SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS
HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR BRAKE SERVICE ON FRONT DISC BRAKES DUE TO WEAR ON DISC. WORK AFTER 15000 MILES HAD TO BE PERFORMED AGAIN DUE TO DISK WEARING OUT. CONSUMER BELIEVED THAT BRAKES WERE NOT HEAVY ENOUGH FOR VEHICLE. *AK DISC WARPED CAUSING VIBRATIONS AND BRAKE FAILURE. THE DISC WAS TURNED A T 15K MILES AND WAS REPLACED AT 28K. TRANSMISSION DOES NOT HOLD ON HILLS. FRONT END WAS LEAKING DUE TO FRONT PINION SEAL FAILURE .. *YH

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE TRUCK WAS PARKED AND RUNNING. IT SUDDENLY BEGAN TO IDLE AS IF SOMEONE WAS PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND IT READ "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". IT SEEMED TO DRIVE OK. I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND MADE APT FOR TUESDAY. (IT WAS THURSDAY) THE NEXT DAY I DROVE IT TO LOCAL GARAGE TO READ ENGINE CODE. IT WAS P2135. THE TRUCK THEN STOPPED ACCELERATING. IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 25MPH. IT TOOK ABOUT 2 FULL MIN TO GET IT AT THAT SPEED. WHEN I WOULD BREAK, THE TRUCK WOULD JUMP AS IF DID NOT WANT TO STOP. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR COVER. I WAS INFORMED THAT GMC IS AWARE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HAS SINCE CORRECTED IT. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO RECALL AS THERE IS NO ALLEGED SAFETY ISSUES. I BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU HAVE A 1,2, AND 3 YEAR OLD IN THE TRUCK IN RUSH HOUR, IT IS DARK OUTSIDE, AND YOU ARE AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR TRUCK WON'T ACCELERATE! I HAVE CONTACTED GMC WHO REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL AS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR
