What owners wrote
Driving at 35 MPH when the brakes suddenly stopped working with no indication preceding incident. Vehicle made contact with curb before coming to a complete stop. Discovered rear brake lines had completely corroded through and vehicle was losing fluid. Apparently this is a known problem that GM refuses to fix.
Excessive rust build up on brake lines, rotors and calipers. Rotors & pads previously replaced in sept., 2008. Needed replacement again in oct., 2012 after only driving 16,000 miles. Brake lines are severely corroded and are in need of replacement. Control arm linkage attached to height sensor actuator also broke at about the same time.
