2007 GMC Sierra Classic Brakes Problems

“Rusty brake lines lost brakes, think that a vehical should go 10 years without brake lines rusting away I was lucky when they broke I was home but just got back from another state and was at highway speeds.”

“While driving the truck on a residential street, the brakes completely failed when I depressed the brake pedal (it went to the floor) and attempted to stop. I lost all normal braking ability and had to stop by down shifting and applying the emergency brakes. When I got the truck stopped and got out, I found that the brake fluid was pouring out onto the ground. A qualified mechanic inspected the truck and found that the brake lines were rusted through and had ruptured. …”

“2007 Gmc Sierra Classic with approximately 54,000 miles was being driven into a garage to have wheels balanced. As the technician applied the brakes entering the garage, the brake lines on the front drivers side of the vehicle ruptured and the brake peddle went to the floor.

The line ruptured in an area where it was severely corroded and upon inspection, the other hard brake lines of the system looked severely corroded also. All will have to be replaced! …”

I get compliments on my truck everywhere I go. I got nowhere with GM corporate or marty's Gmc in kingston,ma where I bought this truck brand new. …”
