Description of the problem	While traveling home this morning from a ball game on nc back roads with our two children, my wife [xxx] said the brakes failed and the warning light came on and the buzzer sounded. Unable to stop, they rolled through a stop sign and pulled into a church parking lot. Upon inspection, brake fluid was dripping from a rusted brake line just inside the left rear wheel. I purchased the vehicle new and it has been in the charlotte, nc area most of its service life. Annual trips to northern michigan with proper post trip washings should not have created this amount of rust and corrosion on key components such as the brake lines. This known problem must relate to the inferior quality of metal of gm allowed the supplier to use. The numerous failures i've read about have not been limited to the northern climates and consequently will result in numerous deaths as these vehicles age further. Answering the problem last fall with pre made replacement brake lines for customers to buy and have installed falls short of meeting gm's obligation to deliver safe and reliable vehicles. The affected vehicles should be inspected and repaired proactively by gm asap. Several years ago subaru promptly recalled their corroded brake lines; why has gm been given a pass?
