ABS UNIT STARTED PUMPING AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. *AK

ABS LIGHT CAME ON BRAKING DISTANCE WAS THEN MUCH LONGER THAN NORMAL, ABS MOTOR THEN WOULD NOT STOP EVEN WITH KEY SHUT OFF . SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME ABS ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODUAL FAILED THIS TYPE OF FAIL LEADS ME TO THINK IT IS A DESIGN PROBLEM ,ELECTRONICS ARE NOT MILEAGE RELATED AND DUE NOT DEGRADE. *AK

WHILE STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN PRESSING ON THROTTLE PEDAL TO RETURN TO NORMAL TRAVEL PEDAL BECOME STUCK, CAUSING VEHICLE NOT TO RECIVE FUEL. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

CONSUMER HAD 2 TIRE BELTS SEPARATED, ONE AT 25000 AND ONE AT 1500 MILES (FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT 265-75R16 DOTW273WMA170). NLM

WOULD BE DRIVING AND REMOVING FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL FOR A SHORT WHILE. WOULD THEN DEPRESS ON GAS PEDAL, AND IT MADE A LOUD METALLIC BANG. WOULD SOUND LIKE METAL AGAINST METAL. TOOK TO DEALER & MECHANIC LUBRICATED DRIVESHAFT. WAS WORKING FINE UNTIL LEAVING DEALERSHIP. HAVE BEEN IN TO DEALER TEN TIMES FOR PROBLEM , AND IT'S NOT RESOLVED. *AK

I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODULE. I HAVE TALKED TO SERVICE MANAGERS AT 3 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND THEY HAVE ALL SAID THAT THE PROBLEM EXIST ON THESE MODELS. THEY HAVE SEEN IT ON TRUCKS WITH LOW MILEAGE ALSO. ONE OF THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT HE BELIEVES THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THEM. I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING IF YOU CAN CALL ANY DEALERSHIP AND TELL THEM THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING THEY WILL ALL SAY IT IS A RELAY INSIDE THE MODULE THAT HAS GONE BAD AND THE MODULE MUST BE REPLACED AT $1000.; THEREFORE, THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE MODULES SHORTING OUT. ALSO, EVERYDAY I PASS UP1999 AND 2000 MODELS TRUCKS LIKE MINE AND SEE ONE OF THE RUNNING LIGHTS OUT. I HAVE PERSONALLY REPACED MINE TWICE AND IT IS OUT AGAIN, TOO ME THAT,S A PROBLEM ALSO. I HOPE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU SOON.*AK

CONSUMER WENT TO APPLY BRAKES AND DRIVER'S SEAT SLID FORWARD BECAUSE BOLT THAT CATCHES SEAT ON TRACKS BROKE. DEALER HAS INSPECTED T VEHICLE. *AK

THE ABS SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS WHEN DRIVING ON GRAVEL ROAD OR ICE, BUT WORKS FINE ON OTHER KINDS OF ROADS. THE MALFUNCTIONING OF ABS CAUSES WHEELS TO LOCK UP RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE HOWEVER, THESE ABS BRAKES WERE NOT TESTED ON THESE COMMON DRIVING CONDITIONS BY THE MANUFACTURER. *YH

TRIED TO STOP WHEN SOMEONE ABOUT 50 FEET IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WERE NO BRAKES. I ENDED UP REAR-ENDING THE PERSON BECAUSE THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING!!! WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE WITH THE ABS ALMOST MAKING MY HUSBAND GO THROUGH STOPSIGNS AND SUCH. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY "CALIBRATED THE ABS TIRE SIZE AND RAN THE BLEED AND BLEED SYSTEM". OBVIOUSLY IT DIDN'T WORK BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN IN 2 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE BRAKES QUIT WORKING BOTH TIMES! *AK

