Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problems of the 2000 GMC Sierra 2500

I purchased this truck used and was able to use for a bout a month before both rear spring perches broke allowing the springs to rest under the pickup body, after replacing them the brake lines ruptured because of rust another poor quality product from gm !.

Brake lines rusted to point of replacement.

Steel brake line ruptured under truck causing loss of brakes while towing a boat.

Front brake line burst!.

Badly rotting/corroded brake lines. One has now burst. Brake peddle goes to the floor. There was no warning. No warning light now or prior to the failure.

Brakes start anti lock feature when approaching stop, greatly lengthening the stopping distance. . . . . This is repeat of same problem recalled in oct 2005, resolution of which was to clean the components. . . Well they get rusty again and the same problem is back. . . . Note that brakes are terrible on this vehicle, all components have been previously replaced including both rusted out brake lines(July 2009, 55745 miles, $1684. 03).

Brake line failure due to corroded brake lines on a 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 pick -up truck, luckily it happened pulling out of the drive way and not on the highway, see that there are hundreds of complaints about the same problem, something needs to be done before someone gets killed ! if not so already !.

Was using my truck to tow another car on a trailer at the time. Went to stop from about 40 mph. My brake pedal went right to the floor. Without warning. Found that all brake lines on the truck were rusted and had blown out.

Rusted brake lines causing brake failure. In dealer now for repair. A costly repair due to the fact that they were engineered on the truck to never be replaced as the dealer needs to lift the truck cab off the truck to replace. . Feel this corrosion and failure is premature as I have had older vehicles that had hardly any corrosion or have failed. I was lucky that I did not get hurt or my family.

In the last week of October, 2009, my father and I were pulling a bumper hitch camping trailer when the truck brakes failed. We were able to limp the rest of the way home by using the emergency brake and the electric assist brakes on the camper. When we had the brakes inspected, we were told that the metal brake lines on the drivers side of the vehicle had corroded inside the frame, next to the gas tank. The brake line was replaced and no further incident has arisen.

Lost brakes while backing up nd had to stop suddenly-brake pedal went to floor and had put vehicle in drive to stop. Set e-brake to hold. Moved vehicle to my driveway to check problem. Brake lines to abs block broke. Lines for front and rear brakes broke due to corrision. Removed lines and found all lines except lines on rear axle failed. Replaced all seven lines.

The contact owns a 2000 GMC Sierra 2500. The contact stated that the vehicle has a leak in the brake line that flows below the framework. This failure causes the vehicle to lose braking ability. While driving 35 mph in dry conditions, the contact had to depress the brake pedal to the floorboard in order to stop the vehicle. The contact brought the vehicle to the dealer who found recall # 00v345000 for the service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings. The contact's vehicle is excluded from the recall. He adds brake fluid everyday to ensure the vehicle stops properly. The current and failure mileages were 100,000.

2000 GMC 2500 sierra brake lines rusting through at frame clip near left front wheel. All brake lines very rusted.

The contact owns a 2000 GMC Sierra 2500. While driving approximately 35 mph, the rear of the vehicle slightly lowered towards the ground. The vehicle was driven with caution to the contact's residence. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed that that the driver side main frame rail was fractured in the center. Additionally, the passenger side main rail was partially fractured. The failure was beyond repair. The contact mentioned that the brake line and rear cross member near the fuel tank were completely corroded. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 92,000.
