SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WITH ONLY 20000 MILES OF LIGHT DRIVING (NO PULLING CONDITIONS), THE FRONT PADS WERE WORN TO THE POINT NEEDING REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER ADMITTED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN PADS WEAR OUT ON MY VEHICLE AT 15000 MILES IN SOME CASES. THIS, TO ME AND EVERY MECHANIC I'VE SPOKEN TO, SEEMS EXTREMELY EXCESSIVE.

SUSPENSION:FRONT, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
I TOOK DELIVERY OF VEHICLE ON 3-1-99. NOTICED FRONT END VIBRATION AT 65 MPH. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A GOODYEAR TIRE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED ALL TIRES. PROBLEM REMAINED AS WELL AS FEELING A SHAKING IN THE STEERING ON ROUGH OR BUMPY ROADS. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A DRIVE SHAFT PROBLEM. SHIMS WERE PLACED IN THE DRIVESHAFT. PROBLEM THEN BECAME MUCH WORSE. VIBRATION SHOOK ENTIRE VEHICLE MAKING STEERING DIFFICULT. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER. SHIMS WERE REMOVED. GM KNOWS ABOUT MULTIPLE PROBLEMS AND THEIR ONLY REPLY WAS "IN 70 DAYS WE MIGHT HAVE A FIX". IN 70 DAYS THE DRIVESHAFT MIGHT COME UP THROUGH THE FLOOR OF MY TRUCK, TOO. PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. GM SURE DOESN'T CARE! I HAVE CONSULTED THREE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS - TWO CHEVROLET AND ONE GMC. THEY ALL ADMITTED TO HAVING AT LEAST 6 OR 7 TRUCKS WITH THESE PROBLEMS. MULTIPLY THAT BY THE NUMBER OF CHEVROLET AND GMC DEALERSHIPS IN THIS COUNTRY AND YOU WILL SEE THE MAGNITUDE OF THESE PROBLEMS. NONE OF US CAN TAKE ON GM. PLEASE HELP US. I MIGHT SUGGEST THAT IF GM CAN CORRECT THE PROBLEMS, THAT THEY OFFER A FREE EXTENDED WARRANTEE TO ALL WHO WERE AFFECTED BY THESE PROBLEMS. *AK
