Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 GMC SIERRA PICKUP TRUCK. TODAY I EXPERIENCED A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM; WHILE COMING UP TO A LIGHT ON A STREET WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 50 MPH, I LOST ALL BRAKING ABILITY AND THE PARKING BRAKE WAS OF NO USE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT (THANK GOD) BUT AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, A WEB SEARCH SHOWED A RECENT ARTICLE DESCRIBING SIMILAR FAILURES. THOUGHT I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT BEFORE SPEAKING WITH GM TOMORROW MORNING. *TR
