I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE REAR BRAKES WOULD STICK THE WHEN DEPRESSED AND RELEASED DOING NORMAL STOP AND GO IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT INTERSECTIONS WITH STOP SIGNS. THE DEAL SERVICE ADVISOR INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON MY REAR BRAKES. THE DID THE REPAIRS AS STATED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN AND THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES. I TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT IN ORDER FOR THE PROPER REPAIRS DONE THAT BOTH SIDES IF MY REAR AXLE BRAKES SHOULD HAVE NEW PARTS INSTALLED, NOT JUST ONE SIDE. ON THE DAY OF JUNE 20TH 2011 WITH ONLY 25277 MILES ON MY 2007 GMC CANYON THE BRAKES STARTED TO STICK AND SQUEAL AGAIN JUST LIKE WHEN I HAD THE FIRST WORK DONE AS STATED IN THE FIRST SERVICE BULLETIN. NOW THE SERVICE ADVISOR INFORMS THAT I MUST PAY THE LABOR CHARGES FOR THESE NEW REPAIRS TO INSTALL PARTS AND THE REAR AXLE BRAKES EVEN AFTER THE FACT I INFORMED THEM THAT I PURCHASED THE "EXTENTED WARRANTY COVERAGE" BECAUSE AT THE TIME I PURCHASED THIS WARRANTY I WAS TOLD THAT IF ANY MECHANICAL FAILED I WOULD BE COVERED AND I COULD DRIVE MY NEW TRUCK "WORRY FREE" OF ANY PROBLEM AFTER THE ORIGINAL 3 YEAR OR 30,000 MILES, WHICH EVER COMES FIRST, RAN OUT.

I HAVE A 2007 GMC CANYON PICKUP AND RECENTLY THE REAR BRAKES HAVE EXCESSIVE GRAB, AGGRESSIVE DRAG, AND THE REAR DRUMS LOCK UP CAUTIONING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS SET FOR A WHILE, DURING THE FIRST FEW STOPS OR BEFORE YOU GET HEAT BUILT UP IN THE BRAKES, IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE GRABBING EXCESSIVELY. I…

I HAVE A 2007 GMC CANYON PICKUP AND RECENTLY THE REAR BRAKES HAVE EXCESSIVE GRAB, AGGRESSIVE DRAG, AND THE REAR DRUMS LOCK UP CAUTIONING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS SET FOR A WHILE, DURING THE FIRST FEW STOPS OR BEFORE YOU GET HEAT BUILT UP IN THE BRAKES, IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE GRABBING EXCESSIVELY. IN ADDITION, THE TIRES CHIRP AND/OR LEAVE SKIP MARKS DURING BRAKING. THE CONDITION IS VERY UNSETTLING TO THE DRIVER AND I BELIEVE THE EXCESSIVE BRAKE GRAB COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE SEARCHED TECHNICAL BULLETINS AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING GM SERVICE BULLETIN (07-05-24-001B). I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM AND THEY HAVE INDICATED IT IS NOT UNDER A SAFETY RECALL AND THE REPAIR IS GOING TO COST $240. I BELIEVE THIS CONDITION WARRANTS A RECALL AND THE COST BE ABSORBED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DUE TO ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME, I BELIEVE I AM AMONG MOST CONSUMERS WHO CANNOT AFFORD A MAJOR REPAIR SUCH AS THIS AT THIS TIME. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE INITIAL CONDITION WITH THE REAR BRAKES WILL INCREASE THE BRAKE WEAR ON THE FRONT BRAKES. *TR

GM IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2011, CHEVROLET COLORADO, GMC CANYON, MODEL YEAR 2006, ISUZU I-280/I-350, AND MODEL YEAR 2007-2008, I-290/I-370, REGULAR CAB VEHICLES AND EXTENDED CAB VEHICLES WITHOUT A REAR SEAT AND EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT 60/40 SPLIT BENCH SEAT. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 225, "CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE SYSTEMS." THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR FOR THE FRONT CENTER SEAT IS NOT ACCESSIBLE AND THE OWNER MANUAL DOES NOT INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING HOW TO USE THE TOP TETHER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: BOTH NHTSA AND GM DISCOURAGE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A FRONT SEAT. NEVERTHELESS, THERE ARE INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY REQUIRE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A RESTRAINT IN THE FRONT CENTER SEATING POSITION OF THIS VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT OFFER A REAR SEAT. LACK OF ACCESS TO THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR AND A LACK OF INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW TO USE IT, MAY RESULT IN IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF A CHILD RESTRAINT. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF A CHILD RESTRAINT CAN RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN THE RESTRAINT'S PERFORMANCE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AND AN INCREASED RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD SEATED IN THE RESTRAINT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL CUT A HOLE INTO THE BACK PANEL TRIM COVER TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR FOR THE FRONT CENTER SEAT POSITION AND WILL PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION AS TO USE IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727 OR VISIT GM'S WEBSITE AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
GM IS RECALLING 185,903 MODEL YEAR 2004-2009 COLORADO, GMC MODEL YEAR 2009-2004 CANYON, MODEL YEAR 2006 I-280, I-350, MODEL YEAR 2007-2008 I-290, AND I-370, PASSENGER VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF ALABAMA, ARIZONA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, HAWAII, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, NEVADA, NEW MEXICO, PUERTO RICO, SOUTH CAROLINA, TEXAS, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND UTAH. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A BRAKE LAMP SWITCH THAT MAY NOT WORK AS DESIGNED DUE TO CONTAMINATION IN THE SWITCH.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE SIMULTANEOUS LOSS OF ALL BRAKE LAMPS OR CAUSE ALL OF THE BRAKE LAMPS TO STAY ON CONTINUOUSLY. BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS COULD FAIL TO WARN OTHERS OF THE DRIVER'S INTENTIONS AND COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS AS SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL BULLETIN FREE OF CHARGE. GM ANTICIPATES THAT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE BY JUNE 2010. A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR VEHICLES REGISTERED IN ALL OTHER STATES WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE SAME TIME FRAME. IN THE INTERIM, OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE CAN OBTAIN A FREE REPAIR, HOWEVER THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO RETURN WHEN THE NEW DESIGN PART BECOMES AVAILABLE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727 OR AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES AND TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN INCOMPLETE TIRE RIM DESIGNATION ON THE CERTIFICATION/TIRE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR EDGE. IN ADDITION, THE LABEL MAY ALSO BE MISSING THE TIRE LOAD RATING ON THE LABEL. ALTHOUGH THIS INFORMATION IS NOT REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD, IF A TIRE OF A LESSER LOAD RATING IS INSTALLED, THE TIRE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THE LOADS ENCOUNTERED DURING USE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF A CUSTOMER REPLACES A WHEEL AND ONLY RELIES ON THE RIM SIZE DESIGNATION THAT IS INDICATED ON THE LABEL, A WHEEL THAT IS OF A DIFFERENT RIM CONTOUR DESIGNATION MAY BE INSTALLED. IT MAY BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO MOUNT THE TIRE ON A WHEEL WITH THE WRONG CONTOUR. IF THE TIRE IS MOUNTED ON THE WHEEL WITH THE WRONG CONTOUR, THE WHEEL AND TIRE MAY NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: A LABEL THAT WILL CORRECT THE LABEL ORIGINALLY INSTALLED WILL BE MAILED TO CONSUMERS ALONG WITH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. THE CUSTOMER WILL HAVE THE OPTION FOR DEALERS TO INSTALL THE LABEL. THE RECALL BEGAON ON NOVEMBER 7, 2006. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2239, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, AND GMC TRUCKS AT 1-866-996-9463.
