I had brake trouble on this car from day one. Many brake pads, two master cylinders, many shoes and drums. This vehicle is defective because it weight is too great for the braking system. I would like some help. Please call. My accident was caused by brake failure. Dealership where I live in kings mtn, now diamond Chevrolet admits. I took the car to the dealer in shelby, nc carter Chevrolet eight times in one year for brake problems.

Although their were no fatalities or injuries involved in reference to the master cylinder/ fuel pump, the lost of power brakes caused me to almost veer into a brick building. I hope the info provided will draw attention to the problems I've had since purchasing this vehicle.
