“BRAKE LINE FAILURE ON 2002 CHEVY S-10 CREW CAB. ONE BRAKE LINE BEGAN LEAKING. DEALER SUGGESTED REPLACING TWO LINES. WHEN REPAIR WAS BEING COMPLETED A THIRD BRAKE LINE BEGAN TO LEAK. THE PARTS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE FROM GM AND THE DEALER SAID IT COULD TAKE MONTHS TO GET.WAITING TO SEE IF A LOCAL SHOP CAN MANUFACTURE THE THIRD LINE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE LINES CORRODED DUE TO BRINE USED ON ROADS DURING WINTER. I SAW AN ARTICLE STATING THAT THE NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING OTHER GM TRUCKS BETWEEN 1999 AND 2003 FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM BUT THE S-10 IS NOT LISTED AS HAVING AN ISSUE.

I DO NOT FEEL VERY CONFIDENT ABOUT THE REMAINING LINES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED. *TR”
