VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
RECALL 03V159000. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WITH A BAD PART. THIS MADE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS INOPERATIVE. ALSO THE DEALERSHIP MISJUDGED THE CAUSE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE, AND WANTED TO CHARGE THE CONSUMER FOR A PART THAT THEY THOUGHT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK *SCC *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN USING FEATURE "FLY BY WIRE THROTTLE" THE ACCELERATOR CANNOT BE CONTROLLED.*MR WHEN ENCOUNTERING ANYTHING MORE THAN THE SLIGHTEST BUMP OR VARIATION IN THE ROAD OR ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT OVER A BUMP ETC. ACTION WAS UNABLE TO BE CONTROLLED AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS SEVERELY DEPRESSED WHICH CAUSED AN INCREASE IN SPEED AND THEN A VOLUNTARY RELEASE OF THE ACCELERATOR, EVEN WHEN THE CONSUMER KNEW HE WAS APPROACHING A BUMP, HE WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE ACCELERATOR. *TS *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND CONTINUED TO RUN CAUSING MY BATTERY TO RUN DOWN. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE FOR 1999 -2003 GMC SIERRA'S AND CHEVROLET SILVERADOS. GM DEALERSHIPS WANT NEARLY $800 TO MAKE THIS REPAIR FOR A PART THAT WAS DEFECTIVE IN DESIGN AND IN QUALITY. THE NTSB AND/OR NHTSA SHOULD MANDATE THAT GM RECALL AND CORRECT THE DEFICIENCIES IN THEIR PRODUCT INSTEAD OF SIMPLY ISSUING A SERVICE BULLETIN JUST ONE MONTH PRIOR TO MY WARRANTY RUNNING OUT.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DIFFERENTIAL PROPORTIONAL VALVE
ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY 1999 GMC SIERRA HAD PROBLEMS BRAKING CAUSE CLOSE COLLISIONS. WHEN PRESSING ON BRAKE AT LOW SPEEDS TO COME TO A STOP BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD TO PRESS DOWN. SEEMED LIKE BRAKE BOOSTER WENT OUT. HAD TO APPLY EXTREAM AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE TO AVOID COLLISION. HAD VEHICLE CHECKED OUT BY CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHICH FOUND NOTHING AFTER HOOKING UP DIAGNOSTICS TEST AND ALSO MANUALLY CHECKING OUT BRAKES. FOUND NOTHING ON COMPUTER TO SAY WHY BRAKES FAILED. IF ANYONE KNOWS WHY THIS IS PLEASE EMAIL ME AT [email protected] LUCKLY THERE HAS BEEN NO COLLISIONS.*AK
