Description of the problem	My wife was driving our 2005 chevy tahoe when she lost the brakes. She said the pedal went to the floor. She was not in any traffic but the car did not stop very quickly. I then drove the car very carefully to our local service station about 2 miles away. The mechanic found that one of our rear bake lines had rusted through causing all hydraulic fluid to be lost. The rear brakes had completely failed. After looking under the vehicle with the mechanic, he showed me all the rust under this car. He also pointed out that the other brake line were also very rusted and could fail. I replaced both rear brake lines with material that will not rust. It was a very labor intensive job and also very costly. Please let other people that own this type of vehicle to check their brake lines. This could have been a very serious situation if my wife had been traveling fast on a highway. The car only has 53k miles and has been garaged for many years. It amazing at how much rust is on this vehicle. I hope gm will use material that does not rust in future automobiles like this!!!
