SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
ABS BRAKE SYSTEM FAILS IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO FLOOR AND TRUCK FEELS LIKE IT WONT STOP . HAVE ALMOST HAD ACCIDENTS A FEW TIMES WHEN THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF TIME TO STOP. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERE IS A GROWLING NOIS FROM UNDER THE CAR. FRONT BRAKES WEAR OUT REAR BRAKES HARDLY WORN AFTER 85000 MILES AS THOUGH THEY ARE NOT BEING USED. WIPER MOTER STOPES INTERMITTANTLY IN RAIN . HIGH SPEED DOES NOT WORK. WHEN NOT WORKING CANNOT DRIVE CAR IN RAIN . HAVE HAD STOP WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS DANGEROUS. FOUND THAT YOU HAVE LISTED A RECALL . HOWEVER THE GMC WEB SITE DID NOT OFFER THIS INFORMATION. AS SECOND OWNER OF RECORD I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED . MY DAUGHTER WAS FIRST OWNER AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE SHE WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS.

SUSPENSION:FRONT, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS BRAKES FAIL WHEN YOU APPLY BRAKES WHEN THERE IS A BUMP IN THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD 14 FAILURES IN 2095 MILES. THE BRAKE PEDAL DROPS DOWN SLIGHTLY AND BECOMES SOLID, YOU CAN NOT PUSH DOWN ANYMORE AND THE VEHICLE GLIDES TO A SLOW STOP. IT WILL NOT STOP IN AN EMERGENCY IN THIS CASE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE IN THE SUSPENSION AND THE ABS BRAKES. THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AND DOES NOT RECOVER FAST WHEN YOU GO OVER A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD. AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE WHOLE VEHICLE AND STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES. THE PLASTIC HUB NUTS ALWAYS COME LOOSE WHEN DRIVING.*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO LET UP BEFORE I COULD CONTINUE. LATER, DURING THE SAME DRIVE, I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON THE WIPERS, BUT THEN THEY WOULD NOT TURN OFF UNTIL THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. REPORTED FAILURE TO DEALER AND I WAS CHARGED $149.90 TO REPLACE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT MODULE, P/N 12463017. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DETERIORATION OF THE INNER LINNING OF THE FRONT BRAKE LINES CAUSED THE BRAKES TO LOCKUP AFTER APPLYING. THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE WAS THE ONLY PROBLEM AND WHEN IT WOULD LOCKUP IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO PULL SEVERLY TO THE LEFT. THE FIRST TIME THE BRAKE LOCKED UP IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE INTO THE ON COMING TRAFFIC. *AK
