Consumer Description

MY 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500HD WITH 111,000 MILES HAD A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING IN MY DRIVEWAY WHILE MOVING THE TRUCK FROM ONE SPOT TO ANOTHER. UPON INSPECTION OF THE TRUCK THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR AND THE AREA UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS WET WITH BRAKE FLUID. INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE LINES FOUND SEVERE CORROSION ON THE LINES. THERE WAS NO PARTIAL BRAKING EFFORT, BRAKING WENT TO ZERO. I WAS READY TO PICK UP A NEW 7600LB TRAVEL TRAILER THIS WEEK AND WE CAME CLOSE TO A TRAGEDY. LOCAL DEALER IN GETTYSBURG, PA SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL OR "SILENT RECALL".
