Had spent all winter rigging my new trailer and kayak up to go to a bass fishing tournament. Early in the morning 5 miles from the lake, the car in front of me brakes abruptly to avoid hitting a crossing goose. Going about 50 miles per hour. I pushed on the brakes hard. Then they go all the way to the floor.
I had installed new brake pads and calipers at all four axles last year when I first purchased the truck. It was a rusted brake line. I managed to not hit the person in front of me but had to ditch the truck and trailer at over 50 miles an hour into somebody's front yard destroyed my trailer and kayak. I will never buy another Chevy product again. The last person's comment about stop crying and comparing 1960 vehicles to vehicles being built in 2000 makes absolutely no sense. That's like comparing Model T to 1950s cars or Model T to horse-drawn carriages. They should have used Hickory brakes instead of the Old Pine brakes on the horse-drawn carriages. There are no brake lines reported rusting out the same year of truck with Chrysler or Ford. Chevy cut corners on their brake lines instead of installing stainless steel like the rest of the truck manufacturers.
They obviously do not care about safety or fatalities of their vehicles causing. Kind of explains why Obama had to bail them out and Ford didn't have to get bailed out. I ban Chevy vehicles for life. Hopefully it'll become a generational thing, where my kids and grandchildren also ban Chevy. Don't buy Chevy. Buy Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, Honda, anything but a Chevy.
