Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY INTERSTATE 70 IN MARYLAND AND WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES . AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES , THE TRUCK PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT ,AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR . IF I WOULD NOT HAVE SWERVED ONTO THE MEDIAN , I WOULD HAVE RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE . AFTER STOPPING , I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND ,AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION WAS COVERED IN BRAKE FLUID. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, I NOTICED THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED. GM STATES THAT YOUR VEHICLE CAN STILL STOP IF YOU LOSE ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES . IN MY SITUATION , I FOUND THIS TO BE A FALSE STATEMENT . THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ,AND I WAS VERY SURPRISED WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A CERTIFIED GM DEALERSHIP AND FOUND THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY OFFERED A VOUCHER FOR 1000 TOWARDS A NEW VEHICLE . I OWN A 1968 CAMARO THAT IS ALL ORIGINAL ,AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY RUST ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LINES . HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE THAT A CAR 35 YEARS OLD DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM ? AND EVEN MORE CRAZY , THAT GM TURNS A BLIND EYE TO THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE . NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WILL NOT EVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT ! *TR
