I purchased this vehicle and was told the recalls was up to date, my concern is mostly when i sometimes hit the brakes i hear a humming sound. Not sure if it was due to a faulty recall or not.

Total brake system failure due to rusted brake line. Brake pedal went completely to the floor during operation and vehicle luckily came to a stop when pedal was ground into the floorboard. Brake fluid was dripping from the line directly underneath the driver's side door. Vehicle was towed to a local garage and is awaiting an estimate for repairs.

Brake line blew while driving my 2005 z71 chevy tahoe. Had no clue until i tried to stop and my pedal went all the way to the floor not stopping my truck and i ran a red light. Thank-god i hit no other car or person! There was no warning - no lights - nothing indicating this was going to happen, not even a little drip of brake fluid before the burst line. I take my truck in for it's free oil changes every 5000…

When vehicle was in for service a stainless steel brake line failed resulting in a loss of fluid and brakes. I was told all the lines, where they contacted the frame, had corroded. These lines should not fail due to age of vehicle. Also dealer reported that they are seeing this quite a bit in chevy trucks. This would have been catastrophic if it happened on the open road. Only by chance did it occur when vehicle was…

After attending my nephew's high school basket ball game, my daughter and i returned to the tahoe in the school parking lot. I started the vehicle and put the transmission into drive and started to roll when the brake pedal went to the floor. I engaged the emergency brake to stop and thankfully stopped the tahoe before hitting anyone or any other vehicle in the lot. Looking at the owners manual and the dash lights,…

Just after coming off of a major highway,slowing down as i was approaching a set of lights,the brake pedal lost pressure,and went to the floor on my 2005 chevy tahoe. The rotors,pads and calipers had just been replaced 6mths prior,so i knew they were not the problem. I figured either the master cylinder went, or something was wrong with the brake lines. The service brake system and brake light were on. I was able to…

My wife was driving our 2005 chevy tahoe when she lost the brakes. She said the pedal went to the floor. She was not in any traffic but the car did not stop very quickly. I then drove the car very carefully to our local service station about 2 miles away. The mechanic found that one of our rear bake lines had rusted through causing all hydraulic fluid to be lost. The rear brakes had completely failed. After looking…

Lost brakes getting off interstate 20/59, seems to be a corrosion issue on the brake line going to rear axle. The location of the leak relative to the body is at the 2 l door along the frame rail. *tr
