Description of the problem | my son was driving my gmc pickup ( always dealer maintained ) to a friends house. While driving in traffic, he went to apply the brakes and the peddle went to the floor. He was not injured but it was a very scary situation. When looking into the problem, i find the brake lines rusted through. I also have found that gm is aware of this problem and has done nothing to correct a very serious problem. Thank god my son was not injured. I hope other people who allow their children to drive will be as lucky. |
