2004 Chevrolet Tahoe Brakes Problems

While driving at 35 mph, your brake pedal went soft and sank all the way to the floor, forcing you to use the parking brake to stop. After parking, you noticed brake fluid spraying onto the ground from underneath the front of the vehicle. This suggests a significant brake system leak that could prevent your brakes from working properly.

Your brakes didn't stop the vehicle right away when you pressed the pedal while driving. The dealer found this is related to a known brake issue (NHTSA Campaign 04V045000), but your specific vehicle's VIN wasn't included in the recall, so no repair was performed. The problem happened around 150,000 miles. This will likely require brake system inspection and potentially replacing brake components like brake fluid, master cylinder, or brake lines.

Your brakes didn't work when you pressed the pedal, which caused an accident. This is a complete brake system failure that needs immediate professional diagnosis and repair to determine why the brakes failed.

Your brake pedal sank all the way to the floor when you pressed it, and your dashboard displayed a warning saying 'Stability System Disabled - Service Brake System.' You had to press hard on the brake pedal to safely move your vehicle out of a drive-thru. After restarting the engine, the problem persisted, so you parked the vehicle and haven't driven it since. The issue likely involves a loss of hydraulic pressure in your brake system, which may require inspection and repair of brake lines, cylinders, or fluid reservoirs.

While braking hard at low speed, your brake system partially failed and you had to push the pedal to the floor to stop. You discovered a ruptured brake line that was spraying brake fluid onto the catalytic converter, creating smoke and a fire risk. The brake lines had corroded despite recent brake pad and rotor service, and replacement lines are available from GM but dealer installation costs around $2,000 or more.

Your brake pedal went completely to the floor with no stopping power in both your 2004 and 2005 Tahoe trucks. In each case, the main brake line ruptured midway along the truck's undercarriage, spraying brake fluid everywhere. Both failures happened during highway driving, and you had to use the emergency brake to stop safely. The brake line will need to be replaced, inspected for corrosion or defects, and the entire brake system refilled and bled.

Your brake line has rusted through, causing you to lose brake fluid and brake function while driving. This is a serious safety issue that requires immediate attention. The rusted brake line will need to be replaced with a new one to restore proper braking.

Your brake pedal went to the floor when you tried to stop, and you discovered brake fluid leaking under the driver's side of your vehicle. The dealer found a blown brake line and said all the brake lines were in poor condition. You had only the leaking lines replaced instead of all of them.

Your brake master cylinder lines are leaking fluid. You may notice your brake pedal feeling soft or spongy, or brake fluid dripping under your vehicle. A mechanic confirmed the brake lines need to be replaced to restore proper braking function. The repair will involve replacing the faulty brake lines and refilling the brake fluid system.

BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED AND LEAKING. COMPLETELY RUSTED FROM FRONT TO BACK... I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER.

ON 11-11-15 I WAS SITTING AT AN ATM WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. LIMPED TO OUR MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE FRONT BRAKE LINES WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED. REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE LINES AT A COST OF $580. ON 5-28-17 MY HUSBAND HAD PULLED INTO A CONVENIENCE STORE AND WAS LETTING MY SON OUT OF THE VEHICLE, HAD HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND YET AGAIN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. GOT THE VEHICLE HOME, CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND ONLY 2" OF FLUID WAS LEFT, CHECKED BRAKE LINES AND FOUND RUSTED OUT PLACES WITH FLUID LEAKING OUT. GOT THE VEHICLE TO OUR MECHANIC, SAME ONE THAT REPLACED THE FRONT LINES, HE ADVISED THE SAME PROBLEM, RUSTED OUT LINES. ESTIMATE TO REPLACE REAR LINES $540. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A "FLAW" WITH THAT YEAR TAHOE AND PICK UP TRUCKS. MY QUESTION IS IF THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS THIS IS A FLAW WITH THE BRAKE LINES WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL TO HAVE THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED??? IT APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM, NO BRAKES IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION!!!!!!! SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