WE WERE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT AN INTERSECTION DOING ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE WHO WAS DRIVING 60MPH TRIED TO MAKE THE TURN AND HIT US PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TO PASSENGER SIDE FRONT. THIS CAUSED EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE AND FRONT RIGHT QUARTER PANEL DAMAGE TO OUR 1999 GMC SIERRA AND TO THE OTHER VEHICLE. NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED IN THE SIERRA PICKUP. BECAUSE OF THE FRONT END DAMAGE THE FRAME WAS TOO TWISTED AND TOO CRIMPLED TO BE FIXED. THE BODY SHOP HAD TO REPLACE THE FRAME. THE FRAME UNDER THIS 1999 GMC PICKUP IS NO LONGER MADE AND WAS ONLY MADE AND USED THAT ONE YEAR. WHY? THE FRAME CURRENTLY BEING PLACE BACK UNDER OUR PICKUP IS MUCH MORE STURDY AND DURABLE AND IT IS A 2000 FRAME WHICH HAD TO BE ORDERED OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE IN MICHIGAN. THE BODY SHOP EVEN HAD TO ORDER MORE PARTS TO MAKE THE FRAME WORK BECAUSE IT IS MUCH MORE HEAVY DUTY AND THE PARTS ON THE 1999 WOULD NOT MOUNT TO THE 2000 FRAME. I DID CONTACT THE MANAFACTURE GM AND I RECIEVED WORD FROM THEM LAST WEEK THAT THEY THOUGHT THE AIRBAG WERE WORKING PROPERLY EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED THE FRAME TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT AND I HAVE TOLD THEM SO. INJURES FROM THE ACCIDENT FOR THE PASSENGER INCLUDED HEAD, CHEST, BACK, BOTH KNEES WITH THE RIGHT KNEE CONTUSION MUCH WORSE (WAITING FOR MRI RESULTS) , RIGHT SHOULDER SPRANG AND BOTH FEET SPRANG. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THIS WEB SITE TO FIND OUT WHEN AND HOW THESE AIRBAGS SHOULD ACTIVE AND I STILL

FIRESTONE HAVE OFFERED A GENEROUS PRORATED TRADE TOWARD DUELLER HT 6 PLY PASSENGER TIRE. 50% OF TIRE HAS WORN BY TREAD DEPTH AT 18000 MILES. SHOULD BE A 50000 MILE TIRE.

WENT TO DEALERSHIP TALK ABOUT TECHICAL SERVICE BULLITEN #86-74-03 CLUNK UPON ACCELERATION(REPLACE TRANSFER CASE FLUID). DEALER CHANGED TRANSFER CASE FLUID, BUT GLUNK NOISE IS STILL THERE. THE SERVICE BULLETIN STATES CAUSE MAYBE TO SLIP-STICK CONDITION BETWEEN THE REAR PROPELLER SHAFT SLIP YOKE AND THE TRANSFER CASE OUTPUT SHAFT. THE CORRECTION, DRAIN THE TRANSFER CASE FLUID AND REFILL WITH FLUID. THIS FLUID CONTAINS A FRICTION MODIFIER THAR SHOULD ELIMINATE THE SLIP-STICK CONDTION. I FEEL THAT THIS SERVICE BULLITEN PROCEDURE DID NOT CORRECT THE CLUCK PROBLEM. I SAID, TO THE TECHNICAL MANAGER THAT THERE IS EXCESS BACKLASH BETWEEN THE CROWN-WHEEL AND PINION IN THE DIFF. PULL IT OUT AND ADJUST IT, AS IT WILL SHORTEN THE LFE OF DIFF. HE STATED THAT THERE IS NO ROOM TO ADJUST IT. I HAVE A 1992 MODEL THAT MAKES A CLUNK NOISE. I THINK MY UJOINTS ARE BEING EFFECTED BECAUSE OF THE BACKLASH. I PLACE MY TRUCK IN DRIVE THEN REVERSE I GET A SLIGHT CLUNK FEELING. IAM NOT A EXPERT, BUT I DON'T THINK THE TSB REALLY CORRECTS THE CLUNK. *AK

