BRAKES FAILED DUE TO RUST / CORROSION. THESE BRAKE LINES SHOULD BE MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL. THEY ARE MADE FROM LOW GRADE STEEL. IT AMAZES ME THAT SOMETHING AS CRITICAL AS BRAKES WOULD BE CHOSEN AS A WAY TO LOWER COSTS ESPECIALLY WHEN THE COMPANY WHICH MADE THE TRUCK WAS BAILED OUT BY THE SAME TAX PAYERS WHOSE LIVES THEY PUT AT RISK. NEXT TRUCK WILL BE A TOYOTA. *TR
