SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2004 GMC 1500 4X4 85,000 MI., BRAKES FEEL SOFT AND HAVE EXCESSIVE TRAVEL DURING EMERGENCY STOPPING OR WHEN TOWING. HAVE REPLACED FRONT PADS WITH MORE AGGRESSIVE PADS AND NO HELP, HAVE TRIED BLEEDING SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL. PERSONALLY THINK THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE LINES FROM THE MASTER CYL. TO ABS BOX AS THESE ARE FLEX STYLE LINES NOT HARD LINES, I HAVE BEEN IN THE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR BUSINESS FOR 40 YEARS AND HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS THAT I COULD NOT LOCATE A PROBLEM, ALL COMPONENTS APPEAR TO BE WORKING PROPERLY, IE: BOOSTER, MASTER CYL, ABS CONTROLLER, AND CALIPERS. I PERSONALLY KNOW OF SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES FROM THESE YEARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS AND GM HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEMS. *TR

VISIBILITY
OBSTRUCTED VIEW OUT OF WINDSHIELD ON PASSENGER SIDE. THE WIPER ONLY COVERS 2/3RDS OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDSHIELD. IN SNOW AND ICE STORM CONDITIONS THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER IS NOT FUNCTIONAL AND BECAUSE A VISIBILITY SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFROST AND IS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THE WIPER BLADE NOT CLEARING THE WINDSHIELD. REPORTED TO DEALER WHO REPLACE WIPER BLADES BUT THIS DOES NOT CORRECT THE DEFROSTER ISSUE OR THE WIPER SAFETY VISIBILITY PROBLEM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DURING A STORM RAIN OR SNOW ETC. *TR
