Description of the problem	I just got home after driving 100 miles on the parkway, and i was just getting ready to pick up my fiancé kids from school when i started my truck and applied the service brake to shift into drive and then the brake pedal went to the floor. I got out of the truck and saw brake fluid leaking behind the drivers side wheel. I crawled under to take a look and the leak appeared to be where the plastic bracket was holding the brake lines to the frame. The brake lines appear to be severely rusted and brittle and just by touching them the rust flakes off. Thank god this happened at home and no one got hurt or killed. I live on a mountain and the road down it is a 25% incline. Something needs to be done about this before something fatal or serious happens. If you have a brake problem similar to this please file a complaint so this gets recalled. I don't understand why so many people complained about this same problem and nothing is being done. Is gm this powerful and will not fess up to this even though this could be fatal?? Please join me and speak up...
