| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Limited recall limits my safety! i had a recent close call in my 1996 gmc suburban. the brakes began to anti-lock on dry pavement when anti-lock assistance was not required, thus greatly increasing my stopping distance. the brakes were not pressed hard; the anti-lock should not have engaged. it was a close call between my truck and the vehicle in front of me. currently my suburban is not covered under gm's recent limited recall. however, attention needs to be given to this situation; my truck needs to be covered. my concern is not a trivial, my safety and the safety of others is at hand. gm should be more than happy to take care of a safety issue. i recently read an article in the detroit news about gm's recall of 1.4 million 99-02 full size trucks and suv's in 20 states. the recall concerns the anti-lock brake wheel hub sensor getting inaccurate readings. the article brought the severity and critical importance of this recall and my problem to my attention. proper recall procedures need to cover all vehicles affected, not limited by mileage, age, or location. safety needs to be the main concern, not a political or financial agenda of automakers. thank you for your prompt attention to my concerns. *nm..updated 07/01/14 *bf |
