SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I OWN A 2003 GMC SIERRA 1500 HD. THIS PAST WINTER I ALMOST HIT A SNOW PLOW DUE TO A BRAKE LINE RUPTURE. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY RUSTED AND VERY BRITTLE. I HAD THE ONE LINE REPLACE WHICH COST ME NEARLY $300. NO THIS PAST WEEK ANOTHER RUPTURE ALMOST CAUSED ME TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS TIME I'M GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE EVERY LINE IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. ALSO THE ABS SYSTEM KICKS IN WHEN TRAVELING AT SLOWER SPEEDS (5-10 MPH). THE CAUSE OF THIS IS UNKNOWN TO ME AT THIS TIME. UPON DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE I FIND THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MODEL AND NEARLY THE SAME YEAR VEHICLES, HAVING EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEMS. THEN I FIND ON YOUR SITE WHERE YOU HAVE STARTED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PROBLEM. NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE10010 THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THESE LINES TO BE FAULTY IN ONLY 6-7 YEARS TIME. IT'S LIKELY TO COST ME NEARLY A $1,000 TO HAVE ALL OF THESE LINES CHANGED. MY QUESTION IS IF THE NHTSA FINDS GM RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE FAULTY LINES AND THEY ISSUE A RECALL, WILL I BE REIMBURSED FOR HAVING ALREADY PAID FOR THE REPAIR? *TR
