| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Tl*- the contact's 1999 gmc sierra was difficult to stop when applying the brakes. after taking the vehicle to a service center the contact found that the brakes were still not repaired properly. he read in a consumer magazine which stated that the 1999 gmc truck sierra has the worse brakes. there was a recall on the 2000 gmc truck sierra on the brakes, stating that the base brakes would remain fully functional, but the dynamic rear proportioning (drp) system, which optimizes front to rear brake balance would become inoperative. the contact believes that both model years had the same failure. while driving 40-50 mph and applying the brakes the brakes failed. due to the brake failure the contact had problems with the tires as well. it felt as if the wheels were coming off when the contact was braking. *ak updated 2/22/2007 -*nm |
