1 Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2014

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!.
