Description of the problem	While driving on a highway at 55mph, i pressed on the brake to slow my speed as i was entering a congested area nearing a town. The pedal went to the floor. I geared it down manually with my gearshift and turned off the highway into a self-car wash. After looking under vehicle, i noticed brake fluid all around drivers side rear wheel. After further detailed inspection, the brake line that runs from the master cyl to rear of vehicle to a union mounted on frame that converts solid line to flex hose type had corroded and cracked. Truck was just inspected 6 months prior at dealer. In my 45 years of driving professionally, i have never had a brake line fail for no reason, as it was untouched and secured just as it was when it left factory. Its obvious to me and everyone i talk to that the break line is made of a lower quality steel or not as thick as ones produced in the past by gm. I have heard that thru the grapevine that a certain someone who decides faults in these cases suggested that salt put on the roads in the winter could have caused this if the trucks underside were not washed off after winter driving to remove the corrosive salt. While i would agree to that to some extent, because i am one who does take pride in my $ 32,000 vehicle, i not only power wash the underside several times a winter, but also undercoat it as well. What makes this so dangerous, is that brake fluid that leaks causes major damage to everything it comes in contact with. My fuel tank, wiring, insulation around wire, paint that peels off everything which means frame rust now. The worst and most dangerous of all is that the leaking brake fluid turns pavement made with asphalt into a oil slick on the road that is not noticed by the everyday driver. And there is no stopping whatsoever when you start to slide. I want gm to fix and install the safe and correct ones, stainless steel. Thank you
