Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Brake hose in engine compartment developed pinhole leak due to heavy rust. Brake pedal went to the floor. Brake bleeder screws rusted solid- can't bleed lines after repairs. It appears that inferior quality metal brake lines were used that rust easily. This is a very low mileage vehicle. This is a very common problem with these trucks and GM needs to held accountable, and a recall should be issued as very serious crashes may occur.”
