Consumer Description

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND CONTINUED TO RUN CAUSING MY BATTERY TO RUN DOWN. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE FOR 1999 -2003 GMC SIERRA'S AND CHEVROLET SILVERADOS. GM DEALERSHIPS WANT NEARLY $800 TO MAKE THIS REPAIR FOR A PART THAT WAS DEFECTIVE IN DESIGN AND IN QUALITY. THE NTSB AND/OR NHTSA SHOULD MANDATE THAT GM RECALL AND CORRECT THE DEFICIENCIES IN THEIR PRODUCT INSTEAD OF SIMPLY ISSUING A SERVICE BULLETIN JUST ONE MONTH PRIOR TO MY WARRANTY RUNNING OUT.*AK
