1999 Chevy Silverado 2500 ext cab long box 2wd pickup with 155,000 klm had two brake lines explode upon applying the brakes. Truck was pulling a full load at the time and an accident could have been major. Luckily the trailer being towed had electric brakes on it. Inspection of the brake lines shows them all very rusty. Should not be occurring. I drive an older astro van and there are no problems with it. GM should be replacing all the brake lines.
The contact stated ABS brakes failed due to faulty left front sensor. When depressing the brake pedal it went to the floor. The consumer stated the frist time the incident occured he had to pay for the repairs. The second time it failed it was replaced under recall. The second problem was the emcm module failed which and caused the ABS motor to run even when the engine was turned off. The passenger side door lock was inoperative. The mechanic found the the door lock rod disconnected. Updated 12/07/05.
