| Purchased 2000 silverado new in fall of 2000. on 8/30/10 driving south on merritt pky (ct) bringing daughter to college applied brakes, vehicle started to slow down and suddenly foot went to floor and absolutely no more brakes. hit car in front which hit two other vehicles. put on emergency brake and steered into guardrail to stop the moving truck. unbelievably frightening experience, four vehicles involved including ours. truck was totaled. we always loved the vehicle and felt secure when driving it now just the thought of being in any vehicle and not stopping is a very real fear. state police officer did not cite us said it was mechanical failure blew a line. there very well could have been serious injuries/fatalities caused by this mechanical failure, we were all fortunate only property damage. photos were taken and silverado was totaled. insurance rates will go sky high now with surcharge. can we sue gm? we have police report. | |||
