1998 Chevrolet sk pickup truck. When going at low speeds the brakes failed. Took vehicle to local mechanic, and had brake line replaced. Also replaced, the front rotors and the pads. The problem started after the work was done. Called General Motors. Took down the information and made a file claim number. Just about every time the vehicle was going below 10 mph the brakes failed.

When applying the brakes the pedal has to go to the floor just to stop. The brakes also make a squeaking noise even when they aren't applied. Dealer says he needs new brake pads.
