DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2000 GMC PICKUP. WHEN DRIVING SLOW, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES WOULD PULSE AS IF IT WERE BEING DRIVEN ON SNOW. THE BRAKING DISTANCE WAS NOT CORRECT. EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE CONSUMER WAS AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, AND WOULD VEER ONTO THE HIGHWAY. SUCH INCIDENTS HAPPENED AT LEAST 15 TIMES AND NOW IT WAS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. *AK (11/17/05) THIS PROBLEM WOULD ALSO OCCUR ON DRY PAVEMENT. INSTEAD OF STOPPING THE VEHICLE WOULD EXTEND FURTHER IN DISTANCE. *SC

THE ABS SYSTEM IS VERY DANGOUS ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE LEFT SIDE FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY WENT OUT, AND MY TIRE WOULD HAVE FELL OFF IF MY BOSS HADN'T CHECKED IT FOR ME.*AK

ACCELERATOR STICKS IN THE UP POSITION AND HAS TO BE TAPPED TO MOVE IT TO ACCELERATE, SOMETIMES CAUSING A RAPID ACCELERATION. I'VE HEAD PEOPLE DIVING CHEVROLET TRUCKS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THE BRAKE PROBLEM IS, WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE AND YOU HIT A BUMP OR THE YELLOW INDICATORS MARKING LANES ON THE ROAD THE TRUCK SORT OF HYDROPLANES OVER THEM AND DOESN'T SLOW DOWN UNTIL YOU GET ON THE FLAT PART OF THE ROAD AGAIN.*AK

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
