Description of the problem	I was traveling on the interstate towing a 5th wheel trailer and traffic came to an abrupt stop. I applied my brakes and had brakes than the pedal went to the floor and i lost braking power. I let off the brakes and reapplied the brakes and the pedal went to the floor with low breaking affect. I pulled the truck over and found brake fluid coming out from above the gas tank. I carefully took the truck off at the next exit using my trailer brakes to stop the vehicle. I took the truck to the first service station that i saw and had them look at it. They found that the rear brake line had corroded at a clip above the frame rail above the gas tank and advised me that they would have to replace the rear brake line. Unfortunately i was stuck away from my tools and service shops that i use and was stuck being gouged by the service center that i was able to get to for a repair. After i returned home from vacation i questioned the mgt of the service center about the bill. They checked with the local dealer about the hours for the repair and the local dealer advised them that they see this all the time on this vehicle. I looked for a recall on this and found none. I contacted gm about this as just about everyone that i talk to about this problem has all seen it. Gm advised me that it was an isolated problem and that they could not help with the repair since the truck was 9 years old. I advised them that this is a common problem and they deny it but they did offer me $2000 towards a new gm vehicle. I advised them that was not what i was after as i do not need a new vehicle nor want an new vehicle. What i did ask for was 50% of what the repair was as it was a 9 year old truck and they refused. They will not even put the refusal in writing. This needs to be a recall before this problem kills someone as it is a common problem. I seen an investigation to 03 but mine is 04 with same.