ON SEPTEMBER 3 2016 WHILE PULLING INTO A BANK PARKING LOT THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. FORTUNATELY I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITH THE PARKING BRAKE. BRAKE FLUID WAS ON THE GROUND BEHIND THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL. IT APPEARS A BRAKE LINE RUPTURED CAUSING INSTANT CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JIM PRICE CHEVROLET IN CHARLOTTESVILLE FOR DIAGNOSIS. TOTAL MILEAGE IS ABOUT 213000. BEING A HOLIDAY WEEKEND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BE CHECKED UNTIL TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 6. IF I HADN'T PULLED INTO THE BANK I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN 8 LANE INTERSECTION WITH RIO RD AND RT 29 AND PROBABLE NOT HERE TO SEND THIS REPORT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO IMMEDIATELY STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO STOP AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINES FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 129,000.

TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP COMING DOWN A HILL APPROACHING STOPPED VEHICLES AHEAD WHEN THE THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR I FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE STOP BEFORE HITTING ANYTHING OR ANYONE INCLUDING MYSELF AND MY PETS....USED EMERGENCY BREAK AND PUT IN PARK CONDUCTED INVESTIGATION..1ST CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND EVEN THOUGH IT WAS JUST TOPPED OFF IT WAS DOWN TO THE MINIMUM LEVELS I NEXT LOOKED UNDER THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND SAW FLUID LEAKING UNDERNEATH. SINCE HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC AND SAID MY BREAKLINE BLEW AND POSSIBLY THE OTHERS BECAUSE OF CORROSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP, THE BRAKING SYSTEM EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC AND INSTANT FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP, WHICH CAUSED THE DRIVER TO CRASH INTO AN EMBANKMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. DURING THE CRASH, THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A RIGHT KNEE INJURY THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO CORROSION AND RUSTED BRAKE LINES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

BRAKE LINE BLEW WITHOUT WARNING. APPROACHING STOP SIGNAL AND WAS SLOWING DOWN BY BRAKING AND THEN SUDDENLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I SWERVED INTO LEFT TURNING LANE TO AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND TRAVELED HALFWAY THROUGH THE BUSY INTERSECTION BEFORE STOPPING. PROCEEDED INTO LOT OF NEARBY CONVENIENCE. BRAKE FLUID POOLED UNDER CAR. COULD HEAR AIR COMING OUT OF BRAKE LINE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED.

I WAS TRAVELING TOWARDS HOME AROUND 45 MPH IN MY 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ATTEMPTED A NON-SIGNALED RIGHT HAND TURN AND THEN CONTINUED STRAIGHT AHEAD. I APPLIED MY BRAKES IN A MANNER TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR AS SHE DECIDED WHAT SHE WAS GOING DO. THE PEDAL WAS FIRM AT FIRST, THEN COMPLETELY WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. THIS RESULTED IN ME TAKING AN OFF ROAD ADVENTURE THROUGH SOMEONES YARD AND BACK ONTO THE ROAD TO AVOID SLAMMING THE CAR IN FRONT ME AS SHE REGAINED HER SENSE AGAIN. I SLOWLY CREPT HOME AND SPIT A TRAIL OF BRAKE FLUID ALONG THE WAY. THE HARD BRAKE LINES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE SO CORRODED WITH RUST AND I FOUND THE FRONT FEED LINE INTO THE ABS MODULE HAD BURST FROM THE CORROSION AND USE OF CHEAP FACTORY LINES. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE BECAUSE 11 YEARS AGO GM DECIDED CHEAPER BRAKE LINE MATERIAL IN 2004 IS BETTER THAN MY LIFE IN 2015. NOW I FIND THAT THE INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED AND THEY ARE BLAMING "MAINTENANCE" AS THE CAUSE. IN ALL THE VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED, NOT A SINGLE ONE HAD TO HAVE A HARD BRAKE LINE REPLACED. IT'S JUST NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. IT IS A MATERIAL AND PRODUCER FLAW THAT IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. IT ALMOST TOOK MY LIFE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST MY REAR BRAKES. THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO STEER ON TO THE SHOULDER TO AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE/DOWN SHIFTING TO CONTROL VEHICLE SPEED. I NARROWLY AVOIDED 3 OTHER VEHICLES. THIS FAILURE WAS DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION ON THE STEEL BRAKE LINE RUNNING TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. EVEN AFTER FREQUENTLY INSPECTING MY BRAKE LINES, THE ROUTING OF THIS LINE IN PARTICULAR MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO VIEW. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS ISSUE, WHICH IS WIDELY KNOWN, HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED.

