1 Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 09/25/2015

The brake lines in front are rusted out and leaking creating a serious problem, as the brakes are not working. I see this is a re-occurring problem with GMC vehicles. The cost to repair is astronomical. Why isn't GMC recalling these vehicles?.
