2004 GMC Sierra 2500

LEAVING WORK I PULLED OUT FROM THE PARKING LOT AND DROVE ABOUT 500 YARDS. WENT TO APPLY BRAKES AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK TO MY WORK PARKING LOT AND STOPPED THE TRUCK. NOTICED THAT BRAKE FLUID WAS POURING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK IN TWO PLACES. ONE LEAK WAS UNDER THE DRIVERS AREA AND THE OTHER WAS IN FRONT OF THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. THE PLACE I WORK HAS A CAR LIFT. PUT THE TRUCK ON THE LIFT AND THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED THROUGH. THE TRUCK HAS ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF RUST ON THE FRAME, SUSPENSION, AND AXLES. THIS TRUCK IS NOT MY DAILY DRIVER. I DO NOT LIVE NEAR THE OCEAN NOR DO I PUSH SNOW WITH IT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN BRAKE LINES RUST OUT LIKE THIS. GM STATED THAT I HAD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. AFTER READING UP ON THE TOPIC I KNOW GM WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE LINES. I ALREADY ORDERED STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE LINES FOR THE TRUCK AND WILL INSTALL THEM. HOPEFULLY GM WILL REIMBURSE OWNER FOR THIS EXPENSE. *TR
