I AM WRITING TO YOU TO DETAIL AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH NO BRAKE PRESSURE OR VERY LITTLE FOR MONTHS NOW AND IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 I TOOK THE CAR TO A SHOP TO HAVE THE BRAKES CHECKED. THE SHOP TOLD ME THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST AND I ALLOWED THEM TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER. WHEN I DROVE THE CAR HOME IT SEEMED AS IF THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN CORRECTED. HOWEVER, I HAD AN APPT WITH MY DR. AND HAD NO ISSUE GETTING THERE. LEAVING THE APPT AND ONTO THE FREEWAY HOME AND I NOTICED AGAIN BRAKE PRESSURE HAD BECOME LACKING AGAIN. I GOT OFF THE MAJOR FREEWAY AND TOOK SIDESTREET HOME AND AS I GOT EVEN CLOSER TO HOME THE SAME ISSUE HAD RETURNED. I HAD ALMOST NO BRAKE PRESSURE AND BY THE TIME I GOT AROUND THE CORNER FROM MY HOME THE LOW BRAKE FLUID INDICATOR HAD COME ON. THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. THERE WERE NO LEAKS OF BRAKE FLUID FROM THIS VEHICLE BEFORE. I WOULD NOTICE SUCH A LEAK . TAKING IT BACK TO THE SHOP THE NEXT MORNING THE SHOP FOREMAN INDICATED TO ME THAT IT WAS NOW THE ABS UNIT WHICH WAS NOW LEAKING BRAKE FLUID AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $1500.00. I CHECKED INTO A RECALL FOR THIS ABS LEAKING ISSUE AND NOT ONLY CALLED GM BUT CHECKED MY VIN WITH THE DATABASE AND NOW I AM BEING ADVISED THAT THIS VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL LIST FOR THE SAME ISSUE THAT OVER 8147 UNITS HAVE HAD. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH OTHER VEHICLES SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR WHY I AM NOW FORCED TO NOW BE WITHOUT A CAR SINCE I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS ABS MODULE AT THIS SPECIFIC RIDICULOUS COST AND I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR BEING THE HUGE SAFETY HAZARD IT IS BEING WITHOUT PROPER BRAKES. I CANNOT GET MY CAR TO PASS UTAH STATE INSPECTION EITHER WHICH MEANS I CANNOT LICENSE THE CAR FOR THE YEAR. I CANT GET TO WORK OR ANYWHERE ELSE I COULD KILL SOMEONE OR MYSELF WITH NO BRAKES. *TR

TRYING TO GET LOCAL GM DEALER TO RESPOND TO RECALL NOTICE AND SAY THAT IT WILL BE DECEMBER BEFORE THEY CAN RESPOND. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH BOB STALL CHEVROLET HERE IN LA MESA, CA. THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR AN HOUR AND LIED TO ME AND AFTER WAITING WITH NO RESPONSE FOR AN HOUR, I WENT TO RETRIEVE MY CAR AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY $50 TO GET 3 KEYS AS MY KEYS WERE NOT THE RIGHT ONES. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 13 YEARS AND HAVE USED THE KEYS GIVEN TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. THEY HAVE ALWAYS WORKED AND I HAVE NEVER HAD DIFFERENT KEYS MADE. I RETRIEVED MY CAR AND KEYS AND CAME HOME. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE CALLED THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER TWICE----BOTH TIMES I WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK IN LESS THAN AN HOUR. I RECEIVED NO CALL BACKS. I THEN TRIED CALLING THE VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AND WAS TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT AGENTS THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK BEFORE THE END OF BUSINESS. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A CALL BACK. IS THERE SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP ME? I AM A 72 YEAR OLD WIDOW AND HATE BEING FORCED TO DRIVE A CAR WITH SAFETY CONCERNS AND SINCE I ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 50 MILES PER YEAR, I DON'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN A CRASH BUT THAT REMAINS A POSSIBILITY SINCE NO ONE SEEMS ABLE TO HELP ME. THANK YOU AND I HOPE TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE SOON. *TR
