I HAVE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT 265/75 R16 TIRES ON MY PICK-UP. I AM A DISABLED PERSON AND I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FIRESTONE TIRES THAT CAME ON MY GMC TRUCK. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE 16" TIRES ALONG WITH THE 15" TIRES WICH FIRESTONE HAS BEEN RECALLING. I URGE YOU TO MAKE FIRESTONE TIRE CO. RECALL THE 16" TIRES ALSO. BECAUSE OF THESE TIRE PROBLEMS I DO NOT FEEL SECURE IN DRIVING ON THESE EXISTING FIRESTONE TIRES. THANK YOU

WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDALS ON A SUDDEN STOP ON BUMPY ROADS AT SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT DEPRESS. THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP PROPERLY. IT TAKES THE TRUCK A LONGER TIME TO STOP THAN NORMAL. THIS ALMOST CASUED ME TO REAR END CARS ON MORE THAN ONE OCASSION. I HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REAPPLY PRESSURE TO GET FIRM BRAKE PRESSURE. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES, IT GIVES A FALSE SENSE OF ABS WORKING BUT THE TRUCK STOPS SLOWER THAN IF IT WERE THE ABS. SUDDEN STOPS ON BUMPY ROADS ARE VERY DANGEROUS. *AK

THE LOCAL DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AT 1515 MILES PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME LOSS OF BRAKE PEDAL FEEL. I AM A LITTLE MORE THAN CONCERNED THAT THE BRAKES WILL FAIL IN AN EMERGENCY STOP. *AK

ON 12/13/99 WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE TOURQUE CONVERTER LOCKED UP AND STALLED THE TRUCK IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE CROSSING THE LEFT LANE. WITH DIFFICULTY, TRUNED THE WHEEL BACK TO THE RIGHT AND PULL OFF THE ROAD AND SHIFTED INTO PARK AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK. LUCKLY THERE WAS VERY LITTLE ON COMING TRAFFIC. ON 2/11/00 WHILE COMING INTO A ROLLING RIGHT HAND TURN AND GOING ABOUT 15 MPH, I STARTED TO BRAKE AND THE TOURQUE CONVERTED AGAIN LOCKED UP AND THE ENGINE STALLED. AGAIN WITH DIFFICULTY I WAS ABLE TO STEER INTO THE CORNER AND MAKE THE CORNER. AS THE TRUCK WAS FREE ROLLING IT JUST STARTED ITSELF AND IT CONTIUNED ON, ALMOST CRACHED INTO TWO CARS WAITING AT THE STOP SIGN. IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A COLLISION. IN OCTOBER WHEN WAITING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO CHANGE, I ACCELLERATED AND TRUCK DIDN'T MOVE. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE SHIFTED TO PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE AND IT FINALLY WENT INTO GEAR AND MOVED. HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE WITH TOURQUE CONVERTER CONCERNS WITH NO SOLUTIONS. GM HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH THERE 4L60E TRANSMISSIONS. MY 1998 GMC JIMMY HAS BEEN REPLACED AT 19000 MILES. AM VERY WORRIED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AT ANY TIME WHEN NOT READY AND AN ACCEDENT WILL HAPPEN. *AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCE VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING OVER 30 MPH, CAUSING STEERING TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. VIBRATION WILL FADE AFTER SPEEDS OF 50 MPH. DEALER HAS CHECKED TIRES/ WHEELS, CANNOT DETERMINE CAUSE. *AK *YC

BRAKE SYSTEM: WHILE DRIVING ON AVENUE AT 35-40MPH, I CROSSED A RAILROAD CROSSING WHILE BRAKING AND BRAKE PEDAL APPEARED TO GO TO THE POINT OF LEAST RESISTANCE, OR NEAR THE FLOOR BOARD. ALSO, WHILE STOPPED AT INTERSECTIONS, NOTICED BRAKE PEDAL VERY SLOWLY MOVING TO THE FLOOR WHILE FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL. IMMEDIATELY TOOK TRUCK TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT. AND THE SERVICE DEPT. DIAGNOSED IT AS A LEAKING MASTER CYLINDER. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED HOWEVER I STILL NOTICE BRAKE PEDAL SEEKING POINT OF LEAST RESISTANCE WHILE CROSSING RAILROAD CROSSINGS AND DIPS/MODERATE BUMPS IN THE ROAD. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK AS A FAMILY TRUCK AND IT CARRIES MY CHILDREN ON A REGULAR BASIS. I FEEL THAT MASTER CYLINDER SHOULD NOT HAVE LEAKED AT 822 MILES. OTHER ISSUE>>> HIGHWAY SPEED VIBRATIONS: TRUCK HAS HAD A PERSISTENT HIGHWAY SPEED VIBRATION (40-45 MPH AND 60-70 MPH). THE TRUCK WAS SERVICED FOR THIS PROBLEM ON SEPT. 27 AND OCT. 5. SEPT. 27 THEY BALANCED THE WHEELS. ON OCT. 5, THEY BALANCED THE WHEELS AGAIN AND SUGGESTED THAT THE WHEEL WEIGHTS ARE "COMING OFF" CAUSING UNBALANCED TIRES. WHEEL WEIGHTS HAVE REMAINED INTACT AS OF THIS DATE BUT VIBRATION STILL EXIST. THE VIBRATION FEELS LIKE IT STARTS AT THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND MIGRATES THROUGH THE TRUCK TO THE STEERING COLUMN AND WHEEL WHICH ON OCCASION HAS EXHIBITED MODERATE TO HEAVY SHAKING INCLUDING SEATS AND DASH. WHILE IN TURNS AT TIMES AND GOING OVER BUMPS, STEERING WHEEL SHAKES GIVING TH

VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND HIT THE MEDIAN CAUSING INJURY TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS BECAUSE OF BRAKE AND STEERING MECHANISM FAILURE. YH

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A DIRT HILL AT 3 MPH APPLIED BRAKES, AND THE VEHICLE FREE WHEELED DOWN A HILL AT 40 MPH DUE TO THE ABS SYSTEM FAILURE. ALSO, FRAME IS BENT.*AK
