Have owned '90gmc C1500 P/U & '99 GMC C1500 Suburban in past 12 years; both vehicles have had same problems w/ front brake pull/wear; suspension; brake pipes; engine/trans. Hesitation, hang....; corroded + battery cables, batteries; leaking HVAC ducts; and on & on. How in the world does 12+/- years of documented brake problems across vehicle lines/models not warrant a massive recall and/or compensation to owners for obviously faulty engineering, materials, etc....."???!!!! I suppose the Ford/Firestone problems took precedence? can you say "class action"?"

Brakes would squeak and make a grinding noise. Front end would shake. Brake pad had worn to metal on one side. Pads and rotors were replaced numerous times. Contacted dealer. Consumer states that the brake pads are being replaced about every 18000 miles.

I've had this vehicle in for brake repairs at least 6 times since I bought it. It now has 26,500 miles. The brakes have been replaced 4 times, master cylinder replaced, proportioning valve replaced, and right side caliper replaced. I have also had the following replaced: Motor pulley, A/C compressor, tie rod, idler arm, pitman arm, coil in steering column, main belt, front differential gasket. Every time I take it in to the dealer, it seems that I am a pest........I will never own another GMC product, and I am seeking legal advice for a possible manufacturer buyback.

We have reported excessive brake wear and pulling to the manufacturer. When brakes are applied, vehicle pulls sharply to left lane. Dealer has replaced pads and rotors and calipers six times in 10,000 miles. Other owners are experiencing same problems. Manufacturer rep says to just pull harder on steering wheel. We have also contacted better business bureau for buyback. GM service managers tell us this is manufacturing problem and cannot be corrected.
