2004 silverado corrode brake lines. One broke while driving. No accident. All line corroded. Seems like a safety notice should be sent to owners, my family could have been hurt. Gm put cheap parts in, other manufactures are not having this problem. Seems like a big public safety concern and it will get worse as the 2004-2007 line start breaking.
