SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT ADJUSTMENT BROKE FREE AND THE SEAT SLID FORWARD. BECAUSE OF THE ANCHORAGE OF THE SEAT BELT BEING THE SEAT ITSELF, NOTHING HELD ME BACK FROM CONTACT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. FORTUNATELY THIS HAPPENED AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIR COST IN THE AMOUNT OF $513.11 FROM GM WHO WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
ABS MODULE FAILED, CAUSING PUMP TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY. NECESSITATED REMOVING FUSE ON ABS SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES BRAKE LIGHT & ABS LIGHT TO BURN ALL THE TIME. DEALER SAID MY PROBLEM, NOT GM'S. TRUCK HAS BEEN DEALER SERVICED AT ALL REQUIRED TIMES. I WOULD THINK A BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE, EVEN IF A REDUNDENT SYSTEM, WOULD POSE A SAFETY ISSUE & REPAIRED BY GM. THE ABS SYSTEM WAS STANDARD EQUIPMENT, NOT OPTIONAL TO THE BUYER.*AK
