While driving on local road brakes failed, had to downshift and use emergency brake to stop truck. I found out after investigating, that the brake lines had rusted so badly that the hydraulic pressure blew out the brakeline to the front driverside wheel. Turns out that this is a common problem on chevy trucks and there has not been a recall yet !!! Does someone have to get hurt or die before this design flaw gets recalled? The brake system is a major safety component of any vehicle, why is the federal safety agency not acting on this? The entire brake line system needs replaced before the truck can be driven again.
