I PROCEEDED TO BEGIN PUMPING THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, AS I WAS PUMPING THE BRAKE, THE PEDAL KEPT GOING DOWN FURTHER AND FURTHER TO THE FLOOR. IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND A RED WARNING LIGHT CAME ON TELLING ME TO SERVICE THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AT THE LAST MINUTE TO COME TO A COMPLETE HALT. I GOT OUT AND NOTICED SOME OIL ON THE PAVEMENT THAT TURNED OUT TO BE BRAKE FLUID. I STOPPED AT AN AUTO PLACE AND BOUGHT A LARGE BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID TO FILL THE MASTER CYLINDER. I THEN STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND COULD SEE THE FLUID SPEWING OUT OF ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES. THE BRAKE LINES ARE VERY BADLY CORRODED. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED ME THAT ANOTHER CHEVY TRUCK WAS THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEAR MISS TRULY SCARED BOTH ME AND MY WIFE AND WE WERE BOTH GRATEFUL WE DIDN'T HAVE A SERIOUS CRASH. THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT A CHEVY DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY WILL BE STARTING THE WORK ON THURSDAY, APRIL 21ST. I DID CONTACT GM TO COMPLAIN ABOUT WHAT I BELIEVE IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, THEY HAVE CALLED ME TO ASK FOR THE DETAILS. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS CHEVY TRUCK VEHICLES WITH THE SAME CORRODED BRAKE LINES SO I DECIDED TO PUT IN A COMPLAINT. THE NHTSA HAS COMPLAINT #ODI 10358067 ALREADY IN IT'S DATABASE AND I SUSPECT MANY OTHERS BASED ON WHAT I SEE ONLINE. CHEVY BRAKES SYSTEMS HAVE 365 COMPLAINTS NOTED AT EDMUNDS.COM. AND I QUESTION HOW MANY HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTED. JUST A NOTE, I AM AN EX-ENGINEER  AND BELIEVE THE DESIGN IS VERY POOR AND THAT THE MATERIAL CHOSEN ACTUALLY BEGS FOR FAILURE. GM ENGINEERS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THE DESIGN. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2004","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"SILVERADO","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]}]}
