Consumer Description

WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT A VEHICLE TRAVELING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION TURNED IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. I APPLIED THE BRAKES IN A PANIC STOP, PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY RELEASED AND I COASTED INTO THE INTERSECTION. I SWERVED TO MISS THE ONCOMING VEHICLE AND DID JUST MISS IT. SINCE THIS INCIDENT THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN STEADY ON. I HAVE DISCONNECTED THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE MODULE. A GENERAL MOTORS MECHANIC HAS PULLED THE CODES AND SAYS THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM HAS COMPLETELY FAILED. I PLAN TO GO TO A GMC DEALER THIS MONTH AND COMPLAIN UNTIL I GET SOME SATISFACTION. THE FIRST TIME I NEEDED MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES TO FUNCTION THEY FAILED. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACEPTABLE. I SEE FROM THIS WEB SITE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BRAKES ON SUBURBANS AND WONDER WHY THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL. *AK
