NHTSA Complaint #10361224 — 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO AN ACCIDENT THAT HAPPENED TO MY 17 MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER. IN ATTEMPTING TO STEADY HERSELF WHILE WALKING, SHE ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHED THE TIRE ON MY DAUGHTER'S CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. HER SMALL HAND SLIPPED THROUGH THE HUB CAP SPACE AND CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE HOT BRAKE PAD, CAUSING HER TO SUFFER 2ND DEGREE BURNS ON THE PALM OF HER HAND. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS MUST HAVE HAPPENED TO OTHER YOUNG CHILDREN. PARENTS WITH WHOM MY DAUGHTER AND I HAVE SPOKEN HAD NO IDEA THAT BRAKE PADS WERE SO ACCESSIBLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PUBLIC IS NOT AWARE OF THIS DANGER AND SHOULD BECOME AWARE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
