2005 GMC Sierra 1500 Brakes Problems

“I drove up to a stop light and pushed the brakes as usual. A brake line burst and I coasted thru the stop light. I used my emergency brake to stop. I think all brake lines should be made from stainless steel up here in wisconsin. This definitely is a safety issue.”

“Brakes failed in my driveway. Brake pedal went to the floor with almost no resistance. Fortunately I didn't hit anything. I inspected brake master cylinder & found all fluid had leaked out, area under it was wet with fluid, also, the brake lines under the cylinder looked very rusted.”

“When pulling in my driveway the brake lights came on and the brake pedal went clear to the floor. Upon investigating I found the brake lines to be severely corroded. I was fortunate not to be driving at a faster rate of speed on the open road. That same week the steering had become very difficult to turn like it was low on fluid, which it was not. I have also had to have both front wheel bearings replaced along with the computer at 400 miles.”

“When backing out of a long driveway, the brake pedal suddenly dropped to the floor and brakes did not slow, stop or engage at all. I pumped the brake several times with no response whatsoever and was only able to stop by pulling onto the grass while applying the emergency brake. I found one brake line on the front driver side had rusted through, but none of the others had a leak and the brake fluid was still full. With only one brake line damaged I lost all braking power.”

“Car in front of me locked up his brakes for a ambulance entering the intersection .good thing had enough distance to stop as when I tried too the pedal went to the floor.kept pumping and managed to stop.glad I wasn't going any faster and had time to react.”
