The brake lines basically rusted off the truck, the first occurrence I went to use the truck and the brake pedal went to the floor and I started smelling brake fluid. Had it towed to have repairs done (06/04/2011) the lines that showed the main problem were changed for new. Exactly 2 years I had my big car trailer hooked up loaded with my tractor. Another line going to the rear of the truck ruptured in the yard. Going back to the shop again, I had a company out west make all new stainless steal lines for it.(06/20/2014) and now I'm again broken down again (03/07/2015). This has cost me a considerable amount of money and I'm not through I fear. This time the ABS system wants to continue to run and running the battery down. Gm should be on top of this.

My vehicle was in 4 wheel drive as I was leaving a parking lot and entering a highway. The vehicle was only traveling about 5 MPH. I applied the brake but the vehicle did not stop. I then pressed the brake pedal with both feet and there was a noise and then the ABS brake system started to stop the vehicle. I was just able to stop before rolling out onto a very busy highway. I took the pick-up to the chevy dealership and had it checked out. After several people drove it, it was determined there are no problems. I have owned this pick-up since the fall of 2001 purchasing it new. This pick-up may have a problem with the ABS brakes. I have driven all 113,563 miles in this truck and I know the vehicle. There is definitely something wrong with the braking system.

While stopped at an intersection at a red light, the vehicle started to creep forward toward people in the crosswalk. Depressing the brake pedal further resulted in it fading, ending in a fully depressed position with no more pedal travel available. The vehicle continued to roll forward into the crosswalk. Placing the transmission in neutral stopped vehicle movement. After stopping and inspecting under the hood and under the front end of vehicle showed leaking brake fluid from one of the metallic brake lines serving the right front brake. After taking the vehicle to my local gm dealer and placing it on the service rack, inspection showed that all the metallic brake lines are severely rusted over the majority of the line surface. The right front line disintegrated to the point where the line separated while checking the condition of the line. The other brakes lines are rusted to the point where failure is imminent. All the metallic brake lines from the master cylinder, down to the ABS control module and then out to each brake caliper must be replaced. The failure of the braking system created a serious situation that could have resulted in bodily injury to the pedestrians in the crosswalk. Without placing the transmission in neutral it would have eventually struck a pedestrian. In addition to the brake lines, the fuel lines show excessive rust as well. The dealer does not recommend replacement of the fuel lines at this time, but replacement will be required in the near future.

On the listed date, while in traffic, I applied my brakes and warning sensors chimed notifying me my brakes are failing. I pulled over and inspected my brake fluid reservoir and found it empty. I inspected the lines and found brake fluid leaking behind my driver's side rear wheel. I filled the reservoir and brought the truck to my mechanic. Upon inspection, the line attached to the ABS was leaking and completely rusted. The other lines were inspected and my mechanic noted that the lines looked as though they were on a 30 year old vehicle. This is a huge safety concern which is going to cost me a great deal of money fix. Thankfully I was the one driving and not my wife or kids.

I was on the interstate driving about 60 to 70 MPH when all of a sudden my truck switched to fwd low all on its own. I was able to pull off on the shoulder . I was able to put the vehicle back in 2wd. Later the service 4wd light came on. I also have occasions when all of the dash lights will come on and all the gauges drop and now my ABS light flashes and the warning bell rings as I drive down the road.
