I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT DRIVING ON A 4 LANE 55 MPH SPEED ZONE. AS I WAS APPROACHING THE STOP LIGHT I STARTING PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE PEDAL HAD NO RESISTANCE IT KEPT GOING TO THE FLOOR. I STARTED PUMPING THE PEDAL TRYING TO SLOW MY TRUCK DOWN, NO USE. I PUSHED PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THIS SLOWED A LITTLE. BUT NOT ENOUGH. I DOWN SHIFTED THE AUTOMATIC LEVER AND STARTING GUIDING THE TRUCK OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID THE STOPPED VEHICLES. I MISSED THE VEHICLES. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY 3 MILES FROM HOME. I MANAGED TO LIMP HOME BY DRIVING VERY, VERY SLOW AND USING THE GEAR SHIFTER TO SLOW ME DOWN. WHEN INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE AT HOME I FOUND THE BRAKE LINE ON THE RIGHT FRONT HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND THERE WAS A LEAK. ALL THE BRAKE LINES ON THIS TRUCK ARE RUSTED AND IN BAD SHAPE. I CALLED THE DEALER GLENN BUICK GMC WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW IN 2003. I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE PERSONAL "COREY" ABOUT REPAIRING THE RUSTED LINES. HE SAID GMC WAS NOT STANDING BEHIND THIS "FAILURE" ! I WAS ON MY OWN ! SEEMS GMC KNOWS OF THESE FAILURES AND SO DO YOU AND YOU HAVE AGREED NOT TO MAKE THEM STAND BEHIND IT AND YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO ALLOW MORE ACCIDENTS TO HAPPEN ! YOU = NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY WHAT A SHAME ! SHAME ON YOU AND GMC ! HAD I NOT BEEN "LUCKY" THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT! ANY HELP IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE WOULD BE APPRECIATED! THIS ISSUE WILL ONLY GET WORSE ! AS I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHER TRUCKS WITH THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM WAITING TO HAPPEN!

I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WHERE TRAFFIC WAS STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND WAS DECREASING SPEED FROM APPROX 35 MPH. AT APPROX.10-15 MPH THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR SENSOR DETECTION AND THE BRAKES FAILED. I HELD THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED TO LOW GEAR AND DRIFTED TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER TO AVOID THE STOPPED TRAFFIC. I SLOWLY MOVED THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE PLACE. IN A SHORT DISTANCE THE SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING ACTIVATED BUT THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO FAILURE. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO MY MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINE ON THE LEFT FRAME RAIL HAD FAILED UNDER PRESSURE DUE TO EXTREME RUST. IT WAS ALSO DETERMINED THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES, EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE AND BRAKE PLATES WERE RUSTED FAR IN ADVANCE OF EXPECTATIONS FOR MY MODEL YEAR AND MILEAGE. ALL BRAKE LINES HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE ANOTHER FAILURE IS CERTAIN IF ONLY THE BLOWN LINE IS REPLACED. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD AND HAS SERVICED MY VEHICLE AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO ASSISTANCE OR RECALL FOR RUSTED BRAKE LINES EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. *TR

I WROTE GM ON OCTOBER 26, 2013 ABOUT MY 2003 GMC SIERRA DURAMAX DIESEL 6.6L 6L THAT JUST RECENTLY STARTED BILLOWING BLUISH BLACK SMOKE CONSTANTLY FROM THE EXHAUST AND COSTING AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF MONEY IN GAS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (QUALITY BY DILORENZO IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO) AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A BULLETIN ISSUED IN OCTOBER 2006 FOR LEAKING FUEL INJECTORS. THEY DIAGNOSED MY TRUCK WITH THE EXACT FUEL INJECTOR PROBLEM. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 83,502 MILES ON IT AND I'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE NEXT TIME I TAKE IT FOR AN EMISSIONS TEST (A REQUIREMENT IN NEW MEXICO) IT WILL FAIL. I FINALLY SAVED UP ENOUGH MONEY TO GO AN OUTSIDE REPAIR SHOP ON JULY 15, 2014 TO GET MY FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED AND THE TOTAL CAME TO $4763.78. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE TWO STRIPPED BOLTS INDICATING THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED (ADDITIONAL COST OF$12 EACH TO REPLACE THE 8 BOLTS). I CALLED THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE INJECTORS WERE REPAIRED UNDER THE ORIGINAL BULLETIN (04039) IN JUNE 2005 AT TILLERY MOTORS IN BELEN NM. THEREFORE, THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE NEVER REALLY REPAIRED PROPERLY IN THE FIRST PLACE. I HAVE SPOKE TO ANOTHER WOMEN ([XXX]) AT THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER. SHE IS AGAIN ELEVATING THIS ISSUE TO A SPECIALIST UNDER GM ID [XXX] FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE TOTAL COST (STANDARD 24-48 HOUR CALL BACK). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE PARKING THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND SPRAYED BREAK LINE FLUID ALL ON THE MANIFOLD. THERE WERE ZERO BRAKES AND DISCOVERED THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A SHOP FOR REPAIR TO THE LEAK. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE ALL OF THE LINES ARE CORRODED. I WOULD NOT CONSIDER OUR STATE A "SALT STATE" BEING THAT WE LIVE IN THE SOUTH. DUE TO THESE CHEAP BREAK LINES WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE THEM ALL REPLACED. WE ARE VERY, VERY DISSATISFIED AND WILL PROBABLY NEVER BUY A GMC PRODUCT IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED BY GM. *TR
