WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN,APPLIED THE BRAKE WAS ALMOST TO A STOP THEN THE BRAKES FAILED FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND I ROLLED THROUGH THE STOP SIGN INTO THE INTERSECTION!! THIS WAS GOING ON ALL THE TIME WHEN THE BRAKES WERE BEING APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST TO A STOP AROUND 10 MPH. I TALKED TO A GARAGE AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE ABS BRAKES SO I REMOVED THE ABS FUSE FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED I JUST DON'T HAVE ABS BRAKES.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DT: THE ENGINE HAS DIED, ONCE WHILE DRIVING AND ONCE AT A STOP SIGN. THE TRANSMISSION WAS JUMPING AND WAS PUT IN NEUTRAL TO STEER TO ANOTHER LANE. THE OTHER TIME THERE WAS NO SIGN OF A PROBLEM BEFORE ENGINE STALLED OUT. THERE HAS BEEN MANY TIMES THIS HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. HAVE BEEN WITH GM A FEW TIMES AND THEY CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THEY WOULD SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO CHECK OUT THE TRUCK. THEY NEVER SENT ONE, AS OF TODAY, GM SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T DO THAT. CONSUMER WANTED A BUY BACK. CONSUMER TALKED TO BBB TODAY, THEY SAID THAT THE CONSUMER MIGHT BE GETTING A CALL FROM GM. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES, ALL DUE TO TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE RELATED PROBLEMS. DEALER HAS TRIED TO FIX PROBLEM 3 DIFFERENT TIMES, BUT THAT IS NOT WORKING AND HAS MADE CONDITION WORSE THAN BEFORE. *TT

WHEN DRIVING BELOW 10 MILES PER HOUR MY VEHICLE ABS BREAKS ARE VIBRATING . SO YOU HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES AND THEN YOU GET A SOFT BREAK PEDAL AND YOU NEED TO KEEP PUMPING THE BREAK PEDAL TO STOP THE VIBRATION.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
RIGHT REAR BRAKE OF 2002 GMC SIVERADO 2500HD DOES NOT RELEASE COMPLETELY. RIM GETS HOT AND BRAKES SMOKE. GM DEALER ON SECOND SERVICE PROBLEM INSTALLED COVERS OVER THE BRAKES TO KEEP ROAD GRIM OUT. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. JUST DROPPED OFF TRUCK FOR THE THIRD TIME WITH THE SAME ISSUES AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. RIM IS DESTROYED DUE TO HEAT AND BRAKE DUST. TRUCK HAS 11,000 MILES ON IT

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE ABS KICKS ON. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING LESS THAN 8 MPH. NO CODES ARE SET AND THE ABS LIGHT IS NOT ILLUMINATED. THIS MATCHES YOUR NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE05020. THE DEALERSHIP STATES IT IS THE EXACT PROBLEM GM IS MONITORING WITH THE 1999 - 2002. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT INCLUDING THE 1998 MODELS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE
I DONT REALLY KNOW WHAT LEAD UP TO THE FAILURE BUT THE PASS LOCK ANTI THEFT SYSTEM ON THE GM PRODUCTS REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT OR NOT START AT ALL. 90 % OFF THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM ON THEM HAVE PROBLEMS. GM MECHANICS SAY IT IS THE IGNITION SWITCH OR THIS OR THAT BUT IT ISNT IT IS THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM. AFTER PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED IT STILL HAPPENS. I LIVE IN A SMALL RURAL COMMUNITY WITH ALOT OF TRAINS AND I DONT FEEL THAT MY TRUCK SHOULD BE STALLING ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. AFTER LOOKING AROUND ON THE NET TO FIND HELP THERE IS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE VEHICLE STALLS IN THE WRONG PLACE OR AN EMERGENCY COMES UP AND IT WILL NOT START. SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. I BELEIVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. MY VEHICLE ITSELF STALLED FOR 10 MIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT COULD FIX THE PROBLEM EXCEPT THERE IS WAYS TO BYPASS IT. REWIRE YOUR IGNITION SWITCH. THIS COULD CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS. OR YOU CAN BUY A FIFTY DOLLAR BYPASS MODULE. THEN YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE SECURITY LIGHT ON. YA YOU COULD UNPLUG THE LIGHT IN THE MESSAGE CENTER BUT WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER ALERTS THAT COME UP IN THERE. YOU WOULD LOOSE THEM. I WOULD RATHER HAVE MY SECURITY SYSTEM WORKING PROPERLY SO THAT IF SOMEONE TRYS TO STEAL MY VEHICLE THEY HAVE A HARDER TIME DOING SO & SO MY FAMILY AND I DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT STALLING SOMEWHERE. I WOULD THINK THAT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT GM GETS ABOUT THIS THEY WOULD HAVE A BIT OF AN IDEA TO FIX IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

