EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
I WORK ON A MILITARY BASE AND AM REQUIRED TO DIM HEADLIGHTS WHEN PASSING THROUGH A GUARD GATE. THE AUTOMATIC HEADLAMPS CANNOT BE DISABLED. GM CLAIMS THIS MEETS ALL 1999 SAFETY STANDARD AND WILL NOT FIX THE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM. I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE YEAR 2000 MODEL TRUCK CAN HAVE THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS DISABLED ON A TEMPORARY BASIS. WHILE I FEEL THIS IS NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO DRIVER SAFETY I THINK THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR ALL THE MPS, GUARDS, POLICE THAT EXPECT NOT TO BE BLINDED BY DRIVERS APPROACHING A GUARD GATE OR CHECKPOINT. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING THIS ISSUE. DAVE SCHULTZ. *AK

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
STEERING WAS KNOWN TO LOCK UP SEVERAL TIMES WHEN TRUCK WAS OWNED FOR LESS THEN SIX MONTHS. WAS IN SHOP FOR STEERING SIX TIMES. FOUR WHEEL DRIVE THEN WENT OUT. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE TRANSMISSION. NO REVERSE AND ONLY HAD 1ST AND 2ND. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY COSTLY. MY DREAM IS NOW A NIGHTMARE. THE STEERING COULD BE FATAL TO ANY DRIVER I JUST GOT LUCKY AND WASN'T DRIVING FAST WHEN IT LOCKED UP.

SUSPENSION
THIS IS CONCERNING AND VERY AGGRAVATING AS IT HAS (2) TIMES CAUSED ME TO SLOW DOWN TO 50 VERY QUICKLY BY HITTING THE BRAKES TO STOP THE VIBRATIONS AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKE. THOUGHT I WOULD LOOSE CONTROL. IT ACTUALLY MAKES YOU HAVE AN UPSET STOMACH WITH THE CONSTANT VIBRATIONS.

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A PROBLEM. FROM TIRES ,ELECTRIC MIRRORS ,ELECTRIC WINDOWS,CLANKING/BANGING DRIVE SHAFT NOISE AND OTHER LITTLE QUIRKS. THE ONLY THING THAT I FEEL THAT WILL LAST (LONGER THAN MY PAYMENTS) IS THE MOTOR. THE DEALER OF THIS AUTO WASN'T MUCH BETTER; "THEY" JUST SAID THAT IT WAS AGOOD THING THAT I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY!!!
