SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
AFTER CONTACTING GM ABOUT SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF BRAKE FAILURE I WAS TOLD THEY WERE INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM BUT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOTHING WOULD BE DONE BY GM. NO FURTHER EXPLANATION FOLLOWED. THE BRAKING PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE HAS RESULTED IN ONE CRASH W/INJURIES AND THREE OTHER OCCURRENCES WERE A CRASH WAS NARROWLY AVERTED. CONTACT WITH OTHERS ACROSS THE US INDICATES THE ABS HAS A PROBLEM KNOWN BY GM, BUT GM REFUSES TO MAKE REPARATION. I RECEIVED FACIAL LACERATIONS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND CONSIDER GM'S ATTITUDE ONE OF "[XXX] THE CUSTOMER...YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN". I FIRMLY BELIEVE MULTIPLE PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DIE BEFORE GM WITH ADMIT THESE VEHICLES HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
