WHILE COMING DOWN A HILL TO A RED LIGHT, I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THE BRAKE WENT TO THE FLOOR. AS IT WENT TO THE FLOOR I HEARD A NOISE, TURNED MY WHEEL TO ADVOID HITTING THE CAR INFRONT OF ME, I RAN OVER A SPEED LIMIT SIGN, ONLY TO MISS A BUILDING BY APPLING THE PARKING BRAKE. I WAS ONLY GOING 25MPH. A COP BEHIND ME HEARD THE POP AND STOP TO SEE IF WE (ME, MY FIANCE AND CHILD) WERE ALRIGHT. WHEN I TALK TO MY MECHANIC, HE SAID THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF REPORTS OF THE BREAK LINES FAILING IN THE SILVERADO. THAT MOST OF HIS OTHER CLIENTS THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM CALL A CHEVY DEALER AND THEY EITHER PAID FOR THE REPAIRS OR GIVEN UP TO $500 TO THE REPAIRS. I CALL JBA CHEVROLET IN GLEN BURNIE MARYLAND, AND THEY STATED THAT THEY ARE UNWARE OF SUCH A PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO LOOK INTO OR HELP IN THE REPAIR. I HAVE READ OF THE CONCERNS/REPORTS OF OTHERS AND I AM WONDERING WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL. FAMILIES ARE AT RISK. WHAT ACTIONS CAN I AND OTHER DRIVERS TAKE? CHEVY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR
