Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Brakes are woefully inadequate with or without abs coming into play. i've had numerous incidents where i could not stop this vehicle in a normal stopping distance because of either abs kicking in from a single tire bounce while stopping on uneven road surfaces or when the truck was loaded, such as when hauling heavy material or pulling a loaded trailer. the front disc pads for this truck are exceedingly undersized when compared against a similar weighted sedan (5300lbs) and sedans aren't expected to haul 1/2 ton loads. i have accidentally traveled through intersections trying to stop this vehicle several times. luckily never hitting anyone or getting hit but very disturbed. i understand there are two recall campaign programs slated for this vehicle by gm (99i006000 and 99v193000) but per my dealer gm is several months away from having any parts or corrections for this. |
