THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE 1995 AND 96 GMC SIERRA TRUCKS. I DRIVE A 1998 GMC SO YOU THINK THEY WOULD HAVE FIGURED THIS OUT BY NOW. MY WIPERS WILL WORK OCCASIONALLY BUT NOT WHEN YOU REALLY NEED THEM. I KNOW ITS NOT THE MOTOR BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN CHECKED OUT. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF GMC WOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM. *NM
FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WENT INTO 4 LOW, BY ITSELF, GOING AT 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, WIPERS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED FOR THE THIRD TIME IN ONE YEARS TIME, NO TURN SIGNALS/BACKUP LIGHT- CAN'T BE FIXED BY DEALER-FOUND NOTHING WRONG, CALLED GMC WHICH OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE DUE TO IT BEING A USED VEHICLE. THEY FELT IT WAS RELATED TO PREVIOUS DRIVER. THE BRAKES WILL GRAB AND LOCK UP WHEN YOU FIRST DRIVE IT. YOU BETTER HAVE YOUR SEAT BELT ON BECAUSE YOU WILL BE PUT INTO THE DASH WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I DO NOT FEEL THE PREVIOUS DRIVER IS THE CAUSE IN THIS SITUATION. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE FOR BOTH MY FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS TRUCK TO OTHERS. YOUR HELP WOULD BE GRE
I PURCHASED A USED 1998 GMC EXTEND-CAB 4X4 PICK-UP HERE IN TN.. I HAVE HAD VERY GOOD SERVICE FROM IT UNTIL I MADE A TRIP 2 1/2 HRS. FROM MY HOME. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION I PARKED THE TRUCK, VISITED FOR AWHILE. WHEN I WAS PREPARING TO MAKE THE TRIP BACK I STARTED MY TRUCK AND AS I PUT IT IN REVERSE I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE TO CLANKS COMING FROM THE REAR, THE PERSON I WAS VISITING ALSO HEARD IT FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I COULDN'T GET THE TRUCK TO MOVE, SO WE HAD TO PHYSICALLY MOVE IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE DRIVE. AFTER SOME TIME I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHERE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK TO MOVE ONLY BY GIVING IT JUST A LITTLE GAS AND THEN
WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL "BOWED" OUTWARD. THE DEALER INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED THAT VEHICLE'S FRAME HAD BROKEN AT THE CROSSMEMBER. THE FRAME HAD PREVIOUSLY CRACKED ON 03/15/02, BUT WAS REPAIRED BY WELDING. VEHICLE IS A 1998 GMC 3/4 TON HEAVY PICK-UP TRUCK. *NLM
