| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 10 days ago my 1995 gmc jimmy did not stop, it skidded. i have, on many occasions, called gmc regarding the abs braking system, it did not work all the time and when it didn't it would make a grinding noise and take a longer time to stop. gmc had assured me and my husband that there were no recalls on the system. on july 15 we were traveling on a local road and the car in front of us stopped short. we were going 20-25 mph and hit the brakes, but the brakes again failed, although we had sufficient time to stop, we skidded into the car in front of us and there was property damage and i hurt my neck and back. on the day after the accident we called gmc again regarding the failure of the brakes and were told there was no recall, and they couldn't do anything. today, july 26, we received a copy of the recall from a friend who owns a auto repair station. gmc was supposed to have contacted people in 1999. we were never contacted. y husband was a professional truck driver for 30 years and has not had an accident until now. our insurance rates will go up and this is the fault of gmc.*ak |
