What owners report
Brakes lines broke while in traffic at stop light. Manage to drive in low gear 1/2 block to repair shop. They replaced the lines
SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT THE BRAKES FAILED. HOLDING THE BRAKE WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE, THE PEDAL ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I BEGAN MOVING I HAD TO KEEP THE TRUCK BELOW 30 MPH TO ALLOW THE BRAKES TO WORK WITH INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE FACTORED IN. AFTER ABOUT A 5 MILE DRIVE HOME, CHECKED THE BRAKES AND NOTICED A LEAK FROM RUSTED BRAKE LINES NEAR THE DRIVER'S DOOR. TRUCK CANNOT BE SAFELY DRIVEN UNTIL RUSTED LINES ARE REPLACED. NO ABILITY TO MAKE A REGULAR STOP MUCH LESS AN EMERGENCY STOP IN THE PRESENT CONDITION.
2003 2500 AVALANCHE BRAKE LINES HEAVILY RUSTED DEEP PITS BELOW DRIVER SEAT AND ALONG LEFT FRAME RAIL WILL REPLACE. *TR
I HAVE A 2003 TRUCK THAT IS REGULARLY SERVICED AT GM DEALERSHIPS AND ANOTHER PROFESSIONAL SHOP. I ALTERNATE SHOPS TO MAKE SURE I AM GETTING THE BEST SERVICE AND MAKING SURE ANY PROBLEMS ARE CAUGHT BEFORE THEY ARE SERIOUS. I WASH MY TRUCK ON A REGULAR BASIS ALWAYS GETTING THE UNDERBODY/CHASSIS WASHED OFF. SO, THE VEHICLE IS TAKEN CARE OF AND KEPT UP.THE INCIDENT ABOVE LUCKILY HAPPENED WHEN I WAS BACKING UP MY TRUCK TO CONNECT TO A TRAILER. THE BRAKE LINES BURST UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE LEAKING OIL ALL OVER WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED LIGHTLY.. GLAD IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FULLY LOADED DRIVING THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE ON A WEEKDAY. SINCE THERE ARE SEVERAL SCHOOLS AND BUS STOPS NEAR ME. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO
BRAKES SUDDENLY GAVE OUT. PEDAL FELL TO FLOOR AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO BE REPAIRED I WAS TOLD ALL THE BRAKE LINES ROTTED OUT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS BECAUSE BY VEHICLE WAS GARAGE KEPT. MY TOTAL BILL WAS $875.00. *TR