WHILE AWAY FROM HOME AND TOWING MY BOAT I STARTED TO LOSE BRAKING POWER AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP. THE AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE LINES AND POOR QUALITY OF THE COMPONENTS AND THE WAY THEY ROUTE THEM THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED. I COUNT MYSELF LUCKY THAT NEITHER I OR ANYONE ELSE WAS INJURED.

TRAVELLING NORTH ON STATE ROUTE 741 WITH MY FAMILY OF 6. WE BEGAN TO SLOW FOR STOPPED TRAFFIC ON A SLIGHT DOWNHILL GRADE. AT ONCE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING AND WHEN I APPLIED EMERGENCY BRAKE THE BRACKET FASTENING IT TO THE FRAME BROKE AS WELL. THE TRUCK WAS GAINING SPEED WITHOUT ANY BRAKES AT ALL. I PUT IT INTO A DITCH DOING 60 MPH. IT TOOK ME 1.5 MILES TO FINALLY GET THE TRUCK STOPPED. TOOK IT TO A GARAGE THEY REPLACE ALL BRAKE LINES TWO REAR CALIPERS, MASTER CYCLINDER, AND HYDRO BOOST CANISTER. HOW DO ALL THESE PARTS FAIL AT THE EXACT SAME TIME AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BRACKET BREAK AWAY FROM FRAME TRYING TO STOP VEHICLE? APPARENTLY THE SIZE OF THE VEHICLE IS TO MUCH FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM TO EFFECTIVELY STOP THIS VEHICLE. I AM TOLD BY A DEALER THIS IS A FREQUENT ISSUE WITH GM VEHICLE. I AM VERY MAD ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AND PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK. THIS VEHICLE WAS AT CHEVROLET DEALER IN BELLEFONTAINE OHIO 11 MONTHS AGO FOR A FULL INSPECTION AND NOTHING WAS FOUND EXCEPT AN INNER TIE ROD THAT NEEDED REPLACED. HOW??? WITHOUOT PRIOR WARNING CAN ALL THESE COMPONENTS IN A BRAKEING SYSTEM FAIL AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. THERE WAS ZERO EVIDENCE OF TAMPERING AND TRUCK MILEAGE IS BELOW NATIONAL AVERAGE. MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN KEPT UP TO DATE. SERIOUSLY CONCERNED OWNER!

DRIVING VEHICLE ON LOCAL STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 15MPH WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO STOP AT STOP SIGN. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TOTALLY TO THE FLOOR AND LOST ALL BRAKES. UNABLE TO STOP I NARROWLY MISSED ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH WAS ALREADY IN THE INTERSECTION. CAR FINALLY CAME TO A STOP AGAINST CURB ON OTHER SIDE OF INTERSECTION. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THAT BOTH REAR BRAKE LINES HAD COMPLETELY BLOWN UNDERNEATH DRIVERS DOOR. THEY WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING THEM TO FAIL. WHEN I GOT HOME I DID A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH OF THIS ISSUE AND FOUND QUITE A FEW STORIES DEVOTED TO THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. IMAGINE IF I WAS GOING FASTER THAN 15 MPH IF THIS EVENT HAD OCCURRED. I ALSO HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THROUGH EMAIL. *TR

WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH SON IN CAR WENT TO HIT THE BRAKES DOING ABOUT 40 MPH AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY SHE HAD ROOM TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THE STOPPED CAR WHILE CONTINUING TO PUMP BRAKES COMING TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. THANK GOD NO HARM WAS DONE TO HER OR MY CHILD. 2 BRAKE LINES HAS BEEN RUPTURED ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE AND WAS SPEWING BRAKE FLUID EVERYWHERE. ALL OF THE LINES CONNECTED TO THE ABS PUMP WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AND ALL HAVE TO BE REPLACED.

