Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
I WENT OUT TO MOVE THE TRUCK AND NOTICED THERE WAS FLUID ON THE DRIVEWAY. I EXAMINED THE REAR DRIVER SIDE AND THERE WAS A BRAKE LINE THAT HAD RUSTED THROUGH. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE WITH THOSE TRUCKS. I HAD RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS TO GM ABOUT THIS ISSUE. FORTUNATELY, THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND DID NOT FAIL WHILE DRIVING MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. WHAT I HAVE READ IS THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE MANUFACTURED WITH POOR QUALITY MATERIALS AND THAT THEY FAIL.
