SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE ABS PUMP STARTED RUNNING WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS TO PULL THE FUSE. THE POWER WINDOW ON DRIVERSIDE WILL GO DOWN A LITTLE THEN STOP, YOU HAVE TO KEEP PUSHING ON THE BUTTON TO GET IT ALL THE WAY DOWN WHICH TAKES A LOT OF TIME, SAME WAY WHEN YOU GO TO PUT IT BACK UP. THE THROTTLE STICKS WHEN YOU GO TO ACCELERATE, DID IT A LITTLE NEW NOW DOES IT A LOT. I HAVE CONTACTED GM THEY SAID THAT THE TRUCK IS TO OLD KNOW FOR THEM TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE HEARD THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT THERES OCCURED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY

BOTH REAR ROTORS HAVE HEAVY CORROSION. INBOARD DISC PADS WORE TO METAL. OUT BOARD PADS HAVE OVER 1/4" LEFT ON THEM. EMERGENCY BRAKES HAVE STUCK AND WORE OUT. 42,000 MILES IS TOO EARLY TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM! IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAD NO IDEA THAT MY ROTORS WERE GROOVED AND THE BRAKES WORN OUT. THERE WAS NO INDICATION. DEARLERSHIP WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT SAYING THAT IT IS NORMAL WEAR. OTHER DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS NOT. GMC SO FAR HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Z71 TRUCK TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 55,000 MILES. GM STATES THAT MY VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION & THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I DID TO CAUSE THE FAILURE. GM SERVICE BULLETIN (DOC. #225207) STATES THAT THE VCM CAN CAUSE ERRATIC LINE PRESSURE WITH THE 4L60-E TRANSMISSION. ALTHOUGH THE BULLETINS ARE FOR TECH. INFO ONLY, THIS SERVICE BULLETIN DOCUMENTS A KNOWN PRE-EXISTING DEFECT THAT CAN "LEAD" TO PREMATURE TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO THE VCM COMMUNICATING INTERMITTENT, ERRATIC, UNSTABLE LINE PRESSURE. THE BULLETIN ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM & POTENTIAL "FAILURE OR DAMAGE" VERSUS BEING INFORMATIVE & TOOLS NEEDED FOR THE JOB. BECAUSE CONSUMERS ARE NOT NOTIFIED OF BULLETINS, THEY END-UP PAYING FOR THESE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET, NEVER KNOWING THEY STEM FROM FACTORY DEFECTS & COULD BE REPAIRED FOR LITTLE OR NOTHING. NOTIFICATION PRECLUDES ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS & EXPENSE THAT COULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY OR HIDDEN WARRANTY (SO CALLED GOOD WILL PROGRAM).*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS PUMP CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AS I HAVE OTHER FRIENDS WITH THE SAME VEHICHLE THAT HAVE HAD TO PAY UPWARDS OF $800 TO REPAIR THIS SYSTEM. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS FAILURE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE LOCATION OF THE ABS UNIT?? IN ADDITION, THE PARKING BRAKE ALSO DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. EVEN WHEN IT IS DRPESSED FULLY TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICHLE WILL STILL MOVE IF THE VEHICLE ACCIDENTLY SHIFTS INTO GEAR. I HAVE DISABLED THE ABS, AT THIS POINT.*AK
