NHTSA Complaint #11489579 — 2021 GMC ACADIA

My brakes are awful. They sqeak and sqeal constantly. I've taken it to Ken Ganley Buick GMC several times. Prior to that, it was taken to Nick Abraham BMC. The dealerships are able to duplicate the sound and problem over and over again. None of the dealership representatives are able to offer a solution other than paying out of pocket to replace the brake pads because the material the brake pads are manufactured from are falling short. There is no way the brakes are functioning the way they were designed. Thankfully, I have not been in a situation where I need to slam on my brakes but I am not confident that they would do their job in an emergent situation. I have a toddler and a new baby on the way. I purchased a big SUV with the mindset that it would keep my family and I safe. We have leased several GMC products over the years and have never had an issue like this. We will absolutely not be renewing our lease to prove our loyalty to this brand. The fact that I'm being told the only way to fix the manufacturers problem is to pay out of pocket and fully replace the brakes on my vehicle that is 1.5 years old with 28k miles on it, is absolutely absurd. We are willing to give GMC the opportunity to make it right. At this point, I'll be honest, I doubt anything will even be addressed.
