1999 GMC SIERRA — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

DT: THE CALLER SAID AT SPEEDS 3-10 MPH THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES WOULD KICK IN, AND THE CONSUMER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. SHE SAID THERE WAS A RECALL AND SHE HAD THE RECALL WORK DONE. THE CALLER HAD THE HUBS WERE REPLACED ONCE LESS THAN TWO YEARS AGO AT MANUFACTURER'S S EXPENSE. DEALER SAID THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE HUB AND THAT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO HELP FOR FREE. SHE SAID HER HUSBAND HAS HAD A CLOSE CALL WITH A WALL. HE STOPPED IN TIME. SHE SAID THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PUT IN PARK ONCE TO GET VEHICLE TO STOP. THE TRUCK WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER THE DAY AFTER THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED TO HAVE THE HUBS REPLACED., WHICH THE DEALER TOLD HER THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. GM REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE HUBS EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE DOCUMENTED PROBLEM IN THE RECALL. WHEN THE MECHANIC WAS PULLING THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP, THE BRAKES FAILED AND HE CRASHED. THE BUMPER, THE CHROME ON THE GRILL, THE FOG LIGHT, AND THE PIECE BELOW THE BUMPER WERE DAMAGED. THE DEALER SAYS HE WILL PAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *AK *JB
