TRIED TO STOP AT RED LIGHT ,AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN I HAD TO JUMP THE CURB NOT TO HIT ANOTHER CAR. MY HUSBAND CAME AND LOOKED AT THE TRUCK AND SAW THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED THROUGH AND FLUID WAS COMING OUT. HE PUT A WHOLE CAN OF BRAKE FLUID IN SO THAT I COULD MOVE THE TRUCK DOWN THE STREET TO A SERVICE CENTER. AGAIN THE REPAIR MAN SAID ALL THE BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED OUT. WE REPAIRED ONE A SUMMER AGO WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

WE HAVE NOTICED THAT OUR CARS ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE WHEN WE GET TO A LOW SPEED OF ABOUT 5 MPH, CAUSING OUR STOPPING DISTANCE TO BE INCREASED, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED US TO REAR-END ANOTHER CAR. WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND NOTICED THIS PROBLEM ON THANKSGIVING OF THIS YEAR. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM THROUGH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V379000. WE CALLED GMC HOTLINE AND THEY SAY IT ISN'T COVERED BY THE RECALL. I SEE THE RECALL HAS BEEN REVISED SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT DOES OCCUR? *TR

This PI communicates the requirement to provide a pico file to receive diagnostic assistance from TAC.

Vehicle Wide Programming (VWP) is a new process to update software on GM Vehicles. It provides the ability via a single selection within Techline Connect to first identify which modules need updating and then proceed to updating affected modules (with some exceptions). The updating of modules is completed in parallel instead of the technician needing to update one module at a time. This allows a more streamlined approach for dealers and customers.

GM is receiving damaged (cracked or broken) transmission cores returned to the reman facilities. The damage is being caused either in the removal process by the technician, or inadequate packaging or shipping. This bulletin advises the dealers to be more careful not to damage the transmissions during removal and to package the core properly for return.

This service bulletin advises of a new fuel injection cleaner kit used for decarbonizing the intake valves to correct conditions of rough idle, Crank no start, extended crank or misfire, MIL with DTCs, and explains how Top Tier fuels should be used to reduce carbon build-up.

This bulletin provides information for use on a Product Assistance Claim (PAC), which is formerly known as a Product Allegation Resolution (PAR) claim.

This service bulletin provides information for dealers/technicians on Service Programming System (SPS) Error Codes E4398, E4399, E4401, E4403, M4404, M4413, M6954, M6955, E4414, E4423, E4491, E4492, or E6961 and resolution information.
