Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings Problems of Chevrolet Trailblazer

Driving approx 70mph on the highway, suddenly heard a "whap whap whap" noise coming from the back of the vehicle. I slowed down, and the sound diminished. Arriving home, I found that the center brake light assembly had come loose at both ends. The two center connections luckily held, or else the piece would have come off the car and possibly caused an accident. I have read that other Trailblazers have had the same issue.

Leaving parking lot (& wanting to turn onto road) I applied my 2005 Trailblazer ext brakes. My foot & pedal went to floor with no brake at all. Thankfully no cars & going slow enough or I would have hit them. Instead of stopping at end of parking lot, I found myself entering road & seeing trees on other side of road coming up quickly. I grabbed the emergency brake lever. Scared me to death!!! vehicle then taken to repair shop. Shop owner report = hole rubbed in brake line close to driver firewall separating engine from seat area. He further said "been in business for 30+ years and had never seen this before. Seems like a huge design flaw. " rubbing on another line & pinhole there now - which would explain why my a/c was not working on driver side, but working on the pass side. How many other people had an accident? have another (?). . . If gm has known about a problem for yrs on several models: very well documented on internet by hundreds (if not thousands of owners) - why won't ntsaa make gm do something? problem = speed gauge, oil pressure gauge, & radio all of a sudden stop working one day. Then some days they all work, some days only 1 work, some days 2 work??? an equipment malfunction or computer glitch? happened about 75k miles on both my auto & my dad's 2005 chevy pickup. I live in se, he lives in ne. Two areas of us; yet each dealership wanted about $600. 00 to fix it. Called no help available!! searched internet for repair fix, & noticed tons of unhappy owners w/ same problem: gm would not help them pay for this problem - even though it's their equipment problem. Clearly it is a safety issue: no one can tell how fast actually going & led to many accidents & speeding tickets I'm sure! time ntsaa steps in don't you think? then have the brake/ac line rubbing issue - clearly a safety issue & I hope you do something! I still have the brake line.

Took a trip of approximately 130 miles, driving my daughter and grandchildren in very hilly part of cincinnati, ohio. Upon getting back home I noticed a oily spot on the driveway and got in my vehicle and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. Inspection of brakes showed a rusty brake line with hole. All lines show premature rusting. Rest of vehicle shows little rust. .

Rear brakes failed due to vehicle design flaw resulting in rear driver's side brake hose remaining in contact with emergency brake cable assembly. The brake hose is too short and was either designed, installed or not routed correctly. At highway speeds the loss of the rear brakes in an SUV will potentially result in a crash or a roll over, in an emergency braking situation, with loss of life.
