WE ARE THE OWNERS OF A 1995 CHEVY S10 LS VIN NUMBER [XXX]. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL MINOR PROBLEMS AND A FEW MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK IN THE THREE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM IS SERIOUS AND CAUSED A POTENTIALLY FATAL SITUATION, ALL WHICH HAVE MADE US UNHAPPY WITH THE TRUCK. I APPROACHED A STOPLIGHT, WHERE OTHER VEHICLES WERE STOPPED AND I PROCEEDED TO SLOW DOWN. THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKES WERE NOT RESPONDING AND THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN. I CONTINUED TO APPLY THE BRAKE IN DISBELIEF BUT STILL MY TRUCK CAR…
