At 35258 i reported a rubbing noise to the dealer when appling the brakes, however, they could not duplicate the problem? At 41885 mi. The fnt.

I, at this time had enough and contacted the manufacture to explain the problems. I was assigned a file #99064957 and sent off a letter dated 04/04/99 to gmc customer assistance center-p. O. Box 436008-mail code 483631830-pontiac, michigan 48343-attension; stephanie gilmore. The manufacture told me they would take care of the cost of the parts and would advise me if they would pay for the labor and my car rental. Well, that never happened ! At 60274 the fnt.
