I purchase this truck 2/03/17 and have used it until 2 weeks age when the brake lines broke in my driveway, I am having the lines replaced with stainless lines at a cost of about $1200 ( I am not sure of the total cost because it also needs a antilock braking pump which was badly corroded) the fuel lings are also rusted and need to be replaced and also the transmission cooling lines need to be replaced at a cost to be determined later. I have a 1953 Chevy pickup that still has good brake lines and the frame is in better shape than the newer ones, if GM looked to the past at the materials & methods they might build a better product rather than the garbage they produce now! I am glad I didn't pay $30-$60,000 for this truck.

Anti-lock brakes engage on dry pavement just prior to coming to a complete stop.

I have owned many GM trucks, and never had one with so many rusted out brake lines. Why can't they make them with stainless steel lines. They should have a recall for this. What happens when front and back lines go at the same time, I will tell you, no brakes ! this is the worst one with the rust that I have had. 3 lines rust out on the GMC 2500 hd (2002) with more to come, I have 25,000 miles on this truck. The first line went about 15,000 miles. Also I only got about 5,000 miles on those Firestone tires, cheap tires come with this truck. I have also noticed the frame is rusting, had to have the cable replaced that shifts the truck into gear, it rusted out. I go to the car wash and always wash the underside of the truck to get all the dirt and salt off every chance I get. When I got the GMC I was told by the GMC garage not to have the truck undercoated because it would void the warranty on it. I also had to have the cables replaced on the tail gate due to rust. Very sad about this GMC truck. Everything is rusting. I should have a lot of miles left on this truck, if it doesn't rust itself to death or get me killed because of rusted out brake lines !

Driving down rural road at 55mph, a deer jumps into my path. I quickly brake, ABS activates and pedal drops to near floor. Truck does stop, but braking much more different than normal. Deer moves on and I start moving again. Next stop sign I notice that brake pedal drops to floor, still braking, but much more difficult to brake. I made it home and noticed my brake line directly under the driver position was spraying fluid now.

Was leaving my drive way and went to put on brakes and they made a hissing sound and peddle went all the way to the floor and brake fluid started pouring out, so pushed emergency brake and nothing happened there was no brakes. With help got truck back in drive way and got under truck where fluid was leaking and the brake lines were all rusted into. Thank god I didn't make it down the road before they went out and hit or killed someone.

The pedal went all the way to the floor, and I missed the turn I was trying to make. I rolled to a stop. I walked to a service station. I was informed that all brake lines were corroded and had to be replaced. All lines, hoses, and calipers were replaced at a cost of $1800.

First the transmission cooling lines rusted out costing over $400 to repair. Today the brake lines failed because of rust. This will be a very expensive repair. I was fortunate that I was able to avoid crashing the truck when the brakes failed.
