AS I WAS TOPPING THE CURVE OF AN ENTRANCE RAMP, I FELT THE REAR OF THE TRUCK LOSE TRACTION ON THE WET ASPHALT AND THE TAIL STARTED TO MOVE. I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL TO GAIN CONTROL, AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO PROPEL THE TRUCK AS IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK. THIS CAUSED THE REAR OF THE TRUCK TO CONTINUE AROUND AND SLAMMED THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK INTO A GUARD RAIL AND FINALLY CAME TO A STOP WITH TRUCK PARALLEL TO GUARD RAIL AND FACING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF TRAFFIC. I WAS HOLDING THE BRAKES AS SOON AS I REALIZED THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF CONTROL. IF NOT FOR THE GUARD RAIL, MY FAMILY AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN PROPELLED OVER A STEEP EMBANKMENT WITH FATAL RESULTS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HAD THIS OCCUR ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2001. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

A BRAKE LINE BURST DUE TO RUST AND CORROSION, ALMOST RESULTING IN A REAR END CRASH. I HAD TO TAKE THE TRUCK INTO THE BERM TO AVOID THE CRASH. AFTER INSPECTION ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED AND RUSTY AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALSO FOUND THAT THE FUEL LINES WERE ALSO RUSTED, CORRODED AND LEAKING. THEY ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I LIVE IN CONNECTICUT AND I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY SILVERADO K1500 EXT CAB 5.3L TRUCK WITH 198000+ MILES ON IT. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN GARAGED JUST ABOUT ITS WHOLE LIFE SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. LAST WEEK MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK TO THE STORE. WHILE COMING TO A STOP SIGN JUST DOWN THE STREET THE BRAKES FAILED. FORTUNATELY SHE WAS COMING TO A STOP AND WASN'T GOING FAST WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF HER. SHE WALKED BACK TO THE HOUSE AND I WENT DOWN TO FIND THAT A BRAKE LINE HAD BUSTED BEHIND THE DRIVERS WHEEL ON THE FRAME RAIL BEFORE IT GOES OVER THE FRAME TO THE ABS MODULE. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE AND PUT IN THE GARAGE TO INSPECT IT. I AM AMAZED ON HOW MUCH THAT ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED. SOME AREAS OF THE LINE WHEN I TOUCHED IT JUST FELL APART IN MY HANDS. I HAVE BEEN HEARING THAT JUST ABOUT EVERYONE I KNOW WHO OWNS 1999-2003 CHEVY TRUCKS ARE HAVING BRAKE LINE FAILING DUE TO CHEAP STEEL RUSTED LINES. WHILE I WAS UNDER THE TRUCK I ALSO NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE CROSS MEMBERS THAT SUPPORT THE RIGHT REAR SHOCK PLUS THE GAS TANK IS SUPPORTED OFF OF IS RUSTED WITH ONLY HALF A TUBE LEFT. PLUS JUST ABOUT ALL OF MY GAS LINES HAVE SERIOUS RUST ON THEM. MY OTHER ISSUE IS THAT THE ROCKER PANELS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAB ARE RUSTED THREW TO A POINT THAT YOU CAN STICK YOUR HAND IN THEM. WHEN IS CHEVY GOING TO GET OFF THEIR BUTT AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THE BRAKE LINES, FUEL LINES & CROSS MEMBER CORROSION ARE SAFETY ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE DEALT WITH BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT OR WORST KILLED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
RUSTED STEEL BRAKE LINE BURST LEAKING BRAKE FLUID AND LOSS OF BRAKES. FORTUNATELY(?) THIS OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS PARKED AS BRAKE WAS APPLIED TO SHIFT TRANSMISSION OUT OF "PARK" . IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR COLLISION. UPON INSPECTION, ALL OF THE STEEL BRAKE LINES ARE BADLY CORRODED, AND NEED TO BE REPLACED TO SAFELY OPERATE THE VEHICLE. 3 YEARS AGO, I HAD TO REPLACE CORRODED ROTORS DUE TO CORROSION AS WELL. FROM WHAT I HAVE LEARNED, THIS IS AN EPIDEMIC FOR GM TRUCKS OF THIS ERA. IS GM LIABLE FOR THESE COSTLY REPAIRS?

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I TOOK MY 1500 CHEVY PICK-UP TO A GM DEALER IN RI,( HURD GMC) AFTER I SMELLED GASOLINE WHEN DRIVING, THE SERVICE DEPT INFORMED ME THAT THE FUEL LINE IS ROTTED (AT OR NEAR THE FUEL FILTER)AND LEAKING GASOLINE NEAR THE EXHAUST, THEY TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK, FOR FEAR OF A FIRE. THEY ALSO NOTED THAT THE BRAKE LINES THE RUN DOWN THE DRIVERS SIDE FRAME RAIL ARE ALSO ROTTED . I HAVE REPAIRED OTHER BRAKE LINES IN THE FRONT,LAST YEAR, BECAUSE OF LEAKING BRAKE FLUID, THE GM DEALER QUOTED ME A PRICE OF AROUND $2000.00 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL LINE FROM THE TANK TO THE INJECTORS. WHICH INCLUDED REPLACEMENT OF ALL ROTTED BRAKE LINES. I HAVE PARKED THE TRUCK FOR FEAR OF A FIRE, OR POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKES. THE TRUCK IS NOT A RUSTED MESS UNDERNEATH, I TOOK CARE NOT TO DRIVE ON SALTY ROADS, THESE LINES ARE MADE OF RAW STEEL, I BELIEVE IF THEY WERE STAINLESS STEEL, I WOULD NOT BE IN THIS MESS. WHAT DOES ONE DO WITH A PERFECTLY GOOD TRUCK, BUT CAN'T DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF FIRE OR CRASH ???

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
NOTICED FUEL TANK STRAP HANGING FROM UNDERNEATH VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION OF FUEL TANK STRAP NOTICED THAT THE STRAP HAD RUSTED & SEPARATED ABOUT FOUR INCHES FROM THE BOLT MOUNTING LOCATION. FUEL TANK DID NOT FALL TO THE GROUND BUT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE IF I KEPT DRIVING IT. NOTICED THAT GM USES A RUBBERIZED COATING ON THE STRAP. WATER & MOISTURE WERE ABLE TO MIGRATE INTO THE TOP AREA OF THE COATING AND SIT BETWEEN THE RUBBER COATING AND THE STRAP & NOT HAVE ANY EXIT POINT. THIS CAUSED A MOIST ENVIRONMENT AND OVER TIME ACCELERATED RUST/CORROSION BETWEEN THE RUBBER COATING & THE STEEL STRAP. POOR DESIGN & SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE (CAN'T COPY INTO THIS FORM). MULTIPLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOUND ON THE INTERNET.
