1995 GMC Sierra brakes problems

Filed Nov 14, 2016 · Brakes · 125,000 miles · MO

While towing our 42 foot camper with the 1 ton gmc dually truck we had a sudden loss of truck braking causing us to run thru a red signal light. The brake lines had rusted and burst leaving very little braking from truck. The brakes were inspected by a gm dealer only 6 months ago and were deemed ok after a 1200 dollar repair bill to replace rear brakes. . This is a real safety issue with such a catastrophic loss of braking . This truck is made for towing and should never have the braking ever be compromised. The truck has 125000 miles and should have had a more durable design integrated into the brake lines.there also was an enhanced chance for fire since brake fluid was sprayed on engine when brakes failed.

Dt: the consumer states there is massive rust on the rear brake line. This caused the brake line to rupture. Brake fluid was leaking out, causing a problem while trying to brake. The service dealer stated the brake line needed to be replaced. *ak the dealer did not remove the old brake line when they installed a new one.

#1, I spent 1,164.73 to have my anti-lock brakes repaired at a dealer. I found a safety recall of 1.4 million reports of brake failure,with kelsy-have parts ("kcb4"and "ebc4"units).why if I had to spend over $ 1,100.00 to have my truck repaired was I not notified????? #2 my emergency flashers button is jammed and the dealer wants 485.00 to repair. I had the windshield wiper repaired. Why is my emergency equipment failing? And there is no recall notice!!!! #3 my emergency brake cable and handle-both broke. How much is a dealer going to rip me off to repair. #4 I had to repair the cold solder joints on my hot/cold switch so my A/C would run cold. Once again the dealer wanted to replace the whole unit-"rip me off!!" #5 why after almost 100 years cant a car maker build their cars better rather than causing the consumer to keep the parts/service industry booming. If my old man wasn't shot by a ?!@#$% fighter plane I would buy from the ?!@#$%, but I have no choice but to buy american (because I am one)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #6 one last thing when I had my fuel injectors "cleaned" the f/n dealer just pumped almost 60 lbs of air in my tires.(some cleaning)??????

When the pulling was felt a noise would be present. *sc

Intermittently when brakes are applied ABS light illuminates. Vehicle begins to jump, and brakes lock up, resulting in extended stopping distance.
