Description of the problem | While driving, i hit the brakes and the peddle went to the floor. Narrowly missing 2 cars in front of me. Upon review after towing home, all 4 front brake lines have considerable "flaking corrosion", with one blown line and one line seeping. I used the e-brake to get off the road as it had absolutely no brakes whatsoever. Rear brake lines are rusted as well. Got ahold of gm dealer and was quoted $1100 time and material to "fix". I chose to fix myself with stainless steel line. This is the last gm product i will ever own. |
