2003 Chevrolet Avalanche. The consumer stated the brakes faded at 25000 miles. While sitting in traffic they will go to the floor. The dealership cannot duplicate the problem. These were the original brakes for the vehicle. This has not caused any injury or accidents. This started on June 15, 2005.
After green light and I crossing main road north on paxton st. Advancing at aprox. 30 mph a truck in front stopped quickly to make a 'u' turn on paxton and I slammed my brakes at least 400 feet away but my truck didn't stop and crashed to the back of the other truck. My insurance paid for repairs of other vehicle but fearing premium increase I didn't claim the extensive damage on my avalanche truck. As of today I haven't received a recall from gm about repairs needed on my trucks abs braking system. Police report available and bob watson Chevrolet dealer knows about my trucks damage.
When the consumer applied the brakes the pedal went down to the floor and there were no brakes. This forced the driver to pull off the road. Returned usps, 2nd attempt made 10/16/07 failed .
