SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. A/C ONLY WORKS ON HIGH. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS 3 TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF 5 MONTHS. MECHANIC MENTIONED THAT GMC IS AWARE OF THE BRAKE WEAR PROBLEM AND OFFERS VARIOUS SOLUTIONS. NONE OF WHICH WORK. WHY IS THIS ISSUE NOT MADE CLEAR WHEN PURCHASING THE VEHICLE! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
A DAY OR TWO AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE I WAS IN A CRAMPED PARKING LOT AND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE GOING FORWARD AND ONCE IN REVERSE BEFORE I REALIZED THAT MY FOOT WAS PARTLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PARTLY ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST EIGHT TIMES SINCE THEN. I HAVE FOUND THAT IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN I AM WEARING WIDE SOLED WORK SHOES. (GMC MARKETS THIS VEHICLE AS A WORK TRUCK.) THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHICH CAUSED ME TO NEARLY TRAP A WOMAN WHO WAS STANDING BEHIND HER CAR IN A GAS STATION. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BUT SHE AND I WERE BOTH VISIBLY SHAKEN BY THE INCIDENT. I REPORTED THE CONDITION TO THE DEALER FROM WHOM I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BUT THE RESPONSE WAS THAT I SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL. *TR
