What owners say
I bought the vehicle used, shortly after the transmission started slipping. Got recall information, and took it into 5 star dealership. They verified that the low and reverse clutch were worn. But refused to replace or remedy the situation. They did however honor recall 99041 and installed wiring harness for ebcm for ABS brakes. How is one recall too old to honor, yet another is not? The transmission recall was issued in 1994, my jimmy had been in the shop previously in 1999. I would think that the recall should have been done then.
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
Since I have owned my truck may,2000.I have had to replace both front hub assemblies. My ABS system has went out and my sending unit went out also. The ABS system is very dangous on this vehicle and the left side front hub assembly went out, and my tire would have fell off if my boss hadn't checked it for me.
The electronics in the ABS system failed after 3.5 years. Faulty electronics.
