SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS LEAVING GIANT EAGLE GROCERY STORE. I PULLED OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT AND PULLED UP TO THE CROSSWALK. THERE WAS A MOTHER WITH HER TWO SMALL CHILDREN CROSSING. I PUT ON MY BRAKES TO STOP TO LET THEM CROSS AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THANKFULLY I PUT ON THE PARKING BRAKE AND STOPPED TWO FEET FROM RUNNING THEM OVER, I PULLED TO THE SIDE AND LOOKED UNDER MY TRUCK AND SAW ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE ABS MODULE WAS BLOWN OUT. ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES ON MY TRUCK ARE SEVERELY CORRODED. THIS IS THE SECOND BRAKE LINE FAILURE ON THIS TRUCK. ONE OF MY REAR BRAKE LINES FAILED DO TO CORROSION LAST YEAR. I PATCHED THAT ONE AND I'M GOING TO PATCH THIS ONE SINCE I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF WHEN NOT IF THE BRAKE LINES CAUSE MY DEATH OR SOME INNOCENT PEOPLE TO DIE WHEN I CRASH INTO THEM BECAUSE OF THESE CHEAP JUNK BRAKE LINES GM PUT ON THESE TRUCKS! *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE AUTO DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING FOR A SECOND TIME. WHEN YOU PRESS THE LOCK BUTTON, THE DOOR LOCK DO NOT RESPOND. THIS COULD CAUSE PEOPLE TO BECOME TRAPPED IN THE TRUCK, OR A CRIMINAL COULD EASILY OPEN THE DOOR TO CARJACK THE DRIVER. *TR
