2007 Chevrolet Silverado brakes complaints

Brake failure due to corroded brake pipes.
I began hearing a grinding sound in the front end. Upon removing the tires and rear brake drums I noticed the left front brake pads and the right rear brake shoes showed excessive wear. I know that combination disk/drum brakes use a proportioning valve to adjust hydraulic pressure. I also know that newer systems are dual circuit with one front and one rear wheel on each circuit. I feel my proportioning valve is either misadjusted or malfunctioning applying greater pressure to one circuit over the other. This could cause swerving or a spin out under heavy braking situations.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 MPH, the brakes failed. The brake pedal was fully depressed and the vehicle failed to stop. The emergency brake had to be engaged in order to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician stated that the brake line was rusted. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000. Updated 08/28/14*lj updated 11/10/2014
The vehicle was traveling on holsey road approaching the intersection of holsey road and ridge road. The brakes suddenly failed when depressed to stop the vehicle, and the pedal went down to the floor with no brake control. The brakes had been working perfectly before the incident, and there was no warning of an impending failure.
Abs does not work, light is on the dash. Airbag lights are on the dash and not sure if they are working, tailgate does not latch closed. Key does not always want to turn and we need to move it back and forth before it will start the vehicle.
2007 chevy silverado brake lines rusted out. Luckily I wasn't driving. Noticed while car was parked. Oil all over the ground. Chevy charged me 480 for new brake lines. Ridiculous. I have had cars 20 years old and lines never rusted. Dealer admitted they aren't stainless steel from factory. People can die from this if they are driving, lines leak, they have no brakes.
Lost braking power when trying to stop. Was able to make a complete stop without running all the way into the intersection. Drove home carefully and called dealer. Dealer service said one brake line was completely rusted in two and the other one was just about to.
Doors continuously locking/unlocking, all dash lights continuously turning on/off, clock reset itself to 12:00, engine cutting in/out which also resulted in the loss of power steering and power brakes, all of which occurred while at freeway speed. I purchased the vehicle approximately a year and a half ago from a chevrolet dealer in sacramento, ca. Since I've owned the vehicle there have been multiple occurrences of the clock resetting itself to 12:00, complete power loss when attempting to start the vehicle.
It has not happened yet but all brake lines under truck are corroded real bad.I am worried that I will loose brakes at anytime.I have had to replace steering box and power steering pump because of rust.I only have 48000 miles on truck,why is this happening?
Defective brake lines excessive rust destruction of metal lines no other rust on vehicle line to rear brakes corroded at fuel tank area both lines from master cyl. To ABS block broke off at wheel well left front this truck was in back yard for two weeks wait for title transfer rusted through just sitting there gm does not have replacement brake lines it is my understanding that all chevy gmc ford have same issue with brake line rusting thru I am a mechanic this is serious safety issue.
While traveling at about 25 MPH a light application of the brake was followed by the brake pedal going completely to the floor. An investigation revealed a ruptured brake line in the area of the brake control valve. After being towed to the dealer I was advised that all the brake lines were severely corroded and needed to be replaced. I bought the truck new and was very concerned to find that my brake lines had failed with only 82,800 miles on the truck and only 6 years old. Brake lines should last the life of the vehicle. This was a serious life threatening failure.
Coming home from car wash brake pedal felt spongy.pulling into driveway the pedal went to the floor. Looked under truck and saw puddle of brake fluid on ground by left rear wheel. Brake line going to rear brakes had ruptured from major rust. Upon further inspection I found brake and fuel lines suffer from major rust and will need to be replaced asap.
Driving at 30 miles an hour brakes failed due to rusted rear brake line. Chevrolet dealer (palm chevrolet of punta gorda florida) said this was normal wear & tear and that all the brake lines needed replaced due to rust. They charged $343. For just 1 brake line. They would not honor a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty that I purchased with the vehicle for $1,200. Truck is only 5 years old with 39700 miles on it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, the ABS light illuminated on the dashboard. The contact noticed that the brakes and rotors were wearing excessively due to a defective hub senor that controlled the braking system. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer to have the hub sensor and brake bearing replaced three times. None of the repairs remedied the issue with the braking system. The contact called the manufacturer regarding the federal safety agency campaign I.d. 07e106000 (wheels:cap/cover/hub). The manufacturer advised that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 88,000.
The front wheel hubs and bearings, including wheel speed sensors, are failing on these pickups. This is, apparently, a known issue and gm refuses to do anything about it. Why not? This is a blatant safety issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet k1500. The contact stated that the ABS would fail intermittently with the illumination of the warning light. The contact disconnected the ABS wire so that the warning light would no longer illuminate. The manufacturer was not contacted and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 76,000.
Abs sensor reads incorrectly and triggers the ABS system to kick in every time the brakes are used, causing the brake pedal to rumble and giving the sensation of brake failure when the pedal goes soft under your foot. This is worse when turning left. Extra distance is required for braking at all times. Abs warning light comes on at random times for no apparent reason.
My 2007 silverado has the same brake problem that was a recall on older model silverado's. The federal safety agency campaign number for the previous recall was 05v379000. It appears the canadian transportation board ordered a recall for the 2007 models but the federal safety agency has not. Is this something being looked into?

Started hearing noises from the brakes, took to shop, and was told it was not under warranty even though there are only 30,000 miles on it. They had to turn the rotors. Also tires are falling apart. Another issues is with the 4 wheel drive it doesn't engage properly.
