1999 GMC Sierra complaints

TRUCK WAS MAKING BEARING/TIRE NOISE. DEALER COULD NOT LOOK AT IT FOR A WEEK SO HAD COSTCO DO A SAFETY CHECK. THEY FOUND THAT THE FRONT TIRE BELTS HAD SEPERATED. I REPLACED ALL 4 ON THE GROUND TIRES WITH MICHELINS. THE NOISE IS GONE. THIS TRUCK IS USED TO TOW A COMPING TRAILER AND USUALL HAS MAX SIDEWALL AIR PRESSURE (44#) IN THE TIRE.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265/75R16 )

ABS BRAKE PROBLEMS: WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP AND APPLYING BRAKES, THEY CHATTER AND BECOME MUSHY. THIS EXTENDS STOPPING DISTANCE WHICH MAY CAUSE A CRASH. THIS MOSTLY HAPPENS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL CONDITION. FRONT DISC BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT THERE STILL WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR. *AK

I HAD THREE FLATS IN THE FIRST TWO MONTHS OF OWING THE VEHICLE. THE THIRD CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND CRASH, RESULTING IN $4,500 BODY DAMAGE. I SENT FIRESTONE THE TIRE, AND THEY WROTE BACK THAT THERE WAS INDEED A BLOWOUT WHICH RESULTED IN( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT24575R16 )

I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AND APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I COULDN'T STOP THE VEHICLE AND RAN INTO SOME TREES. THIS HAS OCCURRED BEFORE IN OTHER GM VEHICLES THAT I HAVE OWNED. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THEY WOULD HAVE FIXED THEM BY NOW. *AK

MAJOR VIBRATION AT SPEEDS OVER 60, ALSO ANTILOCK BRAKE FAILURE OR JUMPING --DEALER WAS VERY RECEPTIVE AND STILL IS BUT GM SEEMS TO BE IGNORING THIS PROBLEM. *AK

I HAVE EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE WEARING OF THE FRONT BRAKES, WHICH HAS RESULTED IN THE ROTORS BEING REPLACED FIRST, THEN THE PADS REPLACED 2 WEEKS LATER, AND UPON REPLACING THE PADS THE NEW ROTORS REQUIRED RESURFACING. SINCE THEN AFTER DRIVING APPROX 5K MILES, I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEW PADS ARE APPOX 40% WORN. I REQUIRED THE RIGHT FRONT BALLJOINT TO BE REPLACED WHEN THE ROTORS WERE DONE. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES & HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND HAS A COMPLETE LOSE OF BRAKING. IT FAILED THE ANNUAL INSPECTION, DUE TO A LEAKING DONNUT GASKET. THE TAILGATE SQUEAKS & RATTLES, AND APPEARS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR CREAKS REQUIRING REPEATED GREASING. THERE APPEARS TO BE EXCESSIVE WEARING IN THE FRONT END AND BRAKING SYSTEM, AS WELL AS EXCESSIVE CREAKING & NOISE FROM THE REAR AREA OF THE TRUCK, TAILGATE, AND DRIVER'S DOOR. I HAVE BEEN MET WITH CONTINUED RESISTANCE AND LACK OF ANSWERS FROM BOTH THE MFG AND DEALER. ANY HELP OR INFORMATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS BRAKING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING BRAKE PEDAL TO PUSH UPWARD. THERE WAS NO BRAKING ABILITY WHICH CAUSED A CRASH. DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

