Original text
THIS VEHICLE CAME WITH FACTORY TOW PACKAGE. BRAKE LINES, REAR, WERE REPAIRED A YEAR AGO. TOWING A HORSE TRAILER WITH HORSE ( APPROX 6500 LBS TOTAL ), THE FRONT BREAK LINE FROM THE ABS MODULE BROKE AND PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WHILE EXITING 90W ONTO 84W. TRAILER BRAKES FINALLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE A FEW INCHES FROM THE AUTO IN FRONT OF US . THIS WAS ON NEW YEARS EVE THIS YEAR, AND 2:00PM IN THE AFTERNOON. FOUND A GARAGE/MECHANIC TO REPAIR THE FRONT LINE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT INVOLVING A NUMBER OF CARS AND TRUCKS. I HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT EVERY OIL CHANGE, AND HAVE IT REPAIRED WHEN NEEDED. I HAVE READ OF MANY ISSUES WITH THE (CHEAP ) BRAKE LINES GM HAS USED IN THESE VEHICLES( 1999 TO 2003 ), AND AS THEY GET OLDER, THEY ARE JUST AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. GM SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES, AND FIX THE PROBLEM WITH CORRODING BREAK LINES. ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR " PROFESSIONAL GRADE" ADVERTISEMENTS. VERY MISLEADING. *TR
