| Defect Summary | Certain trucks, sport utility vehicles, and vans equipped with bosch hydro-boost brake assemblies, the hydraulic brake booster pressure accumulator may crack and separate from the hydro-boost assembly during normal operating conditions. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If a separation occurred and the hood of the vehicle were open, fragments from the accumulator could cause injury to people in the immediate area. the presence of this crack or fractured surface could allow the hydraulic fluid to leak from the accumulator circuit of the booster assembly. the loss of fluid would cause increased steering and braking effort and a crash may occur without prior warning. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will test the hydro-boost assembly for functional operation of the two-function valve. if the hydro-boost assembly fails the test, dealers will replace the assembly free of charge. the recall began on march 23, 2005. owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, gmc trucks at 1-866-996-9463 and hummer at 1-800-732-5493. | |||||||||||||||

| At low speeds 3-5 mph the anti-lock brakes engage - which cause the vehicle to travel longer distances to stop. this has caused several near misses. i have since removed the abs fuse after reading the detroit news about similar problems in canada and a national recall to solve the problem. gm has yet to recall this safety problem in the us...where most of the vehicle are not submitted to salt corrosion like we are in detroit. | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 15 mph, the vehicle's brakes failed and the contact had to use the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. the service dealer replaced the master cylinder, but this had not corrected the issue. the brakes had failed on two other occasions, but the dealer could not find the problem. | |||

| We bought this vehicle in may of 05. since this time we have brought it to the dealer on three separate occasions due to brake failure. while traveling at a low rate of speed the brakes on occasion fail to engage and we end up sliding forward a few feet. each time the dealer says that they can not find a problem with the brakes and that they must experience the problem in order to repair the vehicle. the last time this happened we almost hit another vehicle. *nm | |||
