I STARTED UP MY 1999 CHEVY SUBURBAN IN MY DRIVEWAY THIS AFTERNOON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED BRAKE FLUID SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE AREA BELOW THE MASTER CYLINDER AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. I DISCOVERED THAT THE LINE TO THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL RUSTED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. I CHECKED THE OTHER BRAKE LINES AND THEY ARE BADLY CORRODED. THIS TRUCK HAS NEVER LEFT ME STRANDED IN 13 YEARS. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE IT GO, BUT THIS MAY BE THE END. ALSO, A LITTLE OVER 1 YEAR AGO, I SOLD MY 2005 TAHOE TO A MAN WHO TOLD ME HE HAD A 1999 TAHOE. HE WAS BUYING MY TAHOE BECAUSE THE BRAKES LINES ON HIS HAD CORRODED AND RUPTURED. HE WAS CAREFUL TO CLIMB ALL AROUND AND UNDER MY TAHOE TO CHECK FOR BRAKE LINE CORROSION BEFORE BUYING. I JUST RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM, AND IT APPEARS TO BE COMMON. MANY OF THESE TRUCKS ARE STILL ON THE ROAD. HOW MANY WILL HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT? *TT

JULY 21, 2010 MY 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN'S BRAKES FAILED UNDER NORMAL USAGE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, RESULTING IN EXTREME LOSS OF BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS. IT WAS SAFELY PARKED WITHOUT INJURY OR ACCIDENT. A BRAKE LINE FAILED DRAINING THE BRAKE FLUID. THE REST OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AND WAS IN WORKING ORDER. THE BURST FAILURE OF THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE TUBING WAS DUE TO CORROSION. THE VEHICLE HAS 201,400 MILES, MOSTLY IN THE LOUISVILLE AREA, WHICH IS NOT AN AGGRESSIVE CORROSION ENVIRONMENT. I HAD IT TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALER. AFTER INSPECTION, THE SERVICE MANAGER RECOMMENDED ALL BRAKE LINES BE REPLACED DUE TO CORROSION, NOT JUST THE ONE THAT FAILED. THE TOW AND REPAIR COST $1105. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION AND FAILED PARTS. THIS UNACCEPTABLE SAFETY FAILURE IS DESIGN - MANUFACTURING RELATED AND SHOULD BE RECALLED; THE REPAIR COSTS SHOULD COVERED BY CHEVROLET. THERE IS HIGH POTENTIAL FOR INJURY/ACCIDENTS. I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY COST TO REPAIR THE CORROSION BRAKE LINE FAILURE. *TR
