1999 GMC DENALI

I PURCHASED A 1999 YUKON DENALI FROM MY FORMER BROTHER N LAW; HE DIDN'T INFORM ME THAT MY WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, RADIO,AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD STOP WORKING. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A BODY CONTROL MODULE; ONE GMC MECHANIC ASKED ME WHAT DOES THIS PART DO. I'M A LADY HOW WOULD I KNOW THESE THINGS. I STILL DON'T HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. WILL THIS CAUSE ME OTHER PROBLEMS OR CAN I CONTINUE TO DRIVE OFF A WING AND A PRAYER? *TR

WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM WORK TODAY I APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT, PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND MY FOOT WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO TURN INTO THE GRASS MEDIAN TO AVOID HITTING THE CARS IN FRONT AS I PRESSED THE EMERGENCY MANUAL BRAKE. BECAUSE I WAS VERY CLOSE TO HOME AT THAT POINT I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING WHILE USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS WITHIN NORMAL RANGE. *TR
