NHTSA complaint: 2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE — SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES STOPPED WORKING WITH NO WARNING!!! UNBELIEVABLE, THANK GOD I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND ABLE TO VERY GENTLY COME TO A STOP BY MASHING ON THE BRAKES AND HITTING A PARKING CURB. AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A CASE YOU HAVE OPENED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN WILL THERE BE A RECALL? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE? HAS SOMEONE DIED FROM THIS? WE'LL PROBABLY NEVER KNOW BECAUSE WHO WOULD THINK THE BRAKE LINES WOULD JUST GO LIKE THAT. AGAIN, NO WARNING, NO LIGHTS, STILL NO INDICATOR LIGHT ON!!! I APOLOGIZE FOR MY EXCITEMENT BUT I'M JUST SHOCKED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IT HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED. I CONSIDER HITTING THE CURB TO STOP MY VEHICLE A "CRASH". I KNOW IT DOESN'T COMPARE TO REAL CRASHES BUT GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES. . . *TR
