| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My family and i were traveling down a highway in florida and were traveling about 50 mph and a line of vehicles in front of us stopped, not real fast, but they stopped and we were about 80 yards in back of them and when i applied my brake petal the car just didn't want to stop. it was skidding all along, squealing tires, until i lost control of it and started to fishtail. about 1 foot more or so, we would have been in a major accident! i didn't slam them on or anything. it was kind of a sudden stop, but not really too sudden. all of the vehicles around us stopped prefectly normal. i've driven many vehicles and have never experienced this! my car is still under warrenty, however i have never taken it in. i think i should though. but still, general morors and chevrolet should be ashamed of themselves for releasing a dangerous vehicle like this! another small complaint i have, which is not necessarly a safety concern, is the fact that the steering is rather poor on this vehicle. when you go around turns, you have a make an effort to turn the steering wheel and get the car going straight again. i am a firm believer that new cars should be better than old one's, however my experiences have obviously proven that they're not. thank you for reading my complaint. i hope you can get this information out to the public and maybe then gm can make changes. |
