Description of the problem | This vehicle was sold as having a tow pkg with the capability of pulling a 3500 lb trailer. There is no brake harness available on this car (a separate cab brake control is a legal requirement in every state based on tow loads, michigan is 3000 lbs.) dealership acknowledges they can't locate it, we have a complaint filed with gm 8-3144268897 i feel this is definitely a safety issue which could cause a crash or injury or death. We have had many trailers and recognize that this cab brake controller is a necessity in pulling a trailer. People who have never pulled a trailer before might not know this |
