| My 1998 chevy w/t 4x4 has a dangerous and unsatisfactory braking problem. brakes are very weak and spongy. they are undependable and unsafe. there is complaints about this problem dating back to 2009. i have replaced pads,shoes,rotors, drums,wheel cylinders, all brake springs and hardware,brake lines and hoses,master cylinder and brake booster, and wheel speed sensors. clearly there is a problem in the anti lock computer control system. there are recalls for 1999 models for same problems.why arent 1998 models included. there is obviously safety issues with my, and many other truck owners as well. next safety issue, the windshield wipers only work on one speed, high. or they stop working while driving. it is a safety issue that has continued to be reported many times. third is fuel guage only works from 3/4 to full, doesnt move until you run out (empty). these issues should be addressed to the proper manufacturer . all these complaints from myself and hundreds of other tax paying americans , we deserve to be safe and protect other drivers . | |||
