Description of the problem	Moments after leaving the driveway at our home, approaching an intersection at about 25 mph, i applied the brakes on my 2002 gmc sierra, and the pedal went to the floor. I couldn't stop the vehicle before going through the intersection. Fortunately no other vehicles were in the intersection and no accident occurred. After returning the vehicle to the driveway i discovered brake fluid under the truck bed and dripping from the frame. I could not see the source of the leak as it was well hidden either in or above the truck frame. I had the vehicle brought by flat bed truck to a local auto repair garage. The mechanics found the brake lines to be heavily rusted and one had rusted through and failed, causing the earlier brake failure. Because the brake line rusting was so heavy, all the brake lines were replaced. Also,, the two front brake calipers were replaced because of heavy rust. The rusted brake lines are available. The consequences of this was a repair bill of $1149. 78, and having my truck in the shop for several days. Luckily, nobody was hurt. If this had occurred later in the day in the same location it may not have turned out the same. This is the third major brake repair done on this truck. I am the original owner. I have had to have the brake pads and rotors replaced twice. Both times i was told the rotors were so badly rusted they needed to be replaced. During the first six years of owning the vehicle it was kept in a garage. It has always been well taken care of. With this repair, i have spent over $3000. To keep brakes functioning on this truck.
