Description of the problem	This truck and i reside in wisconsin but were in florida at the time of the incident. My travel on 2/21 was to pick up my young granddaughter at her school. I was traveling at around 40 mph in fairly heavy afternoon traffic, i had crossed a controlled intersection about a mile from the school and applied the brakes to slow down, the pedal went to the floor. I pumped the brakes and was able to slow the truck down. I proceeded to the school at a very reduced speed using the parking brake and pumping the brakes. I was able to safely get to the school. I exited the school yard and parked the truck. Called a tow truck for the rest of the trip. The mechanic that repaired the brake lines said there has been a partial recall on gmc and chevrolet trucks for faulty brake lines but my truck was not included. He said the worst rust was at the abs control but there were other area's involved also. This vehicle is only 9 years old. I have owned vehicles much older than this one and have never had a brake line rust through. I urge you to do a deeper study and recall if necessary, into what appears to be the use of inferior brake lines and/ or poor placement of the abs control on a wider range of this vehicle. It was fortunate that this incident did not cause an accident or injury or take place as we were returning home through the mountains in tennessee a few weeks later. I again urge you to extend the recall further into this trucks production. Thank you for your attention to this dangerous and extremely unsafe condition.
