Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Brakes were weak, almost to floor so the car was towed home. While slowly backing the car into driveway the brakes failed completely. Stepped on emergency brake and intermediate cable broke. The e-brake cable failed because of rust and the brake lines to the ebcm where they go over frame all failed. The only part on this car that has rusted beyond anything normal are the brake lines. Unbelievably rusted! When the brakes (e-brake and both lines) all failed the car rolled out of controlled into a tree. The rear hatch glass shattered and i had a sore neck for 5-days. This is apparently a common problem to this car where salt is used. The brakes started to go weak (1-line must have failed) as my wife approached a toll booth, only luck prevented a catastrophic event from happening. I can't believe we were not notified or the car was not recalled! Gm and the nhtsa shame on you. You knew of a safety problem and have done nothing. Gm stating that you will still have brakes if the line fails is a weak argument, you have to press much harder after the first line goes and the other line is ready to fail. Guess what happens, no brakes. Please have a gm executive drive one of these death traps and hit the brakes hard. The last thing that should rust are the brake lines. A little common sense goes a long way.
