SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER
BOUGHT IN 2000 BRAKES AND ALL COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY OWNER AT OWNERS EXPENSE. BRAKES HAVE A GROWLING CRUNCHING SOUND ON AND OFF. THE BRAKES WILL BECOME DISFUNCTUAL UNLESS YOU COMPLEATLY RELEASE AND IMMEDIEATLY RE APPLY.THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING MECHANICAL FAILURE. AT 11,000 MILES THIS VEHICLE LITTERALLY "BLEW THE FRONT ROTORS INTO PIECES.GM WOULD NOT HONOR THE REPAIRS THAT I HAVE CONTINIOUSLY KEPT HAVING TO PAY FOR.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
IN JANUARY 2004 MY GAS GUAGE STARTED JUMPING FROM FULL TO EMPTY.WHEN YOU GIVE THE GAS TANK A GENTLE HIT WITH YOUR HAND, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. I HAVE READ THAT MANY OTHER GM OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T GO TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE TECHNICIANS DO POOR WORK. I USE THE TRIP ODOMETER AND FILLED UP THE GAS TANK AT 300 MILES. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. SOMEBODY COULD RUN OUT OF GAS IN A VERY DANGEROUS LOCATION.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I PURCHASED A NEW 2000 CHEVY 3500 4 DOOR DULLY. IT NOW HAS 67,000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS WORN OUT SEVEN SETS OF BRAKES AND AT THIS MOMENT IT NEEDS THE 8TH SET PLUS THE FRONT ROTORS ARE CRACKED FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. EVEN WITH NEW BRAKE PADS THE TRUCK WILL NOT STOP AS IT SHOULD YOU MUST DRIVE IT LIKE YOUR DRIVING IN SNOW. I SELDOM DRIVE IT OVER 55 MILES PER HOUR UNLESS I AM ON THE OPEN ROAD WITH NO CARS IN SIGHT. I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS JUST SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. BUT THAT IS A RESULT ONLY OF MY DEFENSIVE DRIVING HABITS. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK FOR HEAVY HAULING BUT THE TRUCK WON'T STOP ITSELF MUCH LESS A LOADED TRAILER. THE DEALER WAS HAPPY TO PUT NEW BRAKES ON AS LONG AS THE GENERAL WAS PAYING THE BILL BUT NOW THAT THE 3 YEARS 36,000 HAS EXPIRED IT'S JUST ME AND MY CHECK BOOK. *LA

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK. VERY DANGEROUS FOR MULTIPLE DRIVERS OF SAME VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN WITH INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN. PROBLEM BEGAN AS SOON AS I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. PROBLEM OCCURS EACH TIME VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. DEALER WANTS $700 FOR REPAIR. SEVERAL OWNERS OF SAME MODEL TRUCK HAVE DESCRIBED SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. *AK

TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
SPARE TIRE TOOLS NOT CORRECT. I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO MY SPARE TIRE. FEMALE END OF LOWERING TOOL NOT THE CORRECT SIZE TO ENGAGE THE MALE END LOCATED AT THE END OF THE TUBE ASSEMBLY. UPON HAVING A FLAT TIRE I WAS STRANDED IN BETWEEN TOWNS.THIS WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR FOR WOMEN CARRYING INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRUCK SHIFTED INTO 3RD GEAR FOR NO REASON THEN WOULD NOT SHIFT BACK INTO 4TH WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE REARENDED. I PURCHASED A THIS GM CERTIFIED VEHICLE FOUR MONTH AGO THINKING I WAS GETTING A BETTER THAN AVERAGE VEHICLE. I SPOKE TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY SAID THEY THEY GET A LOT OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AND I WOULD LIKE GENERAL MOTORS TO REPAIR IT SINCE THEY HAVEN'T FIXED THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 4L60 E TRANSMISSION IN THE LAST 11 OR SO YEARS THEY'VE USED IT. *AK

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
THE FRAME WAS CRACKING AROUND THE FRONT WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO SAW THE CRACKS BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE CRACKS. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOOK PICTURES AND DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING TO CAUSE THE CRACKS IN THE FRAME. *NM THE CONSUMER USES THE VEHICLE AS A TRASH TRUCK. HE REPLACES THE VEHICLES PARTS FREQUENTLY BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF WEAR THE VEHICLE SUSTAINS. THE CONSUMER FEELS THE FRAME SHOULD NEVER HAVE CRACKED. *NM
