| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Since car was purchased i have complained of poor braking when wheels are wet due to rain,snow or car wash..complained to 2 different dealerships who acknowledged that gm is having brake problems on some models,and there is nothing they can replace to improve the design of the brakes and refused to even take wheels off to check pads and rotors unless i agreed to pay for inspection...after filing previous complaint with nhtsa website,i was contacted by gm for a tech serv bulletin/recall to cut away a piece of the fender liner, engineers said would fix trouble..i brought car to mcguire chevy in marshfied, mass to have recall performed and have noticed no improvement..this design flaw is an accident waiting to happen..at highway speeds,it's always a mystery how hard i'll have to apply brake pedal pressure,and how long i'll have to wait before car actually slows down!...in this day and age to have a major car company at a loss as to how to make a car stop consistently with 4 wheel discs should be criminal,or at the very least negligent!!! gm should be forced to correct this problem immediately! this car will be out of bumper to bumper warranty in february of 2002. please help. *ak |
