WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT UP. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING OF THE FREEWAY AND ON CITY STREETS. SOMETIMES THESE LIGHTS GO OFF AND SOMETIMES THEY REMAIN LIGHTED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I FEAR THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AND HAVE TAKEN THIS MATTER TO A MECHANIC. THE BRAKES WERE EXAMINED AND HE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THIS IS VERY STARTLING TO THE DRIVER AND OF GREAT CONCERN. THIS APPEARS ON INTERNET SEARCHES AND IT APPEARS THAT 100,000 PLUS INDIVIDUALS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND OBVIOUSLY THIS MATTER HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THERE ATTENTION. YET THEY CLAIM THEY ARE UNFAMILIAR AND WANT TO CHARGE $600 TO DIAGNOSE AND THEN

GMC TRUCK FRAMES CRACKING, ROTTING OUT, BRAKING DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND COATING AND GM WON'T STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AS TOYOTA HAS. THE CONSUMER GETS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF FRAMES GIVING OUT WELL BEFORE THE BODY, THE FRAMES SHOULD BE STRONG. IN UNDER 2 YEARS THE FRAME WENT FROM STRONG AND SAFE TO NOW RUSTED UP SCRAP METAL. AMERICAN QUALITY SHOULD BE OF GREAT STANDARDS IN MY UP MOST OPINION BEING AN ARMY VETERAN. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD COMPANSATE OWNERS OR BUY THEM BACK AS TOYOTA HAS.
