I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT WHEN I PUSHED IN ON THE BRAKE IT WOULD NOT WORK AND I WAS PUSHING ON IT WITH ALL THE FORCE I COULD APPLY TRYING TO GET IT TO STOP. I HEARD A STRANGE GRINDING NOISE THE WHOLE TIME I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES.*AK

NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEMS ON 99 AND 2000 YEAR MODEL TRUCKS FROM GMC. *AK

DURING LOW SPEED BRAKE APPLICATION UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS PEDAL IS SOFT,REQUIRES PUMP TO BRING BRAKE PEDAL TO TOP OF TRAVEL. BRAKES WILL INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO STOP VEHICLE,RESULTING IN SEVERAL NEAR MISSES. *AK

ENGINE TAPPING NOISE WHEN FIRST STARTED. DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC FOR 20 YEARS AND THIS IS NOT A NORMAL ENGINE SOUND. *AK

ABS MODULE WENT BAD. ABS PUMP MOTOR WOULDN'T STOP RUNNING. I PULLED THE FUSE AND TOOK IT RIGHT TO THE DEALER. THEY DIDN'T HAVE A MODULE IN STOCK. IT'S BEEN OVER A WEEK AND IT'S STILL NOT FIXED. I'M DRIVING WITHOUT ABS. *AK

VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP ON CLEAN, DRY CONCRETE SURFACE AT LOW SPEED. VEHICLE WAS COLD (30 F), DRIVEN ABOUT 100 YARDS, CRASHED SLIGHTLY INTO GARAGE DOOR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK. BRAKES DID WORK AT THE LAST MOMENT AFTER PUSHING PEDAL VERY HARD, AND LEFT A SHORT SKID MARK FROM FRONT TIRES ONLY. ABS APPEARED TO BE OPERATING WHEN CONDITIONS WERE SUCH THAT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED. *AK

FRONT BRAKES DON'T HAVE A SURE STOP WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP. DEALER HAS SEEN VEHICLE SEVERAL FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.*AK

GAS PEDAL STICKS IF FOOT IS REMOVED FOR ANY REASON, BE IT COASTING INTO A TURN, STARTING OUT FROM A STOP. SPEED OF VEHICLE DOES NOT MATTER. WHEN THE FOOT PEDAL ENGAGES THERE IS SUDDEN EXCELLERATION, CAUSE PASSENGERS HEAD TO WIPE FORWARD. ON ICY CONDITIONS THIS HAS BECOME A DANGER IN ITSELF. AT THE GAS STATION INCHING UP TO PUMP IT HAS LOCKED UP AND LUNGED FORWARD ALMOSTING HITTING A VEHICLE IN FRONT. I HAVE NOTIFED THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE ALSO SPOKE TO THREE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS SAME, YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AND ALL SAY THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. TWO OF THEM HAVE HAD REPAIRS DONE ON THE GAS PEDAL. WINDOW ON DRIVER SIDE (ELECTRIC) WAS BEING ROLLED UP HALF WAY UP WINDOW CABLE BROKE AND WINDOW SLAMMED DOWN INSIDE DOOR. BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVERS DOORS SEEM LOOSE WHEN ROLLED DOWN AS YOU CAN HEAR THEM RATTLEING INSIDE. CONTROLS ARE INTERMITTENT AND WHEN TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 30 DEGREES DON'T WORK. PASSENGERS WINDOW 11/17/2000 WONT NOT GO UP OR DOWN DURING TEMPERATURE BELOW 30. VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBHECT TO ELEMINTS AS IT WAS INSIDE FOR REPAIR TO DRIVER WINDOW.

RAIN WATER IS LEAKING IN TO CAB OF TRUCK, CAUSING A MILDEW SMELL, AND CARPET TO GET WET. DEFECT POSSIBLY DUE TO A CRACKED FRAME AROUND REAR SLIDING WINDOW. DEALER HAS REPLACED WINDOW 3 TIMES, BUT DEFECT STILL OCCURS. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

THE ABS CONTROL VALVE AND ABS CONTROL MODULE SHORTED OUT CAUSING THE ABS WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHILE DRIVING. WATER HAD ENTERED BOTH UNITS, THE PINS OF THE CONTROL UNIT AND SOCKETS OF THE MODULE UNIT WERE COVERED WITH RUST, SHORTING THE SYSTEM, IN SOME MANNER WATER ENTERED THROUGH THE CONTROL UNIT AND CAUSED THE PINS AND SOCKETS TO RUST RESULTING IN PREMATURE FAILURE.

