Brake and abs unsafe and in for chronic repairs. Have owned vehicle for less then a year when problem started. Rotors cracked due to excessive heat. Had heavy duty rotors put on. In the rain, abs locked. . . Near miss of an accident. Within weeks had back in for repairs due to excessive wear. . . Was informed of GMC bulletin regarding brakes. Took to dealer to check brakes and abs. Had proportioning valve put in and rear brakes replaced. Then had to replace front rotors again due to wear. . All within 2-3 months. Then abs light came on, and abs staring locking intermittently on its own. There is a leak at the master cylinder. The proportioning valve was just installed 12 days ago! we left it at the service center at the dealer (its a Sunday)! too scared to drive with my preschooler in the car! the vehicle only has 42k!.