SUSPENSION:FRONT
I HAD THE DEALER DO A SCHEDULE TIRE ROTATION, AND ON THEY WAY HOME I REACHED THE SPEED OF 40 MPH THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE LIKE I WAS GOING OVER SPEED BUMPERS. THIS STOPPED BUT THE FRONT END STILL BOUNCES WHEN EVER YOU GO OVER A SERIES OF SMALL BUMPS THE WHOLE FRONT JUST SHAKES YOU HAVE TO USE TWO HANDS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN CONTROL, DON'T USE THE BRAKE THE PEDAL GOES SOFT UNTIL YOU ARE OUT THE ROUGH ROAD. I HAVE HAD THE TIRES REPLACED AND BUT NEW RIMS ON THE VEHICLE. THE BOUNCE IS STILL NOTICEABLE AT SPEEDS OVER 40, THE ROAD DOES NOT CHANGE THE EFFECT. THE CROWNING OF THE ROAD IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAYS THE FRONT IS TIGHT AND CAN NOT DUPLICATE MY PROBLEM SO THEY CAN NOT FIX IT. THE SERVICE MANGER SAYS I'VE LOWERED MY FRONT END THIS GMC SIERRA IS TOTALLY OEM EXC FOR TIRE, AND AFTERMARKET DRESS.I HAD THE TRUCK ALIGNED AND THE THRUST ANGLE WAS OFF SO MY SON-INLAW AND I DID A THRUST ALIGNMENT FIRST AND THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT. ALSO ONE OF THE UPPER CONTROL ARM BOLTS WAS SLIGHTLY LOOSE, YOU COULD SEE THE BROWN RUSTY POWDER AROUND THE BUSHING SO THIS WAS LOOSE FOR SOME TIME. I AM A DIESEL MECHANIC SO I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG LOOSE, OR WORN OUT THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THINGS DO WEAR OUT AND I DO NOT MIND PAYING FOR THINGS TO BE DONE CORRECTLY

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I OWN A 2001 GMC SIERRA PICKUP AND HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THE RECENT INVESTIGATION YOU ARE DOING ON THE BRAKES FADING AT SLOW SPEEDS. OVER THE WINTER THIS VEHICLE STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. LESS THAN 10 MPH IT ACTS LIKE THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ARE KICKING IN EXCEPT THE DIFFERENCE IS IT WONT STOP. YOU MUST QUICKLY PUMP THE PEDAL AND THEN THE BRAKES WORK. I AM TOLD THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND MY HOPES ARE THAT THERE WILL BE A RECALL AND GM WILL HAVE TO PICK UP THE TAB. CAN YOU TELL ME IF THIS IS A POSSIBILITY IN THE NEAR FUTURE OR SHOULD I HAVE THEM REPAIRED AND HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN? I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO LET YOUR INVESTIGATORS INSPECT MY TRUCK AS IT IS NOT A RANDOM ISSUE. IT WILL HAPPEN EVERY TIME YOU BRAKE LESS THAN 10 MPH. THANK YOU.
