About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
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.

Involved in read end accident when at a complete stop.. the force of the accident caused the driverside seat to proceed forward then back causing the seat to collapse. Our concern is that the truck is made for a child to ride in the jump seats located behind the driver and passenger seats.. if my child was with my during the accident then she would have been crushed not only by the force but with the seat collapsing causing major injuries for her. Would like to know if this has been reported before and if this is a safety flaw"?"...
