Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY AND MY BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY OUT. NO WARNING LIGHT THAT IS A LIE AND SO IS THE STATEMENT ABOUT IT SLOWLY COMING TO A STOP. LUCKILY I WAS GOING UP A HILL SO IT CAME TO A STOP THEN STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO GO OFF THE ROAD AND HIT A POLE AND BROKE MY TAILGATE OFF CAUSE THE TAILGATE PINS WERE RUSTED TO AND I LIVE IN ALABAMA. NO SALT ANYWHERE. THANKS CHEVY, NOW I CAN'T EVEN FIX THE TRUCK BECAUSE ITS GOING TO COST ME 1,000 DOLLARS. *TR
