SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SEATS
I WAS HAVING TROUBLE MOVING THE DRIVERS FRONT SEAT FORWARD OR BACKWARDS, I LEFT IT IN THE FOWARD POSITION AS I WAS DRIVING ALONG A CITY STREET ,I CAME UP TO A LIGHT AND THE SEAT ANCHORAGE BECAME BROKEN CAUSING ME TO STRICK THE STEERING WHEEL.I FEEL THAT IF I HAD BEEN GOING FASTER THEN 25MPH I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HURT WORSE. I HAD A FACTORY DEFECT ON THE FRONT SEAT BELTS,WHICH I HAD TAKEN TO THE DEALER ,I WAS ADVICED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT IN AND HAD TO BE ORDERED. THIS WAS BACK IN NOVEMBER OR SO TO THE BEST OF MY RECLLACTION. 2-28-2001 I CALLED THE GMC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE OFFICE SPOKE WITH A GMC REPRESENTATIVE AND DECLARE MY PROBLEM , I WANTED THIS DEFICIENCY TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY,AND I WAS ADVICED THAT IT WAS NOT. NOW WHAT GOOD IS THE SEAT BELT DOING ME WHEN THE SEAT WILL NOT STAY ,I HAVE BEEN USING MY LEFT FOOT FOR SUPPORT AGAINST THE BRAKE RELEASE THAT IS MOUNTED ON THE SIDE OF THE DRIVERS DOOR,IT KEEPS ME FROM GOING FOWARD AT SLOW SPEEDS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY STOPS? WHAT GOOD IS THIS TYPE OF SAFETY SEAT BELT IF THE SEAT WILL NOT STAY STATIONARY,IF THIS HAPPEN TO MY VEHICLE I DONT DOUBT IT WILL HAPPEN TO SOME ONE ELSE AND MYBE THEY WONT BE SO LUCKY.ANOTHER SAFETY FEATURE THAT WAS INSTALLED BE THE MANUFACTURE IS THE ANTILOCK BRAKES, THEY ARE ALSO NOT COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY LIKE THE EMISSION SYSTEM, I FEEL THAT THE SEAT AND ANTILOCK BRAKES SHOULD BE MORE OF A SAFETY CONCERN THEN THE EMISSION SYSTEM.ANY INFORMATION WILL BE KINDLY APPRECIATED THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.*AK

ABS MOTOR STARTED RUNNING LOADLY CONTINUOUSLY. ABS LIGHT ON. HAD TO HAVE MOTOR DISCONNECTED, SO DON'T HAVE ABS NOW. OUR MECHANIC SAID HE HAS SEEN SEVERAL 1999-2000 GMC/CHEVROLET TRUCKS WITH THIS PROBLEM. WE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS; THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL, TRUCK OUT OF WARRANTY, IT'S OUR PROBLEM. WE ARE TOLD IT WILL COST APPROX. $1300 FOR REPAIR. WE BELIEVE IT IS A MANUFACTURER/SAFETY DEFECT.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
THE ABS SYSTEM VIBRATES AT A LOW RATE AND VEHICLE WILL NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN APPLYING CONSTANT PRESSURE ON BRAKES. THERE APPEARS TO BE A 2 TO 3 SECOND DELAY BETWEEN THE TIME ABS TAKES OVER AND WHEN YOU HAVE COME CONTROL OVER THE BRAKING OF THE VEHICLE. THIS TIME ELAPSE CAUSES YOU TO USE OTHER MEANS FOR AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT SUCH AS VEERING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT TO AVOID CONTACT DURING HEAVY BRAKING. THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO OCCUR IF THE REAR DRIVETRAN LOSES CONTACT WITH THE ROAD SURFACE DURING LIGHT BRAKING. THE DRIVER HAS TO ALWAYS BE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP TO BE ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS ON THIS VEHICLE ICES UP COMPLETELY DURING WINTER HIGHWAY DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OVER 45 MPH. THE TIME IT TAKES FOR THE MIRRORS TO ICE UP COMPLETELY IS USUALLY LESS THAN 15 MINUTES FROM INITIAL START.
