I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. THERE HAVE BEEN A SUCCESSION OF COOLING SYSTEM PROBLEMS CULMINATING IN THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE. THERE WAS A COOLANT LEAK IN THE MANIFOLD GASKET, HOWEVER THE MECHANIC NEGLECTED TO PUT OIL BACK IN THE CRANKCASE AND SIEZED THE ENGINE DURING THE ROAD TEST. THERE HAVE BEEN THREE RADIATORS INSTALLED (J3100'S) THE MOST RECENT JULY 98. I CAN'T COUNT THE NUMBER OF TIMES IT WAS BACK FOR LEAKING HOSES/CLAMPS. SEPT. 7, 99 THE BLOCK HEATER CORE PLUG BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE, THEY RE-USED A $25 PART WHICH COST ME $230 TO REPAIR. THE RADIATOR IS NOW LEAKING AGAIN. THAT IS ONE EVERY TWO YEARS. DEALER AND GMC SAID IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY (6 YEAR EXTENDED OPTION) AND WILL NOT CONSIDER ANY COMPENSATION. *AK
WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, THIS COULD RESULT IN INOPERATIVE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WHICH WOULD REDUCE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS: FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK
ABS ACTIVATES FROM TIME TO TIME UNDER CONDITIONS THAT DO NOT JUSTIFY ACTIVATION.
DRIVER'S SEATBACK BROKE WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED INJURIES TO THE DRIVER. DEALER REPLACED THE SEATBACK. *AK
DRIVER SEATBELT WAS REPLACED AT OWNER COST IN 1997 BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT RETRACT. FRONT PASSENGER SEATBELT WAS REPLACED AT OWNER COST IN 1995 AND 1999 BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT EXTEND. SEATBELT SYSTEMS APPEAR TO BE POORLY DESIGNED AND MAY FAIL IN AN ACCIDENT OR PRECLUDE THEIR USE BY VEHICLE OCCUPANTS
NO SUMMARY
FRONT BRAKES LOCK UP TOO EASILY CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY ON WET ROADS. HAPPENS ON DRY ROADS AS WELL IF A LITTLE SAND IS ON ROAD. ABS BRAKES SHOULDN'T LOCK UP AT ALL.
ABS BRAKES; WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES FAIL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. BRAKE FAILURE HAS CAUSED ONE ACCIDENT. PLEASE DESCRIBE FURTHER DETAILS. *AK
THE ABS WILL ACITIVATE WITHOUT CAUSE. WHEN THE OCCURS, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR.
