GMC RECALL ABS - WHY ONLY RECALL 14 - 20 STATES???? WE LIVED AT LAKE TAHOE, CA WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR BRAND NEW AVALANCHE, AND LIVED THERE SEVERAL YEARS AFTER. WE HAVE THE BRAKE PROBLEM!! WE HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY ATTENTIVE WHEN DRIVING TO BE ABLE TO BRAKE SOON ENOUGH. OUR BRAKES ARE NO LONGER "QUICK" AS THEY WERE WHEN THE TRUCK WAS NEW.
