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.
#1, I spent $1,164.73 to have my anti-lock brakes repaired at a dealer. I found a safety recall of 1.4 million reports of brake failure, with kelsy-have parts ("kcb4"and "ebc4"units).why if I had to spend over $ $1,100 to have my truck repaired was I not notified"???? #2 my emergency flashers button is jammed and the dealer wants $485 to repair. I had the windshield wiper repaired. Why is my emergency equipment failing? and there is no recall notice!!!! #3 my emergency brake cable and handle-both broke. How much is a dealer going to rip me off to repair. #4 I had to repair the cold solder joints on my hot/cold switch so my A/C would run cold. Once again the dealer wanted to replace the whole unit-"rip me off!!" #5 why after almost 100 years cant a car maker build their cars better rather than causing the consumer to keep the parts/service industry booming. If my old man wasn't shot by a ?!@#$% fighter plane I would buy from the "!@#$%, but I have no choice but to buy american (because I am one)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #6 one last thing when I had my fuel injectors "cleaned" the F/N dealer just pumped almost 60 lbs of air in my tires.(some cleaning)"????"
ABS light went on permantly and ABS didnot work had to have motor replaced because of motor and valve failure Feb 2000, same problem happened in July 2000 with the same results and the motor had to be replaced again, now has happen a third time with the same problem and same solution March 2001, there is no reason this unit should have to be replaced three times in 13 months.
ABS brake system fails in slippery conditions. Brake pedal goes almost to floor and truck feels like it wont stop. Have almost had accidents a few times when there should have been plenty of time to stop. When this happens there is a growling nois from under the car. Front brakes wear out rear brakes hardly worn after 85000 miles as though they are not being used. Wiper moter stopes intermittantly in rain. High speed does not work. When not working cannot drive car in rain. Have had stop while driving which is dangerous. Found that you have listed a recall. However the GMC web site did not offer this information. As second owner of record I should have been notified. My daughter was first owner and to my knowledge she was never notified of any recalls.
Deterioration of the inner linning of the front brake lines caused the brakes to lockup after applying. The left front brake was the only problem and when it would lockup it caused the vehicle to pull severly to the left. The first time the brake locked up it caused the vehicle to swerve into the on coming traffic.
ABS system is working intermittently when driving at any speed. Computer chip is not applying enough pressure to rear brakes, no wear on rear brake shoes. Brake failure resulted in accident.
On-going / intermittent problem with braking system; whenever brakes are applied right side wheel would lock up, and within seconds the left side wheel would also lock up. Dealer/ manufacturer were not notified at this time. Can NHTSA help in this matter.
ABS senor light came on and is still on. Dealer was informed. Replacements were done at a cost of $1,000. Consumer believed this was a manufacturer's defect which should be manufacturer's responsibility. Seeking additional information and help from NHTSA in this matter.
At a stop brake pedal goes to the floor, indicating that there is a problem with the braking system. Dealer replaced brake master cylinder. Problem is still occurring.
While driving at any speed the ABS light would comes on & stay. Had taken vehicle to dealer. Was informed that the modulator valve was defective & needed to be replaced.
