Brakes failed completely. Fluid leaked from severely corroded brake lines. Luckily, I was on a 25mph rd near home. Barely stopped with full pressure on pedal. I was headed for highway and am very lucky it didn't happen there. GM brake line corrosion is a scandal. 30 years in car business and I never saw this on any other car.

Brake line burst due to corrosion, line from master cylinder to ABS modulator, during panic braking situation while driving in the rain. Vehicle came within inches from rear ending a small car full of people. As a previous owner of a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado, of which I had a similar experience, and subsequently replaced all the brake lines with stainless steel, I have no faith in the NHTSA as a result of the "GM brake line investigation" which in my opinion caved to politics in order not to bankrupt GM. How many lives will be negatively impacted by injuries and death as a result of not having GM address the issue of using garbage materials for hydraulic lines? shame on everyone involved in the decision to chalk this up to salt corrosion. At the time of my 2000 Silverado complaint, GM assured me that this would not happen to my 2008 Cadillac Srx..... silly me for believing them. I beg you to reopen the investigation. This issue is not impacting just pickups.

The brake lines on my 2008 Cadillac have rusted through causing the brakes to fail, and cause other damage to the bottom line of the car.
