Description of the problem | I put my truck in reverse to back out of the shop and my brake pedal went to the floor. I quickly threw it in park an turned the truck off. I then pushed the brake pedal again and it again went to the floor and i heard brake fluid squirting out. I put the truck on the lift and raised it up to inspect the issue. After doing so i found very rusted brake lines and components. After research i found this to be a very common issue with these trucks. Seems maybe gm should be fixing the issue. I wouldn't think a truck less than 10 years old should have such rusted brake parts. Especially since the exhaust is made from stainless, why not brake lines? |
