Description of the problem | Today i was on freeway in bumper to bumper traffic and when i went to stop my brakes fluttered and made a weird noise and i pushed with all my strength on brake pedal to stop and wasn't able to stop like 25 other cars in my life would have stopped and rear ended a minivan, there was minimal damage done to his van, my bumper has a little dent and his van has a small scratch, this i the third time in last week this has happened with the first 2 me thinking it was nothing because it only happens maybe 1 out of every 300 brake applications, i came home today and did some research on google and found out there are 1000s of trucks like mine with the abs activating at low speeds causing crashes, i called gm and asked a few questions and all they said was my vin does not qualify for abs or brake recall gm had on these yr trucks. If my truck is doing the same thing as these trucks that qualified for recall why wont they fix mind because obviously its same problem, the gm guy i spoke with played dumb and act like he has never heard of someone having my issue, he is lying because there is tons of people on these gm forums that have called gm with same problem as mine with same results, please help me or let me know what recourses i have to have gm fix this abs issues before someone gets killed, thank you |
