MY BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. GM DEALERSHIP (MORRIS PONTIAC GMC) STATES THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. WHEN BRAKING, I EITHER ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OR CANNOT PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN AND THEREFORE CAN'T STOP. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. A FEW DAYS AGO I ALMOST WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. THERE ARE OTHER GMC JIMMY OR CHEVROLET BLAZER OWNERS THAT I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THEIR RIGHT FRONT BRAKES ALSO. THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT GM IS NOT ADDRESSING. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM. *AK
