Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted September 12, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 12, 2019 My truck does it, at low speed pulling up to a gas pump or backing up to a trailer where your foot is on the brake the abs will kick on, pedal gets rock hard but truck will not stop..I've jammed it into park a couple times to stop it..Of course the dealer was unaware of any issue, was a fluke..add that to the other 6 recalls on it, and the list of things that have failed, heated seat, ac condenser, rims falling apart..

Jimmy, you know I don't comment on any of the threads/posts where you and a few others go at each other verbally but more and more I am seeing exactly what those people are talking about when they are referring to you and your behavior and your unmitigated glee to try and stir things up. If you paid attention, you will see I only wrote what I wrote in response to SB's post, who, imo, is just trying to downplay the whole situation. If you would have also taken the time to read the article, you would have read where the Federal Gov't had to intervene/put pressure on GM to issue this recall. Do you honestly think, after 113 "known-reported" accidents and 13 "known-reported" injuries, that the Gov't should have be needed in this case?

washedupmxer Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 FTR I thought the ignition recall was kind of b******* but.... They need to get this brake thing under control but let's be real nobody's posted about fords millions of recalls this year either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to get this brake thing under control but let's be real nobody's posted about fords millions of recalls this year either Every manu has recalls. I'm not specifically picking on GM for yet another recall but rather that it took the Gov't to apply pressure for this one to happen in light of what GM recently went through with their ignition problem, which was rather large and well known to say the least! General Motors was the subject of multiple government investigations and hundreds of civil lawsuits for taking more than a decade to recall 2.6 million cars with a deadly ignition switch defect. Under a deal with federal prosecutors expected to be announced Thursday, the automaker will pay a fine of $900 million to resolve a criminal investigation. It will also have to comply with oversight and other terms for the next three years. https://www.inc.com/associated-press/key-events-in-general-motors-ignition-switch-recall.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washedupmxer Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Furthermore I also feel like people should be able to control their car if it turns off.... Maybe it's something that should be taught because it can happen regardless if you turn it off yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually surprised this can't be done thru Onstar on many models if its just a reflash. Edited September 12, 2019 by Highmark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member BOHICA Posted September 12, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) The reflash is a band aid to a problem that is still there in the design of the brake system. Edited September 12, 2019 by BOHICA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one in about 34,000 vehicles. You'd get more people hitting the gas instead of the brake in a number like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
