Original text
VEHICLE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND BARELY CAME TO A STOP BEFORE HITTING A TREE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED INTO DEALERSHIP JOYCE KOONS MANASSAS. DEALERSHIP CALLED BACK STATING BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED OUT AND CONTAMINATED ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, FUEL PUMP, BACKING PLATES, RIGHT AND LEFT LEVEL SENSORS TO THE TUNE OF $3660. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET WE FOUND OUT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT GM REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ON. IF WE HAD BEEN ON I 95 WITH THE VEHICLE AT A HIGH SPEED, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT AND PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY HEAVY AND WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO STOP AT HIGH SPEEDS. GM SAYS RUST DUE TO SALT BELT STATES. THE REASON YOU BUY A 4 WHEEL DRIVE OR ALL WHEEL DRIVE IS TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW. BUT THIS VEHICLE CAN'T TAKE THE SALT AND SAND PUT DOWN ON HIGHWAYS. BRAKES IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO HAVE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER AND HAVE GM RECALL THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED! *TR
