During commute to work on 22 april 2014, as i was approaching a stoplight and pressed the brakes to slow down, the main console chimed, showed a message to check brakes, and i was able to press the brake lever to the floor. I was still able to stop prior to reaching the stoplight. I slowly returned home (about a mile) and was able to stop the truck nearby, though the brakes were no longer able to stop the vehicle…

My wife was driving our 2003 chevrolet silverado 4x4 pickup on secondary state route. While descending an approximate 6% grade into a right hand turn at bottom she depressed the brake pedal to slow for the grade and turn and it went to the floor, the service brake message came up in the dic and the door chime sounded. She pulled over as soon as possible as she was shaken from riding out that hill and turn with…

The return line is just all rusted out. Then i noticed all three lines…

Had hooked truck to a car trailer and stepped on brakes to put truck in drive and brake pedal went to floor, there was no brakes at all. Upon examining i found that three brake lines had failed. The truck was towed to a local garage and they found that all brake lines and also the fuel lines were badly rusted and had to be replaced.

Upon further inspection i discovered that a brake line leading from…

Chevy silverado 5.3 l engine. Reduced engine power message is displayed. Vehicle will not run above 20 mph. Must pull over and turn off engine and restart. This is a known problem by gm. Dealer tried twice to repair the problem but could not. I replaced the accelerator sensor and the throttle body but the problem still exists. This is very dangerous when it happens on the highway. This has been going on with my…
