| Parking Brake problems |
I was parked in a friends driveway and was about to leave when I released the parking brake stepped on the brake pedal and put my 2002 GMC 2500hd truck into gear. I started driving down the street and approached a stop sign, when I applied the brakes the pedal went straight to the floor. I pulled off to the side of the road and opened the hood when I noticed brake fluid all over the frame in the engine compartment. Upon further investigation I found all the brake lines to be severely rusted and at least one of them ruptured. I was driving with my 9 month old son at the time of the incident and thank god nobody was coming the other way down the road. I had the truck towed to my home where it sits awaiting a total brake line replacement. The underneath of the truck is so severely rusted I think GMC is liable and should issue a recall to correct the problem.
2002 GMC Sierra 2500 crew cab customer states that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for starting problems then found out about recall on emergency brake after having the work done he found out that the left side brake cable was not included only the right side cable was included. * the consumer was told that the starting problem was due to a leaking fuel filer, which they replaced.
