I have a 2000 chevy silverado 1500 lt, which i purchased from my son on oct 17, 2009. Prior to that my son experienced the right front bake line burst in june of 2009, which he had replaced. I had the brake lines checked at the chevy dealer who advised me to replace all the lines. Chevy does not offer pre-made brake lines, meaning they have to be made up individually, at a huge expense. According to office of…

I own a 2000 chevy silverado with brakes that are soft. This condition has been since "day one" and i consider the vehicle dangerous to bring to a stop. I trailer a 3000lb boat, and even though the boat's trailer has brakes, it's almost impossible to make an emergency stop. The truck is maintained properly, and is considered in excellent condition by all who sees and or rides in it. I've had the brake system…

I did the recall for my brakes on chevy silverado 2000 but still the brake line was cut by the rim i think this is not safe to have 16 inch rims on. It is better to upgrade to 17 inc rim i talked to gmc but they said the recall fixed the line, but it is still too close to the rim. In the event if the vehicle hits a pot hole the rim then it will cut the brake line and fail. *tr

Brakes failed while stopping at an intersection. Fortunately, there were no vehicles in front me or coming through the intersection. Cause of brake failure was a corroded brake line. While the gas lines are stainless steel, the brake lines are not. This seems to be a design flaw. *tr
