SEATS
I HAVE A 1999 GMC SIERRA EXTENDED CAD TRUCK THE DRIVERS SEAT ADJUSTMENT MADE OF PLASTIC WHEN IT BREAKS THE SEAT WILL NOT LOCK. THE SEAT BELT IS ATTACHED TO THE SEAT SO IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT ALL THAT IS HOLDING IS FLIMSY PLASTIC. I CHECKED ALL THE SALVAGE YARDS IN MY AREA THEY SAID EVERY TRUCK THAT THEY HAVE THAT HAS WRECKED THE PLASTIC SLIDE IS BROKEN. TO ME, MY WIFE AND MY LIFE ARE WORTH MORE THAN THIS PLASTIC PIECE. GM NEEDS TO RECALL AND EITHER FIX THIS PIECE WITH METAL OR DIFFERENT SEAT TRACKS. MY SEAT BROKE JUST ADJUSTING IT. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
I STARTED UP MY 1999 GMC SIERRA ONE MORNING LAST SPRING TO GO TO WORK AND WHEN PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY A LOUD NOISE STARTED COMING FROM UNDER THE CAB AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE WHO FOUND IT TO BE THE EBCM. THE TRUCK HAD LESS THAN 45000 MILES ON IT AND HAD NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD SO IT HADN'T BEEN MISTREATED. THE MODULE HAS STAYED ON AND THE ABS LIGHT IS ON ALWAYS. I TRIED TO GET GM TO OWN UP TO THE FAULTY PART BUT THEY REFUSED. I THINK IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT GM PUTS LOW QUALITY ELECTRONIC PARTS IN THEIR VEHICLES, AND CHARGES SO MUCH FOR THE PARTS. THE EBCM COSTS OVER 900 DOLLARS WHICH IS A LOT OF MONEY. WHEN YOU PAY OVER 30,000 FOR A TRUCK YOU EXPECT IT TO LAST A LONG TIME. BUT GM IS NOT INTERESTED IN MAKING QUALITY ANYMORE. GM TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A VERY UNCOMMON PROBLEM, WRONG, ON THE WEB I FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IN FACT THERE IS A REBUILD KIT FOR THEM. I ALSO HAD MY 4WD CONTROL MODULE GO OUT AT 140 DOLLARS JUST TO REPLACE A PUSH BUTTON. *JB
