Description of the problem	Vehicle (2004 chevrolet z71 4x4) pulls consistently to the right upon firm brake application (such as from a 65 mph coasting condition). At the same time, the vehicle's rear end swings out to the left making for a very unstable situation. When you let off of the brake pedal the vehicle darts to the left due, i assume, to the left-input on the steering wheel that you've had to sustain to keep the truck in its lane. I drove several loaners from the selling dealer that, to my surprise, all did the exact same thing. Several dealership service department management individuals confirmed that their z71 were also afflicted. The brake technician at the dealership stated that he found my vehicle "dangerous" and that he would not put his family in it. Dealership service personnel stated that they had contacted chevrolet technical assistance and were told that chevrolet was aware of the condition, as they had attempted to cure it in a vehicle they had at the detroit-area manufacturing facility, but were unable. Therefore, since all of these vehicles pull to the right when braking, it must be "normal." no fix to be had. I strongly disagree with the conclusion that it is normal, and have driven in excess of several thousand vehicles as my basis for disagreement. I am at a loss to explain why this condition has not caught the attention of nhtsa, and is not the source of massive complaint by the general public. Anyone else who experiences this condition, please chime in and let your voice be heard.
