I would like to know why I have to change the egr valve every six months, and I only receive a one month warranty on it when purchased? We are not sure if our ABS has ever been serviced since the recall. I would like to know how we can get information about it, and if it has not, is it too late to be serviced without us paying for it?

At any time, with no warning, the brake pedal will become hard as a rock, and will not depress, therefore providing no braking to the vehicle. This is the 3rd time this has happened, and each time the truck was taken back to the dealer for repairs. One recall repair was done to the truck ABS system, but the same thing happened last night as I approched a toll booth at 55mph, with no brakes. I reserched your site, and found this seems to be a common problem with this vehicle, and not only this years production, causing accidents, and injuries. How many people are expendable before gm feels it is worth fixing?
Abs brakes went out while driving on wet road conditions, pedal went to floor. Consumer had no brakes, vehicle went out of control, resulting in rollover, one person sustained minor injuries.*ak

My 93 jimmy exhibits behavior as identified in the federal safety agency campaign id # 94v093 and 99v193. For 94v093, the vehicle lunges forward when started and a transmission specialist identified the problem (checked at 70k miles) as a worn low and reverse clutch. For 99v193, my ABS seems to work only when in 4wd. I contacted gmc and was told my vehicle was not included in the campaign. I don't understand why my vehicle has the same problems but the VIN was not included in the campaign?
