| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We own a 2001 gmc yukon xl which is under recall for defective anti-lock brake system. we bought the car used with 100,000 miles on it. the car originally came from michigan; however, we live in tn. the car does not stop when you are traveling at low speeds. there have been countless instances where our car hasn't stopped and we have traveled into oncoming traffic. thankfully, we haven't had an accident involving another vehicle yet. when driving my son to school this morning, we had ice on our roads and it was even more impossible to stop...i worry that with winter conditions, and the need to drive slower, the possibility of an accident with this vehicle will increase. i had heard about the recall months ago on the local news and was worried why we hadn't received our notice. my husband and i have called gmc dealerships in tn repeatedly, but no one would help us until we received a notice from gmc. when i returned home this morning, on friday, december 16, i called the gmc recall information line and spoke with a representative there. i was first informed that my car doesn't qualify for the recall because it has high mileage and is not presently in a northern state. the fact that there is no gmc maintenance record on file was also an issue. i felt that the mileage and the fact that it's not in a northern state now shouldn't affect whether the car qualifies, i was told that it wasn't those factors after all, and that the vin number on our vehicle is traced and they felt no defective part had been placed in our particular vehicle originally. i was informed that any help from gmc for repairs would be on a goodwill basis only and that i would probably be better off taking the vehicle to a cheaper, independently owned car repair shop and have the repairs done myself. i feel gmc is responsible for these repairs. i feel if we lived in michigan, our car would already have been repaired and that gmc is using that fact to get out of funding the work. *jb |
