Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
WITHOUT ANY WARNING, MY BRAKE LINES FAILED AND I COULD NOT STOP MY TRUCK. I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST AND IT WOULD SEEM REASONABLE FOR BRAKE LINES TO RUST OUT. HOWEVER, MY TRUCK IS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS KEEPING IT WASHED, INCLUDING THE UNDERCARRIAGE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A BRAKE LINE FAIL ON ANOTHER CAR AND I HAVE DRIVEN SOME REALLY OLD VEHICLES. I HAVE ALSO NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE I KNOW HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS BECAUSE IT IS A SPECIFIC PROBLEM WITH GMC SIERRA AND CHEVY SILVERADO.
