	The abs antilocking light on the dash board came on. when i brought the truck to the deliver i was told that the bpmv valve had failed and that i had no abs brakes. then i was informed that it would cost me $1400 to replace this valve. i find this completely unreasonable for a safety system repair. since then i have found out from other sources that the retail gm price of the valve is only $108.63. i have also heard that there have been problems with the chev s10 abs system. shouldn't this be repaired under a recall? if not it should as least be repaired at a reasonable cost!*ak

	I have had a problem with the abs since i got the vehicle, however, i was unfamiliar with abs and thought the problem was normal. when i brake, if i hit a bump, the brakes lock up, and i continue to slide. this has happened on many occasions, on dry and wet pavements and on snow and ice. i came very close (10-15 feet) to sliding into a busy intersection once when this brake problem occurred. i received a recall letter from the manufacturer and when i attempted to have the problem fixed, was told that my particular vehicle was not covered under the recall because it was manufactured at a different plant. i have wasted a lunch hour and a lot of time on the phone trying to get satisfaction from gmc, to no avail, besides putting my life and other's lives on the line whenever i drive. as for the driver's seat problem, this developed about 2 years ago. the lever on the side of the seat which lays the back down and brings it up came off, stripped (it was plastic). now i have no way to adjust my seatback, and every once in a while, it slips back on it's own and i cannot control it. i am sure that one of these days i'll be driving along and my seatback will just fall down. the glove box door broke off the dash. if i have an accident, it will become a missile inside the cab. both the seat and the glove box door are not covered under my warranty from the manufacturer which is known as a universal warranty, and which i paid an additional $1300 to obtain, just for problems such as these. *ak
