| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In the early hours of monday august 29, upon arriving home, we were pulling into our driveway at about 10 miles per hour in our 2002 chevrolet silverado, the anti-lock brakes engaged and we had difficulty coming to a stop and almost hit our garage door. on tuesday august 30th , my husband was pulling into a parking space at work going approx 5-10 miles per hour and the anti-lock brakes engaged, causing him not to be able to stop and hitting another persons car across from him in a parking space. in talking to a co-worker about what the anti-lock brakes were doing she directed me to this website to check if there were any recalls. on august 29th, there was a recall notice issued about this very problem. we called our local dealership, cody chevrolet in montpelier, vt. they told us to pull the fuse on the anti-lock brakes until we could bring in the truck on thursday, sept 1 to have the problem corrected. the other person's car that was struck by our truck took their car to get an estimate, which came back at $688. i called gm to get them to pay for it. they keep saying they need to investigate this further. my concern is that rather than hitting a parked car, my husband could have hit a person. he could have been traveling downtown at a slow rate of speed, come to a person crossing a crosswalk, the anti-lock breaks could have engaged and he could have struck a person. gm has told me that the recall is not being released until there are enough parts available at which time it will be released to owners in january in vin # order. i feel that this could be a potential public safety hazard. i also feel gm has an obligation to pay the damage done to the other vehicle, especially since our local dealership fixed the problem at no cost to us based on the recall. *jb |
