Consumer Description

WHILE APPROACHING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I DROVE MY VEHICLE SLOWLY HOME AND CHECKED BRAKE FLUID LEVEL. IT WAS LOW AND I TOPPED IT OFF. I TRIED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND ONCE AGAIN THE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. I WENT UNDER THE VEHICLE AND BRAKE FLUID WAS DRIPPING OFF THE CROSS MEMBER JUST BEHIND THE ENGINE. I COULD SEE THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE VERY RUSTY. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO BIG O TIRES. AFTER INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND ALL THE OTHERS WERE IN VERY BAD SHAPE AND I HAD ALL THE LINES REPLACED. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND GM HAS REDESIGNED THE LINES BUT, REFUSED TO RECALL AND REPLACE THE LINES. YOU NEED TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM FURTHER AND INSIST ON A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND AS INDICATED BY THE MILEAGE THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEN THAT MUCH AND VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF.
