2 Service Brakes problem of the 1999 GMC Suburban

Failure Date: 09/10/2008

We own a 1999 GMC Suburban . We are the original owners of this vehicle which has never (til this time) been in a crash. On perfectly dry pavement, the brakes malfunction while coming to a stop. It sounds and feel like the antilock brakes are pulsating and greatly reduces my braking capability which is extremely dangerous. This occurs while coming to a stop from a speed of approximately 5-10 mph. I respectfully request that an immediate repair be performed and be paid for by gm as quickly as possible. Kindly contact me as soon as possible as we transport our children and other adults on many occasions. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
