Consumer request for reimbursement of repairs on GMC 1998 Suburban. The consumer learned of a recall regarding the rotors, however the dealer informed the consumer the recall was only for C type trucks not K and the only difference being a C is a two wheel drive and the K type is four-wheel drive.

While applying the brake pedal the brakes failed. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and pulled over. Consumer inspected the vehicle and noticed that the rotors needed to be replaced due to corrosion. This information was provided helen's boy friend erick wunk. Front passenger brake rotor separated from lug bolt hub. Drivers side rotter also ready to separate. GMC recalled this part but not for the serial number of the consumers vehicle. Consumer replaced parts at his own expense. Consumer states that if this incident happened while driving at a high rate of speed he would have loss control of the vehicle.
