SERVICE BRAKES
I FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE ON THE MORNING OF SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH AS I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT. AS I WAS BACKING IN, I NOTICED ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ON THE FLOOR AND I WAS ABOUT TO PLOW INTO A CURB AND THREW THE TRUCK IN PARK. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ONE DAY LATER AS MY FIANCE AND I HAD JUST COMPLETED A 200 MILE DRIVE HOME. I WAS PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT AT OUR TOWNHOUSE COMPLEX AND AS I WAS PULLING FORWARD TO BACK INTO THE SPACE, I NOTICED I HAD NO BRAKING POWER WHATSOEVER. I HAD TO THROW THE TRUCK IN PARK TO KEEP IT FROM HITTING A NEIGHBORS VEHICLE. I OPENED THE HOOD WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, AND NOTICED A TICKING NOISE I HADN'T HEARD BEFORE AND MY BRAKE PEDAL ONLY HAD ABOUT 1/4" OF TRAVEL LEFT. I COULD PULL THE PEDAL BACK TO WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE BUT IT WOULD JUST FALL BACK DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO VERY SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY PARK THE TRUCK USING PARK AND THE PARKING BRAKE. WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING AND THE VEHICLE IN PARK, I DEPRESSED WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND HELD IT TO THE FLOOR AND HEARD A MOANING NOISE COMING FROM THE AREA NEAR THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND COULD FEEL THE BRAKE PEDAL SHUDDERING UNDER MY FOOT. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND I WAS GIVING NO WARNING OF THE BRAKE FAILURE. I AM HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO SEWELL BUICK GMC IN DALLAS AND WILL UPDATE WHEN THEY FIND CAUSE. I WILL ALSO BE CALLING GM CUSTOMER SUPPORT AS I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD.

TOP OF DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN NUMEROUS PLACES ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, CENTER OF DASHBOARD, AND AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG. WORRIED THAT THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THERE WOULD BE SHARP PIECES OF DASH BOARD BEING THROWN AROUND THE CAB AND MIGHT AFFECT DEPLOYMENT OF PASSENGER AIR BAG. I HAVE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS BUT THEY ARE OVER THE 5MB LIMIT

ENGINE
I WAS ACCELERATING ON TO THE FREEWAY WHEN I HEARD A POP THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE STARTING KNOCKING AND LOST POWER. I CALLED ONSTAR AND THEY GAVE ME THE CODE P0300: THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM IS NOT PERFORMING AS EXPECTED. AN ISSUE HAS BEEN DETECTED IN THE EXHAUST EMISSIONS SYSTEM WHICH MONITORS AND CONTROLS EXHAUST GASES RELEASED INTO THE AIR FROM THE ENGINE. IF THE VEHICLE IS CONTINUALLY DRIVEN WITH THIS LIGHT ON, THE EMISSION CONTROLS MIGHT NOT WORK AS WELL, THE VEHICLE FUEL ECONOMY MIGHT NOT BE AS GOOD, THE ENGINE MIGHT NOT RUN AS SMOOTHLY AND COULD LEAD TO FUTURE REPAIRS. I WAS TOWED TO GREINER GMC IN VICTORVILLE, CA. I WAS TOLD A LIFTER FAILED AND THE CAM SHAFT IS DAMAGED. I'M LOOKING AT $5800 IN REPAIRS.
