#700613November 15, 1998
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM
I AM A METICULOUS DRIVER. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH 2 SETS OF FRONT ROTORS, 4 SETS OF FRONT BRAKE PADS, AND THE REAR BRAKES STILL LOOK LIKE NEW. THE REAR BRAKES DO NOT WORK ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER BENDIX; MANY ACQUAINTENANCES OF MINE HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE BBB AUTO LINE MANY TIMES AND GMC MANY TIMES; I AM NOW IGNORED AND GMC HAS WARRANTIED NONE OF THESE REPAIRS. THE BRAKING DISTANCE IS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED BECAUSE THE FRONT BRAKES ARE DOING APPROX 90 PERCENT OF THE STOPPING; PROBLEM IS WORSE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE HOT. P.S. I ENTERED THE VIN CORRECTLY BUT THIS PAGE WOULD NOT TAKE IT; I DOUBLE CHECKED. ????
