BRAKE FAILURE - LOSS OF PRESSURE/FLUID. BRAKE LINES FROM MASTER CYLINDER TO ABS DISTRIBUTION BLOCK CORRODED AND RUPTURED. LUCKILY, FAILURE OCCURRED JUST AFTER RETURNING HOME, MANEUVERING IN THE DRIVEWAY. I HAVE CONTACTED GM TO OPEN A CASE AND SEEK DIAGNOSIS/REPAIR. VEHICLE IS IN TN; NOT A HIGH SNOW/CORROSION AREA.

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY AVALANCHE THAT I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE RECENTLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. SOME DAYS IT WORKS FINE AND OTHER DAYS IT DOESN'T WORK OR THE SPEED IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAVE HEARD THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ON PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS AND GM HAS NOT DONE A RECALL. NO ONE CAN TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND I DON'T WANT TO WASTE MONEY TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT AND WILL NOT ADDRESS. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM NEEDS TO RECTIFY ASAP! ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER, REGARDS, MR. ANTHONY TRAPINO *TR
