DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAY.. WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO STOP.. PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE WON'T STOP... THEN WENT TO APPLY E-BRAKE AND THAT FAILED AS WELL... (I UP KEEP THE TRUCK VERY WELL SO THIS WAS NOT ISSUE)... I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO AVOID A SERIOUS WRECK... UPON INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES RUSTED OUT.. I ALSO HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AS A MAJOR ISSUE... WITH THESE TRUCKS.... ARE WE REALLY GONNA WAIT TILL SOMEBODY IS KILLED? *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I OWN A 2011 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE LTZ AND AT TIMES WHEN THE TRUCK DOWN SHIFTS IT WILL LUNGE FORWARD. I REALLY NEED TO HAVE MY FOOT FIRMLY PRESSED ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM POSSIBLY HITTING SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME. IT DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME AND IT'S RATHER RANDOM. I FEEL THAT IS WORSE THEN IT HAPPENING ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT IT. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OF A RECALL, BUT I FEEL A FIX IS DEFINITELY IN ORDER. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT AND IT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. *TR
