My wife was driving and suddenly the brake pedal went to the floorboard. The service brakes light illuminated as did the stability track and brake fault lights. Fortunately she was going slow and was able to maintain control without having a collision. Upon inspection, I found a brake line failure in the frame, due to heavy corrosion. This occurred on a city street in a 30 mph zone.
The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact was driving 25 mph and fully depressed the brake pedal but the brakes failed to respond. The contact stated that the brakes were depressed several times before the vehicle eventually responded and stopped. The service brake and abs brake warning lights were illuminated after the failure occurred. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that there was a leak next to the brake reservoir and as a result, the entire brake line needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 60,000.
