WHEN BRAKING ON WET PAVEMENT, BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO PEDAL STOP AND VEHICLE IS NOT STOPPING. THE DEALER HAS PUT ON BRAKE BOOSTER, ABS DUMP VALVE MASTER CYLINDER BLED AND ADJUSTED BRAKES. GMC WAS INVOLVED WITH DIAGNOSIS. THIS WAS DONE ONE YEAR AGO TRUCK STILL DOES THIS. I REALIZE RECALL UNDER WAY INVOLVING 4WD VEHICLES BUT NOT TWO WHEEL DRIVE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW SHOULD I GO ABOUT GETTING THIS RESOLVED? SO FAR ABOUT $1800.00 HAS BEEN PUT INTO THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO GO GET A RESOLUTION TO THIS.
