SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM-94-C-62(B). SINCE THE RECALL I'VE HAD THE TRUCK IN THE DEALERS SHOP 3 TIMES. THEY'VE REPLACED THE SAME SEAT BOLTS EACH TIME. THEY EVEN REPLACED THE SEAT THE SECOND TIME IN THE SHOP. THE LAST TIME IT TOOK OVER A MONTH AND DEALING WITH 3 GM CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE TO GET GM TO PAY FOR IT. WHICH AT THAT TIME GM STATED THAT THEY WOULD NO LONGER PAY FOR ANY FURTHER SEAT REPAIRS. THIS SEAT FEELS LIKE IT MIGHT BE GETTING LOOSE AGAIN. AS THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM ARE THEY ONLY OBLIGATED TO REPAIR IT AS LONG AS THEY WANT? ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT BREAKS AGAIN? EACH TIME IT BREAKS, IT DOES SO WHILE DRIVING. IS THIS JUST AN ISOLATED EVENT OR ARE OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM? GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME MY REOCCURING PROBLEM IS THE ONLY ONE THEY HAVE HEARD OF RELATED TO THIS RECALL. THE DEALER THAT DID THE RECALL WORK IS ROYAL MOORE BUICK/GMC IN HILLSBORO OR.*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS
BACKING UP AT ABOUT 2MPH HIT A PIPE STICKING OUT OF THE GROUND. THE PIPE WAS ABOUT 3 FT. HIGH. IT HIT THE REAR BUMPER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE BUMPER WAS BENT SO BADLY THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR A COST OF ALMOST $600.00. I THINK THIS BUMPER SHOULD HAVE WITHSTOOD THIS TYPE OF ACCIDENT.*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD QUITE INTERMITENTLY SOMETIME NOT COMING BACK ON AT ALL. REPORTED PROBLEM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SPOKE WITH MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL EVEN THOUGH SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME CONTACTED GM THEY ADVISED THAT IT HAD BEEN ADDED SO MADE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP AND TOOK DAY OFF TO GET FIXED AND THEN WAS ADVISED THAT IT WASN'T AFTER ALL. SPOKE TO GM AGAIN WAS ADVISED THAT THEY MADE A MISTAKE AND MORE OR LESS TO GET OVER IT AND JUST PAY TO GET IT FIXED. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT MADE IN THE FACTORY WHERE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS WERE IDENTIFIED AND THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE IT INVALID ANYWAY. IN ADDITION THE A PIECE OF THE FRAME ON THE DIVERS SEAT HAS BROKEN CAUSING THE SEAT TO ROCK. HAVE ALSO BEEN ADVISED THAT I WAS ON MY OWN IN FIXING THIS ONE (ESTIMATE $500 FROM DEALERSHIP). *AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: -98V150001 AND GM TSB NUMBER 98043 THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLES MODEL YEAR TO REPLACE WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL MODULE BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE SOLDER JOINTS. MY TRUCK HAS THIS FAILURE, BUT GMC REFUSES TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE MY VEHICLES VIN IS NOT COVERED IN THEIR RECALL. ACCORDING TO NHTSA THE RECALL COULD AFFECT AS MANY AS 1.5 MILLION VEHICLES, BUT I'VE FOUND REPORTS THAT SAY GM ONLY REPAIRED ABOUT 70,000. I ALSO READ THAT THIS MATTER IS ALREADY UNDER INVESTIGATION, BUT THAT REPORT WAS 6 MONTHS OLD. IS THERE A CURRENT INVESTIGATION? CAN YOU OFFER ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION? *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW, AND AT APPROXIMATELY 23,000 I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT AROUND 55MPH WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED. IT DID NOT SPUTTER OR KNOCK, IT JUST QUIT, ALL THE GAUGES, ENGINE QUIT INSTANTLY. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE KEY OFF, AND THEN RE-STARTED THE ENGINE. MOTOR STARTED WITHOUT HESITATION, AND I PROCEEDED DOWN THE ROAD. TWO DAYS LATER, WITH LOTS OF DRIVING TIME IN BETWEEN, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. IT DIED, I PULLED OVER, TURNED OF IGNITION, AND RE-STARTED THE MOTOR, AND AGAIN THE MOTOR STARTED WITHOUT HESITATION. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER, I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED AND AGAIN THE SAME THING, EXCEPT THIS TIME THE MOTOR WOULD NOT RE-START. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL PUMP HAD FAILED. IT WAS REPLACED AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO, APPROXIMATLEY 05/15/2001, MY VEHICLE STARTED TO BEHAVE IN THE SAME WAY. WHILE TURNING LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE DIED, AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFICE THAT WAS APPROACHING. I RE-STARTED THE ENGINE AND PROCEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS OCCURED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS, WITH THE MOST RECENT EVENT OCCURING YESTERDAY, 07222001, IN WHICH I WAS ALMOST "T-BONED" AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED. I HAVE KEPT THE FUEL FILTER CHANGED AND I NOT USE THE SAME GAS STATION CONSITANTLY. THE FUEL PUMP HAS ALWAYS MADE A LOUD BUZZING NOISE, EVEN THE FIRST PUMP THAT WAS REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP MADE THIS SAME NOISE. I UNDERSTAND THAT GMC RE-DESIGNED THIS PUMP FOR THIS 1997 MODEL. WHAT REALY GOT ME INTERESTED IN THIS PROBLEM, IS NOT ONLY THE FACT THAT I HAVE HAD SOME CLOSE CALLS WITH ALMOST BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT ONE OF MY CO-WORKERS IS HAVING THE SAME APPARANT PROBLEM WITH HER "1997 GMC JIMMY." IT HAS THE SAME VORTEC V6 ENGINE AS MY TRUCK. THE DELEARSHIPT STATED THEY CAN NOT ID THE PROBLEM, UNLESS IT "RUNS A CODE, OR FAILS WHILE THEY HAVE IT. THANKS.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN PULLING OFF ROAD ONTO DIRT, GRAVEL, OR GRASS AT ANY SPEED ABOVE ABOUT 10MPH, THE BRAKES BECOME UNRESPONSIVE, VIBRATE, FADE, FAIL TO SLOW VEHICLE, AND PEDAL PRESSURE BECOMES EXCESSIVE AND SEEMS TO LOCK UP. I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM. VERY SCARY! SHOULD THIS SYSTEM ENGAGE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. IT IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT, A PANIC STOP SITUATION, JUST NORMAL "PULLING OFF THE ROAD TO STOP" SITUATIONS.*AK
