“Brake lines failed on my 2007 Gmc 1500 and my 2007 Gmc 2500. It appears to be a common problem with Gmc vehicles from 2003 to 2009. Why wasn't these vehicles recalled for this. I was told that Gmc was offering a discounted price for failed brake lines, but the dealer charged me full price. $1,667.00. The discounted price was supposed to be $500.00.”
NHTSA complaint #11025151, filed 2017-09, 100,000 miles“I lost my brakes while driving. The brake pedal went to floor. Took it to Gmc dealer where purchased and was told it was corroded brake lines which had to be replaced.$1300 total cost. No brake warning light ever appeared!!! No other rust/corrosion was visible on truck body except for brake lines. Was told this was an issue of all Gmc/chev. Trucks from that time span.”
NHTSA complaint #10984821, filed 2017-05, 90,100 miles“Rusted out brake line at 72000 miles. What a disappointment but it doesn't look like I am the only one. Its a shame GM doesn't man up and correct the problem of rusted out brake lines. Luckily I was in front of my house when it failed and not running down the road pulling my 4000 lb. Boat. And yes I have read all the info online about the nhtsb investigating this problem and let GM off the hook by saying owners should wash their cars to remove the road salt that caused this problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10823334, filed 2016-01, 72,000 miles“I went to a local recycle business to drop off some cans. Upon entering the building at about 10 MPH, this guy motion me to stop and walked in front of the truck. I hit the brakes and the peddle almost went to the floor, but did stop. Just missing the guy that walked in front of me. Realizing that a brake line broke and that the dealership wasn't far away, I drove really slow to get there. I left it over the weekend. Monday they found that the brake line that runs from front to rear rusted and burst. $ 463. Later I took the truck home. …”
NHTSA complaint #10703998, filed 2015-04, 62,056 miles“While driving the vehicle at a rate of 20 MPH and started stopping and notice the brakes where going out. I had then lost brake pressure altogether. Used the parking brake to get stopped after putting the vehicle into neutral. I had the truck towed to my local independent mechanic and he checked the vehicle and found all the brake lines to be rusted out, and had lost all brake fluid. Upon finding this he found the majority of the undercarriage to have severe rust damage an several parts also.”
