Description of the problem	My truck hadn't been driven for a couple of weeks, but there was no indication of anything amiss the last time i drove it. The truck is parked at the top of a approx. 40ft. Long driveway that is moderately steep. I started the truck and slowly began backing down the driveway and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. It flew down the driveway, going between a parked car and another steep hill, winding up in my neighbors front yard, where i managed to abruptly turn it and bring it to a stop before going thru his living room. Frequently, there are as many as 6to8 kids playing there, but being a bad weather day(cold),, luckily, there was nobody there. The possibilities of a terrible disaster are frightening. As it stands, the only 'disasters' are the ruts in my neighbors yard, a destroyed recycling container and my bank account,-to a tune of just over 1700$. My mechanic says he has done over a half dozen of these repairs lately. To my way of thinking, gm is seriously negligent regarding this problem, which i have discovered is fairly common. Are they waiting to see how many horrific events occur before addressing this? At the very least, they should give reimbursement to those of us that have gone thru this. And where is nhtsa's action on this issue???
