| Description of the problem | Applied brakes to stop, and brake pedal went to the floor. The tahoe slowly stopped after pumping the brake pedal, but reluctantly. I had stopped without a problem only seconds before this incident. Cause of the braking problem according to the repair shop was a broken brake line. The repair shop also indicated that all the brake lines need to be replaced due to severe corrosion problems. The mechanic said that this is a common problem with gm vehicles. As an aside, the tow truck driver who picked up the tahoe said that he has seen many vehicles with the same problem. |
