Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problems of the 2006 GMC Sierra 2500

Brakes failed "completely", with no warning. No "warning light" on the instrument panel while driving on a public road in the county. All of a sudden absolutely no brakes. Had recently hauled a car on a trailer from emporia, kansas. Was preparing to haul calves to the sale barn. Now that would have been a total disaster. Upon inspection, the brake lines are so rusted, that pinching off the line resulted in a rupture in another location. I was trying to get some braking action, so I could drive it to a repair shop. I'll have to haul it.

Brake lines busted. This is a very serious problem because I was hauling a load and got extremely extremely lucky that it busted as I was pulling in driveway. I was pulling a loaded trailer with no brakes. This is a very common issue with the 2005 and 2006 2500 trucks. I can name 6 vehicles I know of in the past 6 months that this has happened too. Mechanic says it's a very serious and common issue that gm should be recalling. If I would have been at a stoplight it would have been bad. Cheap materials is the problem with these brake lines. 2006 year model is mine.

In the city stopping for a stoplight the brakes failed. The vehicle luckily was able to turn into a parking lot. All fluid was lost because the brake lines failed due to rust. No brakes whatsoever except emergency brake. My state even requires a safety inspection yearly. If the consumer is not going to be notified of this serious problem at least let the safety inspectors know.

Vehicle in motion. Brake line failure (burst) while driving on crowded city street - 30mph. Pedal sank to floor. Total loss of brakes. Used emergency brake and gear in park to stop. Near collision with bicyclist.

Brake line to rear brakes rusted out.

Brake failure caused by corroded brake lines.

Brake line ruptured due to corrosion which was not visible during safety inspections. After applying brakes to stop at an intersection, brake line broke, causing a complete loss of brakes and loss of vehicle control. I had to use the transmission and the emergency brake to stop the truck. Several local mechanics commented that they are seeing an increase in the number of this type of failure on similar model years. With no failover system to stop the truck, this should be listed as a safety issue.

I brought my 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 hd in for a brake service as normal. Technician installed brakes and rotors and took truck for a test ride. As technician was bringing truck back from the test ride, brake line ruptured and split! this was the rear drivers side brake line located under a plate. Technician said he nearly crashed the truck into another vehicle and had to use the emergency brake and curb to stop the truck! with all the trucks out there, gm's trucks seem to have the highest brake line failure. I am writing to you to inform you of the problem that could endanger the lives of anyone driving the vehicle as well as the people around it! my hope is that gm sees there is a problem and corrects it before any fatalities arise from brake failure!.

Arriving at my RV site in alabama from upper michigan a neighbor saw something leaking from near the left front tire of my pickup. Upon determining it was diesel I immediately drove to the local chevy dealer. They said due to the condition of the lines they all be replaced. Next day I was asked to come to the garage to look at the brake lines as they could not move any to get proper routing of the fuel lines. The lines attaching to the abs modulator, total of 6, looked like you could crumble them with your hand so all were replaced as well. I pull a 33 foot fifth wheel and consider we were extremely fortunate nothing happened on the road.

I have a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 hd on 7/24/2013 the truck was having tires installed at a local store. They truck was brought in for a wheel alignment service by a mechanic . The mechanic showed the leak and the corrosion on the brake lines above the I beam. They said to call the dealership in town. I called my insurance company to tow the 2006 GMC to the dealership. After the dealership discovered the problem with the rusted lines they asked for $ 1400. 00 for replacing the rusted lines.

I purchased the 2006 2500hd diesel pickup new. The truck has had poor braking since new and the dealer has always said it functions normally. I have had the dealer do all the maintenance on the truck other than oil and filter changes. The undercarriage of the truck including all lines, brakes rotors, hubs¦ has been rusting since new. The underside of the truck looks like a 20 year old plow truck. On 12-6-2012 I was driving on the highway in traffic and the experienced a complete brake failure. Some how I did not hit anything and was able to get to the shoulder and coast to a stop (very lucky in n. J. Traffic). The brake lines blew the truck was towed back to the dealer and they find the lines are gone as well as the rotors that they replaced about 2 years ago. The pads are still in great shape but the rotors are rusted beyond usability. Looking into this I find I am not alone and would like to know if I can get info on the issue including, is the problem fixed in the new trucks and is compensation available as the truck is on its way to the rust grave yard with the sheet metal rusting from the underside also.

Brake line failure between abs flow control and rear brakes. Followed by a second failure about a month later with a front brake line. Replace all lines at that point due to rusting. Vehicle was garaged in new england, and spent last 3 winters in florida where the lines failed.

Rusted brake lines.
