What owners wrote
While driving at 35 MPH another vehicle pulled out in front of the consumer's vehicle. Consumer applied the brakes and the ABS system locked up, causing the consumer to hit the other vehicle. Upon impact, driver's side air bag didn't deploy, and the steering wheel was bent.
While driving on local road brakes failed, had to downshift and use emergency brake to stop truck. I found out after investigating, that the brake lines had rusted so badly that the hydraulic pressure blew out the brakeline to the front driverside wheel. Turns out that this is a common problem on chevy trucks and there has not been a recall yet !!! Does someone have to get hurt or die before this design flaw gets recalled?
