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. *AK