ENGINE KNOCKS LOUDLY AT START-UP AND LAST FOR APROX. 2 MINUTES - DEALER SAID THIS IS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE. THE ENGINE ALSO HAS SPARK KNOCK WHEN ACCELERATING AND DEALER ALSO SAYS THIS IS NORMAL - DEALER SAID THIS IS DUE TO CARBON BUILD UP ON RING LANDS AND COULD BE TEMPORARILY REPAIRED BUT WOULD RE-OCCUR WITHIN 10,OOO MILES. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT 15,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO DATE. I CANNOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH ANY TYPE OF ADDITIVE ADVISED BY THE DEALER. DEALER SAID GMC HAS A DEFECTIVE ENGINE AND I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. THEY TOLD ME EVEN IF THEY REPLACED THE MOTOR I WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE KNOCKING AND PINGING ON ACCELLERATION. THE DEALER CONTACTED GMC TECHNICAL ADVISOR DAN PRATNER CASE # 3970330 AND HE ADVISED THEM THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THIS ENGINE. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE A PERSON CAN PURCHASE A VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE ENGINE AND BE TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW BEFORE THEY BUY THIS PARTICULAR PRODUCT SO THEY DO NOT END UP WITH A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT WILL CAUSE THEM ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE COSTS AND A VERY LOW RESALE VALUE NOT TO SPEAK OF THE EMBARRASSMENT OF HAVING A VEHICLE THAT KNOCKS LOUDLY ON COLD START-UP. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE LONG TERM EFFECTS OF THIS ENGINE KNOCKING WILL DO. IF YOU DO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND FIND THIS TO BE CAUSED BY ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT CAN BE REPAIRED, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

POWER SWITCHES AND MOTORS FAILED. *SLC

CONSUMER EXPRIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS BRAKES. IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR, AND MAINTAINED THAT WAS THE WAY THE ABS SYSTEM INTEDNDED TO OPERATE. *AK

ABS SYSTEM FAILED TO WORK. *AK

WHEN ACCELERATING FAST, MUST LET OFF OF THROTTLE SO TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT FROM 1-2, AND 3-4 GEARS. ALL FLUID AND FILTER WERE CHANGED, PROBLEM NOT FIXED. *AK

WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE WHICH CAUSED A COLLISION. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER, BRAKE DUST REMOVED AND BRAKE LINING REPLACED, BUT BRAKE PROBLEMS STIL EXIST. OWNER BELIEVES PROBLEM IS THE ABS. *AK *ML

WHILE COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR TO A RED LIGHT OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN, CONSUMER STEPPED ON BRAKE PEDAL AND HIT A BUMP. PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *AK

WHILE PULLING INSIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY AND COASTING ALONG, ENGINE JUST ROARED UP AND VEHICLE ACCELERATED. VEHICLE JUMPED OVER LANDSCAPE TIMBERS AND HIT BASEMENT WALL. ALSO, FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP, BUT BACK WHEELS WERE STILL MOVING AND IN MOTION. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AND UPON DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE A NORMAL STOP, BRAKES HELD FOR A BRIEF MOMENT AND THEN RELEASED, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. ALSO EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FORCE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP VEHICLE. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER. DEALER REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHEN STOPPING ON A BUMPY ROAD, OR WHEN STOPPING AND HITTING A BUMP, BRAKES PULSATE, OR ACTUALLY PUSH BACK. THIS MAKES IT VERY HARD TO STOP. I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN YESTERDAY MORMING ON THE WAY TO WORK. I WAS ALMOST STOPPED, HIT A SMALL CONSTRUCTION TRENCH IN TEH ROAD, AND MY BRAKED FAILED. BY THE TIME I LET OFF THE BRAKE, AND REAPPLIED THEM, I WAS INCHES AWAY FROM HITTING THAT PERSON! I HAD THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS FOR THIS, SHOUTLY AFTER BUYING IT. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES. WHEN I HAVE AN ACCIDENT, I WILL THEN FILKE SUIT AGAINT JONES PONTICA / GMC, AND GENERAL MOTORS. THIS IS DANGEROUS, AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED.*AK

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED SINCE NOVEMBER OF 1999 WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS, IF YOU COULD OFFER ANY HELP IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. NO AFETY DEFECT STATED IN SUMMARY. *AK

DRIVER'S SEAT MOVES WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. THROWS DRIVER AGAINST STEERING WHEEL AND UNABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE PROPERLY. DEALER WILL LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. *AK *ML

