NHTSA Complaint #10402905 — 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500

I WAS UNLOADING MULCH FROM THE BED OF TRUCK ONTO THE FLOWER BEDS IN MY YARD. WHEN I GOT BACK INTO THE TRUCK TO MOVE TO A NEW SPOT EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL I WENT TO STOP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK WAS ONLY AT AN IDLE BUT THE BRAKE WOULDN'T EVEN SLOW IT DOWN TO A WALKING SPEED. THE PARKING BRAKE WORKED FINE AND THE TRUCK CAME TO A STOP. I PUT THE REST OF THE MULCHING JOB ON HOLD UNTIL THE NEXT DAY UNTIL I COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED AND HOW TO DEAL WITH IT. THE NEXT DAY I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND ADDED ALMOST A QUART. WHEN I WENT TO MOVE THE TRUCK THE BRAKE STILL WENT TO THE FLOOR BUT I WAS READY FOR THAT AND GOT THE TRUCK OFF OF THE GRASS AND BACK OUT ONTO THE DRIVEWAY. THAT WAS WHEN I SAW JUST HOW BAD IT WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID AND THE TRUCK IS STILL HERE AT MY HOUSE. I GUESS I WILL HAVE IT TOWED SOMEWHERE TO HAVE THE BRAKE LINE THAT RUNS DOWN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TRUCK TO THE REAR WHEELS REPLACED. *TR
