I was driving along the interstate and traffic abruptly stopped in front of me. When pressed on the brake pedal, I slowed down a little, but then the pedal went to the floor, and I rear-ended the car in front of me. After the police report was filed, I got it to a chevy dealer and they said that one of the steel brake lines from the master cylinder to the front passenger side was rusted and had burst, spilling all of the brake fluid. The wreck damaged the front passenger side bumper, and broke the grille and the headlight support bracket.

The high beam indicator is too bright on my 2004 chevrolet 3500 drw cc pickup. At night, the light is bright enough to impair the vision of the driver. Everytime I drive my truck at night (which is alot in the wintertime in alaska when we have reduced daylight hours) the high beam indicator is so bright that I have had to cover it to reduce the glare and not limit my visibility of oncoming vehicles, moose, pedestrians, etc.
