While operating the vehicle on a highway I pressed the brake pedal and suddenly the brake pedal sunk and I lost brakes. I nearly lost control of the vehicle and almost drove into a guard rail. After further inspection I observe the front drivers side brake was corroded causing it to break. This appears to be an issue with gmc and the company should be required to rectify the situation. Using stainless would prevent incidents like these and possible injuries or deaths.
