  ON APRIL 2 2015 I EXPERIENCED "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" WHILE TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO URGENT CARE. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD OVER $2000 WORK WITH MANY DIFFERENT REPAIRMEN INVOLVED. GM ADVISED THEY WERE SORRY BUT NO RECALLS - NOTHING THEY WOULD DO TO HELP. NUMEROUS TIMES, WE HAVE COME CLOSE TO BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN IT OCCURS. WE WILL BE DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED, HEAR A BING AND SEE REDUCED ENGINE POWER FLASH ON DISPLAY. VEHICLE WILL IMMEDIATELY GO FROM ORIGINAL SPEED TO NO MORE THAN 30-40 MPH - NO WARNING. IT IS UNSAFE TO BE ON A BUSY ROAD AS ANYONE COULD REAR END US, KILLING MY FAMILY

  ONE OF THE OWNERS OF THE CAR WAS DRIVING IT TO WORK WHEN THE CAR STOPPED PULLING AND WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, ON A FEW OCCASIONS THE CAR HAD TO GET A JUMP FROM ANOTHER CAR TO START. LAST, THE LIGHTER DID NOT WORK. WHEN THE OWNER GOT OFF WORK IN THE MORNING HE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED. LATER THAT DAY THE OWNER WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND THE PART WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE OWNER WAS ALSO TOLD THAT HE COULD NOT GET A RENTAL CAR. THE NEXT DAY THE OWNER WAS TOLD THAT HEADQUARTERS DIDN'T WANT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BUT HE COULD GET A RENTAL. LATER IN THE WEEK THE OWNER WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE RENTAL CAR BACK AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT GOING TO PAY FOR THE RENTAL. THE OWNER WAS ALSO TOLD THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY $3500.00 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. AFTERWARDS, THE OWNER SPOKE TO SOMEONE AT HEADQUARTERS AND THEY SAID THE OWNER WOULD HAVE TO PAY AT LEAST $1500.00. THE OWNER DOES NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND BELIEVES HE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS DUE TO THE FACT THE CAR IS NOT THREE YEARS OLD UNTIL THE END OF JANUARY. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE RIGHT REAR UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARM WERE BAD FROM THE FACTORY. THE PARTS WERE ORDERED AND REPLACED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER BEING SERVICED THE TECHNICIAN DIDN'T COVER THE SEAT WHILE WORKING AND GOT OIL ON THE SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE SEAT WITH A SEAT ON THEIR LOT. THE CONSUMER NEVER AUTHORIZED THEM TO DO THAT. NOW THE SEAT IS MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE.

THE SEAT IS STILL BROKEN. THE DEALER ALSO REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH IS NOW MAKING NOISE. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE STEERING BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THAT THE REPLACEMENT IS NOISIER THAN THE ORIGINAL. THE DASH HAS BEGUN TO PEEL.

• 11/15/2011· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  RECENTLY, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2006 YUKON DENALI XL W/ A 6.0 ENGINE. THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED A GAS CAP PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A CLICKING SOUND. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. WHILE IN THE SHOP, THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED 2 BOLTS THAT WERE BROKEN ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND IT WAS FOUND THAT ONE OF THE BOLTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BROKEN, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS NOT YET LEAKING. THE AUTO SHOP WAS ABLE TO EXTRACT ONE OF THE BOLTS, BUT HAS FOUND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE OTHER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WITHOUT PULLING THE ENGINE. THIS IS A NECESSARY REPAIR BECAUSE IMPROPER EXHAUST IS A DIRECT VIOLATION OF EPA STANDARDS. FURTHERMORE, ENGINE FIRES CAN RESULT FROM THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER GM VEHICLE OWNERS WITH A SIMILAR EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT PROBLEM. IN FACT, THERE IS A VIDEO CREATED BY CARQUESTIONS ON THIS EXACT ISSUE. THE FOLLOWING IS THE LINK TO THIS VIDEO HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=0YG6WLBNZGI , GM SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND CONSIDER A RECALL OF GM VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM, NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT IS VERY COSTLY TO THE CONSUMER, BUT IS ALSO AN EPA AND SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

  IN A CAMPING SITUATION WE COULD ONLY EXIT FROM THE REAR HATCH AND IT COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. ALSO, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK THE MECHANISM WOULD NOT UNLOCK THE HATCH. THIS WAS A VERY UNSAFE SCENARIO - LOCKED IN THE CAR WITH NO DOOR EXIT. FINALLY, CLIMBED FROM THE WINDOW. ONCE HOME WE REALIZED HOW THIS WAS SUCH A BAD ISSUE SO WE DID RESEARCH. APPARENTLY SINCE 2006 ALL SUBURBAN, YUKONS, AND DENALIS HAVE THIS RECURRING ISSUE COMPOUNDING THE ALREADY UNSAFE DESIGN OF NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN REAR HATCH FROM THE INTERIOR. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW ALONG WITH A POORLY FUNCTIONING LOCKING MECHANISM. THIS WILL END UP IN A FUTURE FATALITY. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. THERE ARE HOMEMADE FIXES ON THE INTERNET THAT MAY ALSO CAUSE NEW ISSUES.

THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED AN ON-SCREEN DRIVING TEST, BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE FAILURE CODES. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (JOHN PAUL'S GMC, GREENFIELD, WI, 414-482-6246) AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT DUPLICATED BECAUSE THE DEALER USED THE SAME DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM AS THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC.

  MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CAR LOST POWER TO 30 MPH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 5 MPH.I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TRYING TO GAIN SPEED WITHOUT SUCCESS THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 30 MPH, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASHBOARD I SAW TWO WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF "STABILITY SYS DISABLED" FOLLOWED BY "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO SAFETY. THE ROAD WAS DRY AND NO BUMPS TO DISABLE STABILITY. THE TRACTION CONTROL IN THIS VEHICLE IS LOCATED FAR FROM MY STEERING WHEEL SO I KNOW I DID NOT ACCIDENTLY HIT THE TRACTION CONTROL BY ACCIDENT. AFTER I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER I WAS ADVISED TO HIT THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON TO SEE IF THAT WOULD FIX THE ERROR IN THE DASH. THAT DID NOT WORK. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY. THE DEALER HAS HAD MY FOR SEVERAL DAYS RETURNED MY CAR BACK ONCE STATING THAT IT WAS DUE TO MASTER AIR FLOW SENSOR ALONG WITH THE AIR FILTER ONCE THOSE PARTS WERE REPLACED I PICKED UP MY CAR AS SOON AS I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE IT AROUND THE CORNER I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. I DROVE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AT 5 MPH AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO ANY FASTER NO MATER HOW MUCH I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. 2ND TIME THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME I WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST THE BUTTERFLY IN THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT IT WAS REPLACED FOR A NEW ONE. I WAS DRIVING AWAY AND GOT JUST A LITTLE FARTHER THAN THE FIRST TIME WHEN I GOT THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE AGAIN I DROVE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY THEY REPLACED THAT BUT ITS STILL HAVING ISSUES. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING I WANT THIS NOTED IN CASE THERE IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH FATALITIES.

I UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR OFFICE HAS INVESTIGATED THIS AND FOR WHATEVER REASON DETERMINED IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR BUT I THINK THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT IS ON OVERLOAD AND DIDN'T WANT TO HANDLE ANOTHER GM RECALL. GM AND CONSUMERS KNOW THAT THE COMPANY GOT AWAY WITH NOT ISSUING A RECALL. YES, I AM ANGRY AT THE $800 WE HAD TO PAY TO REPAIR THIS BUT I AM MORE ANGRY THAT AFTER GM WAS CONTACTED FOR REIMBURSEMENT I GOT NO WHERE AND THEY WERE SNARKY AND ADMITTED AS MUCH THAT THEY WEREN'T MADE TO BE RESPONSIBLE. AGAIN, I ASK THAT YOU REOPEN THIS INVESTIGATION ON BEHALF OF CONSUMERS. AFTERALL, IF IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND AN INDUSTRY WIDE PROBLEM WHY IS IT ONLY GM CARS. YES, I LIVE IN PA BUT I LIVE IN SOUTHERN PA WHERE WE DON'T TYPICALLY GET ALOT OF SNOWY OR ICY WEATHER. MY CAR IS GARAGE PARKED AND ONLY DRIVEN ABOUT 6000 MILES PER YEAR. AND THE BRAKE LINES RUSTED?

• 10/30/2022· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  My GMC YukonXL Denali has faulty fuel gauges therefore there is no way I can determine if I'm are out of gas or not. Sometimes it displays that my tank is on empty and sometimes it display that I am full. I found online that over time, the contacts in the fuel-level sensor could wear and cause an incorrect reading on the gas gauge. In 2011 GM said that they would pay to repair.

  2006 GMC YUKON XL - PURCHASED IN JAN. 2006, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE 1 MONTH AFTER TAKING DELIVERY FOR FOUL SMELL EMITTING FROM VEHICLE WHILE MOVING. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL PRODUCING THE ODOR, THEY CHANGED THE FLUID TO THE OLD SYNTHETIC TYPE, AND CLAIMED IT WAS THE SMELL OF THE GRAPE SEED EXTRACT USED IN THE ORGANIC NEW TYPE FLUID. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, THE NEXT TIME THE SERVICE CENTER TRIED AN OIL WHICH HAD A HIGHER HEAT RATING, THIS DID NOT FIX THE SMELL PROBLEM. ON THE 4TH VISIT TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND AFTER OPENING A CUSTOMER CLAIMS CASE WITH GM, THEY REBUILT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THIS SEEMED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 6-8 MONTHS, THE SMELL RETURNED AND GOT SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE UNTIL I OPENED ANOTHER CASE WITHGM CUSTOMER CLAIMS. WHILE WORKING WITH THEM THE DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE LEAVING ME TO RENT A CAR ON MY OWN UNTIL GM DECIDED WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. I AM CURRENTLY IN A BBB CASE WITH GM.

