1995 Chevrolet 1500 Owner Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL ROAD BRAKES FAILED, HAD TO DOWNSHIFT AND USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP TRUCK. I FOUND OUT AFTER INVESTIGATING, THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED SO BADLY THAT THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE BLEW OUT THE BRAKELINE TO THE FRONT DRIVERSIDE WHEEL. TURNS OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON CHEVY TRUCKS AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL YET !!! DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET HURT OR DIE BEFORE THIS DESIGN FLAW GETS RECALLED? THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS A MAJOR SAFETY COMPONENT OF ANY VEHICLE, WHY IS THE NHTSA NOT ACTING ON THIS? THE ENTIRE BRAKE LINE SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACED BEFORE THE TRUCK CAN BE DRIVEN AGAIN. *TR
