| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The brakes on this vehicle in my opinion do not work properly. i have numerous incidents where the truck fails to stop in a timely fashion or distance. one of these incidents has resulted in an accident where i rear ended a vehicle soon after i bought the truck. i have complained to the dealer and brought the truck to independent mechanics seeking resolution. the latest of these incidents occurred with my family in the truck and a car backed out and stopped forcing me to use two feet on the brake to try to stop the vehicle, if the car had not moved i would have definitely hit him. i believe this vehicle is unsafe . i have said as much in a satisfaction questionare to chevy and asked for a written response and have never received one. i am dismayed to not find my vehicle in the recall of gm vehicles. i am concerned for my safety and that of those around me when i am operating this vehicle. i hope the problem with this truck is resolved before someone is hurt. *ak |
