Brakes failed. I parked with parking brake, looked underneath and noticed fluid leak on pavement. Further inspection showed that rusty brake line developed a pinhole. Other brake lines are rusty. Will likely fail later. Fuel line is also very rusty. Will likely fail later. *tr

We have a 1997 gmc z71 4 wheel drive . The steering grabs and jerks when accelerating, for example when entering a curve as you speed up to make the curve the steering will jerk the driver's hand and arm . The vehicle has done this for sometimes. I have seen from your web site there has been an investigation before. My sister had a suburban the same year model that did the samething. *ak

Antilock brakes activate when stopping on dry pavement, significantly increasing the stopping distance. Repair was made at my cost several years ago. Problem recurred after about 2 years. Dealer who made the first repair said this is a problem with corrosion on the anti-lock sensor. Gm customer service recently said that this is a recall item for the same model truck, but staring with 1998 trucks, not 1997. My 1997 has less than 40,000 miles on it. I feel this is a significant safety defect, and gmc should be forced to recall. It is only be my diligence that there has not been an accident. Gmc suggested i submit a complaint to you. *nm

I own a 1997 gmc sierra extended cab pickup (gmc k15), [xxx]. My problem is failure of the windshield wiper motor. The nhtsa has a campaign# 03v-159 which was subject to a renotification recall earlier in 2005. Upon checking with gmc i was told that the recall did not apply to my vehicle even though many other 1997 gmc pickups and suvs were subject to the recall. I explained that i received a recall earlier in 2003, which i still have, that allowed for a recall. At that time i did not have the motor replaced because i was not experiencing problems. After the 2003 recall period had closed i began having the motor failure and was told it was too late. I don't understand why the renotification should not apply to my vehicle now since my vehicle was identified in the earlier recall in 2003. I continue to have wiper motor problems which occur mostly when it rains. This is a serious safety hazard and an admitted defect by gmc. Thank you for your assistance. Please reply to my email with your response. *nm updated 07/19/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6)

Abs brakes activating when slowing to under ten mph. Believed to be a wheel bearing leaking onto the abs sensor in the wheel. To be repaired soon.

The windsheild wipers on our gmc z-71 truck have stopped working (or work intermittantly). I heard about the recall from my nephew and contacted the dealer who said there was no recall. I looked it up on your site and there is one, so now where do i go?
