2005 GMC 2500hd that the brake lines failed. After checking they are rusted everywhere. I looked on the internet and I see that this is a ongoing issue with this model year.

The brakes went to the floor and vehicle did not stop, barely avoided a crash. Found pool of brake fluid under truck. Firestone auto charged $675 to replace a rusted out brake line. All other lines are heavily corroded and ready to fail as well.

Brake line under drivers side broke leaving vehicle without any regular stopping capability and requiring tow. Estimated replacement of all lines recommended by GMC dealer due to failures being common, $1,480 plus tax.

Brakes failed to stop vehicle at intersection/stoplight. Brake pedal went to floor and stayed there. Determined that rust through in brake line at driver side of frame, under driver seat, had allowed fluid loss.

I was on my way to work and I lost all brakes,took it to a mechanic ,he informed me it was rusted brake lines.

Depressed brake pedal to stop truck and pedal went straight to the floor. Front brake lines had ruptured due to corrosion. This truck is my main tow vehicle and I had a small trailer on when this occurred. My truck has not seen much winter use since new and I am the owner since new.

While driving down a country road in my pickup truck my brake lines failed in 2 spots due to rust and corrosion. I was pulling a trailer also. Very very dangerous. Lucky to have acted so fast in using the emergency brake.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 GMC sierra 3500. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the brakes were engaged and the vehicle failed to stop.

Started the truck and applied the brakes to shift into gear and the brake pedal went to the floor. After several times pressing the pedal there was no brakes at all. The truck was towed to the dealer where I was informed all the brake line were rusted and needed to be replaced at a cost of $1,300. 00. The truck only had 35,000 miles on it. If I had been driving, I am sure this would have likely caused a serious accident.

The 2005 GMC 2500hd fwd (well maintained and oiled to prevent corrosion) experienced a failure while towing my 24' pursuit fishing boat (7200 lbs. ) home from sturgeon point marina to hamburg, NY 14075 (approximately 10 miles) with "minimal" stopping capability as the dot 3 brake fluid was being expelled. I had to feature the throttle to negotiate stopping senarios without issue. As of 8/20/12, this vehicle is with fuccillo Chevrolet, inc. (grand island, NY) for overhaul of entire braking system; including fuel lines. The certified technician suggested the entire brake lines system be replaced along with the fuel lines due to extreme corrosion. All this work is being performed since the excellent condition of the vehicle. The estimate for this work is approximately $2250 to replace all lines (brake / gas) affected by severe corrosion. This condition is a result of poor material selection not capable of withstanding normal winter conditions found in the northeast. The same standards should be used as selecting exhaust system material. Brakes can kill you. . . . Exhaust systems can not! final note: truck driven 50 miles per week to work (10 miles each day). During winter months, the residual salt is rinsed as required on a weekly basis (or sooner) to prevent corrosion. This truck prior to winter driving has had oil applied to the underframe, apparently, the brake / fuel line where not adequately treated.

I bought my GMC Sierra 2500 in June of 2005. Shortly after I bought the truck I started to notice rust on the trailer hitch and frame rails. As the years have gone by, the entire undercarriage is rusted over. Over the last several years a brake line rusted through and the brake pads & rotors have been replaced several times. I was lucky to be picking my truck up from the shop after an oil change & not driving it, when I noticed brake fluid on the ground under my truck. My speedometer does not work properly & the dashboard lighting works occasionally. My trailer hitch rusted so bad that the last time I put the receiver into the hitch it was stuck & I had to get a friend to connect a chain to his truck & while I drove forward & he reversed, the receiver finally broke free after approx. 10 minutes.
