In the past month I have had to replace brake lnes on my 2002 chevy Tahoe. The vehicle is origionally from michigan and I know things rust there, but this is rediculous! driving down the road and no warning or warning light. The pedal just goes down to the floor without any resistance and when the fluid is out then ond onlyt then does the brake light warning come on. This past time I ended up putting it in a ditch to avoid hitting another vehicle! from all the posts on the internet I see that this is a recurring problem and a definitel safety issue!!! fortunately I have taken defensive driving courses ithrough law enforcement training and had a bit more savy as to how to handle this type of situation. How about the little old lady that has no idea what to do??? now, again for the third time it hqas to go into the shop to replace faulty and corroded brake lines!!! shouldn't something be done if this is such a re-curring problem with gm and the chevy trucks?.
My daughter was driving my 2002 Tahoe on major highway at rush hour, brake light came on and when she stepped on the brake the second or third time it went right to the floor with 90% of braking ability gone. Was able to avoid collision by pulling to side of highway and slowly stopping. Brake failure caused by rusted out rear brake line and had to have all four lines replaced due to rust.
Approaching intersection attempted to stop for red light, brake pedal went to floor with very diminished braking. Fortunately it was a Saturday evening and there was no car in front of me and none comming through the interesction. Inspection showed rear brake line split afer abs due to excesive rust. Two days later and we would have been on vacation driving in the mountains. The day and time is the only reason the occupants walked away. There was no brake idiot light or message center message to indicate a problem. The brake idiot light does work when the key is turned on.
Antilock brake light comes on and want go off. Brakes works fine.
