SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
BRAKE SYSTEM FAILS TO STOP VEHICLE WHEN BRAKING IN NORMAL MANNER (NON-PANIC STOP) AT SLOW SPEEDS ON ROUGH SURFACE OR WHEN ENCOUNTERING "BRAKING BUMPS" ON ASPHALT ROADS. BRAKE PEDAL SHUDDERS BRIEFLY INDICATING ABS IS ENGAGING, THEN BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES SOFT AND DEPRESSES FULLY WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF STOPPING POWER UNTIL BRAKES ARE RELEASED AND REAPPPLIED. CONDITION IS BOTH DISCONCERTING AND DANGEROUS PARTICULARLY ON DOWNHILLS - ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN NARROWLY AVOIDED OR HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DRIVE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD SURFACE TO AVOID HITTING OTHERS. PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, RESPONSE IS ALWAYS THAT THIS IS A "NORMAL CONDITION" (COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE??). THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ROUTINELY WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE - TOTAL NUMBER OF INCIDENCES WOULD EASILY EXCEED 100 DURING THE TIME I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHCILE (ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK FOR OVER A YEAR).

WHEELS
THE SPARE TIRE HOLDER BROKE OFF AND THE SPARE TIRE WAS RELEASED FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE TRUCK ONTO THE ROADWAY. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF IT HAD OCCURRED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT A FASTER SPEED. AN INSPECTION OF THE FAILED ASSEMBLY SHOWS THAT IT IS HELD UP BY A SINGLE THIN STEEL CABLE, WHICH WAS BROKEN, ALLOWING THE ASSEMBLY TO RELEASE THE SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL. DT

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS BEEN STICKING INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST 5 MONTHS. IT TAKES EXTRA EFFORT TO MOVE THE PEDAL FROM THE NEUTRAL (REST) POSITION IN ORDER TO ACCELERATE.

NOTE: I KNOW OF TWO OTHER GMC SIERRA AND CHEVY SILVERADO OWNES AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. BOTH HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM (BOTH ARE YEAR 1999 VEHICLES, ONE 2WD, THE OTHER 4WD). MY VEHICLE IS A 2WD REGUALR CAB SHORT BED PICKUP. MR
