Description of the problem	Brake line blew while driving my 2005 z71 chevy tahoe. Had no clue until i tried to stop and my pedal went all the way to the floor not stopping my truck and i ran a red light. Thank-god i hit no other car or person! There was no warning - no lights - nothing indicating this was going to happen, not even a little drip of brake fluid before the burst line. I take my truck in for it's free oil changes every 5000 miles. Dealership tells me every time all the things that need repair or will need attention soon. After getting under my truck and looking at my brake lines, i was so scared! Holly crap they are nothing but rust. This didn't happen over night. Why does the dealership tell me i need new windshield wipers or belts - (3 years later i still have the same belts and they are still fine) but neglect to tell me my brake lines are severely rusted and could blow at anytime resulting in brake loss! That should be discussed with me before my windshield wipers!!!!! The mechanic at the dealership had to know my brakes lines were this bad - why was nothing said??? Now looking online i see i am not the first person this has happened to nor will i be the last. I cannot believe that gm considers this to be normal wear and tear. It's dangerous and could kill someone. Gm is not concerned about our safety - it's about the money for gm. Settlements are cheaper than a total recall - that's until deaths do occur and i bet my life on it a death will happen because of these bad brakes lines.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
