Driving home last night when I approached the driveway, the brake pedal went to the floor. Brake fluid was running down the gas tank. Further inspection this morning indicated the line had burst just above the tank from corrosion. All steel lines are rusted and need to be replaced. Also the frame is rusting so bad it looks like the pictures of the titanic.

I bought this truck in Ohio for my wife [xxx], she reported that the ABS brake would simply not work on accasion and the pedal would go straight to the floor.we took the vehicle in to the dealer but he could not find the problem. At lows speeds I was able to reproduce the problem. Dealers down here say the sensor is bad. We pulled the fuse to disable the brakes when the vehicle was new because a delphi engineer told me that would at least keep the brakes working. I have 58000 miles on my truck and we have replaced the calipers the rotors and even some of the brake lines have rusted rupturing and causing a loss of brakes. The power steering hose line rusted at the cooler radiator.. yesterday the Chevy dealer in gainseville called me to the shop to see how the frame is being eaten away, I believe the vehicle either wasn't proberly prepared when built or the protective paints and coating were deffective. The records at jim douglas chevolet evidence the expenses we have incuured to keep the truck operational. The ABS module and the loss of break lines seem to relflect extemely poor metal coorosion resistance, even both my tailgate cable rusted and broke.each time I have taken in to the Chevy dealer for repair they are amazed at the corrosion problems. Even the tire jack in the passenger compartment was rusted and it was never used. The screws inside the center console were rusted. I spent between $2500 and $3000 in just the brake problem and that is without trying to fix the defective sensor module. I assure absent a forced recall I suspect GM will not fix this problem. GM conumer relatios suggested I get a recall number and maybe they could be of further assistance. Thus I am send you my complaint. Sincerely [xxx]. our VIN is [xxx] our model is CK15753 the car was assembled at fort wayne. June 6,1999. Note I selected 25 failures as an estimated of failed componets in the unrecarrage including the brakes and the ABS module. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA),
