Brake Disc Caliper Problems of GMC Sierra 2500

Ii put new brake calipers on my truck today and had my wife pumping the brake peddle as I bled the brakes and got to the last caliper rears then the 2 fronts when she told me the brake peddle was not holding like it was , and then smoke came out from under the truck and I looked underneath & seen brake fluid everywhere below drivers door the fluid under pressure blew over against the hot engine componets as u have to run engine when bleeding the lines lucky I guess it did not catch fire, but after I got on the internet trying to find a replacement I found that is a common problem , I did see the other lines looked bad also the fuel lines looked the same good thing it happened in the driveway at home . Maybe would have been better off if it burnt down , g. M should fix all of these problems with these trucks on their dime as much as these trucks cost. !!.

We took our 28 ft camper to be repaired which consisted of driving on interstate an at a high rate of speed but doing the speed limit. On our way home we were no longer hauling the camper because it had been left behind for repair. I thank god for this because I would hate to think what would have happened if we were hauling the camper on the interstate and the brake line would have broken then. When we were almost home I felt something was wrong with the brakes. I had to press them all the way to the floor to get my vehicle to stop. I was close to a advanced auto so I drove very slowly and stayed far from vehicles so that I could make it there for them look to see if I was low on fluid. But when I turned into their parking lot immediately after I put on the brakes to park it the brake line broke. I had to have my vehicle towed to a local dealership where I had to have repairs done. Not only the brake lines were changed but the calipers also. The bill was just under 5 thousand dollars. I called GMC all they did was call the dealership to make sure everything was done. Which was no help to me. I could have taken care of that myself. I believe this is a great injustice to GMC owners that they know of a situation and would let us use these vehicles to haul our children on camping trips putting their safety in danger. I will not purchase another GMC vehicle. Also my extended warranty ended a few weeks before. Although I was told they would not have covered it . I also bring my vehicle for oil changes as required to the dealership which they do check other things as a routine. I cannot understand why these auto repairmen didn't catch this . There is no reason this should have happened to this vehicle. . . When your brakes go out you looking at a major danger to yourself and others.

This complaint covers my 2004 GMC Sierra 2500hd crew cab 4wd. Almost one year ago I had a main brake line blow underneath the drivers side of the truck. The line was so corroded it was no wonder. This incident happened on 9-7-10. I was hooked to my fifth wheel camper and was preparing to pull out of driveway and when I placed foot on brake to shift into drive it blew. Thankfully I was just beginning to move. I had the truck towed to my local mechanic and he replaced the line and flushed system. Now again on 8-22-11 same situation occured. The line blew in exactly the same position as first time only a different line this time. Not to mention the other corrosion on the brake calipers and hardware that rendered my rear brakes useless. Had to replace rotors and pads due to sticking brake pad wearing to point of metal to metal contact. Did I mention I purchased this truck new and it now has only 38,500 miles. Rarely does it get driven in snow and salt. I have all receipts for parts that this problem has caused me. Im just thankful that I wasnt towing as I usually do when im driving this truck. Ive talked to my local dealership don hall in ashland, ky and they cite hundreds of trucks having this same problem. When are they going to do something about this. I am a loyal gm fan but I worked at a Toyota dealership for two years selling used vehicles. I made it a habit of checking all of our gm truck trade-ins for this rust problem and they too had this. I saw even two to three year old vehicles rusted to the point of collapse. One of these being a $65000 Cadillac escalade. Appalling.
