PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL
I OWN A 1999 GMC SIERRA 3 DOOR TRUCK. I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN MY BRAKES FOR SOME REASON FAILED. I TRIED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK BUT IT ALSO FAILED. AFTER PUSHING THE TRUCK HOME, I CHECKED ALL THE BRAKES AND LOOKED OKAY EXCEPT FOR THE REAR RIGHT EMERGENCY BRAKE LINING. IT WAS COMPLETELY WORN OUT TO THE METAL. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. IM NOT SURE WHY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE GTT WORN OUT IF THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME USING IT.*AK

STEERING:COLUMN
A GMC SERVICE MANAGER CONVEYED TO ME THAT SEVERAL GM TRUCK OWNERS HAVE REPORTED EXCESSIVE WEAR TO THE STEERING SHAFT LEADING THROUGH THE FIREWALL. WEAR AT A U JOINT OCCURS AROUND 15,000 TO 25,000 MILES DUE TO EXCESSIVE TORQUE ON THE JOINT, AS EXPLAINED TO ME BY A GM SERVICE MANAGER. GM HAS RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM BY PROVIDING A NEW STEERING ROD. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT KEPT THE OLD PART. HOPEFULLY THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM. THIS FIX CAME AT A COST OF $180.00 TO ME. THIS COST, I BELIEVE, SHOULD BE BORN BY GM. IF THE STEERING ROD IS LEFT UNREPLACED, COULD LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL RESULT FOR THESE VEHICLES OVER TIME? I OWN A 2001 GMC SIERRA 2500HD, 6 LITER, V8.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
MY 2002 GMC SIERRA HAS A BRAKING PROBLEM WHEN STOPPING FROM A SLOW SPEED. I TOOK MY CONCERN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE REAR ROTORS WERE RUSTED AND MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A WARRANTY ISSUE AS THE TRUCK HAS 32,000 MILES AND IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD, IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT IS. THEY TELL ME IT IS BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST AND IS NOT A DEFECT IN MATERIALS. IN 2002 AT A BRAKE SYMPOSIUM, SPONSERED BY THE MANUFACTURERS, IT WAS NOTED THAT GMC TOOK THE METAL CHROMIUM OUOF THE ROTOR ALLOY TO SAVE MONEY. CHROMIUM RESISTS RUST. IS THERE ANY HELP AVAILABLE?

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 GMC HD PICKUP WHEN I LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME DUE TO A SHAFT IN THE POWER STEERING PUMP BREAKING. THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ARE BOTH DRIVEN BY THE SAME PUMP. THE REPAIR SHOP INDICATED THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM AND THE SHAFT WAS A "POOR" DESIGN BECAUSE IT NARROWS AT ONE END WHICH IS WHERE THEY HAVE SEEN THEM BREAK IN SIMILAR VEHICLES. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AFTER DRIVING OVER ABOUT 40 MILES AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE TRANSMISSION WILL BEGIN SLIPPPING IN OD. RPM SLOWLY CLIMBS TO ABOUT 3200 (NORMALLY 2100 AT HIGHWAY SPEED) WITH NO CHANGE IN VEHICLE SPEED, AND EVENTUALLY THE 'TRANSMISSION HIGH TEMPERATURE' WARNING APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY. SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO IDLE FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS AND THEN RETURNING TO DRIVE WILL TEMPORARILY CLEAR THE PROBLEM, BUT IT SOMETIMES RETURNS.*AK
