| Failure of abs module caused abs light and red service brake lights to come on. replacing both front hub bearings (including both front abs sensors and wiring) and repairing the ground strap on the frame for the abs system did not fix the problem. service brake system has new calipers ,rotors,and pads and a full inspection revealed no problems or failures. abs module is still on vehicle but will be replaced next. | |||

| Truck will run fine until warm. pulling into stop sign, garage, traffic light,parking lot etc. truck will shut off. alternator gauge pulls down below 9 volts. new alt. belt, new alternator, new fuel filter were replaced. several bottles of injector cleaner were used over a six month period. nothing helped so far. i have had several near accidents due to this. the last one was on a divided highway when i stopped at a stop sign and the engine stoped and i ended up out into the south obund lanes of traffic. luckily nothing was coming.*ak | |||

| Dt: the consumer took vehicle to the dealership for manufacturer's recall 05500 work on 7-28-05 for the ignition distributor system. it was inspected and replaced. . when the consumer took the truck to dealer it was running well, there were no problems. about 30-45 minutes later consumer was called by the service desk and informed that truck needed a new distributor. however, consume r did not believe that truck needed a new distributor. then a service person told consumer that vehicle needed a distributor or they could tie a zip tie on the distributor, and that was what the service department did. they tied a plastic zip tie onto the distributor. consumer was wondering why that happened to the vehicle when it was running well. before the recall work was done thirty minutes earlier. the service person said if the owner did not get a new distributor the tie could come loose and the truck would quit running. needless to say, consumer was not satisfied that the dealership put a brand aide fix on the truck and put it back on the road. consume r had not contacted gm at this point. *ak | |||

| I dont really know what lead up to the failure but the pass lock anti theft system on the gm products really needs to be looked into. this problem can cause the vehicle to shut down at any given moment or not start at all. 90 % off the vehicles that have the pass lock system on them have problems. gm mechanics say it is the ignition switch or this or that but it isnt it is the passlock system. after parts have been replaced it still happens. i live in a small rural community with alot of trains and i dont feel that my truck should be stalling on the railroad tracks because of this problem. after looking around on the net to find help there is thousands of people who have this same problem. what happens if the vehicle stalls in the wrong place or an emergency comes up and it will not start. someone could get seriously hurt or even killed. i beleive this is a serious safety issue and should be looked into. my vehicle itself stalled for 10 min in the middle of the road. i really dont know what could fix the problem except there is ways to bypass it. rewire your ignition switch. this could cause other problems. or you can buy a fifty dollar bypass module. then you have to live with the security light on. ya you could unplug the light in the message center but what about all the other alerts that come up in there. you would loose them. i would rather have my security system working properly so that if someone trys to steal my vehicle they have a harder time doing so & so my family and i dont have to worry about stalling somewhere. i would think that with all the complaints that gm gets about this they would have a bit of an idea to fix it. thank you for your time | |||

| After fuel pump was replaced, the vehicle wouldn't start. *ph while the vehicle was under warranty, it would not start. the fuel pump was changed but not the connector. the problem resurfaced and quit running numerous times. the service dealer stated that the fuel cap was not tight enough which caused this problem. (the cap was tightened) the vehicle stopped running while at a traffic light more than once. the consumer had taken the vehicle to the dealer and had to pay for repairs because the vehicle was then out of warranty. several weeks later the problem recurred and the service dealer found no gas pressure and replaced the pump. the vehicle stopped again while the consumer was making a left turn. the consumer had taken upon himself to go under the vehicle and wiggled the wiring harness which started the vehicle. the service dealer changed the fuel pump connector harness. (the connector was burned and pitted) *sc *jb | |||
