#703666February 23, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:PADS
THIS TRUCK HAS WORN THROUGH 4 SETS OF FRONT BRAKE PADS, INCLUDING THE SET ON THE TRUCK WHEN WE PURCHASED IT. THE ORIGINAL PADS WERE REPLACED AT 8,000 MILES. THE SECOND SET REPLACED AT 15,000 MILES. THE THIRD SET AT 23,000 MILES. THIS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A VEHICLE THAT YOU'VE PAID NEARLY $30,000 FOR! WE WANT GMC FORCED TO REPURCHASE THIS VEHICLE. THEY OBVIOUSLY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND I DO NOT WANT A VEHICLE THAT I AM REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS ON EVERY 6000 TO 8000 MILES. GMC HAS CONTINOUSLY TOLD US "TO WORK WITH THE DEALER". THAT HAS DONE US NO GOOD AT ALL. WE WANT SATISFACTION FROM GM!!!

#702042January 8, 1999
STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING, SHAKING AND BURNING GAS LIKE A GAS GUZZLER, TOOK IT TO DEALER AND SAID THAT TWO INJECTORS WERE DAMAGED, REPLACED ONE AND REPAIRED THE OTHER. AT IDLE (750 RPM)SPEED ENGINE IS INTERMITTENT . AS FOR THE STEERING, WHILE DRIVING AT CRUISING 45-65 MPH IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE, STEERING FELT LIKE A FEATHER IN THE AIR, UNCONTROLLABLE. UNIT WAS TAKEN TO DEALER IN THREE DIFFERENT OCASIONS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, EVERY TIME WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT, AS I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE PERSONS. ON JULY 16/98 DROVE IT TO A DIFFERENT GMC DEALER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM A WEEK AFTER I PICK IT UP AND WAS INFORMED THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE PS PUMP. STILL, TO PARK THE VEHICLE IS A NIGHTMARE, YOU HAVE TO STRUGGLE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL, LIKE THE OLD TIMES WHEN TRUCKS DID NOT HAVE PS. SEEMS LIKE A HAVE A LEMON BUT SINCE IN PR THERE IS NO LEMON LAW I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE PAYING GMAC IN ORDER TO PROTECT MY CREDIT.
