What owners wrote
Wet surface. Two similar wrecks in two different chevy pickups. One a 1994 and the other in a 2000 GMC. Trying to stop, standing on the brakes, while both of these vehicles accelerated into the rear of the vehicle in front of me. Following the last incident, I went straight to a large empty parking lot and duplicated the acceleration while standing on brakes.
Brake line failure due to corroded brake lines on a 2000 GMC sierra 2500 pick -up truck, luckily it happened pulling out of the drive way and not on the highway, see that there are hundreds of complaints about the same problem, something needs to be done before someone gets killed ! If not so already !
