Tl* the contact owns a 1990 chevrolet silverado pickup. He stated since purchase, the vehicle had poor brake stopping ability at various speeds from 5 MPH and up. The vehicle was taken to his independent mechanic where it was found the rear brake line pinched under a hot rivet causing a decrease in brake stopping distance. This also caused a failure in the brake fluid reaching the rear brakes. The rear brake line and two rear brake cylinders were replaced at the owner's expense. Since the repairs, brake stopping distance improved. The failure mileage was 7300 and the current was 156,000.

This is a very dangerous and expensive component failure. Dealership stated that they had many trucks come in with this problem.
