Complaint Summary

SERVICE BRAKES

Owner Narrative

THE CHASSIS BRAKE LINES ON MY 2001 GMC SIERRA 1500 ARE RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT THEY ARE FALLING APART. I NOTICED LAST WEEK THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FEEL IS STARTING TO GET MUSHY. AFTER INSPECTING THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM I DISCOVERED THAT ALL OF THE HARD CHASSIS BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED AND FLAKING APART. I CAN NO LONGER SAFELY DRIVE THIS TRUCK UNTIL THESE LINES ARE REPLACED. *TR
