This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Front brake pads have excessive and uneven wear. Driver side wearing much faster than passenger side. Have rebuilt front brake system with no improvement.
Problems with windshield wipers, engine oil pan failure, faulty power windows and locks. Broken plastic parts on the seat belts, frozen emergency brake and glazed brake pads. Poor dealer servicing. ABS breaks went skidish 3 times and still no fix. Lost control.
The front brake pads were replaced after being replaced approximately 20,000 miles ago. My wife drives this vehicle and is a very gentle driver. I have seen numerous complaints and problems relating to unsatisfactory front brake pad wear on this year/model with ABS brakes. Also, I read that in July of 1999, GMC had initiated a recall for this vehicle/brake combination, but have heard nothing. Getting 20,000 miles on a set of front pads (95% gone when replaced) while the rear shoes (replaced at the same time) show little wear is absurd in my opinion. It just seems that "something ain't right."
When applying the ABS brakes vehicle severely pulls to the right or left. Also when applying the brakes on wet pavement the left front wheel locks up. In addition, every 11,000 miles the front brakes pads prematurely wear out. Cause unknown.
Brake hissing noise heard when pedal applied. Pedal low. Fluid leaking small amount. Chevy service misdiagnosed problem. Replaced master cylinder and installed new shoes. Brakes still hissed. A different service center correctly identified problem as brake booster and replaced at cost of $300. Total amount spent was over $1,000.
