SERVICE BRAKES
BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN REVERSE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND BRAKE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE LIKE IT SHOULD. THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL ALREADY ON IT FOR THE VACUUM PUMP FAILING CAUSING A LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. I GOT THE RECALL REMEDIED ( SUPPOSEDLY BY INCREASING THE VACUUM PRESSURE BUT NOW 6 TO 7 MONTHS LATER THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING IN LOW SPEEDS DOWN RESIDENTIAL AREAS WITH KIDS PLAYING ETC AND YOUR BRAKES FAIL YOU THIS ULTIMATELY CAN CAUSE VERY SERIOUS INJURY IF NOT DEATH. AND TO KNOW THEY PUT A RECALL OUT THAT SUPPOSEDLY FIXES THE ISSUE AND IT DOSENT FIX ANYTHING MAKES IT WORSE BECAUSE YOUR CHEAP AND DONT WANT TO REPLACE A VACUUM PUMP IS UTTERLY DISTURBING AND DISGUSTING

SERVICE BRAKES
MY TRUCK STILL HAS THE HARD BRAKING ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED. I RECEIVED A SECOND LETTER AND TOOK IT BACK INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE REPROGRAM HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED AND THAT WAS ALL THEY COULD DO. I HAD IT AT THE MECHANIC FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD I WAS GOING TO NEED A NEW BRAKE VACUUM. HE EXPERIENCED THE SAME HARD BREAKING ISSUE WHEN HE WAS TEST DRIVING IT. I TRAVEL AND DRIVE MY TRUCK A LOT AND MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MILES AN HOUR COMING DOWN AN OVERPASS. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND I NARROWLY AVOIDED A CRASH. I TOOK TO MY MECHANIC. THEY SAID THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. I AM NOT GETTING THIS FIXED AS IT IS AN OLDER TRUCK BUT I DO THINK THAT SOMEONE COULD DIE FROM THIS DEFECT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL VACCUUM SENSOR KEEPS TELLING ME TO TIGHTEN GAS CAP. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON PERIOADICLLY. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC, DIRT GETS IN NEAR WHERE YOU FILL GAS. SENSOR AND FILTER NEED TO BE REPLACED BY UPDATED GM. THE VACCUUM SENSOR AND FILTER NEED TO BE REPLACE AND REROUTE LINE ABOVE TRANSMISSION INSTEAD OF TRUCK BODY. DEALER PART COST $477.00.

POWER TRAIN
ON FRIDAY NOVEMBER 6TH WE WERE ON OUR WAY HOME COMING DOWN 1960 EAST WHEN WE STARTED TO HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM THE TRUCK. WE COULD HEAR IT LOUD AND CLEAR BECAUSE THE A/C IS ALSO OUT SO WE HAVE BEEN HAVING TO LEAVE THE WINDOWS DOWN. IT SOUNDED LIKE AN OLD ELECTRIC FAN RUNNING. THEN SHORTLY AFTER THE TRUCK STARTED TO JERK HARD IT FELT LIKE WE HAD JUST BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS AND WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY 1960 LUCKY WE WERE CLOSE TO HOME AND WHERE ABLE TO MAKE IT THERE AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET THE TRUCK GOING. MY HUSBAND HAS SOME KNOWLEDGE OF CARS AND REALIZED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. HOW CAN IT HAVE SUCH A MAJOR PROBLEM? WHEN DOING SOME RESEARCH APPARENTLY THIS IS PROBLEM THAT GM IS AWARE OF AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX. AS I MENTIONED BEFORE THE A/C CONDENSER HAS A MAJOR LEAK AND THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM OF GM VEHICLES. BASICALLY WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW LEMON. I'M THANKFUL WE WERE NOT ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE OUTCOME. FOR NOW WE ARE WITH OUT A VEHICLE AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION.

THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. NOTICED A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL UNDER THE TRUCK IN THE AREA OF THE AIR CONDITIONING LINES REFRIGERANT LINES. SUSPECT THAT THE LINES HAVE RUPTURED AND ARE LEAKING OIL AND REFRIGERANT. CHECK TO SEE IF THEY WERE ANY RECALLS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND NOTICED THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME FAILURE OF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS. ALSO NOTED THE GM IS NOT DOING A RECALL ON THESE SYSTEMS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE ADMITTING THAT THERE ARE FAULTS IN THE BRACKETS HOLDING THE REFRIGERANT LINES TO THE FRAME AND HAVE RE-DESIGNED THOSE BRACKETS IN LATER MODEL UNITS. ALSO NOTED THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS NOT RIP MAKING REPAIRS AT A REDUCED COST OR NO COST DUE TO THEIR FAILURE IN DESIGN.
