SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK
ABS BRAKES ARE SUBJECT TO INTERMITTENT FAILURE, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. ON OTHER OCCASIONS, BRAKES MAKE GRINDING SOUND WHILE MAKING A TURN AND APPLYING THE BRAKES. DEALER HAS CHANGED THE PADS 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS, AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK

STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
VEHICLE WOULD SHIMMY AND FRONT END WOULD SHAKE VISIBLY. DEALER REPLACED FRONT BALL JOINTS/ IDLER ARM AND TIE ROD ENDS AT34000 MILES. AT THIS TIME, SAME 3 COMPONENTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED PLUS FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS. THE VEHICLE HAD SAME PROBLEM AS IN AUG 2000. ALSO, TIRES WERE WEARING OUT ON THE OUTSIDE. 3 DIFFERENT GMC DEALERS TOLD CONSUMER THAT GMC WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.*AK
