Description of the problem | Gm has recalled several of its suvs and pickups due to a bad anti-lock brake design. This has occurred in canada and 14 us states of which minnesota is not included. This past fall i was having the described problems of the anti-lock brakes coming on whenever i was braking at slow speeds. This usually occurred at stop signs. I didn't feel safe with the brakes and the impending winter and decided to take it in to get fixed. They replaced a sensor saying it was bad and i paid ~$230 for the fix. Prior to getting it fixed i had onstar run diagnostics to see if there was a problem. After getting it fixed and hearing of the recall in canada i spoke with gm who said that they wouldn't do anything for me. Now with these 14 other states i am furious. It seems like they should be covering the costs of my repairs since i had the exact same problems. To pick and choose the states while compromising safety is absurd. Any information or recourse you could share would be appreciated. *nm |
