Consumer Description

BRAKE LINE FAILURE DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION OF THE LINE. AFTER REPLACING THE LINE MYSELF, I PERFORMED A TEST RUN AND YET ANOTHER LINE FAILED DUE TO THE CORROSION PROBLEM. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY GENERAL MOTORS IN CANADA, BUT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED IN THE US. I FEEL THAT TEN YEARS AND ONLY 84,000 MILES IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE TIMEFRAME/MILEAGE TO BE EXPERIENCING BRAKE LINE CORROSION FAILURE IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA. IN FACT THE ENTIRE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE IS CORRODED FAR WORSE THAN MY 2000 HONDA CIVIC WHICH HAS 175,000 MILES ON IT. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD BE FORCED TO ADDRESS THE CORROSION ISSUES WITH THE SIERRA PICKUP LINE IN THE US. *TR
