SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE HAD A ANTI-LOCKING BRAKE PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 12 MONTHS. I HAVE TO HAVE ONE SIDE REPAIRED ALREADY. I AM GOING TO HAVE THE OTHER SIDE FIXED SHORTLY. I READ A ARICLE IN THE LOCAL PAPER THAT THIS WAS A GM PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL GM CUSTOMER SUPPORT THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT GM APPROVAL. I CALLED GM AND WAS TOLD AFTER REVIEWING MY SITUATION THAT THE TRUCK WAS TO OLD AND HAD TO MANY MILES. THIS IS A 1998 GMC SIERRA PICKUP WITH 93,000 MILES. IT HAD 78,000 MILES AT THE TIME THIS WAS DISCOVERED. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS PAID FOR BY GM AND REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR I PAID FOR ALREADY.

DT: CONSUMER HEARD SOMETHING POP PING AND FELL INTO THE STREET. CONSUMER HAD NO BRAKES IN THE REAR. IN THE FRONT THE BRAKE DISC WAS BADLY PITTED BECAUSE OF THE POOR QUALITY OF ALLOY.

THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 8,000 MILES ON IT. THIS HAPPENED WHILE SLOWING DOWN BETWEEN 10 AND 15 MPH.*AK
