NHTSA Complaint #10621861 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

ON FEBRUARY 2, 2011 MY CARS SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM AND STABILITRAK LIGHTS CAME ON AND TRACTION CONTROL TURNED OFF. CAR WAS BROUGHT INTO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING BREAK FLUID INTO BOOSTER. IF NOT FIXED AND BRAKE FLUID LEAKS FURTHER, BRAKES WILL FAIL. AUGUST 6TH 2014, VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER FOR SAME ISSUES. SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM/BRAKE LIGHTS ON. STABILITRAK LIGHT ON AND TRACTION CONTROL TURNED OFF ON VEHICLE. SUV WILL LOOSE BRAKES IF ALL THE BRAKE FLUID LEAKS INTO BOOSTER. FAULTY PARTS POSE A SERIOUS HAZARD AS THERE IS NO EVIDENCE VISUAL TO THE EYE THAT BREAK FLUID IS LEAKING. IF BREAKS WERE TO GO OUT SERIOUS INJURIES AND ACCIDENTS WOULD BE THE RESULT. GM HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PARTS. GMC SEES NO PROBLEM IN MASTER CYLINDERS AND BOOSTERS FAILING AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES AND THEREFORE CUSTOMERS ARE FACED WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF REPAIRS. GMC WON'T TAKE OWNERSHIP TO REPLACE FAULTY PARTS THAT HAVE GONE BAD REPEATEDLY. 3 MASTER CYLINDERS AND 3 BOOSTERS IN A CAR THAT IS ONLY AT 80,000 MILES IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN PARTS. WE ARE LUCKY BRAKES HAVEN'T FAILED 100% AND KILLED INNOCENT PEOPLE BECAUSE OF GMC'S NEGLIGENCE ON FIXING FAULTY PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED ON MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER REPLACEMENTS. *TR
