Consumer Description

DRIVING LATE AT NIGHT, ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH NO WARNING A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES AND ALL FLUID. BRAKE LINES RUSTED AND BROKE.. WAS ABLE TO GEAR DOWN TO SLOW AND USE PARKING BRAKE THANKS TO NO TRAFFIC LATE NIGHT. THIS IS NOT NORMAL AS THE LINES ARE NOT VISABLE WITHOUT CRAWLING UNDER VECHICLE WHERE THEY ARE UP IN THE FRAME. ONLY HAD 41,000 MILES ON TRUCK. THE COST FOR REPAIR WAS $600.00 WHICH I BELIEVE SHOULD BE BORNE BY CHEVROLET. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC, IT WOULD DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THEY ARE NOT LOCATED IN A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN BE SEEN EASILY.
