Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
TRAVELING THROUGH INTERSECTION AND MAKING LEFT HAND TURN TO GO IN EAST DIRECTION. MY VEHICLE'S BRAKES CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT ALL(!) THE BRAKES LINES WERE RUSTED THROUGH AND THAT MY BRAKE FLUID LEAKED OUT. AND NOW ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. NOT ONE, NOT TWO - ALL! THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT AND NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN A GM PRODUCT WITH A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WOULD SEEM TO BE A GM TRUCK THAT CAN'T STOP!
