I KNOW THE INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED ON RUSTED BRAKE LINES BUT ID LIKE FOR IT TO BE REOPEN. I AM NOT SURE WHY THE NHTSA IS NOT FINDING GMC LIABLE FOR THIS NEGLIGENCE. BRAKE LINES RUST FROM TIME TO TIME. WE GOT IT. BUT MY 2006 DENALI IS DRIVEN APPROX.

ON APRIL 2 2015 I EXPERIENCED "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" WHILE TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO URGENT CARE. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD OVER $2000 WORK WITH MANY DIFFERENT REPAIRMEN INVOLVED. GM ADVISED THEY WERE SORRY BUT NO RECALLS - NOTHING THEY WOULD DO TO HELP.
