2000 GMC 1500 SIERRA 47,357 MILES HAD A RECALL ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THEY CLEANED AND ETCHED FRONT BRAKE LINES AT THE CALIPERS. TODAY TOWING A TRAILER WITH A CAR IN THE I-95 CORRIDOR BETWEEN D.C. AND BALTIMORE I HAD TO ATTEMPT A QUICK STOP FOR SLOW TRAFFIC WHEN SUDDENLY I LOST ALL BREAKING PRESSURE AND FORTUNATELY ENDED AT THE INNER GRASS SPACE BARELY SAVING A HORRIBLE CRUSH WITH SEVERAL CARS LINED IN FRONT OF ME. MY FRONT RESERVOIR WAS VERY LOW, UNDERNEATH THE CAR AT THE DRIVER'S DOOR LEVEL ALL 4 BREAK LINES WERE BADLY SWOLLEN AND CORRODED,ONE AT LEAST WAS OBVIOUSLY DRIPPING,AND EVEN THE FRAME WAS CORRODED AND METAL CHUNKS WERE EASILY KNOCKED. OTHER SECTIONS LOOK VERY RUSTY WORSE THAN A 65 FORD GALAXIE AM RESTORING .AND THIS AT ALMOST 48,000 MILES . *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 PICKUP FROM LONE STAR PONTIAC BUICK GMC IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS ON 11/18/06. ONLY AFTER BEING PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING DID I REALIZE THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT CALIBRATED CORRECTLY AFTER THE DEALERSHIP HAD INSTALLED AN AFTER-MARKET LIFT KIT AND LARGE TIRES AND WHEELS ON THIS TRUCK. I DISCOVERED BY CALLING ANOTHER GM DEALER THAT BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT CALIBRATED CORRECTLY IT CAUSES THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE DEALERSHIP WILLFULLY AND WITHOUT REGARD TO THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS SOLD VEHICLES LIKE MINE THAT HAD BRAKE SYSTEMS THAT DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE GENERAL MANAGER CONFIRMED THAT THEY HAVE SOLD MANY TRUCKS LIKE THIS SO IT IS REASONABLE TO ASSUME THERE ARE MANY TRUCKS ON THE ROAD NOW WHICH MAY HAVE FAULTY ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMS. I AM CONCERNED FOR EVERYONE ELSE THAT PURCHASED ONE OF THESE TRUCKS AND AREN'T AWARE THEIR BRAKES DON'T WORK RIGHT. THE GENERAL MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE SPEEDOMETERS CAN NOT BE CALIBRATED CORRECTLY. *JB
