It was a on sept 2 2006, my 17 yr daughter was driving on the highway a hour and half a way from home and noticed failure in her brakes. They where not working good when she got closer to her destination she lost all brakes control. This could have been a fatality if this would have been on the highway but all brake function was lost at her approaching destination. The cause was a brake line plastic clip was busted which caused the line to rub against the crankshaft and rubbed a hole in the line causing the fluid to run out, it cost 175. 00 to fix, that including the towing. I feel if this hose was held by a metal clip this would not have happened, I think this should be a recall because this could have been a very serious after come, not to mention this was my 17 year old child.

Battery died @ gas station(6yr/75k repl model)/when rpl'd found acid on abs module/brake lines under battery. Gm case #c05363927-gm won't repair or pay for diag of brake sys or reimburse $75 for battery that was under 2. 5 yrs old(label on battery says 6yr-75000 mile battery). Multiple occurences noted on NHTSA complaints database lead me to believe gm is aware of problem already. One customer odi id #868902 had acid eat hole in brake line.

Brakes were damaged by leaking + term. On battery, brake lines were damaged.
I drove the vehicle over a snow mound created by the snow plows after a pass along the street. After that the vehice made a terrible scapping noise. I stoppped the vehicle three times to check and see if ice or snow was packed up in the wheel well or under car. After getting back to work one of the guys crawled under my vehicle and said there was a metal line hanging to the ground that was leaking what smelled like brake fluid. I called roadside assisstance and the vehicle was picked up. The brake line was dislodged and dragging the pavement from just driving over snow. The manufacturer says it is road damage and I must pay for it. Anything I drive over is considered road damage. But you can't drive in alaska without driving over snow. But if simply driving over snow can dislodge my brake line this seems pretty dangerous to me, since I live in alaska. I asked if they protected the brake lines. I think they should be better protected better then what they are. I am worried about driving my vehicle now. I feel it is unsafe. Please help.
