What owners report
HAVING LOW SPEED (UNDER 8MPH) ABS ACTIVATION REGARDLESS OF WEATHER/ROAD CONDITIONS. BASICALLY THE SAME ISSUE AS NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 05V379000 BUT APPARENTLY MY VIN IS NOT COVERED, I LIVE IN ILLINOIS. *TR
BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. TRAVELING 35 MPH, I HAD TO BRAKE SUDDENLY AND THE PEDAL SUNK TO THE FLOOR. HAD MINOR RESISTANCE, THEN JUST COMPLETELY GAVE WAY. NO BRAKES! WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN INCIDENT BY VEERING INTO THE ONCOMING LANE THAT WAS LUCKILY VACANT. TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET TO SAFELY ROLL TO A STOP. TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT THE REMAINING 1.5 MILES HOME, I HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP. ADVISED THAT ALL BRAKE LINES NEED TO BE REPLACED, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC THAT HE HAS SEEN A DOZEN TIMES. THE BRAKE LINES CORRODE, AND EVENTUALLY BURST. ABSURD! TO THINK THIS COULD OF HAPPENED ON A FAMILY ROAD TRIP AT 65MPH... I WILL BUYING A VEHICLE OUTSIDE OF GMC AND THEIR UMBRELLA OF POORLY MA
THE BRAKE LINES HAVE RUSTED AND AT LEAST 1 HAS RUPTURED LEAVING VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY BRAKES. BRAKE PETAL GOES DIRECTLY TO THE FLOOR AND NO BRAKE FLUID WAS FOUND IN THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR. I HAVE READ THAT MANY OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.
TIRES WERE PURCHASED SEPT. 25, 2009 AND NOW HAVE EXTENSIVE WEATHER CRACKING. COSTCO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TIRES WHEN I REPORTED THE QUALITY DEFECT IN AUGUST, 2014, JUST 59 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. I HAVE APPEALED THAT DECISION AND EXPECT TO FIND OUT TOMORROW IF THEY WILL MAKE GOOD ON THE DEFECTIVE TIRES. THEY CLAIM THAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS WEATHER CRACKING THAT THE TIRES ARE SAFE. I DOUBT THEY WOULD USE CRACKED TIRES LIKE THAT ON THE VEHICLE CARRYING THEIR OWN FAMILY. *TR
WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MY TRUCK ROLLED INTO THE INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT AFTER I WAS HALFWAY IN THE INTERSECTION. I FOUND OUT THAT THE REAR BRAKE LINE ABOVE THE FUEL TANK ROTTED AWAY. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE BOTH STEEL LINES TO THE REAR WHEELS AND THE TWO STEEL LINE TO THE FRONT REPLACED. *TR
