Original text

I WAS DRIVING ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY AND WENT TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND THE BRAKES INITIALLY WORKED BUT AT ABOUT 30 MPH THERE WAS A TOTAL FAILURE AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO STAND ON THE PEDAL, SO TO SPEAK, TO GET THE 2005 YUKON TO STOP BEFORE HITTING THE TRAFFIC STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED HOME AND UPON INSPECTION THE BREAK LINE HAD FAILED RIGHT BELOW THE RADIATOR WHERE IT CONNECTS TO A PLASTIC RETAINER CLIP. I WAS AMAZED AT THE FACT WITH ONLY 118,000 MILES I HAD TOTAL RUST THROUGH ON BRAKE LINES. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS ON A VEHICLE AND WOULD EXPECT THE LINES TO LAST LONGER. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN INDIANA ABOUT 40 MILES FOR CINCINNATI, OH. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!! SINCE I REPAIRED THIS FAILURE, THE TRANS LINE AND ANOTHER BRAKE LINE HAVE FAILED DUE TO RUST.!! I HAVE OWNED GM PRODUCTS MY WHOLE LIFE AND HAD A 1998 YUKON WITH 235,000 MI. ON THE TRUCK AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH RUST THROUGH ON THE LINES. I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING GM WOULD DO TO HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WORRY EVERY TIME I USE THE TRUCK THAT ANOTHER LINE WOULD BREAK AND CAUSE A MASSIVE ACCIDENT. *TR
