WAS DRIVING MY 2017 GMC SIERRA WITH MY WIFE AND YOUNG SON. I WENT TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND HAD NO BRAKES. THE BRAKE WAS VERY HARD TO PUSH AND MADE A FUNNY CLICKING NOISE WHEN I SHOVED IT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION AND PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. I NOTICED THEN, THAT THE SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT WAS ON. THE TRUCK GAVE NO PRIOR WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
TRANSMISSION HAS SURGING AND HESITATION. DEALER CANNOT FIX.
