I was driving home from work and was coming up to a stop sign and my brake pedal went clear to the floor. Luckily no one was coming and I went right through the intersection. After getting the truck home, my mechanic came and looked it over and found the rear brake line on the left side of the truck was completed rotted out and will have to be replaced. He told me that the other lines are looking bad also and that they should be replaced.

Brake line failure due to corrosion. Failure occurred without warning, excessive pedal travel and extended stopping distance through stop sign. Fluid leaking from beneath driver's side frame area. All metal lines heavily and substantially corroded. Identified and replaced failed line. Adjacent line subsequently failed during extended (10 second) full pedal application before vehicle even left garage. Replaced all 1/4" lines on truck.

Was pulling a trailer through town luckily when my brake pedal went to the floor. The trailer brakes kept me from hitting the person in front of me. After getting stopped I found the brake lines on top of the frame had ruptured due to corrosion. I went and bought new brake line material and I AM replacing two of the four lines. Not a week ago I noticed the my rear spring shackles need to be replaced due to corrosion. I have found that there is alot of these same issues through the internet. My truck is a 2001 chevy 2500hd.
Fuel System, Other · at 120,000 miles · reported Dec 10, 2010
I noticed that as I drive my 2001 chevy 2500hd with 6.0 v8, that the fuel gauge goes from saying I have fuel, to dropping down to no fuel and then back again. The gauge does this sporadically for no reason. This issue has been happening since I bought my truck, and has caused my wife and kids as well as myself to be stranded on several occasions. My wife and kids were placed in harms way, when she ran out of gas on the expressway, due to the failure. I took my truck to the dealer, and they said that there was a recall, and that they have had an overwhelming complain on the faulty equipment…
