Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY SUBURBAN IN TOWN AT LOW SPEED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AS I TRIED TO STOP THE TRUCK. FORTUNATELY IT WAS NOT A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT AFTER A MUCH LONGER THAN USUAL STOPPING DISTANCE. THE TRUCK WAS BROUGHT TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND THE ADVISOR NOTED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE VERY RUSTED AND LEAKING FLUID. ALL THE BREAK LINES HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A SIGNIFICANT COST TO ME. I HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF THIS TRUCK AND THE BRAKE LINES SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST AS THEY DID. CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE TREATED THE STEEL BRAKE LINES OR USED A DIFFERENT METAL TO MAKE THEM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS AND FATAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO IT. *TR
