| When trying to turn at an intersection, the brakes on my 2500hd with duramax diesel applied without driver using the pedal. this happened at every turn while trying to get to the repair shop. the shop replaced the factory sealed hydraulic booster assembly. after 1500 miles the problem has not recurred. we have contacted general motors, but since there was no recall, there is nothing they will do. this same condition happened at 30000 miles, but cleared up and no dealer could find a defect code and could not duplicate the problem. hopefully, this does not happen again at high speed. | |||