A CAR CUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TO SLAM THE BRAKES, WHEN I DID THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE INTO ANOTHER LANE AND AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BUT AFTER PULLING OVER I OBSERVED BRAKE FLUID GUSHING OUT A RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINE WHEN THE PEDAL WAS PUSHED. VERY UNSAFE. I LIVE IN CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA AND THIS TYPE OF CORROSION ON THE BRAKE LINES IS TOTALLY UNSAFE. *TR

AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVE-THRU AT MY LOCAL BANK I PUSHED ON MY BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP AT THE WINDOW & THE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS SOMEONE AT THE ATM & I IMMEDIATELY PUSHED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP BEFORE I RAN OVER THEM. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP & THEY TOLD ME BEFORE THEY PUT IT ON THE LIFT WHAT WAS PROBABLY WRONG WITH IT. RUSTED BRAKE LINE(S). I SAID SURELY NOT ON A 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THEY SAID OH YEAH WE SEE THIS ALL THE TIME. IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE A LOT OLDER VEHICLES AT HOME THAT DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE INFERIOR MATERIALS. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE TO SAVE A BUCK FOR THE COMPANY. *TR

REAR BRAKE LINES (HARD LINES) RUPTURED ABOVE REAR AXLE. 1000 MILES LATER BOTH BRAKE HARD LINES FROM MASTER CYLINDER TO PROPORTIONING VALVE ALSO FAILED DUE TO INTERNAL CORROSION. *TR

DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH APPLIED BRAKES SUDDENLY... NEXT TIME APPLIED BRAKE ,BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WAS ABLE TO STOP BUT BARELY... AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME...BRAKES LINES RUSTED OUT ....THIS IS A KNOWN GM PROBLEM....PLEASE SOMEONE HELP.... SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED..... *TR

WHILE BRAKING HARD FOR STOPPED VEHICLES ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY MY 2004 TAHOE BRAKES FAILED. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT MY REAR CROSSOVER BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED THROUGH. *JS

CAME OUT OF THE MY DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED I HAD TO PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I LEFT A TRAIL OF BRAKE FLUID DOWN THE STREET. WAS TOLD BY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED AND COMPLETELY DETERIORATED. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND HAD TO STOP WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. I EXPECT TO PAY SOME $600 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LINE WHICH SHOULD CERTAINLY LAST FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL/REIMBURSEMENT FOR OWNERS. I HAVE TO HAVE THIS FIXED, AND CAN'T WAIT FOR A RECALL -- THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN IN ANYTHING APPROACHING A SAFE MANNER. *TR

2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE BRAKES. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HIS DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. HIS DAUGHTER HAD DIFFICULTY STOPPING THE VEHICLE. WHEN SHE ARRIVED HOME, HE DECIDED TO TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE, AND SOON DISCOVERED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND HE COULD BARELY STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER HAD TO ADD NEARLY 16 OUNCES OF BRAKE FLUID. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HIS MECHANIC, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED AND ONE LINE WAS LEAKING BADLY. THE REPAIR COST, THE CONSUMER $1,346.62.

IT SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS, THEN WHEN I BACKED IT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, I LOST ALL OF MY BRAKES. I RAN INTO A TREE WITH THE REAR BUMPER. THERE WAS JUST A SMALL DENT IN THE REAR QUARTER PANEL. I HAD TO HAVE THREE BRAKE LINES REPLACED. *TR

RETURNING HOME FROM TRIP. AS I PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY BRAKES FAILED. TOOK IT TO SHOP AND WAS TOLD ALL BRAKE LINES WERE BADLY CORODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE BRAKE SERVICE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LINE WAS CORRODED AND LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

RUSTED BRAKE LINES FAILED. LOST BRAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DURING AN UNRELATED REPAIR, IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS ENTIRELY RUSTED AND THAT THE BRAKE PAD WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 185,000.

