THE RECALL WAS A MONTH BEFORE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. WHY DO I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT I'M NOT PART OF THE RECALL? ON THE BRAKES- IT WAS RECALLED FOR THE ANTILOCK ON A VOLUNTEER BASIS. I TOOK IT IN FOR THE COMPUTER ADJUSTMENT AS PER THE RECALL FIX, THEY SAID IT WAS DONE AND A WEEK LATER, ON THE SAME ROAD IT FIRST HAPPENED TO ME, A LIGHT CHANGED, I HIT THE BRAKES (NOT HARD) AND ANTILOCK KICKED IN AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I ALMOST CRASHED AS MY HEART WENT INTO MY STOMACH. LONG BEFORE THE RECALL, I HAD MY TRUCK INTO GMC MANY TIMES FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS AND EVEN WROTE LETTERS...

THIS PROBLEM WAS A RECALL ON THE 1995 BLAZERS AND JIMMYS, BUT NOT ON THE 1996 MODELS EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PART USED ON BOTH YEARS, ACCORDING TO A PARTS PERSON AT A GMC DEALER SHIP. FORTUNATELY NO ONE IN OUR FAMILY WAS INJURED. I AM HAVING THE PROBLEM FIXED AT MY EXPENSE, DUE TO THE FACT THAT GMC WILL NOT PAY FOR THE DEFECT. I FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS FOR THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT, AND THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CORRECTED, BY RECALL, BEFORE SERIOUS INJURIES OCCUR. SINCERLY, RONALD L KELLER *AK
