Consumer Description

2007 GMC SIERRA CLASSIC WITH APPROXIMATELY 54,000 MILES WAS BEING DRIVEN INTO A GARAGE TO HAVE WHEELS BALANCED. AS THE TECHNICIAN APPLIED THE BRAKES ENTERING THE GARAGE, THE BRAKE LINES ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE RUPTURED AND THE BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR. BRAKE FLUID POURED OUT ONTO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES BECAME COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED A FEW HOURS EARLIER IN THE DAY AS I WAS TRAVELING ON STEEP MOUNTAIN HIGHWAYS IN WEST VIRGINIA I HAVE NO DOUBT AN ACCIDENT AND PROBABLE FATALITY WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. ALL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN PERFORMED AT THE GM DEALER WHERE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED AND NO WARNINGS FROM GM WERE GIVEN THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE SHOWING ANY SIGNS OF WEAR OR THAT A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN. *TR