TO THOSE THAT COULD HELP ME GET GMC OR RANDY REED GMC PONTIAC IN KANSAS CITY, MO TO FIX THIS VIBRATION.I HAVE HAD THIS VIBRATION IN THE TRUCK SINCE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW AT 6 MILES WITH A DELIVER MILES OF 23. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER 13 TIMES IN THE LAST 14 MONTHS AND 8 OUT OF THOSE 13 TIMES IT WAS FOR THE VIBRATION. THE DEALER HAD PUT ALL NEW TIRES ON THE TRUCK AFTER ABOUT 3,000 MILES BUT STILL COULD NOT GET THE VIBRATION ALL THE WAY OUT. IT WAS TO A POINT WHERE I COULD STAND IT BUT I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH IT. THE VIBRATION COMES ON BETWEEN 65 TO 70 MPH WHICH INDICATES THE TIRES. THE TIRES ARE GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST P235/75R16 OWL WHICH IS THE ORIGINAL OEM TIRE FOR THAT TRUCK ON THAT YEAR. DURING THE TESTING AROUND THE TIME OF EXCHANGING OF ALL THE GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST FOR EXACT SAME THING WE PUT A SET OF FIRESTONE WRANGLER HT I BELIEVE ON IT AND IT RODE PERFECTLY SMOOTH. ON 08/15/2000 I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR A BULLETIN THE SERVICE MANAGER WANTED TO DO TO IT TO STRENGTHEN THE FRONT END ON IT AND I GOT IT BACK TWO DAYS LATER AND IT RIDES ROUGHER THAN BEFORE. I TOOK IT BACK ON 08/29/2000 AND THE NEW SERVICE MANAGER GOT INVOLVED AND SAID HE COULDNT FEEL ANYTHING ON VIBRATION SO I TOOK HIM FOR A RIDE AND WHEN YOU GO UP OR DOWN A HILL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AT 65 OR 67 MPH YOU FEEL THE VIBRATION IN THE FLOOR SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL ALSO THE MIRRORS VIBRATE SOMETIMES WHERE YOU CAN NOT MAKE OUT THE VEHICLE LIGHTS BEHIND YOU. THEN THE SERVICE MANAGER

AFTER SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED SEVERAL COMPONENTS IN THE FRONT END OF MY 1999 GMC SIERRA SLE XCAB 2WD SHORT BOX IT NOW PULLS TO THE LEFT ON FLAT HIGHWAY WHERE AS IT PULLED TO THE RIGHT BEFORE THE PARTS WHERE INSTALLED. IF THERE IS RUTS FROM WEAR IN THE HIGHWAY THEN IT WILL MAINTAIN OR TRACK THEM. I EXPLAINED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT A 300 POUND PERSON WILL PULL THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT APPROXIMATELY 1 DEGREE SO IT HAS TO BE RIGHT ON AND HE SAID IT WAS. WELL IT STILL PULLS TO THE LEFT AFTER THEY REPLACED ALL THE PARTS IN THE FRONT END ON THERE BULLENTIN FOR THE VIBRATION PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO FOR ME.( DOT NUMBER: M63D TIRE SIZE: P235/75R16 )

BRAKES MAKE NOISE AND PULL/VIBRATE WHEN APPLIED, THE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED HOWEVER THE SYSTEM STILL EXPERIENCES PROBLEMS. *MJS

THE REAR ROTORS U-JOINT, CARBON BUILD UP ON THROTTLE, REPLACED WINDOW MOTOR USES 2 QTS OF OIL EVERY 400 TO 500 MILES , TRANSMISSION USES 1 QT OF OIL EVERY 20000 MILES , AIR CONDITIONER FAN DOES NOT WORK ON HIGH I BELIEVE THE THROTTLE BUILD UP IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE GAS PETAL STICKING. WE HAVE A LEMON
