Eight problems related to brake hoses, lines/piping, and fittings have been reported for the 2002 GMC C2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I had been driving for 15-20 miles both on and off the highway and the vehicle stopped fine. I was traveling at about 60 mph and was coming up on highway traffic that was at a standstill . I stepped on the brake peddle and it went strait to the floor, absolutely no brakes at all and no even a hint this was about to happen. I was able to swerve out of the way, narrowly missing the vehicle in front of me, and used the transmission and e brake to get the vehicle stopped on a grassy shoulder. Had a vehicle been next to me or a less experienced driver been behind the wheel, it may have been a much worse outcome . I know at least 10 people who own similar vehicles and everyone has had a brake line failure at some point. Gm needs to step up and cover this before someone else get hurt or killed!.

Local mechanic replaced lines from master cyl. To abs device.

I had an unexpected brake failure caused by the rust through of the brake line under the driver seat. It was fortunate that I was in a parking lot and going at a slow speed at the time. I had to replace the entire brake line system as there was rust on all the lines. The repair cost was $741. 89. I have had other gm vehicles, and have never experienced this type of failure before.
