“The electronic brake traction control module failed. The part would also run frequently. The fuse had to be pulled in order to keep the module from running when the key was turned off. The dealer suggested that the module was faulty. The consumer was told it would cost 795.00 to replace the ABS module.”

“While driving and without prior warning the headlights went completly out causing poor visibility. Consumer has to use high beams in order to see. The dealer stated that the multifunction switch in the steering column, after the switch was replaced it had a bad connection at a plug down the steering column.”

“Abs system would not stop running after truck was cut off and key was removed.the fuse was removed. Dealer said system had to be replaced at a cost of $1600.00 GM was called but was no help.”

“Thottle has stuck 15-20 times - vehicle has been driven about 500 times. Twice it stuck as we approached highway crossstreet and once in anchorage at an intersection. Other times there was no traffice around. Dec 23,'99, john was backing uphill with a piano in the Pickup - 5 people were witnesses-he crept back up an incline toward the deck and put on the brakes - the truck continued uphill while he pushed on the brakes. All five people yelled, stop but the vehicle would not stop and he ran into the deck and steps, which broke the railing. …”
