Service Brakes · at 70,000 miles · reported Nov 12, 2013
I bought a 2006 sierra denali with 65000 miles on the truck in may of 2013. I lost my brakes and almost rearended a man pulling into his driveway. I also had my 3 kids and my fiance in the truck with me. I took my truck to robertsons gmc in wareham,ma and they told me my brake lines were completely rotted as well as my frame. I also had a extended warranty which did not cover it because it was a pre-existing problem.

2006 sierra denali with just over 75,000 miles. With 1/2 block warning and only traveling at a speed of 20mph, I was unable to come to a complete stop. The brake pedal was all of the way to the floor when I ran into a van in the intersection. I felt very little resistance from the pedal and the ABS definitely did not go off. There was no snow or ice on the road surface. However after towing the vehicle to the local dealership, I was told nothing was wrong with the truck.