OVER THE LAST MONTH I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL SUDDENLY LOSE ALMOST ALL POWER. THE INFORMATION CENTER WILL DISPLAY THE MESSAGES: "STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED", "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MPH ON A LEVEL SURFACE AND BEARLY 3 MPH UP A MODERATELY STEEP HILL. EACH TIME I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR THEY HAVE BEEEN STUMPED BY WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS. THEY SAID THAT GM/GMC TOLD THEM THAT "GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT AT THIS TIME". HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER SELL A VEHICLE THAT HAS A DEFECT AND NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT? WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT IN A BUSY INTERSECTION OR ON A HIGHWAY THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM.

• 10/15/2013· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I NOTICED A GASOLINE ODOR COMING FROM MY FUEL TANK AREA, I IMMEDIATELY HAD A MECHANIC INSPECT THE ISSUE AS I WAS FEARING A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. UPON INSPECTION HE FOUND THE FUEL LINES TO THE FUEL PUMP TO HAVE DISINTEGRATED AND SPEWING FUEL . THE FUMES AND FUEL WERE DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND I FEAR THAT I JUST NARROWLY AVERTED DISASTER. FURTHER INSPECTION BY THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE ALSO ABOUT TO RUST THROUGH AND THE EFFECT OF THAT WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC IN A HIGHWAY OR ANY HARD BRAKING SITUATION THAT COULD INITIATE ENOUGH PRESSURE TO CAUSE THE LINES TO BURST. I AM VERY UPSET THAT GMC HASN'T APPRISED OWNERS OF THIS HAZARDOUS AND LIFE THREATENING SITUATION WITH THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE REPLACED ALL AFFECTED COMPONENTS AND FEEL THAT THIS IS CAUSE FOR A RECALL AND REIMBURSEMENT FROM GMC BEFORE A CATASTROPHIC EVENT TAKES PLACE DUE TO BLATANT NEGLIGENCE OF THE MANUFACTURER. MY UNDERSTANDING IS MANY PEOPLE HAVE VOICED CONCERN OVER THIS AND GMC HAS TURNED A BLIND EYE. *TR

• 10/08/2015· ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC),SERVICE BRAKES

  THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 45 MPH ON SECONDARY ROAD WHEN ALL LIGHTS DIMMED AND THE VEHICLE POWER WENT DOWN TO ALMOST NOTHING. THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WENT OUT AND I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES, THEN RE-STARTED WHICH SEEMED TO HAVE RE-SET THINGS. IT RAN OK TO MY DESTINATION. BUT SINCE THEN (A YEAR OR SO) IT BOGS DOWN WHEN STARTING OUT FROM IDLE SUCH AS A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND THE LIGHTS DIM. AT THE SAME TIME, IT MAKES A GRINDING SOUND AS IF FROM THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDDLE BECOMES STIFF AS THOUGH IT IS TRYING TO OFFSET MY BRAKING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE STABILITY INDICATOR STATES "TRACTION ACTIVE". ONCE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AGAIN, IT WILL GO OFF AND THE VEHICLE WILL ACT NORMALLY. I DISCOVERED THAT MANUALLY OVER-RIDING THE TRACTION (SHUTTING IT OFF), IT ELIMINATES THE HESITATION. BUT IT STILL MAKES THE GRINDING/GROANING SOUND ALONG WITH THE BRAKE ISSUE. ONCE IS GETS UP TO SPEED, EVERYTHING IS FINE. ALL OF THIS IS JUST ON STARTING OUT AFTER A STOP. WE HAVE HEARD OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT RESOLVED. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUES TO MY KNOWLEDGE. IT IS A REAL DANGER WHEN TRYING TO START ONTO A HIGHWAY OR INTERSECTION.