I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD TO AVOID A PERSON THAT RAN A STOP SIGN. I DROVE OFF, DOWN A HILL AND UPON REACHING THE STOP SIGN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD VERY LIMITED BRAKING AND STOPPED 3/4 OF THE WAY INTO THE INTERSECTION. THANK GOODNESS THERE WASN'T ANY CROSS TRAFFIC. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT ONE OF THE METAL LINES HAD RUPTURED AND THAT ALL THE LINES WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. DEALER WANTS $2,800.00 TO REPLACE THESE BIO-DEGRADABLE BRAKE LINES. ONE WOULD WONDER WHY THE MUFFLER IS STILL ORIGINAL AND IN GOOD SHAPE, BUT THE BRAKE LINES CORRODED TO THE POINT OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. DEALER IS NOT WILLING TO ASSIST IN THE COST DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE INVESTIGATION THAT IS ON-GOING NEEDS TO INCLUDE MORE MODEL YEARS THAN WHAT IS BEING INVESTIGATED. IT MAY THEN SHED LIGHT ON HOW WIDE SPREAD THIS PROBLEM REALLY IS. I AM UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING THAT METAL BRAKE LINES SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER THEN A MUFFLER. GM IS TAKING THE STANCE THAT THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS IN "SALT STATES". IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, DON'T THEY SELL THESE VEHICLES IN "SALT STATES?" THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THIS IS SERIOUS. UPDATED 09/24/14. *JB

I WAS LAUNCHING MY BOAT ON A BOAT RAMP TO A LAKE.WHEN BACKING UP TO THE WATER I PRESSED MY BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN THE FORWARD GEAR TO GET OUT OF THE WATER. THE BREAK LINE WAS LEAKING. I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND ALL THE LINES WHERE RUSTED OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE LINE HAD FAILED BECAUSE IT WAS RUSTED OUT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF WARNING TO OTHER TAHOE OWNERS AND A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE BRAKES FAILED AND WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD ABNORMALLY.

BRAKE LINE RUPTURE CAUSING COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. I WAS SWITCHING THE CARS AROUND IN MY SINGLE WIDE DRIVE WAY WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED ON MY VEHICLE. PULLING THE VEHICLE BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY FROM BEING STOPPED ON THE ROAD SO I BARELY ACCELERATED AND FORTUNATELY HAD VERY LITTLE SPEED WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED, THE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, WHILE FAILING TO SLOW/STOP THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO STOP BY PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, NO HARM DONE THOUGH NOT A GENTLE STOP. IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM WAS NOT DIFFICULT AS THE BRAKE LINE HISSED LOUDLY WHERE IT RUPTURED WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. A GREAT DEAL OF CORROSION WAS PRESENT ON ALL OF THE LINES AS WELL AS THE FUEL LINES. *TR

LOST BRAKES PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. BRAKE LINES RUSTED OUT. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES SHOULD NEVER RUST !!! GENERAL MOTORS IS LIABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD MAKE REPAIR IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I WAS LEAVING WORK AND I WAS COMING TO A JUNCTION, APPLIED MY BRAKES AND NOTHING HAPPENED, I WAS SLOWLY GOING INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND A CAR WAS COMING TOWARDS ME, I HAD TO ACCELERATE TO GET IN FRONT OF HIM, TO AVOID HIM HITTING ME. I GOT TO THE MAIN JUNCTION WHICH IS ON A HILL AND I PRESSED VERY HARD ON THE BRAKES AND IT FINALLY STOPPED. I DROVE 2 MILES AN HOUR FOR ABOUT 100 FT AND TURNED INTO A GAS STATION. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND WHILE WAITING FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE TOW TRUCK MAN GOT UNDER THE CAR AND SAID ALL MY BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED AND LEAKING. I WAS LUCKY THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD. WHY ARE THE BRAKE LINES RUSTED. IS THERE A RECALL ON THESE BRAKE LINES. *TR

MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME TODAY THAT MY BRAKE LINES WERE VERY CORRODED AND IN DANGER OF A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. *TR

TRIED TO STOP, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. BRAKE LINES AT THE FRAME UNDER DRIVER'S SIDE RUSTED THROUGH. TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED, AND ALL BRAKE LINES REPLACED. *TR

