NHTSA Complaint #10969861 — 2004 GMC ENVOY

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE CAR STARTED LUGGING AND NOT DRIVING SMOOTHLY. WHEN I NEEDED TO BRAKE SHORTLY AFTER THIS HAPPENED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES. I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND WAS ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT HITTING ANY ONE. I CONTINUED ABOUT 5 MILES CONTINUALLY PUMPING THE BRAKES NOT KNOWING IF THEY WOULD WORK .DURING THIS TIME THE PEDAL WOULD SOMETIMES GO TO THE FLOOR AND OTHER TIMES ALMOST GO TO THE FLOOR. THEN AS SUDDENLY AS IT STARTED IT STOPPED. BRAKES WERE BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY AND THE GMC MECHANIC FOUND NOTHING WRONG. SO I'M PUT BACK ON THE STREET RISKING MY LIFE AND SOMEONE ELSE'S BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAID "IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS". THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE!
