| Description of the problem | After attending my nephew's high school basket ball game, my daughter and i returned to the tahoe in the school parking lot. I started the vehicle and put the transmission into drive and started to roll when the brake pedal went to the floor. I engaged the emergency brake to stop and thankfully stopped the tahoe before hitting anyone or any other vehicle in the lot. Looking at the owners manual and the dash lights, i realized the vehicle needed to be towed. The mechanic informed me the brake line running along the frame rail to the rear was corroded and needed replacing. After completing this task and while bleeding the system a front line went for the same reason, corrosion. I had all lines (front & back) replaced at a cost of over $800. Talking with the mechanic, it appears to be a common occurrence in the tahoe, silverado and similar gm vehicles. |
