SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT A RATE OF 20 MPH AND STARTED STOPPING AND NOTICE THE BRAKES WHERE GOING OUT. I HAD THEN LOST BRAKE PRESSURE ALTOGETHER. USED THE PARKING BRAKE TO GET STOPPED AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY LOCAL INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND HE CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND ALL THE BRAKE LINES TO BE RUSTED OUT, AND HAD LOST ALL BRAKE FLUID. UPON FINDING THIS HE FOUND THE MAJORITY OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE TO HAVE SEVERE RUST DAMAGE AN SEVERAL PARTS ALSO. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE WIRING AND PLUG GOING TO THE FAN MOTOR ON THE INSIDE CAB OF MY 2006 GMC TRUCK. THIS TRUCK HAS 43000 MILES ON IT AND CARRIED IT IN TO BE FIXED AND WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THIS IS A HAZARD. THIS PLUG HAS BEEN GOING BAD FOR SOME TIME NOW BECAUSE I COULD SMELL THE ODOR IN THE TRUCK BUT COULD NOT PINPOINT WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. AFTER THE FAN MOTOR STOPPED WORKING I TRACED THE PROBLEM DOWN TO THE PLUG AND FOUND WHERE IT HAD BEEN MELTING AWAY. THIS IS WHEN I DROVE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A DEFECT AND NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE A WARRANTY ISSUE. THIS PLUG GOT VERY HOT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND MELTED IT COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE. *TR
