The contact owns a 1999 GMC Sierra 2500. The contact stated that every time he approaches a stop at approximately 10 mph, the abs engages and the vehicle jerks forward. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that it was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 05v379000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock). The dealer stated that the hub bearing needed to be replaced at the cost of $1,700. The current mileage was 120,000 and failure mileage was 96,000. Updated 12/12/07.
I was making a right turn out of a parking lot and heard a load clunk. When I got home I was looking for the cause of the banging and found that the rear leaf spring shackle had rusted so bad it broke in half.
This vehicle has been in the repair shop at the dealer listed 7 different times for a continual problem with the truck pulling to the left side. It has been aligned numerous times, tires changed, steering box controller replaced, sensors replaced, etc. We still have this safety problem with this truck. We now have contacted GMC about all these problems. Since the truck is a company vehicle we can not get a replacement or refund under the lemon law. Except the applied warranty law? we would like to see the problem with it pulling left and now banging every so often when put in gear. We were informed GMC put in a new system in all there pickup trucks steering assy. S that are supposed to allow the truck to drive as smooth as a car. We feel this is the main component that keeps acting up causing these problems. If we cant get this truck repaired right once and for all we are going to take legal action to either have this truck replaced with a even trade or full refund and damages with possible. Thank you for any assistance you can give.