WHILE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE, TRUCK WENT FULL THROTTLE WITHOUT FOOT BEING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. DRIVER HAD TO STAND ON BRAKE AND TURN IGNITION OFF TO GET TRUCK TO STOP. TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED DUE TO STICKING. *AK *ML

BOTH THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. PER DEALER THE FAULTY PIECE CAUSING LIGHTS TO COME ON WAS THE EBCM. THE PIECE WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER, AND WOULD NOT BE AVAILALBE UNTIL 06/22. HOWEVER, DEALER DID NOT ASSURE THE CONSUMER THAT THE BRAKES WERE TOTALLY SAFE. WITH FAULTY BRAKES, CONSUMER HAS A FEAR OF DRIVING. FAULTY BRAKES COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *AK

FRONT AXLE GREASE SEAL FAILED CAUSING NOISE WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS, DEALER REPLACED SEAL YET THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MAKE NOISE. NLM

VEHICLE MAKES NOISE WHEN MAKING TURNS DUE TO FAULTY FRONT AXLE GREASE SEALS. NLM

INTERMITTENTLY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES BRAKE PEDAL WOULD FEEL SPONGY, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN DEALER SHOP ON TWO OCCASIONS, AND PROBLEM STILL REOCCURRING. *AK

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE ON AN INCLINE AT SPEEDS OF 55MPH TO 65MPH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO SECOND GEAR AND REVS THE ENGINE UP TO 4500 RPMS AND DOESN'T INCREASE THE SPEED BECAUSE IT IS RUNNING AT ITS PEAK SPEED IN SECOND GEAR CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO LET UP ON THE ACCELERATOR AND TRY TO GET BACK BEHIND THE VEHICLE I WAS TRYING TO PASS.THIS SAME DOWNSHIFTING ALSO OCCURS WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL.THE DEALER DID NOT WANT TO TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON A SIMILARLY INCLINED ROAD TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE LIKE MINE TO COMPARE IT TO.THE DEFECT IN THIS TRANSMISSION COULD EASILY PUT ME IN A HEAD ACCIDENT SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *AK

WHILE DRIVING IN SNOW SPEEDOMETER STARTED MOVING BACK AND FORTH. THEN CONSUMER SMELLED RUBBER BURNING, AND HEADLIGHTS POPPED OUT. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID SOMETHING OVERHEATED ON THE OUTSIDE. BUT CONSUMER SAID IT WAS ON THE INSIDE. DEALER PUT A MODULE IN, AND MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. CONSUMER FEARS LOOSING LIGHTS ON THE ROAD. *AK

ONGOING PROBLEM WITH APPLYING BRAKES ON ROUGH OR BUMPY SURFACE WHICH CAUSESED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. ALSO, A POPPING NOISE COULD BE HEARD WHILE APPLYING BRAKES. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT IT WAS A NORMAL CONDITION. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHILE SLOWING ON ROUGH OR BUMPY ROADS BRAKES FAIL FOR 7 - 10 SECONDS. DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE ABS. *AK

