| Description of the problem | Brake pedal completely depressed and all brake fluid spilled out on driveway. I looked under vehicle and all brake line were visible highly corroded. I've been maintaining vehicles for 50 years and have never seen a failure like this. The brake lines had the appearance of cars 30 years old but were heavily pitted and corroded. I don't want to hear a gm excuse of road salt wear and tear ! This is inexcusable! |
