THIS WAS NOT A RESULT OF ACCIDENT JUST ADDITIONAL PRESSURE ON BRAKE, HAVING 2 OF MY 4 GRANDKIDS WITH ME IM GLAD IT HAPPEDED WHILE STOPPED AND NOT GOING 60 MPH ACROSS THE BAY BRIDGE, GM SHOULD RECALL ALL VEHICLES WITH THE SAME TYPE OF BRAKELINE ISSUE'S OR AGREE TO PAY FOR THE LINES THAT DO RUST THROUGH
