Description of the problem | I was driving home from work on 421 in eminence, ky. I pushed the brake pedal & i had no brakes right in front of harry hill park. Gm & i are very lucky that no one was killed yesterday. The brake line corroded & leaked the brake fluid, so when i pushed the pedal, it went right to the floor. The vehicle is pretty clean & after checking many blogs & youtube videos this is a very common problem on gm trucks. I checked the recalls on this truck & the tailgate cable is recalled for breaking under load due to corrosion; this could injure somebody, but not as vital compared to the braking system as someone could die in a horrible incident. I would greatly appreciate your attention to this serious matter. Thank you |
