Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Fuel guage does not work when tank is filled ABS brake system does not operate(pulled fuse).
1999 gmc pickup had a crack in the rear frame. *ts the frame was broken just behind the rear axle. The consumer contacted the manufacturer who told him to take the vehicle back to the dealer for a factory rep to inspect it. The rep inspected that vehicle and indicated that the manufacturer wouldn't provide any assistance because the frame is not available anymore.
Abs pump keeps running had to remove fuse to keep battery from running down I have a 1999 gmc picjup truck. Repair of this pump is $1000.00 most people are pulling the fuse and running without ABS brakes. But the brake light is on all the time so you don't know when your brakes give out. From the resourch I have done this seems to be a very common problem. I believe there should be a recall to fix the faulty pumps. Thank you
Faulty fuel gauge. Needle in dash jumps back & forth between empty & full. Never know how much gas I really have.
