1999 GMC Suburban suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Although this cannot be considered a failure, it should be considered a safety issue based on the fact the vehicle had a severe pull to the left and could cause an accident.
While driving at highway speeds vehicle will for a second, pull to the right or left. Cause unknown. Please give any further details.
Whenever making any turns, right or left vehicle's rear end would sway, dangerously. Vehicle was not stable.
Vehicle is going to the left and to the right about a foot to the side of the road.
I lost track of brake failures. The tires wear excessively and need balancing and rotation. There is a vibration from the gas pedal, but nothing is found. The better business bureau resulted in an unsatisfactory offer - I have to pay to clear the title to have the car taken back. No other '99 is like ours to replace it.
Car continually pulls to the left. I've had it aligned 3 times by the dealership and they claim the car shows wheels are aligned. The last time they aligned the car, they took the front wheel assembly off to adjust the camber, stating that to adjust toe-in anymore would bring the vehicle out of factory specs. I contacted "the car doctor" a radio show master technician (ron armenian) from wor radio in n.y. And he said that my problem was most likley due to a steering box malfunction since I have speed sensitve electronic steering. He said the car probably is aligned but the computer is making incorrect readings and thus causing the car to pull. He said to contact you because he has heard of this problem before and felt there is an actual defect and that gmc could even recall the car.
Fuel pump has been replaced two times due to loud noises. Also, transmission was replaced because it did not shift gears automatically, rough switch. Abs brakes did not operate properly, causing extended stopping distance. In addition, two tires replaced in the rear due to vibration of vehicle. Dealer contacted, and are attempting to remedy the problems that exist. Provide further information.
Abs brake failure. Also, front disc brakes and rear brake drums failed.also, vehicle pulls to left and then right.
