Example complaints
Brakes: “Problem 1, brakes: the ABS system states in the owners manual that in the event of an ABS failure the braking system will revert back to a non ABS mode. In my case the ABS pump is stuck in the dump mode whick fesults in all pressure being lost to the reaf brakes. This was a very dangerous situation. The local Gmc dealer, riverside motors, indicated that there is pressure to the rear brakes and that the ABS is just dissabled. With new rear shoes properly installed and adjusted the rear whells will spin freely with the brakes applied. …”
