I own a 2001 silverado with 45K miles. Looks brand new on the outside and inside. The wife took the garbage down to the dumpster and complained she had to pump the brakes to stop because they when down to the floor. I pulled right front wheel off and saw the pads where in great shape. I noticed fluid under the drive side of the truck. Put my fingers in the fluid and determined it to be brake fluid. I look up next to the frame and saw all brake lines were rusted badly. This should not happened. I have had cars much older with many more miles in the chicago area with lots of salt and this has never happened! I live in missouri where winters are mild and salt use IS a fraction of the chicago area. Gm has a problem here that needs to be fixed. I have been searching the net and many people with different gm models are having this same problem (rusted brake lines). Someone can get killed or seriously injured because of this! *tr

- Service brakes, hydraulic › Antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip
ABS went off at slow speeds and the brake would pulsate. Removed rust build up under ABS sensor mounting surface. After it was fixed gm had a recall that excluded missouri and I just don't think it was fair. It seems there IS a problem with all there 2001 chevy pickups not just by states.*jb

Rain flooded my 2001 grand am SE too. Brought to dealer and was told some plugs were loose cause of some extra rustproofing I had done. This occured on the back drivers floor. This kept happening and was told by the dealer it was my problem now because it was no longer under warranty.. Also have had problems with the brakes and am now replacing the drivers side bearings.