ON 10-1-99 I COMPLAINED TO MY SELLING DEALER ABOUT A METALLIC NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE WHEN I WOULD GO OVER A BUMP OR BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I'VE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN AND EACH TIME THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CAN'T FIND OR DUPLICATE THE NOISE OR THEY BLAME IT ON ONE OF MY AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT IN ON 10/16/00 THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY AFTERMARKET EXHAUST SYSTEM MAKING THE NOISE. I DIDN'T INSTALL THE EXHAUST UNTIL 7/00 AND I'VE COMPLAINED WELL BEFORE THIS TIME ABOUT THIS NOISE. WELL TODAY I GOT UNDER MY TRUCK TO INVESTIGATE FOR MYSELF WHAT COULD BE THE SOURCE OF THIS AWEFUL NOISE AND THAT'S WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT BOTH OF MY REAR BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLIES WERE LOOSE. I WAS ABLE TO WIGGLE BOTH OF THEM WITH MY HAND BUT THE RIGHT REAR WAS THE LOOSEST. AT THIS POINT I DECIDED NOT TO TOUCH THEM ANYMORE, I CONSIDERED TIGHTENING THEM MYSELF BUT DECIDED AGAINST THAT JUST IN CASE ANYBODY SHOULD WISH TO INSPECT THEM. I IMMEDIATELY WENT DOWN TO MY SELLING DEALER AND SPOKE WITH A MANAGER BUT OF COURSE THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IN ON MONDAY, 10/30/00 INSTEAD OF IMMEDIATELY REPAIRING THE DEFECT THAT I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT SO MANY TIMES. THIS IS DEFINATELY A SAFETY HAZZARD AND ONE CAN ONLY IMMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE BOLTS CAME ALL THE WAY OUT COMPLETELY AND THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THESE TRUCKS RECALLED AND THE BRAKE BOLT TORQUE CHECKED TO INSURE THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ANYBODY ELSE.*AK

DRIVETRAIN BINDS UP, AND WILL ALSO SHAKE AND GROWL WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 35-55 MPH.*AK

I WAS A VICTIM OF THE MAY 1999 TORNADOS. MY HOME AND PREVIOUS AUTO WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY THE STORM. SMICKLAS CHEVROLET KNEW I WAS DESPERATE WHEN I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW ON MAY 12, 1999. THE TRUCK WAS A DEMONSTRATOR, WITH 3585 MILES ON IT. AFTER I HAD IT ABOUT TWO AND = MONTHS, AND HAD DRIVEN IT LESS THAN 4,500 MILES, A SERIOUS VIBRATION APPEARED IN THE STEERING WHENEVER THE TRUCK REACHED ABOUT 60 MILES/HOUR. THE SHIMMY IS PRESENT ALL THE TIME AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AND SOMETIMES THE TRUCK ALSO PULLS TO THE RIGHT. BETWEEN JULY OF 1999 AND JULY OF 2000, I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK TO SMICKLAS SEVEN TIMES TO HAVE THE STEERING DEFECT CORRECTED. I HAVE SERVICE RECORDS FOR THOSE OCCASIONS (7/31/99, 8/21/99, 8/24/99, 9/28/99, 10/20/99, 11/17/99 AND 7/17/00). SMICKLAS JUST KEPT FOOLING WITH THE TIRES AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT, EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OBVIOUS AFTER THE FIRST THREE TRIES THAT THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE STEERING DEFECT IS STILL THERE.

5 SERVICE CALLS ON TRANSMISSION / REPLACED TWICE & STILL VENTING FLUID

SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR WHEELER CHEVROLET CANNOT FIND THE CAUSE FOR THE FAILURES, THEY SAID THEY HOPED THE PROBLEMS WAS FIXED, HOWEVER THE RIGHT WHEELBEARING HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AND THE BRAKES FAILED BECAUSE OF THE ROTOR LOCKING TO THE SPINDLE WHEN THE BEARING WORE OUT AFTER LESS THEN 30 MILES AND I HAVE RETAINED A PRIVATE COMPANY TO CORRECT THE DEFECT AND TO SEE WHY WHEELERS COULD NOT SOLE THIS PROBLEM, THEY TOLD ME AT ONE POINT THAT I SHOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THE GRINDING NOISE THE BEARING PRIOR TO THIS ONE WAS MAKING AND TO DRIVE AS NORMAL AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE LOW MILAGE I DONT DRIVE IT AND UNTIL THE SAFTEY ISSUE IS RESOLVED I WILL NOT ALLOW MY FAMILY TO EITHER.*AK

THE TIRE SPLIT FROM BEAD TO TREAD WHEN I RAN OVER A PVC PIPE AT LESS THAN 1/2MPH. THE PIPE WAS NOT BROKEN SO THERE WERE NO SHARP EDGES AND THE IMPACT DID NOT BREAK THE PIPE. WHEN I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER HE REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TIRE SAYING IT WAS A ROAD HAZARD. I ASKED FOR A NUMBER TO CALL AND WAS REFERED TO AN OFFICE IN NASHVILLETN. I CALLED AND TALKED TO A PERSON WHO IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS ROCK. I TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED AND HE REFUSED TO AUTHORIZE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRE SAYING IT WAS A ROAD HAZARD. I TOLD HIM THAT THESE WERE OFF ROAD TIRES THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE SO EASILY RUPTURED. HE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TO MAKE THE SIDEWALLS THIN BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE ME WANTED THEIR TRUCK TO RIDE SMOOTH AND THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS MADE THEM BUILD THEM THAT WAY. I TOLD HIM THAT I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT. HE TOLD ME THAT HE DID NOT CARE WHAT I THOUGHT AS I WAS NOT ONE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS BUT WAS JUST USING THEIR PRODUCT. I THEN HUNG UP BUT CALLED A CUSTOMER RELATIONS NUMBER LISTED ON THE INTERNET. I TOLD THE LADY THAT TOOK MY CALL WHAT "ROCK" HAD SAID AND SHE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND AUTHORIZED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRE. I AM STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THIS MODEL TIRE.*AK (TIRESIZE: 245/16 LT)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245/16 LT )
