon inspection both front and rear brakes were leaking fluid due to rust and corrosion. I had to have my car towed home and have been un able to drive it since.

Tl- the contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that a spongy type feel was present when pressing the brake pedal. While inspecting the vehicle the contact discovered that the brake lines had rusted and corroded and the brake fluid reservoir was empty due to brake fluid leaking from the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The mileage was 81,845. Jft.

Brakes went to floor before holding - no hydraulics. Brake line failure/rupture with heavy leak of brake fluid under driver seat area. Suspected corrosion.

In pressing the brake pedal it went all the way to the floor because, as I found out later, all of the brake fluid had leaked out due to brake line rust and corrosion. No warning at all (e. G. Soft pedal) and this vehicle doesn't have a speck of rust on it. I replaced all of the brake lines at a cost of nearly $1400. 00.

My daughter was driving along the freeway when suddenly she had to brake and the pedal went down to the floor, the truck not stopping. She got in the slow lane and had to go very slow to her destination. Thank god she's a good driver or she could've killed herself or someone else. I met her at her destination to check out my truck and found that when you stepped on the brake pedal, brake fluid poured out from under the chassis of the truck in the area of the rear driver side door. So I looked at the rest of my brake lines and they are full of rust.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving 10 mph, she applied the brakes and the pedal depressed to the floor. As a result, the contact crashed into another vehicle. The contact noticed that the brake lines were fractured and leaking brake fluid upon exiting the vehicle. The vehicle was safely driven home and parked. The vehicle was then taken to an independent repair shop, but repairs were not performed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 126,000.

Brake line ruptured and the fluid leaked out resulting in damage to vehicle.

Brakes failed to function properly. Brake pedal suddenly retracted to the floor and braking power was nearly lost. The brake fluid reservoir was almost empty. Upon investigation it was clear that fluid was leaking through a rusted steel line on the left rear of the vehicle. The line showed significant rust particularly within several inches where it connects above the rear differential. The right rear line was also very rusted in the same location but not yet leaking --- both lines where replace at owners expense. The steel line that leads up to the master cylinder is also very rusty.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated was driving 25 mph when the brakes were applied, but the vehicle would not stop. The contact had to pump the brakes for the vehicle to come to a complete stop as the brake warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. A local mechanic inspected the vehicle and found that the front brakes were rusted and leaking brake fluid. The same brake failure was repaired for the rear brakes prior to the failure. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 145,000 and the current mileage was 153,000.

On November 23, 2010 we were traveling on I-95 just outside of washington DC when we were in some heavy traffic. We needed to stop quickly & the brake pedal on our 2001 chevy Tahoe lt went to the floor. We were able to stop but when we were able to get off to get gas & check on the brakes we noticed brake fluid leaking from the rear of the Tahoe. Was able to get to a brake shop when we found out the brake lines were corroded. The shop figured something must have hit the brake line while we were driving & since they were rusting it ruptured the line. We ended up having to spend the night in fredricksburg, va & paying $1,500 to just get the rear lines fixed so we could continue our trip to myrtle beach. We still need to get the front lines changed but we don't have the money to get them fixed at this time. So the Tahoe sits in our driveway until we can afford to get it fixed.
