Was about to go shopping for christmas gifts, stepped on brake at top of court and the peddle went to floor. Not just loss of hydros full on brake malfunction , no brakes at all. I live in new york and truck was purchased from connecticut. Decided to make left turn and missed getting hit by 18 wheeler by inches. I am lucky to be alive to be typing this now, no thanks to gm. No warning lights nothing at all just no brakes. To add emergency brake did not work.
I was traveling close to my home and was making a left turn on a country road. I went to apply my brakes with no result. The peddle went all the way to the floor. I shifted the vehicle into low gear and finally made it home. I had to have the vehicle transported to a shop for repairs. The cost to fix the brakes lines, master cylinder - $1000. Not happy with GMC and will probably never buy another american made vehicle. I also have a chevy tahoe and I have had nothing but problems with that vehicle as well.