THESE TIRES ARE OEM TIRES FROM GMC AND HAVE NEVER BEEN OFF THE VEHICLE FOR ANY REPAIRS ' ONLY REGULAR TIRE ROTATIONS. WE IMPACTED NO ROAD HAZARDS TO CAUSE THIS FAILURE AS WITNESSED BY THE FOLLOWING: 1.I OBSERVED NO ROAD HAZARDS PRIOR TO TIRE FAILURE. 2.GRANT - LES SCHWAB TIRE CENTER EMPLOYEE WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME AND OBSERVED NO ROAD HAZARDS. GRANT STOPPED TO ASSIST US WITH CHANGING THE TIRE. 3.THE TIRE BEAD WAS SEPARATED AND SIDEWALL SPLIT YET NO DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO THE WHEEL RIM AS NOTED BY REDDING, CA. WINGFOOT EMPLOYEES AND GRANT AND DON - LES SCHWAB TIRE CENTER EMPLOYEES. THE LOGIC BEING THAT IF A ROAD HAZARD CAUSED FAILURE OF THE BEAD IT WOULD HAVE DAMAGED THE RIM TOO. I HAVE PICTURES ON FILE. FROM WHAT WINGFOOT AND LES SCHWAB EMPLOYEES PLUS INTERNET ARTICLES TELL ME, THE FAILURE OF THIS TIRE WAS DUE TO A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. WITH THIS AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IN MIND, I REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES DESPITE STILL HAVING 50% TREAD LIFE LEFT ON THE GOODYEAR TIRES. THE DAMAGED TIRE WAS DROPPED OFF AT WINGFOOT, LLC REDDING, CALIFORNIA FOR FEDEX PICKUP TO THE GOODYEAR FACTORY FOR EXAMINATION. I HAVE RECEIVED A CLAIM DENIAL LETTER FROM GOODYEAR AFTER TIRE EXAMINATION STATING THAT OVER DEFLECTION CAUSED THE TIRE FAILURE. LOGIC DOES NOT HOLD TRUE FOR THIS DETERMINATION. IF TRAVELING ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY THE TIRE OVER DEFLECTION WOULD HAVE OCCURRED TO THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE DAMAGING IT AS WELL AS THE RIGHT REAR BUT ONLY THE RIGHT REAR TIRE SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. *TR

I HAD TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN COLUMBUS OHIO WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A PROBLEM IN THE STEERING COLUMN BUT NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $300 TO HAVE FIXED. THIS SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO THE TWO COMPLAINTS MADE 1/11/2010 NHTSA ID#10299018 AND 9/21/2015 NHTSA ID#10766680. THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY A DEALERSHIP NO QUESTIONS ASKED. I JUST DISCONNECT IT AT THE DASH AND PUT UP WITH THE YELLOW WARNING LIGHT. FOR A GM VEHICLE THAT LISTED FOR $58,735 11 YEARS AGO I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH GM. THE SUNROOF HAS NOT WORKED FOR YEARS ( A $1,000 FIX ITEM) REPLACED THE FAN BLOWER MOTOR (SOMEWHERE AROUND $400+) AND I ONLY HAVE 109,000 MILES ON IT.

• 07/02/2014· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC),SERVICE BRAKES

  WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE GOES INTO TRACTION CONTROL FOR NO REASON STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THE DISPLAY FLASHES TRACTION ACTIVE EVEN THOUGH THE PAVEMENT IS DRY AND FREE OF LOOSE DEBRIS. YOU HAVE TO LET THE ACCELERATOR GO AND RE-ACCELERATE TO DEACTIVATE THE TRACTION CONTROL, LEAVING YOU STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. GM HAD A RECALL FOR LARGE SUVS AND PICK-UPS WITH A VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THE DISPLAY FLASHED AN ABS FAULT BUT THE REPAIR FOR THAT RECALL WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS FOR THE TRACTION ACTIVE FAULT. ABS IS PART OF THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, SO JUST BECAUSE GM FOUND A WAY TO THROW A DIFFERENT CODE FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THEY'RE NOT OBLIGATED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT LEAVES YOU IN NO CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE MOVING FROM A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT OR DEAD FROM GETTING T-BONED BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET OUT THE WAY. *TR

  AFTER A FULL DAY OF DRIVING WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR I WENT OUT ON MY OWN TO GET HIM MEDICINE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT THE END OF MY BLOCK THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT FUNNY. I WENT TO THE NEXT STOP SIGN AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP AND MY VEHICLE WOULDN'T STOP. I ENDED UP ROLLING RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I REALIZED THERE WAS A BIG PROBLEM SO CRAWLED BACK TO MY DRIVEWAY. I THEN NOTICED THE WHOLE UNDERSIDE OF MY VEHICLE WAS WET AND NOW MY DRIVEWAY WAS SOAKED WITH BRAKE FLUID. ONE OF THE STEEL LINES BURST. AFTER I LOOKED AT THEM I NOTICED THEY ARE ALL RUSTED AND IN VERY BAD SHAPE. I NOW HAVE A MECHANIC HAVING TO REPLACE ALL THE BRAKE LINES IN THE CAR SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING MY 1 YEAR OLD AROUND WITH NO BRAKES. *TR