AT 36,000 MILES SPEEDOMETER FAILED AND READ WRONG SPEED AND THEN LOCKED AT 140 MPH. T 40,000 MILES THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILED AND THE BRAKING WAS REDUCED. *AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE MADE A RUBBING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DETERMINED ALL FOUR ROTORS WERE SO WORN THEY COULD NOT BE TURNED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD 40,000 MILES ON IT.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ENGAGED AND THE KEYS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, THE CONTACT OPENED THE FRONT LEFT DOOR TO RETRIEVE AN OBJECT, WHEN IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED OVER THE EMBANKMENT WITH THE CONTACT AND CRASHED INTO A TREE BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE CONTACT WAS EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO HITTING THE TREE. INJURIES WERE INCURRED TO THE RIGHT ELBOW. THE SERVICE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTOR WAS SENT BY THE MANUFACTURER TO INVESTIGATE. THE RESULTS OF THE MANUFACTURER INSPECTOR WERE NOT SHARED.

DT: CONTACT STATED THE BATTERY FAILED. THE SERVICE DEALER REPLACED AN AIR CONDITIONING MODULE. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING THE WHEEL LOST BRAKING CAPABILITY, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. DEALERSHIP VERIFIED THIS WA SHAPPENING, BUT DID NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS STUDS BROKE FROM THE BRAKE DRUM AND WHEEL CAME OFF. *AK

WHEN BRAKING/ACCLERATING THERE WOULD BE VIBRATION IN THE PEDAL LINKAGES. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

EMERGENCY BRAKE GOES TO THE FLOOR, DOES NOT WORK LUCKILY DISCOVERED UPON SAFETY INSPECTION MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT CHEVROLET TRUCKS AND SUV'S ARE ALL HAVING THIS PROBLEM, ISN"T THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE I CAN NOT PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE.*AK

VEHICLE (2004 CHEVROLET Z71 4X4) PULLS CONSISTENTLY TO THE RIGHT UPON FIRM BRAKE APPLICATION (SUCH AS FROM A 65 MPH COASTING CONDITION). AT THE SAME TIME, THE VEHICLE'S REAR END SWINGS OUT TO THE LEFT MAKING FOR A VERY UNSTABLE SITUATION. WHEN YOU LET OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE DARTS TO THE LEFT DUE, I ASSUME, TO THE LEFT-INPUT ON THE STEERING WHEEL THAT YOU'VE HAD TO SUSTAIN TO KEEP THE TRUCK IN ITS LANE. I DROVE SEVERAL LOANERS FROM THE SELLING DEALER THAT, TO MY SURPRISE, ALL DID THE EXACT SAME THING. SEVERAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGEMENT INDIVIDUALS CONFIRMED THAT THEIR Z71 WERE ALSO AFFLICTED. THE BRAKE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT HE FOUND MY VEHICLE "DANGEROUS" AND THAT HE WOULD NOT PUT HIS FAMILY IN IT. DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSONNEL STATED THAT THEY HAD CONTACTED CHEVROLET TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND WERE TOLD THAT CHEVROLET WAS AWARE OF THE CONDITION, AS THEY HAD ATTEMPTED TO CURE IT IN A VEHICLE THEY HAD AT THE DETROIT-AREA MANUFACTURING FACILITY, BUT WERE UNABLE. THEREFORE, SINCE ALL OF THESE VEHICLES PULL TO THE RIGHT WHEN BRAKING, IT MUST BE "NORMAL." NO FIX TO BE HAD. I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THE CONCLUSION THAT IT IS NORMAL, AND HAVE DRIVEN IN EXCESS OF SEVERAL THOUSAND VEHICLES AS MY BASIS FOR DISAGREEMENT. I AM AT A LOSS TO EXPLAIN WHY THIS CONDITION HAS NOT CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF NHTSA, AND IS NOT THE SOURCE OF MASSIVE COMPLAINT BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC. ANYONE ELSE WHO EXPERIENCES THIS CONDITION, PLEASE CHIME IN AND LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD.
