Brakes failed while approaching intersection causing vehicle to come to stop in the middle of intersection. Applied brakes lightly while approaching the intersection, and when appling brakes harder, to come to complete stop, they went to the floor, causing vehicle to roll into intersection before stopping almost being broadsided. My wife had the same failure on two other occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the brakes feeling spongy on two other occasions and we were told ,"the brakes are working normal" after the near accident on 6/7/05 it was taken to the dealer again and I was told by the service manager that they would bleed the brakes and that they would contact gm about the problem . The service manager told me to get rid of the truck as the brakes could not be repaired. I filed a claim with gm that evening and they got back to me on 6/10/05 saying there was nothing they would do to fix the problem.

Upon attempting to back up from a parked position, an audible "pop" was heard by the vehicle operator and three bystanders. The vehicle then stopped motion after about five feet of travel as the right rear wheel was locked up. Upon visual on-the-spot inspection by company mechanic, it was obvious the casting attached to the axle end which acts as the support for both the brake caliper and the parking brake had "exploded" with a large piece shooting onto the ground and other pieces jamming up in the drum part of the rotor assembly causing the lock-up. Vehicle immovable, was flatbeded to the selling dealer. Repair was made by replacing all affected components with new, and we were billed even though vehicle was well with-in its original warranty based on service managers assumption that we (the operators) had somehow contributed to the failure. Telecom complaint to gm cust. Assistance, (file no, 1-299810112) returned same results. It is our contention that this critical part failed of its own accord either through defect or design, and that we were extremely lucky that this happened in our parking lot and not on a highway at 55 mph. Vehicle operator has lost confidence in the safety of this equipment without a valid explanation and corrective action to a permanent remedy.
