After getting cut off and having to make a panic stop the brake lines in my truck burst causing the pedal to go to the ground and offer no braking power. I then tried the emergency brake which also didn't work due to the burst lines. I was finally able to steer into the shoulder of the road and put the transmission into a lower gear to slow down before putting it into park at 25 MPH and skidding to a stop. After getting home and doing research and learned of your investigation. Something needs to be done as I almost died.

Loss of brake fluid and pressure due to defective/ damaged brake system line (23 days after gm dealership-malouf gm in north brunswick, nj informed me (when I took my truck in for an unrelated problem- odi # 10293760), that there is no open recall). My preliminary research revealed a bulletin which notes a recall; # 71182. Indication is that some of these vehicles have a clearance condition between the front right-hand brake pipe and the body cross sill that could decrease to the point of allowing contact during the life of the vehicle. If contact occurs and the brake pipe becomes damaged, in half of the brake system, there can be loss of brake fluid and pressure. I was lucky that this condition occurred while I was backing out of my driveway at very slow speed. There is brake fluid spillage in my engine compartment and driveway.

Unwanted antilock brake system (ABS) activation which results in increased stopping distance during low speed brake application. The first experience almost resulted in rear-end crash into a vehicle ahead. I took the truck to a gm dealership (malouf gm) on 11/06/09 and was told that there is no open recall (they reportedly fixed the problem on 11/01/2001). For them to check if my complaint is relative to the earlier recall, there would be a cost to me out of pocket. This problem persists and occurs intermittently.
