Master cylinder or abs?

The master cylinder uses electricity for power rather than the old style vacuum type... just a thought

Dustin,
You said they gave you a rental..did they charge you or was it free? Most dealers don't charge.

My warranty work has been minor and I waited for it. A H2 Hummer loaner would be great!!!!

My brakes are doing something similar, but it's not exactly as you describe. After sitting for a few hours, the first stop sneaks up on me. I press the pedal and it seems to pass the point where I normally feel some resistance. After a bit more travel, it grabs suddenly. It's almost as if the first stop every morning is a panic stop. After that, it's fine. The dealer assures me that there's nothing wrong with it, but I suspect I'll be bringing it back, soon.

And yes, on my most recent visit, I got an H3 as a loaner. On my previous visit, they gave me a Trail Blazer - what's up with that?

When they say "nothing is wrong with it" translates as we haven't a clue!![:@]

I was given a Buick Enclave as a loaner. What a great CUV.

My brakes work great ever since I got my new master cylinder. Hopefully that will solve your problem also.
