About These NHTSA Complaints:
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.

Left rear intake manifold leak. On a 1999 vehicle with only 48,520 miles (light useage for mom and kids) this problem seems a bit premature. My brother who owns a 1998 GMC with about 60,000 miles had simular problem. The part must be defective as both problems are very simular in nature. Cost to fix $700 to $1,000. Thank you
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"?"

While driving daughter to school, pulled into the parking lot and vehicle stalled, and would not start again. Had vehicle towed to the dealer, and they broke the fuel sending unit. Which they replaced. But, still having problem with vehicle stalling. Engine check light came on and stayed on. They pressurized the tank. Now the gas gauge does read properly.
While driving at any speed vehicle shuts off without warning. Leaving the driver with no brakes and power steering. Driver had to stand on the brakes before the truck came to a complete stop. Dealer is not able to duplicate the problem.
Rotors were turned repeatedly. We saved the old ones incase they were metallurgically defective. The oil leaked occurred when towing was planned. GMC has offered to repurchase the vehicle. The A/C turnes on and off, but I forgot when the leak was fixed.
