UNKNOWN OR OTHER, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM FILING THE COMPLAINT BECAUSE I HAVE PREVIOUSLY TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO BOB JEANNOTTE PONTIAC-GMC TRUCK, INC., PLYMOUTH, MI 48170 (734) 453-2500 TO HAVE AN INSPECTION FOR RUSTED BRAKE LINES AS WELL AS RUSTED FRAME ON THE ABOVE LISTED INCIDENT DATE. MY INVOICE # IS GCCS189900 AND MY CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE PROVIDED CASE # IS 71-784-24265. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE CONDITIONS BY THE DEALER REP. THIS VEHICLE IS HAVING CONTINUAL RUST PROBLEMS TO BOTH THE BRAKE LINES AND FRAME. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AS I UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM UP TO YEAR 2003 AND WOULD LIKE MY VEHICLE YEAR TO BE INCLUDED IN THESE INVESTIGATION ISSUES.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AT 15K MILES, HAD THEM TURNED UNDER WARRANTY AT DEALER VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM. AT 30K MILES ROTORS WARPED AGAIN, THIS TIME 1 BRAKE PAD WAS WORN DOWN TO 2MM THICK, THE REST APPEAR ALMOST NEW IN THICKNESS. DEALER TURNED ROTORS AGAIN AND REPLACED PADS FOR $200. REQUESTED AND WAS DENIED THAT THE BRAKE WORK BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BY DEALER AND GM CS. I TOOK OLD BRAKE HARDWARE HOME WITH ME AND STILL HAVE IT. I CONTEND THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OR MATERIALS IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM OF THIS TRUCK CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR AND FAILURE OF "NON WARRANTY" BRAKE ITEMS SUCH AS THE PADS AND ROTORS. I CONTEND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A HANGING BRAKE PAD CAUSING THE ROTORS TO OVERHEAT AND WARP SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW AND ANY WORK PERFORMED AT THE TIME OF THE 15K MILE ROTOR TURNING DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IF BRAKE WORK NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED ON THIS TRUCK EVERY 15K MILES THERE IS A REASON THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ONE TIME FREAK FAILURE I CAN SEE, TWO TIMES EVENLY SPACED AT 15K MILE INTERVALS AND I THINK SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLES BRAKES DESIGN AND/OR MATERIALS. VEHICLE IS DAILY DRIVER, 15 MILES A DAY TO AND FROM WORK. GARAGED DURING THE WINTER, TAKEN OFF ROAD (FROZEN CORNFIELDS, DIRT FIELD ROADS) FOR A WEEK IN LATE FALL. USED TO TOW A FISHING BOAT A FEW TIMES A YEAR. OWNER IS A FORMER ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND IS NOT AN AGGRESSIVE USER OF THE BRAKES. MEANING I BRAKE FIRMLY AND EVENLY WHEN BRAKING IS NEEDED, LIFTING MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL ONCE STOPPED AND APPLY ONLY ENOUGH PRESSURE TO HOLD VEHICLE STILL. *TR

AIR BAGS
I HAVE A 2007 GMC SIERRA THAT I FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT BEFORE BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHEN I HIT A SMALL POTHOLE. AFTER GMC FIXED VEHICLE THEY ASSURED ME IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THEY FIXED THE OVERLY SENSITIVE SENSOR. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME IN SEPTEMBER OF 2010 AND THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AGAIN. I STILL HAVE VEHICLE WHILE GMC DECIDES WHAT THEY SHOULD DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM . REALLY? I HOPE THEY REALIZE WHY THEY NEEDED A BAILOUT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHILE DRIVING HOME I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND EXPERIENCED A RUPTURED BRAKE LINE UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. LUCKILY NO CRASH OCCURRED BECAUSE I WAS ON A BACK ROAD WITH NO TRAFFIC. AFTER INSPECTION IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT ALL BRAKE LINES WERE VERY BADLY CORRODED AND ALL WERE READY TO FAIL. THE WORST DAMAGE APPEARED NEAR THE WHEELS WHICH I WOULD ASSUME IS DUE TO ROAD SALT AND MOISTURE. *TR
