Description of the problem | I was leaving my driveway when the brake pedal on my gmc yukon blew out. The line had rusted thorough. This occurred in 2012. Since then as a gm technician i have seen and heard of customers, friends and neighbors with gm trucks have their brake lines blow out from rust. Gm has a real issue which should be investigated. The brakes lines on their truck models tend to rust out. Gm has not issued a recall but offered a new brake line kit. My question to you is why? I have not seen this issue on the same model year gm cars. As far as i know no one has died as a result but there has to have been injuries. Is it not your job to investigate this issue? Once again why? |
