- Service brakes
FAILURE TO BRAKE AT LOW SPEEDS. BRAKE PEDAL HARD AND INCREASED STOP DISTANCE IN LOW SPEED, OFTEN TIGHT SPOTS.
- Steering
WHENEVER YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, THERE IS A NOISE THAT COME FROM IT AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A CLUNKING NOISE AS SOMETIMES WILL NOT LET YOU TURN PAST THAT POINT. IT WILL DO IT WHEN IT IS STATIONARY OR DRIVING. IT ALSO SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE STEERING RACK. *TR
- Engine
RADIATOR CORROSION AND LEAKING. OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR HAD SAME CORROSION BUT THIS ONE WAS NOT COVERED . PRODUCED IN SAME PLANT AND TIE AND LOCATION. VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED PRIOR TO THIS AND NO NOTIFICATION OF LEAKING REPORTED BY THE DEALER UNTIL WE BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION.
- Service brakes
AT LOW SPEEDS (PARKING MANEUVERING) BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD AND BRAKING POWER IS LOST INTERMITTENTLY.
- Unknown or otherFire
THE TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK
- Steering
VEHICLE MOVING ON HARD SURFACE. STEERING TURNED TO LIMIT AND ABRUPTLY, WHEEL IS "WHIPPED" BACK AWAY FROM LIMIT. THE ACTION IS SO SEVERE, IT WHIPPED OUT OF MY HANDS AND I TRACKED TO THE OPPOSING LANE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I WAS LINING UP IN A PARKING SLOT. GM SERVICE BULLETIN: #PIT5405A RECOMMENDS FIXES. GM NEEDS TO BE PROACTIVE ON THIS OR SOMEONE COULD BECOME INJURED OR WORSE.
