APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT 35 MPH, WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I COULD NOT SLOW THE CAR DOWN VERY MUCH AND WENT THROUGH A VERY YELLOW LIGHT. FORTUNATELY THE CAR WAITING AT THE LIGHT HAD NOT ENTERED THE INTERSECTION. THE A BRAKE LINE ROUTED ABOVE THE FRAME BLEW APART LOSING BRAKE FLUID EVERY TIME I PUMPED THE BRAKES. NO PRESSURE TO OPERATE THE REAR BRAKES. THE BREAK OCCURRED AT A RUSTED LOCATION. *TR

I'VE COME ACROSS SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. MOST OF WHICH HAVE TAKEN THE ISSUE BACK TO GM DEALERS, WHO GET NO SUPPORT FOR THE PROBLEM FROM THE HOME OFFICE. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. THE ISSUE ITSELF IS THE TRUCK KICKS INTO "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MODE AND THEN IT DOES NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN IDLE WHICH MEANS IT ALL OF THE SUDDEN REDUCES THE SPEED TO 5 MPH MAXIMUM AS WELL AS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND THE ABS BRAKES. THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TROUBLESHOOTING THE ISSUE WITH NO SOLID FIXES FROM WHAT I CAN FIND. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD COME UP WITH A FIX SO THAT ISN'T A DANGEROUS HAZARD TO CONSUMERS AND OWNERS OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE THERE 2003 MODEL YEARS, IT SEEMS TO BE MOSTLY THERE 2003 MODEL YEARS. GM DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS AN ISSUE. PLEASE HELP US CONSUMERS OUT, WE WOULD JUST LIKE THIS PROBLEM SOLVED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR
