Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY GETTING READY TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE INSTEAD OF CONTINUING THE TURN I PULLED ONTO THE CENTER MEDIAN SO I WOULD NOT HIT THE ON COMING TRAFFIC. I RUPTURED A BRAKE LINE AND HAD TO HAVE MY TRUCK TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP.AFTER READING ON LINE I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE SIERRA AND SILVERADO. I ALSO HAVE READ THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE THEY FEEL IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. WE'LL IF I HAD NOT PULLED THE WHEEL BACK TO THE RIGHT AND WENT INTO THE MEDIAN I WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON CRASH,I WOULD CALL THAT A SAFETY ISSUE.
