Description of the problem	While driving to work approaching an intersection the car in front of me signaled to turn right last minute and applied the brakes, i also applied the brakes and the pedal went all the way to the floor. If i didn't have enough following distance i would have crashed right in to the car. I only had about 1/2 inch of brake pedal and drove in low gear very carefully the rest of the short distance to work. When i got out of the truck i saw brake fluid pouring out of the brake lines below the drivers side door and they were completely rusted out. Upon further inspection i realized all my brake lines were rusty on a nine year old vehicle, i never saw anything like this before. I had to get the vehicle towed and repaired at a local garage that charged me $1,547. 61 to replace all the lines and did a horrible job. I had called the gmc dealer i dealt with in the past and they were inundated with recall work and had at least a 2 week wait and another gm dealer that gmc customer service provided me and they were also all booked up with recall work and so i was forced to trust a local shop. This a safety issue that could get people killed, i always have my wife and kids in the truck and it was a death trap. In talking to gmc reps is seems they have no intention to reimburse me for this premature and accelerated rusting condition that could have caused me or someone else their life.
