general problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe

I was at a traffic light, waiting for it to change, and all of a sudden the brake went all the way down and all kinds of lights in the truck were flashing indicating trouble. I managed to pull to the curve, put it on park, and noticed that there was fuel coming down from underneath the truck. I called aaa, since I am a member, and they towed the truck to my local mechanic. The mechanic inspected the truck and noticed that both the brake lines and the fuel lines were corroded. I happened to read online about other chevy owners that were having issues with brake and fuel line corrosion on the same model and year chevy Tahoe I own.

Tl- the contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that he continuously heard a ticking noise whenever the vehicle was started. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnose that the exhaust manifold bolts broke off. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 196,000. Pmb.

No accident yet. Smelled gas so I looked under 2003 Tahoe for leaks and noticed filler neck plus fuel lines along with brake lines with extreme rust. I understand rust forms on all metals. But this is something you should find on twenty year or older vehicles. I am a licensed Apr. And run a quality shop and have work on vehicles for a living for over thirty years and only see this on substandard or low grade materials. So why do these lines have this problem? this is a safety issue that really should be addressed. I've seen other manufacturers recall much less problems why not this. If you price out these pieces for replacement you or your costumer better be sitting down. Parts are normally in stock. We all know they only stock what's sells regularly. Please again this is safety problem chevy should own up to.