TIRES WEAR OUT EXCEPTIONALLY FAST. DEALERSHIP AUTHORIZED REPLACEMENT OF 4 TIRES IN MARCH 2000. AT THIS TIME, THE TRUCK HAD APPROX. 16,500 MILES. THEY WERE REPLACED DUE TO EXTREME WEAR AND NUMEROUS BULGES. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER HAVING THESE 4 TIRES REPLACED, WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 20 MPH TO MAKE A TURN, A TIRE BLEW. THE TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE RIM ON BOTH EDGES AND WAS JUST CENTERED, HANGING LOOSELY FROM THE RIM, TOTALLY DEFLATED. I WENT AHEAD AND PULLED INTO A STATION ABOUT 20 YARDS AWAY, WHERE I JACKED THE TRUCK UP AND WAS ABLE TO CENTER THE TIRE ON THE WHEEL & REINFLATE IT. THE TIRE HELD PRESSURE & I WAS ABLE TO FINISH ERRANDS & THEN GO TO GOODYEAR. AT THIS TIME, GOODYEAR TELLS ME I HIT A NAIL. THEY PLUGGED THE TIRE, BUT TOLD ME I NEEDED TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AS MY NEW TIRES, WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES, WERE BADLY WORN AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME TO RETURN TO GOODYEAR FOR ADJUSTMENT. I FEEL THERE IS A PROBLEM, DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE TIRES OR THE TRUCK?? WHEN THE TIRE CAME LOOSE, I BUMPED THE CURB & SUSTAINED ABOUT $1000 OF DAMAGE, REAR AXLE, BEARINGS, ROTOR ETC. HOW CAN A TIRE TOTALLY SEPERATE FROM THE RIM & THEN BE REINFLATED WITHOUT REPAIR? WHY DO THE TIRES ON THIS TRUCK KEEP WEARING OUT? ENCOUNTERED ANOTHER CUSTOMER TODAY AT HUDIBURG WITH A SIMILAR PROBLM. THEY WERE REPLACING 2 TIRES FOR HIM AFTER REPLACING ALL 5 TIRES PREVIOUSLY. WISH THEY WERE AS CONSIDERATE IN MY CASE, INSTEAD OF SENDING ME BACK TO DEAL WITH GOODYEAR MYSELF!! HERE I

VEHICLE VIBRATES SEVERELY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 55. VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. DEALER HAS ADVISED POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WITH FRONT HUBS, REAR SHOCKS, WHEELS AND TIRES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER THREE (3) TIMES SINCE 08-25-99 FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR OF PROBLEM, BUT AS OF 09-10-99, THE PROBLEM OF OVERALL MAJOR VIBRATION HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED.

WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION THERE IS A FLUTTER FROM THE FRONT NEAR THE WINDSHILD AND MAKE LOTS OF NOISE. *AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD, AND THE TRUCK KEPT TRAVELING, CAUSING DRIVER TO HIT A FENCE. THIS HAPPENED ON DRY AND SMOOTH PAVEMENT. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT MAKE ANY REPAIRS UNLESS REPAIRS WERE AUTHORIZED BY GMC. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

ABS BRAKES FAIL WHEN YOU APPLY BRAKES WHEN THERE IS A BUMP IN THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD 14 FAILURES IN 2095 MILES. THE BRAKE PEDAL DROPS DOWN SLIGHTLY AND BECOMES SOLID, YOU CAN NOT PUSH DOWN ANYMORE AND THE VEHICLE GLIDES TO A SLOW STOP. IT WILL NOT STOP IN AN EMERGENCY IN THIS CASE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE IN THE SUSPENSION AND THE ABS BRAKES. THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AND DOES NOT RECOVER FAST WHEN YOU GO OVER A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD. AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE WHOLE VEHICLE AND STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES. THE PLASTIC HUB NUTS ALWAYS COME LOOSE WHEN DRIVING.*AK

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION AT 15 TO 20 MPH. UPON IMPACT, DRIVER'S SIDE/PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING ONGOING CONTROL PROBLEMS. WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 50 MPH, VEHICLE WANDERS ACROSS THE ROAD AND FRONT END FEELS LOOSE WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD, MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. DEALER/MANUFACTURER ARE AWARE OF THE UNRESOLVED PROBLEM. *ML

VEHICLE HYDROPLANED AND RAN INTO A CONCRETE WALL WITH A 40-45 MPH IMPACT, DUAL AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, CAUSING MINOR INJURIES. MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. BUT, NO ONE HAS INSPECTED VEHICLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE. *AK

VEHICLE SHAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, REAR SPRING HANGERS REPLACED--NO EFFECT. GMC SAYS "THE 1999/2000 MODELS ALL DO THAT."*AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P245/75R16 )

WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, AND VEHICLE KEPT ROLLING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE DURING NORMAL BRAKING IN NON-EMERGENCY SITUATIONS AT SPEEDS UNDER 30MPH. BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR MAKING A CHATTERING NOISE AND STOPPING DISTANCE IS INCREASED. THIS PROBLEM PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM STOPPING VEHICLE BEFORE STRICKING ANOTHER VEHICLE OR ENTERING AN INTERSECTION AT THE RISK OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT HOW A "NORMAL" ABS SYSTEM OPERATES AND IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW THAT GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE IS NEEDLESSLY INJURED OR KILLED! I'VE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR ONE MONTH AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY ABS BRAKE SYSTEM. THE DRIVETRAIN MAKES A GROANING SOUND WHILE IN 4WD MODE AND THE TRUCK SOMETIMES DOESN'T WANT TO MOVE WITHOUT GREAT EFFORT EVEN ON DRY PAVEMENT. THIS CONDITION DOES NOT EXIST WHEN 4WD IS DISENGAGED. THE TRUCK HAS MANUAL 4WD WITH 4.10 REAR END WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT RELATED TO THE ABS FAILURE. *AK

VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCE A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT DRIVE ASSEMBLY, BY THE TORSION BAR AREA AND STEERING MECHANISM. DEALER IS AWARE OF DEFECT , CLAIMS DEFECT CANNOT BE FIXED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEAR WON'T SHIFT BETWEEN SPEEDS. *AK

EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE AND AIR LEAK IN BOTH EXTENDED-CAB SIDE WINDOWS. WINDOWS DO NOT SECURE PROPERLY AND DEALER HAS REFUSESED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON IN THE CHEVRELOT EQUIVILANT OF THIS VEHICLE. *AK

DRIVER'S PASSIVE RESTRAINT IS INOPERABLE. RESTRAINT HAS LOCKED IN ONE POSITION. THE DEALER HAS REPAIRED AND REPLACED THE RESTRAINT PREVIOUSLY. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. ALSO, MECHANISM THAT LOCKS THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN THE TRACK BROKE WHILE DRIVING, ALMOST CAUSED LOSS OF CONTROL. *AK *ML

BRAKES FAILED DUE TO CONTAMINATION AND SEVER WEAR CAUSING VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND INJURY. *MJS

1.) ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM SEEMS TO ACTIVATE AND NOT ALLOW VEHICLE TO STOP NEARLY AS QUICK AS IF THERE WAS NO ANTI LOCK SYSTEM. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 TO TEN TIMES, BUT HAS NOT RESULTED IN A WRECK. 2.) CLUNKING NOISE IN REAR END AREA - SOUNDS LINE EXCESSIVE BACKLASH IN REAR END. *AK

THE BRAKES HAVE FAILED, I MEAN FAILED, NO BRAKES ON FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. MY TRUCK IS A DEATH WARRANT WAITING TO BE ISSUED . DEALERSHIP STATES THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH IT. ON JAN. 5, 2000 I WENT THROUGH A MAJOR INTERSECTION BECAUSE I COULD NOT STOP BECAUSE OF HAVING NO BRAKES. I PULLED TO THE NEXT PARKING LOT, AND CALED DEALER TO COME AND GET IT. THAT THIS WAS THE LAST TIME I WOULD PUT MYSELF NOR MY FAMILY IN DANGER WITH THIS TRUCK. THEY HAVE PICKED THIS TRUCK UP 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AND HAVE NOT FIXED PROBLEM. *AK

WHEN DRIVING ON A ROUGH / BUMPY PAVEMENT, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM FAILS. IT DOES NOT RESPOND WHEN THE PEDAL IS APPLIED, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL DRIVE ON SMOOTH PAVEMENT, BRAKES WORK FINE. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK *YC

STEERING WHEEL PROBLEMS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL GMC TRUCK PRODUCTS(GO TO WWW. EDMUNDS.COM -TOWN HALL MEETING FOR HUNDREDS OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS). *AK
