Description of the problem	Our truck was at collision shop for a repair from a hit and run in a lowe's parking lot.. When they finished, they took the truck out of the garage to take for a car wash. When pulling out of their business the truck would not stop. They pushed it back into the parking lot and restarted and tested the brakes. There were no brakes. They looked under the truck and saw the brake fluid flowing out on the ground. We had the truck towed to our mechanic and one of the lines was broke. He replaced it ($298. 00). He told us the other lines were also in bad shape. We became aware that gm had a problem after seeing a television news story. We took copies of this story to our local gmc dealer, the collision shop and our mechanic. Our gmc dealer said they knew nothing about this problem. On september 25, 2013 we had the remainder of the lines replaced. ($984. 80). We have since encountered two additional people who have had the same problem. This truck was purchased in michigan, but we spend out winters in florida, so it has limited exposure to salt used during the winter. What scares us about this is: on the day before we took the truck to the collision shop, we were going to drive 45 miles to ann arbor, mi for a birthday party. We decided at the last minute not to go. If we had gone that day, this would have happened to us traveling on the expressway at 70 mph! This is a scary thing. To quote the news story: "gm, in a statement to 7 action news states this is 'not a safety issue' as the brakes still operate with a broken brake line and admit that rusty brake lines are a problem that 'can happen over time', presumably from liquid salt used in cold weather states. Gm has a solution. The company is offering what they call a deeply discounted brake repair kit that runs $2-thousand dollars for only $500". Gm needs to step up to the plate and let owners know.
