May of 2012 the brake line on the frame rail under the drivers seat failed, august 2013 brake line failed in two places at the same time just after a state inspection,repaired,and another brake line 1 foot from the mastercylinder along the drivers side frame rail just hours after the last repair, I have done my research this is not an isolated to just my truck failure g.m. Has known for sometime now their is a problem with low grade metal being used on their trucks but it would cost too much to address, so instead the public safety is being jeopardized over costs I am positive if someone would check brake related crashes they would be shocked at the results of the failures of these trucks.
