GMC CAN NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAS BEEN RETURNED 14 TIMES UNDER WARRANTY AND SERVICE BULLETINS CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE PULLS VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT. AT HIGH SPPEDS( 62-68 MPH) THE VEHICLE HAS A TENDENCY TO JUMP TO THE LEFT OVER THE CENTER LINE INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC.*JB

#707113 | June 2, 1999

I LOST TRACK OF BRAKE FAILURES. THE TIRES WEAR EXCESSIVELY AND NEED BALANCING AND ROTATION. THERE IS A VIBRATION FROM THE GAS PEDAL, BUT NOTHING IS FOUND. THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU RESULTED IN AN UNSATISFACTORY OFFER - I HAVE TO PAY TO CLEAR THE TITLE TO HAVE THE CAR TAKEN BACK. NO OTHER '99 IS LIKE OURS TO REPLACE IT. *AK

#705535 | April 12, 1999

CAR CONTINUALLY PULLS TO THE LEFT. I'VE HAD IT ALIGNED 3 TIMES BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM THE CAR SHOWS WHEELS ARE ALIGNED. THE LAST TIME THEY ALIGNED THE CAR, THEY TOOK THE FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY OFF TO ADJUST THE CAMBER, STATING THAT TO ADJUST TOE-IN ANYMORE WOULD BRING THE VEHICLE OUT OF FACTORY SPECS. I CONTACTED "THE CAR DOCTOR" A RADIO SHOW MASTER TECHNICIAN (RON ARMENIAN) FROM WOR RADIO IN N.Y. AND HE SAID THAT MY PROBLEM WAS MOST LIKLEY DUE TO A STEERING BOX MALFUNCTION SINCE I HAVE SPEED SENSITVE ELECTRONIC STEERING. HE SAID THE CAR PROBABLY IS ALIGNED BUT THE COMPUTER IS MAKING INCORRECT READINGS AND THUS CAUSING THE CAR TO PULL. HE SAID TO CONTACT YOU BECAUSE HE HAS HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND FELT THERE IS AN ACTUAL DEFECT AND THAT GMC COULD EVEN RECALL THE CAR.
