“Brake lines went out with no warning - no light showing compression or fluid leaking. Still no lights have come on. If we had been going faster, we could have hit something.

We feel that GM used cheap metal for these lines and could have compromised our lives.”

I got up the next morning to go to work and cranked the truck and no gauges or lights were not working still. I slammed my hand down on top of the dashboard and everything came on and was working but that didn't last long and everything shut off again.”

Placing the transmission in neutral stopped vehicle movement.
