The brake pedal went to the floor, because the brake line had rusted through. The truck has never been in an snow. Had to flat-bed truck to local chevy dealer. They replaced two lines.

2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 23 of 23, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When applying the brakes the pedal went very close to the floor with very little stopping power, when I took the truck to the chevrolet dealer they informed me a brake line had busted and the brake lines are rusted and all the brake lines have to be replaced at the sum of $1,400, this truck is used for a family vehicle and is not a work truck, I may be wrong but I feel 6 years is no way near the life expectancy of a safety system such as a brakes in this geographical area, I was told by the dealer that this was not uncommon.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet silverado 2500. The contact stated that after parking the vehicle, brake fluid was noticed leaking from the vehicle. Upon further investigation, it was found that the brake lines had extensive corrosion. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 87,500.
My brake lines gave out, apparently they are all rusted and in bad shape. My vehicle had just finished an annual safety inspection at a repair shop. Upon leaving the shop when I depressed the pedal to stop for a traffic light, the truck would not stop. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor and the truck took approximately 3 - 4 times the normal distance to stop. There was no warning nor light indicating any issue with the brakes.
When operating vehicle in driveway, brake pedal suddenly went to the floor. Upon inspection it was found that a steel brake line toward the rear of vehicle had burst due to corrosion. In this case a complete loss of braking was noted resulting in a minor collision with a tree. No damage to the vehicle or driver. Since this truck is only approx. 5-6 years of age, it seems as though this is quite an early failure. Fortunately it failed in the driveway and not several minutes later when on the highway.
Brake line ruptured when applying brakes resulting in the complete loss of braking.
Vehicle would not stop properly, rear brake rotors were very rusted causing brake pads on rear to come apart even though there was plenty of linging left on pads.
I purchased a new 2007 4x4 chevy silverado 2500 hd duramax diesel truck. I have had my hubs fail twice leaving me without brakes. This last time my hub failed my brakes locked up while driving. Abs system failed. My children & I were very startled. I am a mother of six children. I have little faith in my vehicle being safe for children or anyone. $913.00 dollars later it is fixed. All new wiring harness & hub.warranty didn't cover. My vehicle has in the 3 years that I have owned it has spent approx. 8 months total being serviced for malfunctions. Steering has been an issue throughout also. Steering shaft has been replaced 2 times along with entire steering box. It has had entire rear end replacement also. I have 3 years of service proof. My list goes on and on. *tr the contact stated that the vehicles safety issues started after the lift was installed .
When slowing to a stop, the ABS system would let loose causing the truck to drift appx. 10 feet before stopping.
My truck has 25,000 miles on it and the brake rotors on the front of the truck are warped the truck is just a year old, it seems to me that this is a little early for this to happen.
Problems when I back up and forward, the brakes make noise I went to the dealer and they tell me, that is normal, but for a new vehicle it's not I don't like it they don't do anything, this bother me, plus this is the third time I took it in and I told them since the first time that it was vibrating, it seems that they are some transmission problems too.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet silverado 2500. The contact purchased the vehicle with an integrated brake controller that is used for hauling a trailer with brakes. When he applies the brakes in his vehicle, the brakes on the trailer are supposed to illuminate simultaneously. However, this is not the case. While hauling a camper at 30 MPH, each time the contact applied the brakes, the trailer would push the vehicle forward, nearly causing a rear end crash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer approximately 3 times. The first time, the dealer stated that they could not diagnose the failure because the system was brand new. The second time, the contact spoke with the service manager and was informed that they needed the proper tools to diagnose the failure. The third time, they inspected the vehicle and stated that the vehicle was supposed to have a 2.5 second delay from when he electronically applied the brakes in the vehicle to the time that it reached the trailer. The contact stated that it felt more like a 3.5 second delay. The failure mileage was between 500-1000 and the current mileage was 8,606.
Brake and power steering failure while driving. No indicator lights, no warnings. Unable to stop or steer vehicle weighing over 6000 lbs.
