I have tried to resolve this with san bernadino GMC and inland valley GMC. No satisfaction yet. Brakes go out on an average of 5000-6000 miles. Now, GMC will not warranty them any longer because of my problems. Steering wheel noise has got better but not fixed yet. Had this since I have had the vehicle. Vibrating in rear end, occures after warm. Continouse problem.

We have reported excessive brake wear and pulling to the manufacturer. When brakes are applied, vehicle pulls sharply to left lane. Dealer has replaced pads and rotors and calipers six times in 10,000 miles. Other owners are experiencing same problems. Manufacturer rep says to just pull harder on steering wheel. We have also contacted better business bureau for buyback. GM service managers tell us this is manufacturing problem and cannot be corrected.

When brakes are applied vehicle pulls to the left, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer has inspected vehicle. Still the rear brakes do not hold and left front brakes lock up causing vehicle to pull to the left.

Rear axle fell off of the vehicle while driving on a major freeway. When the axle fell off we lost complete braking capability.

The braking system has always been slow, ie..when trying to stop, I can push, and push and the car wont stop. When stopped at a light, the burb will "jump" my foot does not leave the pedal, nor do I release any pressure from the brakes. The vehicle was serviced, and I was informed there was nothing wrong with the brakes, and the "jumping" was caused by the transmission trying to make up pressure when the air conditioning was running. Well, now my brakes squeel like a banshee, and im still jumping when stopped, wether my airconditioning is on or off. I almost hit the car in front of me today, while I was stopped at a light,

Vehicle was moving on the interstate while at 65 mph on cruise control. The automatic gear shift column was struck by the passenger and the transmission was sent into reverse. This action caused the brakes to lockup and the control mechanical lock on the wheel column was locked into a right hand turn with no way to control the vehicle. The vehilce started to skid out of control and then proceeded to roll over three times. All occupants were in saftey belts except my daughter who was int the back seat asleep. The vehicle was totally destroyed. It took resecue crews to remove myself the driver and daughter who was trapped in the back. We were transported via ambulance to a local hospital. All five passengers were released with only minor bruises and cuts. I would like to find out why the steering column lock and why a safety feature is not provided to keep the transmission from being accidently put into reverse while the vehicle is traveling in drive. Please help me find a solution to this potential problem.
