SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I PURCHASED THIS TERRAIN AS THE 99 GMC PICKUP THAT I PURCHASED FROM SHEEHAN HAD 3 TOTAL BRAKE FAILURES AND A POWER STEERING COOLER FAIL ALL DUE TO CORROSION. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE 99 AFTER THE 3RD TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2011. SINCE THEN DUE TO CORROSION THEY REPLACED ALL THE WHEELS ON THE VEHICLE AND THE OTHER DAY I STARTED SMELLING GASOLINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SHEEHAN. THEY FOUND A FUEL LINE UNDER THE VEHICLE LEAKING AS IT HAD RUSTED THROUGH. I ASKED THE SERVICE PERSON WHAT THEY DID TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THEY REPLACE THE FUEL LINE WITH THE SAME TYPE THAT HAD JUST RUSTED THROUGH. I ASKED THEM WHY THEY DID NOT USE STAINLESS STEEL. I WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT DO THAT. I NOW DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT EVEN BEEN PAID OFF YET AND ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 7000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEGUN SHOPPING FOR A NON-GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE AS I DO NOT FEEL SAVE DRIVING THIS ONE. *TR
