Description of the problem	I was loaded up on my 2003 2500hd chevrolet silverado for the weekend holiday camp trip with truck camper, and boat on trailer behind. For last minute safety my partner was inside the truck and i outside to test the brake lights, signals usual stuff before taking off. For no reason at all the brakes went to the floor and brake fluid all over the ground on the driver side of the vehicle. In looking closer the second line from the driver door on top of the frame has a split in it. I have now looked at the numerous complaints on this happening to other people. I have looked at gm's response for this obvious defect in the brake system and tend to wonder how many persons at gm would purchase a vehicle for themselves or their loved ones knowing of this huge safety issue. The complaints are not just in salt related places. Even if they were does gm not build their vehicles for all states and road conditions??? I can say i am one of the lucky ones that this just happened in our driveway. Where were going entailed mountain driving and i do not believe the outcome would have been the same if it were to happen then i keep thinking about this daily and the fear that goes with the thought of, what if we were in the mountains? Does not go away. I will not drive this vehicle again until i have replaced all the brake lines with stainless steel ones and it is going to be costly. I should not have to do this nor should have all the other persons who have had to. This is an unbelievable safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately before some fatality happens if not already. These vehicles need to be safe in all driving conditions and areas period. Gm needs to recall these vehicles on this which i understand is 6. 1 million. I am appalled they have not already recalled on this and portrayed such a lame excuse as to not do something about it. Please fix this now!
