Consumer Description

BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. TRAVELING 35 MPH, I HAD TO BRAKE SUDDENLY AND THE PEDAL SUNK TO THE FLOOR. HAD MINOR RESISTANCE, THEN JUST COMPLETELY GAVE WAY. NO BRAKES! WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN INCIDENT BY VEERING INTO THE ONCOMING LANE THAT WAS LUCKILY VACANT. TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET TO SAFELY ROLL TO A STOP. TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT THE REMAINING 1.5 MILES HOME, I HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP. ADVISED THAT ALL BRAKE LINES NEED TO BE REPLACED, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC THAT HE HAS SEEN A DOZEN TIMES. THE BRAKE LINES CORRODE, AND EVENTUALLY BURST. ABSURD! TO THINK THIS COULD OF HAPPENED ON A FAMILY ROAD TRIP AT 65MPH... I WILL BUYING A VEHICLE OUTSIDE OF GMC AND THEIR UMBRELLA OF POORLY MADE VEHICLES- ASAP!
