Description of the problem | After putting the vehicle in park and proceeding down my driveway, the abs lights began flashing and chiming on the dash. I pushed the brake pedal and it went to the floor. I stopped the vehicle with the emergency brake. I got out of the vehicle and noticed brake fluid dripping underneath the truck. I crawled under the truck and found the left rear brake line had corroded through just above the fuel tank. I called the dealer and he stated this is a known defect from gm. He said i needed all brake lines replaced and gm's new parts had an extra coating to prevent corrosion. It cost me $1100. This type of failure seems way too soon for a truck with 38,000 miles. |
