Fuel/Propulsion System · at 101,544 miles · reported Apr 15, 2015
Fuel was pouring out from the top portion of the fuel tank, on my year 2000 chevrolet suburban 2500 where the line goes into the pump at the tank. There was a serious potential fire hazard from fuel pouring onto the exhaust system while driving. I had a certified service station remove the fuel tank, and perform a smoke test. They found the leak coming from the fuel pump assembly. Replaced fuel pump assembly, and fuel filter as recommended. Reinstalled tank, and road tested for any leaks, none found. Total parts, tax, and labor came to $935.05.

I noticed my 2000 chevrolet - suburban k2500 vehicle pulling to the left at light to moderate braking. Noticed oil like stains to under side of drivers front wheel well area. I had it inspected by a certified service station. During inspection they found a leak coming from the brake hydro booster, and power assist high pressure hoses.

I was told that the driver could lose complete power assist to the steering and brakes, causing a potentially hazardous driving…
Service Brakes · at 88,727 miles · reported Mar 1, 2015
We bought our 2000 suburban in 2002 with only 3000 miles .this was a secret service fleet vehicle with hardly any miles on it . We have had this vehicle to date with only 88,727miles on it. Last summer after pulling our 31 foot camper back from vacation I noticed that I was leaking brake fluid in our drive way. I was glad that we made it home with no incident. We have not used the truck sense that time .I looked under the truck only to see all my brake lines corroded and leaking. They offer aftermarket brakes in stainless steel lines. Why don't all the automotive companies put the stainless…
Service Brakes · at 100,202 miles · reported Sep 2, 2012
I left my residence to run an errrand and a deer ran out in front of my vehicle. I hit the brake pedal hard to avoid hitting the deer and a brake line ruptured. I was able to slow down and eventually stop and carefully returned home with the brakes barely working. Upon inspection, the brake lines, which are clustered together under the drivers side are completed corroded. I can't even tell which one ruptured due to all of the corrosion. I have owned this vehicle since new and take good care of it. The brake lines look like they are 30 years older than the rest of my vehicle. I own some older…
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · at 45,000 miles · reported May 31, 2010
I understand NHTSA is looking into reports of corroded brake lines on year 2000 chevrolet trucks. I just experienced this issue. This weekend I was pulling my boat out of the water, I pressed hard on the brake to release the parking brake and the pedal went all the way to the floor. I was able to power up the ramp without difficulty but when attempting to stop there was practically no brake pressure at all. There were no warning lights. When the truck was safely stopped I chocked the trailer and had my wife step on the brake, and observed fluid leaking out of a failed line near the left rear…
