ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 1997 AND WITHIN 30 DAYS THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT.I TOOK MY TRUCK TO CHEVY LAND TO HAVE THE PUMP REPLACED. THIS TOOK OVER 3 WEEKS AND WE HAD TO GO THREW ABOUT 4 OR 5 PUMPS . I THEN WENT OUT AND BOUGHT A BRAND NEW PUMP, NOT A REBUILT ONE AND THEN IT RAN O.K FOR A SHORT TIME AND BACK TO DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. WE TOOK IT BACK IN AGAIN AND THE PUMP WAS BAD AGAIN. I HAD TOLD THEM TO REBUILD MY PUMP THAT WAS ON MY TRUCK BECAUSE IT WAS VERY NEW AND I WAS TOLD BY CHEVY LAND THAT THEY WOULD REBUILD MY FUEL PUMP, BUT THEY DIDNT, THEY SAID THEY SENT MY PUMP OFF TO BE FIXED AND REPLACED IT WITH A OLDER REBUILT ONE THEY HAD THERE. I PICK UP MY TRUCK AND WITHIN 24 HOURS THE TRUCK WAS DOING THE VERY SAME THING AS BEFORE WE REPLACED THIS PUMP. WE CALLED UP TO CHEVY LAND AND THEY HAD THE TRUCK TOWED IN TO THE SHOP. THIS IS WHERE THE TRUCK SAT FOR MANY DAYS AND WEEKS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO FIX IT . BUT THEY COULDNT. THE SERVICE MANGER EVEN SAID HE COULDNT FIX IT . THEY HAD NO IDEA TO WHAT WAS WRONG NOW WITH MY TRUCK, AND THAT THEY JUST COULDNT FIX IT. SO IT SAT FOR MANY WEEKS . WHEN I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE DEPT TO SEE WHEN IT WAS GOING TO BE DONE WITH MY TRUCK .THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE DONE WITH IT AS HE SAID THEY JUST COULDNT FIX IT. SO WHAT WAS I TO DO WITH A TRUCK THAT WONT RUN. I THEN WENT BACK UP TO THE SHOP TO TELL THEM WE WOULD BE BACK TO GET THE TRUCK WHEN I SAW THAT MY TRUCK HAD BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE ALL THIS TIME IN THE RAN WITH BOTH FRONT WINDOWS LEFT DOWN AND BOTH MY BATTERYS WERE COMPLETELY DEAD . I THEN HAD TO GO BUY TWO MORE BATTERYS FOR THE TRUCK I HAVE SPENT OVER 11000.00 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS FOR THIS TRUCK IN THE LAST YEAR AND THIS IS WHERE I SPENT ALL OF THE MONEY AT IS CHEVY LAND. BUT WHEN I TAKE A NON RUNNING TRUCK INTO THE REPAIR SHOP AND MONTHS GO BY AND MY TRUCK IS LEFT TO ROT IN THE RAIN AND ALL THE TIME TELLING ME THAT YOU CANT FIX IT SO ON THAT NOTE I TOOK MY TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED BACK HOME AND STOPPED PAYMENT.HELP ME PLEASE.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CALIPER
VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO SHOP SEVERAL TIMES. FIRST TIME: FRONT CALIPERS REBUILT. NO CHANGE. SECOND TIME: FRONT CALIPERS REPLACED. REAR BRAKE SHOES REPLACED WITH A TYPE NOT ORIGINALLY MEANT FOR MY TRUCK. ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION REMOVED AND JACKS INSTALLED SO THAT ALIGNMENT COULD BE PERFORMED TO SPECS FROM SOME GM ENGINEERS THAT WERE CONTACTED. STILL PULLS, BUT MUCH BETTER. AFTER SOME TIME, NOTICED DS FRONT TIRE WEARING ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE. THIRD TIME: INFORMED THEM OF ABNORMAL WEAR AND THAT TRUCK STILL PULLS UNDER BRAKING. THEY REALIGNED IT AND THE "GMC AREA SERVICE MANAGER" ROAD TESTED IT OK. IT STILL PULLS UNDER BRAKING AND NOW IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT CONSTANTLY. I CALLED THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP, HE HAS ME CONTACT THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR A MEETING WITH THE GMC AREA SERVICE MANAGER. WE TAKE IT FOR A ROAD TEST. HE CLAIMS HE CANNOT FEEL A BRAKE PULL, BUT AGREES THAT IT NEEDS ALIGNED. I ASKED HIM TO REPLACE OR REPURCHASE THE TRUCK. HE WOULD NOT BUT OFFERED A 5 YEAR/75K MILE WARRANTY. I ACCEPTED. FOURTH TIME: FRONT END ALIGNED AGAIN. TRUCK DRIVES NORMALLY AGAIN, BUT NOW IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT, WHILE BRAKING, WORSE THAN EVER. I WAS LOOKING FOR THE LEMON LAW WHEN I FOUND THIS SITE. I CANNOT FIND ANY TSB'S OR RECALLS ON MY TRUCK, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT THE ONLY TRUCK THEY HAVE FOUND WITH THIS PROBLEM. SO THERE MUST BE MANY MORE OUT THERE, WHY ISN'T GMC ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM? I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THIS. THANKS. [email protected]

SEATS
THE SEAT METAL CRACKED ON BOTH SIDES ON FRONT OF SEAT, SOMETIMES THE EDGES CATCH ON EACH OTHER AND THEN SUDDENLY RELEASES WHEN MOTION IS STARTED. THIS HAPPENED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND FOUND MYSELF LOOKING AT THE HEADLINER OF THE TRUCK (THE SHOULDER BELT KEEPS YOU FROM GOING FORWARD, NOT BACKWARDS) THE SEAT BACK KEEPS YOU FROM GOING BACKWARDS. WHAT HAPPENS IS THE LOWER SEAT CUSHION TILTS UP TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH IN TURN CAN PULL THE FEET OFF THE CONTROLS AND AT THE SAME TIME THE CHEST AND HEAD GOES BACKWARDS, THIS COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL ESPECIALLY IF THE HANDS SLIP OFF THE STEERING. I SAW THAT THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS, BUT NO RECALL. I WILL CONTACT THE DEALER AGAIN TO SEE IF THEY HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THIS.
