So the hydraboost is failing and my truck is pouring an insane amount of power steering fluid from hydraboost system. When researching this problem for my year make and model the hydraboost recall pops up but when calling Chevrolet they want to do nothing. When its apparent my truck is affected by trash parts. It only has 149000 miles on it and the hydraboost system is gone. I'm tired of adding 2 quarts of power steering fluid a week, and cant even drive my family around because I waiting on brakes to sporadically fail due to the system being compromised.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500. While driving approximately 35 mph, a screeching noise emerged from the front driver's side of the vehicle. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and shut off the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to wilson county motors Chevrolet in lebanon, Tennessee (615-257-0578) where it was diagnosed that the front driver's side wheel hub failed and needed replacement along with the rotors and brake pads. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 178,000.

Metal brake line corroded through while driving causing almost total loss of brakes.

- Bedford, IN, USA

Brake failure - loss of pressure/fluid. Brake lines from master cylinder to ABS distribution block corroded and ruptured. Luckily, failure occurred just after returning home, maneuvering in the driveway. I have contacted GM to open a case and seek diagnosis/repair. Vehicle is in tn; not a high snow/corrosion area.

I was driving to work 12/17/16, 5:40am. I was traveling to work and I lost all pressure in my pedal. Which led me to nearly hit a telephone pole. The master cylinder and a flex brake line going from the master cylinder to the brake booster(module) were replaced. But this did not fix the problem. I have bench bled the master cylinder, and all brake lines around the truck. I still have no brakes unless you push them to the floor. I have done some research, and found were other people with the same model and year truck have had the same problem. After reading all those blogs and post, I discovered that the model and year of Avalanche that I have was recalled for the ABS system for failure.

Catastrophic brake failure because of four corroded brake lines. All four lines corroded in the bracket holding the lines to the driver side frame rail. I was driving the vehicle and when I attempted to apply the brakes there was initial resistance and then the brake pedal went straight to the floor. I attempted to apply the brakes again but the vehicle would not stop. I had to apply the parking brake to stop.

Brakes failed under hard stop (highway, in motion). Intermediate steel brake line failed to rear brakes in a mode of rupture due to corrosion. ABS light had been on with service brake message as well. All other steel lines were corroded and contacted GM. 2 other Silverado line vehicles owned also failed this year due to corrosion. GM response was that no recall existed. Replaced all steel brake lines in vehicle with stainless aftermarket lines. After multiple contacts with GM customer service, I was told to save my receipts for repairs. This is an incorrect material specification, latent defect and GM needs to be held accountable. 3 vehicles that I own with the same repair in 8 months. Inexcusable!

The blower stopped working on my auto temp control and now won't shut off.

Front brake line rusted through spewing brake fluid.

- Cincinnati, OH, USA

I was slowing down for a stop light. An animal ran in front of me. I stepped hard on the brakes. The brake pedal went to the floor. No prior problems. I had the truck towed to an independent mechanic. The mechanic found the right front steel brake line ruptured. Upon further testing, the left front steel brake line also ruptured. Both lines were rusty. The lines did not appear to be coated. New brake lines from Napa had a coating. When the front brakes failed to function, the rear brakes did very little to stop the vehicle. Inspection and replacement of brake lines is not a routine maintenance item.

- Sutherland, VA, USA

The braking system failed due to brake line corrosion. Although the vehicle is 8 years old, it is very well maintained and only has 14973 original miles. All of the brake lines on the vehicle need to be replaced due to severe corrosion. GM refuses to acknowledge a design flaw and refuses to offer any assistance in replacing the brake lines.

Stepped on the brakes to stop for a stop sign at a major intersection and my brake pedal was good a first then completely sunk to the floor. The truck stopped in the middle of the intersection that was thankfully void of traffic. My wife and I were a bit shook up. It could easily been worse. We carefully traveled to the nearest service station and were lucky to get flatbedded to a local Chevrolet dealer. Memorial day 4pm in Georgia, I did not have high hopes. The service people examined the truck and it was apparent that my truck had catastrophic failure of the brake lines. I thought it was a master cylinder due to the complete loss of fluid. While we waited for tow truck I purchased brake fluid and filled my completely empty reservoir, had my wife step on the brake as I watched the fluid just pour out from the front drivers side area near the frame.
