Service Brakes Problems of GMC C1500

While driving on public 4 lane highway and coming to a yellow light I applied the brake pedal and the pedal instantly went to the floor. I tried to pump the pedal in a panic and still had no effect on stopping the truck. I downshift'ed in to 1st gear manually to use engine braking and slammed my emergency to the floor. The truck was unable to complete the stop in which in had more than 300 ft to do so and I preceded through what had become a red light. This incident happened very late at night so thankfully there were no other vehicle going through the intersection. I had a friend escort me the mile left to my house via his truck and tow strap and my emergency brake as my only brake not to hit the back of his truck. Now upon visual inspection of all my brake and fuel lines they are completely rusted at multiple spots throughout the frame channel and rear axle area. The burst location happened just at the back or drivers door edge to the front of the l/r wheel.

I was backing my boat into the water,stepped on brakes and pedal went to the floor. The brakes were gone. Quickly put in drive and four wheel drive and pulled up ramp(up hill ramp so brakes were not so important used emergency brake to stop). The complete system failed,there were no hydraulic brakes at all as all the lines corroded.

The front brakes on my 1996 GMC sierra C1500 pickup have needed replacement at 29,000 and 49,000 miles. The rear brakes have shown only moderate wear I feel that this indicates a severe imbalance in the braking between the front and rear brakes. Also, the front rotors needed to be replaced do to severe rust. This caused the rotors to delaminate. This appears to be a quality issue with the rotors.
