I own a 2004 GMC Sierra. two days ago, while driving on the highway, and trying to stop at a toll booth, the brake pedal went down to the floor. I had to pump the pedal several time to stop the vehicle. I have seen many other complaints about this on you site. Do you know if gm is planning to do anything about it?

we have a 2000 silverado extended cab 4 wheel drive truck well maintained that without warning suddenly had no brakes. After having the truck towed to local dealership, was informed that all 4 brake lines had rusted to the point of failure. We were told that this was unusual and even asked if we had the truck up NORTH. We informed the dealer that we bought the truck new from them and that it was driven locally. The total bill was around 1600.00. We called GENERAL MOTORS 800 number and was informed that they could not help us.....we are blessed that no one was injured but we are going to inform all our friends to NEVER BUY A GENERAL MOTORS PRODUCT...they are unrealiable..IT IS NO WONDER GM IS NUMBER 2 NOW....I ENCOURAGE ANYONE READING THIS TO BUY A FOREIGN PRODUCT LIKE TOYOTA...NOT GENERAL MOTORS..AND IF YOU ARE EVER IN RICHMOND ,KY,,DO NOT GO TO JACK BUFORD...THEY DO NOT GIVE YOU A BREAK AND THEY ARE CHARGE DOUBLE.....

Nothing has happened yet. The bralkes on my 2002 Silverado are the worst brake I have ever had, from day one. When I furst got the new vehicle, the brakes went almost to the firewall and could be pumped-up. The second dealer agreed there was something wrong and worked on it for two weeks. The master cylinder was replaced and work continued until I received a call, there was no longer anything wrong, but nothing had change in the way the brakes do not work properly. It is almost like the 'computer' has to determine that I need brakes before they are applied. I think GM knowes it has a problem but are not willing to address it. Trust me when I say, these are not normal hydraulic brakes.
