What owners say
The ABS system has always been a problem. One morning backing out of the garage after it had rained the night before, I gently braked and the car made a grinding noise and jerked abrubtly scaring all of us. It skidded ! Up and down the driveway I did this and it jerked and skidded! We decided it was not safe. The store checked tires and brakes. This has happened again and again! The electrical problem has been ongoing. The dealer cannot figure it out, we're ok for a while - 6 mos. With a new battery and then were stranded somewhere cause its died. We just had the radio replaced because they said it had a short,well it was out of the car and it died again. They replaced the alternator it died yesterday! Please help!
The electric connector for the low pressure/ loss of fluid was not connected at the factory to the ABS valve. The original battery leaked at the + post. The oem replacement battery did the same. After that I switched to an after market gel battery,optima brand and never had a problem with it. The factory installed trailer hitch platform started to faill when I was towing a 9000lbs trailer,showing a 3 to 4 inch crack in the right side bolted to the frame. All those failled parts were replaced at no charge by the dealer under either gmc warrenty or "good will" policy.

The vehicle has a "heavy" pull to one side, and only when you "slam" on the brakes and the ABS kicks-in. After bringing in to the dealer, I have had the front brake lines replaced. After additional complaints for the same problem they changed the calipers, rotors and brake lines. I still have the same complaint and problem after spending close to three thousand dollars.
