ABS brake problems; while drivng on normal road conditions and applying the brakes, a howling noise came from the brakes. When taken to dealership, dealer stated that brakes were worn out, and needed a right rotor. Both rotors were damaged. The right rotor was replaced and the brake pads were replaced. The left rotor had to be grinded down. There has not been a problem with the brakes system in the last year.

Jimmy 4WD

  • Automatic transmission

The vehicle was placed in the park position, placed the vehicle from park into drive and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard, resulting in an accident. Also there was brake fluid leaking from the master cylinder which caused the problem. GMC states that there is no defect, however dealer, who is now out of business, stated that brakes were cause of accident.
