Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
I WAS DRIVING IN A 40 MPH STREET WHEN I NOTICED THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL WAS ABOUT TO TURN RED WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WHEN DOWN TO THE FLOOR I LOST ALL BRAKES I SLOWED DOWN BY DOWN SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION AND APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. WHEN I PULLED OVER THERE WAS BRAKE FLUID LEAKING ALL OVER UNDER DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. UPON INSPECTION I NOTICED THE BRAKE LINES RUSTED OUT AND LOST ALL FLUID. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED THERE WAS NO WARNING. I NEEDED TO HAVE MY BRAKE LINES REPLACED I BELIEVE THIS IS A START OF SOMETHING BAD IF GM DOESN'T ACT ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR
