Consumer Description

WE JUST PURCHASED A USED 2002 CHEVY SILVERADO ON 9/25, TOOK IT FOR A SAFETY INSPECTION AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD BURST AND BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING. THESE REPAIRS ARE GOING TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE AND I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIRS, SINCE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE LINES ON VEHICLES OF THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL.
