What owners report
I RESIDE IN MICHIGAN AND THE WINTERS HERE ARE SOMEWHAT BAD ON VEHICLES BUT THIS IS IN NO WAY ACCEPTABLE FOR GM TO GET AWAY WITH. I WAS OUT OF TOWN ON THE 15TH OF AUG ABOUT 80 MILES FROM HOME AND PREPARING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN TO ENTER ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED YELLOW AND THE DRIVER/CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SUDDENLY AND THANKFULLY PROCEEDED TO TURN HENCE GETTING OUT OF MY WAY BECAUSE WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES THEIR WAS NOTHING RIGHT TO THE FLOORBOARD, I HAD KNOWN WHAT JUST HAPPENED, RUPTURED A BRAKE LINE. I PROCEEDED TO MAKE THE TURN AND SOMEHOW GET THE TRUCK TO STOP WHILE GOING DOWN THE ON RAMP OF THE HIGHWAY. HERE IS MY BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH GM`S BRAKE SYSTEM. WHY WHEN 1 LINE R
BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO FLOOR. HAD TO DOWN SHIFT AND USE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO STOP. FOUND BRAKE LINE HAD CORRODED LEFT FRONT ALONG CHASSIS. *TR
BRAKE LINE FAILURE. WAS ABLE TO AVOID A CRASH BUT ALL THE BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED FROM THE OUTSIDE. ALWAYS RINSE UNDERCARRIAGE AFTER DRIVING ON SALT ROADS WHICH ISN'T THAT OFTEN IN CHESTERFIELD VA. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES I KNOW OF 5 OTHER PERSONS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
I WAS TRAVELING CLOSE TO MY HOME AND WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A COUNTRY ROAD. I WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES WITH NO RESULT. THE PEDDLE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO LOW GEAR AND FINALLY MADE IT HOME. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TRANSPORTED TO A SHOP FOR REPAIRS. THE COST TO FIX THE BRAKES LINES, MASTER CYLINDER - $1000. NOT HAPPY WITH GMC AND WILL PROBABLY NEVER BUY ANOTHER AMERICAN MADE VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE A CHEVY TAHOE AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THAT VEHICLE AS WELL. *TR
