NHTSA Complaint #10588731 — 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500

I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION ON NJ STATE ROUTE 10 WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED YELLOW. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDDLE WENT TO ABOUT ONE TO TWO INCHES OFF THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK COULD NOT STOP, AND WENT THOUGH THE LIGHT AS IS TURNED RED. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND STOP. I FOUND FLUID LEAKING UNDER THE TRUCK AND COULD SEE IT WAS FROM A FAILED BRAKE LINE. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND A MECHANIC. I FOUND OUT THAT THE BRAKE LINE WERE ALL RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ROTORS, CALIPERS, BRAKE PADS, E BRAKE CABLE AND SHOCKS WHERE REPLACED. *TR
