POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WE HAVE A 2001 GMC CREW CAB THAT WE HAVE HAD FOR 26 MONTHS. BE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW SO WE WOULD BE LESS LIKELY TO HAVE PROBLEMS. WE HAVE HAD 3 NEW TRANSMISSIONS (NOT INCLUDING THE FACTORY ONE). IT IS IN THE REPAIR SHOP AGAIN BECAUSE WHEN YOU PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE IT DIES. NOT EVERY TIME BUT IT HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN. IT WAS IN THE SHOP BEFORE FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WHICH RESULTED IN 1 OF THE 3 NEW TRANSMISSIONS. LETS HOPE IT DOESN'T NEED ANOTHER ONE. THIS IS GETTING OLD!!!!!!!!!!!

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, STEERING, SEATS
WHEN THE ABS BRAKES WERE PRESSED HARD THE STEERING LOCKED AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT IT WAS THE CHARACTERISTIC OF VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC WILL NOT REPAIR VEHICLE BASED ON INFORMATION FROM MANUFACTURER. *AK THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES EXPERIENCED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE MINOR DAMAGE AS THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THE EDGES OF THE SEAT WERE WORN. *SC

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
GM HAS ADMITTED IT HAS FAULTY SEALS ON THE COOLENT SYSTEM AND HAS CLAIMED DEX COOL IS FINE BUT THE RADIATOR CAPS ARE FAULTY AS THEY CORODE. IF THE DEX COOL CORODES THE CAPS WILL IT NOT FOLLOW IT MAY CORODE OTHER PARTS OF THE SYSTEM? AND IF GM HAS ADMITTED INSTALLING FAULTY SEALS WHY WON'T THEY AT LEAST RECALL THIS PART AND FIX IT INSTEAD OF MAKING THE CONSUMER FIX IT FOR THEM. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIANCING COOLING SYSTEM PROBLEMS AND WISH THE COMPANY WOULD AT LEAST FIX THE PROBLEMS THEY ADMIT TO. I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO THE GARAGE ONE DAY AND FIND ALL THE COOLANT ON THE FLOOR.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
"REFER TO PRIOR COMPLAINT- ID VQ-528687-YN-PDF" WHEN A WHEEL SKIDS A VERY,VERY,VERY SHORT DISTANCE WHILE BRAKING, ABS DOES NOT ENGAGE BUT LOCKS OUT CONVENTIONAL BRAKING! NO BRAKES, NO STOP. WHEN TOWING A 7000+ POUND LOAD IT GIVES YOU A VERY NEGATIVE THRILL. NO FIX FROM DEALER OR GMC, TRIED MANY, MANY TIMES. REMOVED 60 AMP ABS FUSE! TRUCK STOPS BUT IT IS NOT WHAT SHOULD BE DONE. I HAVE DRIVEN THE TRUCK 116000 MILES, 40000 WITH THE FUSE REMOVED. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OTHER THAN JUNKING IT, REPLACING THE FUSE AND KILLING MYSELF AND OTHERS, ETC. PLEASE ADVISE. IT APPEARS TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE ABS PROBLEM ON 1995 AND EARLIER TRUCKS THAT PROMPTED A (MFG?) RECALL BUT GMC DENIES IT. AT THAT TIME I SPOKE WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT WAS INVESTIGATING THE ABS PROBLEM. EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD GIVE HIM THE BEST CHANCE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT LATER THAT IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ABS COMPUTER HAD A PROGRAMMING PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE GMC DEVELOPED A FIX FOR IT. WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP ME ON THIS?

STEERING
I BOUGHT A 1997 GMC SIERRA IN 1999. THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING WITH IT, AND SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, IS ON OCCASION, WHEN I MAKE A TURN, EITHER TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT, THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE STEERING COMPLETELY. THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL IS FINE. IT ONLY DOES THIS FOR A MINUTE PORTION OF A SECOND, AND THEN RETURNS TO NORMAL.*LA
