Description of the problem	A vehicle pulled out in front of my son last night on his way to a boy scout meeting. The speed limit was 45. My son hit the brakes which locked up then let loose. Pedal went to the floor . He avoided hitting the car that pulled out on him and when i arrived found that the metal brake line running along the frame had ruptured as it bent to go across the frame behind the cab. This truck has only 70,000 miles on it and this is a premature failure due to premature rust. I own and 1971 dodge dart and a 1978 pontiac firebird with original metal brake lines on both with no rust on lines at all and i live in ohio and they are driven in the winter. I feel fortunate my son and no one else was injured due to the catastrophic failure of the gm metal brake line. Hope others will be just as fortunate. Toyota was forced into a recall of there truck line due to premature rusting problems and gm should be made to follow suite. These vehicles are accidents waiting to happen. I also own a 1994 gmc c2500 suburban that has no visible rust on the brake lines either with 170,000 miles that i have owned for 15 years. . The 2003 gmc chassis is truly sub standard to say the least. Please look into these issues i have read the forums out there and i know i am not alone. Thanks.
