#765330August 7, 2002
VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR VIBRATES AT IDLE WHILE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT. THIS CONDITION WORSENS AT HIGHWAY SPEED OR ON BUMPY ROADS, WITH NO NOTICABLE DIFFERENCE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT ON 2 LANE ROADS ALL OF THE TAILLIGHTS OF THE OPPOSING TRAFFIC ARE FLASHING TO THE POINT OF DISTRACTION. ALSO, I DUE TO THIS EFFECT OF TAILLIGHTS BEING RED AND FLASHING IN THE MIRROR ALREADY, WHETHER A DRIVER WOULD NOTICE AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE APPROACHING FROM BEHIND DUE TO THERE ALREADY BEING FLASHING RED LIGHTS IN THE MIRROR. THE DEFECT APPEARS TO BE THE BREAKAWAY JOINT NOT BEING TIGHT ENOUGH TO HOLD THE MIRROR IN A STABLE POSITION AS WHEN I HOLD THE JOINT THE VIRBATION LESSENS, AND WHEN I HOLD THE GLASS AGAINST THE HOUSING THE VIBRATION PERSISTS.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, THE ANTILOCK BRAKES SEEM TO ENGAGE FOR NO REASON ON DRY PAVEMENT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU HAVE THE FEELING THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. THIS STARTED AFTER IS WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THE DEALER HAS NOT LOOKED AT THIS PROBLEM. MY SON IS A GMC CERTIFIED MECHANIC, AND WE HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM AND BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE IT'S CAUSE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF TRUCK, HOWEVER I CAN FIND NO DETAILED REPORTS ON THIS. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHETHER YOU ARE AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS CONCERNING THE BRAKING SYSTEMS ON THE GMC AND IT'S SISTER VEHICLE THE CHEVY. THANKS, STEVE VARLEY. *AK
