Consumer Description

THE BRAKES FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO NEARLY STRIKE A NUMBER OF CHILDREN AT A CROSSWALK. AFTER EXAMINATION BY A MECHANIC, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE LINE HAD CORRODED AND BURST UNDER PRESSURE. I HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTICE OF THIS POTENTIAL FAILURE FROM GMC EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA. SHOULDN'T THE MANUFACTURER HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO REPAIR THIS POTENTIALLY LETHAL PROBLEM? AT A MINIMUM I FEEL THAT GMC AND/OR THE NHTSA HAVE A MORAL OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF AFFECTED VEHICLES THAT THEY ARE DRIVING A POTENTIALLY DEADLY VEHICLE.
