What 1999 GMC Sierra owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Odd noise from vehicle. Stopped and noticed the center of the vehicle was low (box and back of cab were in contact at the top and separated by several inches at the bottom. Looked at frame and saw that right side of frame was rusted and is cracked almost all the way through, allowing frame to sag and presenting the danger of frame separation which would cause an accident.
Structural cross member between frame rails just above rear wheels rusted away leaving rt rear shock unattached.....further investigation this week by body shop will determine amounts of rust to left side and possible danger by unsupported gas tank?
Dt: at slow speeds there is a clanking sound in the brakes, and can be felt in the brake pedal on the consumer's foot. This has been a problem since 2002. The vehicle has been in the repair shop 3 times for the same problem. The first time, the vehicle was involved in an accident in the parking lot. The owner was driving 5 MPH or less and had no brake control, and the pedal was working against the driver. The owner took the vehicle back to the shop 2 more times for the same problem. Gm, the manufacturer came and inspected the truck. Gm would not allow the truck to be fixed by the dealership until they inspected it. The dealerships report stated that they replaced the right front hub bearing after testing and the found bearing caused unwanted ABS operation during slow speeds. There were no injuries in the crash. *ak
Consumer states: anti-lock brake system, when applying it makes weird noise, and has to push brakes to the floor. Had to do 4 times, was under 5 MPH and pedal kicked back, and it grabbed. Just got ABS serviced and new fuse put in. Had to take out fuse for the brakes to work properly. Could hear whinnying noise before taking out the fuse, and light came on at the same time. Dealer hooked up vehicle to diagnostic machine, replaced right front hub and bearing assembly, and still having the same problem.

Consumer states that vehicle goes into the ABS mode, when the ABS are not needed. Cause is unknown. Please provide any further information. Mr
