GM HAD REPAIRED THE RUST BRAKE DEFECTS ON MY TYPE OF VEHICLE IN MANY SALT STATES THAT ENDURE COLD WEATHER. BUT BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH OUTRAGE THEY DID NOT REPAIR THIS SAME DEFECT IN MY STATE. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WHEEL BEARINGS WHERE RUST CAUSES THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM TO NEEDLESS ENGAGE WHEN IT SHOULD NOT DURING SLOW SPEEDS SOMETIMES MAKING BRAKING DANGEROUS IN SLOW TURNING AND PARKING SITUATIONS.

PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND BRAKES COMPLETELY WENT OUT. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY GOING AROUND 5 MPH. WAS ABLE TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW TRUCK DOWN NEXT TO THE CURB. *TR
I HAVE NOT GIVEN PERMISSION TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO START REPAIRS. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE REAR AXLE OR REAR END THAT WAS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR AND MUST BE REPLACED. I WAS QUOTED A REPAIR COST OF $2,400 FOR A USED PART AND $3,000 FOR A NEW PART. THIS TRUCK HAS AROUND 42,000 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED JUNE 1, 2003. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS RANGING FROM REPLACEMENT OF CD'S TO A DOOR WINDOW MOTOR PROBLEM. I INQUIRED/COMPLAINED ABOUT A NOISE IN THE REAR END AT AROUND 25,000 MILES PRIOR TO THE BREAKDOWN. HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THE TAILGATE WOULD FALL OPEN WHEN LOCKED OCCASIONALLY, BUT THIS WAS ADJUSTED AFTER TAKING IT BACK FOR REPAIR. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED ONE HUB ASSEMBLY ON THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK AT A COST OF $250.00. THERE IS AN OIL USAGE PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES AN ADDITIONAL QUART...
