NEPHEW BORROWED MY TRUCK. HE WAS IN MOTION AND TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ON A CITY STREET AND REALIZED BRAKES HAD FAILED. HE WISELY CONTINUED STRAIGHT TILL IT SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH AND HE MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A ROAD AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT BEHIND A HOUSING PROJECT. HE USED A SNOW BANK/BOULDER TO STOP THE TRUCK. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. TRUCK WAS TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE. I DO MY OWN REPAIRS. AFTER INSPECTION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT ONE OF THE SUPPLY LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE ABS MODULE HAD RUPTURED. THERE WAS COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM AFTER A SINGLE PUSH ON THE BRAKES. THE TRUCK IS 11 YEARS OLD. HOW CAN THE BRAKE LINES BE RUSTING OUT. THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND A SERIOUS FLAW WITH THIS DESIGN. I'M ATTACHING 2 PICTURES FOR YOUR OBSERVATION. GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FIXING THESE BAD DESIGNS. IS THIS ANOTHER CHEAP SOLUTION LIKE THE IGNITION KEY PROBLEM THAT COST COUNTLESS LIVES? THERE SHOULD BE THE UTMOST ACTION BY THIS AGENCY TO HOLD GM ACCOUNTABLE. THIS ABS MODULE SHOULD BE UP IN THE FRONT HOOD LIKE OTHER MANUFACTURERS DO. NOT UNDER THE CAB IN A WET ENVIRONMENT. SHAME ON GM.
