Consumer Description

I OWN A 2001 2500HD CHEVY SILVERADO AND LAST MONTH I HAD THE LEFT REAR STEEL BRAKE LINE RUPTURE AND AS A RESULT I LOST ALL BRAKING POWER. NEITHER THE BRAKE LIGHT COME ON AND THE PROPORTIONING VALVE DID NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY DURING THIS MALFUNCTION SINCE FRONT BRAKES LOST ALL POWER. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE ROAD WAS CLEAR, TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS AROUND. THE PARKING BRAKE WORKED MARGINALLY SINCE I WAS CARRYING A LOAD OF WET SOIL HOME. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFEAT WITH THIS GM TRUCK. THE VERY NEXT DAY I HAD THAT REAR LEFT BRAKE LINE REPLACED AND THE GARAGE TECHNICIAN SAID ALL THE REMAINING BRAKE LINES ARE IN A SIMILAR STATE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB
