Description of the problem | I was approaching a busy intersection at a normal speed. When i used the brake it instantly went to the floor. No brakes! I went through the intersection into an empty lot. Thank god no accident. The brake line rotted because gm routed cheap steel lines in areas where sand, salt and water collect. Gmc refused to cover the repair and it cost me 500. 00. |
