| On many gm trucks,suvs and cars fuel sending unit failure is a constant problem. we have replaced no less than 10 of these at a cost of approx. 500.00 per item. this is not an isolated problem with just us. many dealers see this as a recall item. *tr | |||

| We purchased a 2001 silverado ext in 7-01. truck had about 16,000 miles on it, when we bought it new/used. parking brake seemed to be really soft, but lot assured us, nothing was wrong with it and that the new technology we had with vehicle's, made it easier for elderly people and such. yes the brake works great on level ground, but wait until you really need it like on a sloped driveway............. or getting the vehicle inspected! this is when they really give you the works!!dealership wanted to charge us almost $200 to fix a 15 minute job, which should have been fixed while it was under warranty. we had an unfortunate incident, which resulted in the death of another person. to make a long story short, i feel it may have been prevented, if these(so called) great anti-lock brakes on gm vehicles did what they are supposed to do. we have encountered several occasions where the brakes go to the floor, get really spongy, even when constant pressure on pedal is maintained, and the result is erratic! what happened to the gmc/chevrolet brand?! ----p.s.- we were told this is a common complaint on the parking brake, but yet there is no recall on a safety defect?! by the way, gm this is the last vehicle purchase we will make from you. it seems the quality and safety factor mean nothing to your company anymore, without trying to make more money from the consumer...oh well, just one less customer!! *cb | |||

| Parking brake and fuel gage. i recently moved overseas with af and had to have my vehicle inspected for european standards. my parking break did not work at all. i found this hard to believe since i have never used it. i was mandated by european law to get fixed in order to drive it and pay a $30 for each month until i got it fixed. my fuel gage doesn't maintain how much fuel i have in my gas tank. when i have a full or empty tank the gauge just randomly boucess around with the unknown correct amount. i am currently setting the mileage until i can find someone to fix it and the parts i need. *tr | |||
