What owners report
IN 1996 I PURCHASED NEW A GMC 3500 CREW CAB PICKUP TRUCK. I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THAT WHEN APPLYING BRAKES HARD ALL POWER STEERING WAS LOST PARTICULARLY IN LEFT TURNS AND AT LOW SPEEDS. BRAKING WAS NOT HARD ENOUGH TO ACTIVATE THE ANTISKID. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND WE TRIED THE SAME MANEUVER ON THREE OTHER SIMILAIR TRUCKS IN HIS LOT. ALL DID THE SAME THING. AFTER MANY CALLS IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING "I HAD TO LIVE WITH".
VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. CONDITION FORCED DRIVER TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED WHEN VEHICLE STALLED. DEALER REPLACED AT 28000 MILES THE FUEL PUMP AND COMPUTER, BUT SAME PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK
FUEL PUMP HAS GONE OUT AND VEHICLE HAS BECOME INOPREABLE. CONTACTED DEALER AND THE DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE PUMP WAS REPLACED 14 TIMES BUT NO CHANGE. ALSO, THE TRUCK HAS NO POWER FOR STEERING OR BRAKING WHEN IT STALLS. *YH
