Description of the problem	I was at my local coffee shop drive thru. I left the drive thru and as i approached the exit, rolling very slow i experienced the dreaded gm brake failure. My foot went to the floor. Luckily i was able to use the emergency brake before involuntarily merging onto a busy secondary road. I understand rust is inevitable but all of the brake lines are beyond repair according to my mechanic - he will not repair them only replace them. My bigger issue is the fact that since 1967 all cars & light trucks use a dual master cylinder enabling the vehicle to stop incase of brake failure. My gmc and apparently others have the same issue - that even when a line blows the trucks will not stop! The dual master does not do what it is designed to do! This coupled with the fact that i also have been plagued with abs low speed problems since 60k i really feel that gm engineers and bean counters need to agree on safety. Considering that brake lines of thirty years ago are better than late model products would it really be that much for the feds to require stainless steel brake lines? My 2002 sierra looks good but the underside (chassis, suspension parts and brake lines) are not good. This truck is not a good investment and it is definitely full of safety issues. If i was in traffic i am sure that i would not been able to stop without an accident. We as consumers do not need third brake lights and useless abs brakes. We need brakes that work when pressure is applied to the pedal!
