Description of the problem	This is 3rd time my brakes blow a line in 2 years and the first 2 times one time i was holding my brakes while backing up a hill on my property with a trailer attached, the second coming to a stop sign and this last time going down a steep hill coming to an intersection. I just changed the line that was broken the first two times. I had filed a complaint with you last year but i cannot find the info. This time i changed all of the lines as it scared me bad this time as i live in the mountains and did not wish to push my luck any further. Chevrolet wanted over $1,200 to change them out using the same materials that failed in the first place. I had them changed at napa for $680 using copper/nickel which is a superior product. Gm's excuse for the lines rusting out was the customer did not wash the lines off when salt got on them. You cannot get to most of the lines to wash them off. The amount of brake line failures is overwhelming and to say the least dangerous as hell. I am sending some photos of some of the lines and will mail pieces of the line to you if it will do any good. Please let me know if i should send the pieces of line. Thanks [xxx] ps: it seems that i can only send one photo please let me know how to send more... (
