1 Gasoline Engine problem of the 1999 GMC Suburban

Failure Date: 04/17/2002

Have owned '90gmc c1500 p/u & '99 GMC c1500 Suburban in past 12 years; both vehicles have had same problems w/ front brake pull/wear; suspension; brake pipes; engine/trans. Hesitation, hang. . . . ; corroded + battery cables, batteries; leaking hvac ducts; and on & on. How in the world does 12+/- years of documented brake problems across vehicle lines/models not warrant a massive recall and/or compensation to owners for obviously faulty engineering, materials, etc. . . . . ????!!!! I suppose the Ford/firestone problems took precedence? can you say "class action"??.

Took to dealer, 1st time said it was "mass air flow controller" 2 weeks later the same problem happened, this time dealer could not find what is wrong guessing is fuel injection pump.
