GM in deep with this Ignition Switch Issue

Maybe it was in a flood or driven in salt a lot.

My neighbor has an 04 Silverado. I replaced lines on it when it was 4 years old. His truck might have 90K miles on it now. I have replaced lines on several of the 99-06 trucks. I have also replaced a lot of lines on Buicks.

I think VDOT is trying to catch with PennDOT. VDOT went way overboard on salt this year.

GM is the only one have the brake lines rust prematurely in my area.

Only thing I have replaced brake lines on is one Jeep and 3 or 4 GM vehicles. Actually all the GM's were either Pontiac or Olds.

I make a good many brake lines. I do some fuel lines and once in a while trans cooler lines. I have made every single brake lines on several vehicles. Brake lines on vehicles with 4 wheel ABS can be a pain.

GM is definitely not the only one who had brake pipe corrosion issues on their trucks NHTSA had an investigation open in the last couple years looking at all big 3 trucks. I will say that GM's new pipes have a dramatically improved coating in the last few years

Previous to my new GM truck, I had 2 Ford trucks that I had also bought new. Previous to our new GM car, we had 2 Chrysler cars, 1 new and 1 nearly new. We are VERY happy with the GM products we have now.
