2000 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 problems

“BRAKE LINES RUSTED AND NOW LEAKING IN FRONT OF AND UNDER THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHERE THE BRAKE LINES START RUNNING DOWN THE FRAME RAIL OF THE TRUCK BODY TOWARDS THE ABS MODULE. LAST WEEK THE TRUCK WAS FINE, AND I DECIDED IT WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO BRING IT TO MY CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE ANY OUTSTANDING RECALL WORK DONE. THEY TOLD ME AMONG OTHER RECALL ORDERS DUE ON MY TRUCK, ONE IN PARTICULAR IS TO HAVE A 2 FT STRETCH OF ONE OF THE LINES REPLACED, AND THEY REPLACED IT. LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK BACK I NOW HAVE A LEAK COMING FROM ONE OR TWO OF THE OTHER BRAKE LINES IN THAT AREA WHERE THE WORK WAS JUST DONE LAST WEEK. I HAVE LOTS OF QUESTIONS. NOTHING WAS LEAKING TILL THE DEALER TOUCHED IT, SO WHY AM I LEFT WITH A NEW PROBLEM THAT WAS DEALER CAUSED. SECONDLY, WHAT'S UP WITH A RECALL THAT CHOOSES TO REPLACE "ONE PART" OF 1 OF 4 LINES ALL RUNNING PARALLEL, AND ALL RUSTED TO THE SAME DEGREE? THIRDLY, WHY IS CHEVY WHICH HAS A "BUILT LIKE A ROCK" SUGGESTED REPUTATION USING BRAKE LINES THAT CAN SO EASILY SUCCUMB TO RUST, THERE LOTS OF OTHER SOLUTIONS FOR THIS AUTO MAKER. FOR INSTANCE DURING MANUFACTURE, INSTALLING STAINLESS STEEL LINES, COPPER LINES OR…”

“WAS DRIVING AROUND 45MH AND WAS COMING TO STOP SIGN BUT WHEN I WENT TO USE BRAKE THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I KEPT PUMPING WHICH SEEMED TO HELP JUST ENOUGH TO TURN INTO THE DRIVE WAY OF A MALL THAT HAPPENED TO BE CLOSED. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT OR I WOULD HAVE SMASHED INTO SOMEONE. SHOP SAID MAIN BRAKE LINE RUSTED THROUGH, A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CHEVY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT. VERY SAD CHEVY........”

“TREAD SEPARATION ON CONTINENTAL SPORT LT SUV TIRE SIZE P265/70R16. TIRES WERE PURCHASED FROM WALMART AND 3 OUT OF 4 HAVE HAD THREAD SEPARATION. THE FIRST TWO, THE SELLER REPLACED THEM WITH NEW ONE AND SINCE IT HAPPENED IN THE CITY AT LOW SPEED, NO DAMAGE. THIRD ONE WAS AT INTERSTATE I4 AT 70 MPH. SPEED AND SUDDENLY THE REAR BACK TIRE MAKE A BANGING NOISE HITTING THE FENDER AND UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FOLLOWING BY HEAVY VIBRATION AND BLOW OUT. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND SAFELY GET TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE. HEAVY DAMAGE TO THE LEFT FENDER, RUNNING BOARD AND DAMAGE TO BRAKE LINE AND THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE FROM RUBBER HITTING THE CAR. MY CAR IS CHEVY SUBURBAN AND TIRE HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THEM. THE TIRES ARE CONTINENTAL P265/70R16. AS I WENT TO WALMART, THEY DO NOT CARRY THE CONTINENTAL TIRES ANY MORE. HAVE NOT DONE ANY REPAIR ON THE VEHICLE YET AND HAVE FILED A COMPLAIN WITH WALMART ONLY SO FAR. *TR”
