Description of the problem | I had a braking problem march 2015, corrosion of the brake lines. I have a 2003 yukon 2500 quadrasteer. I was driving my truck when the brakes went. There was no warning light!!!!! I pushed the brake pedal practically to the floor, i was able to roll into a parking lot. When i got out there was brake fluid pouring out from the brake lines towards the rear of the vehicle. Why gm runs the lines right along the front of the vehicle undercarriage is a mystery to me. It is just going to be exposed to salt! I live in michigan and we use a lot of salt in the winter months. Yes things do rust, but i always wash the undercarriage of my truck! It¿ |
