THIS IS MY SECOND SUBMISSION OF A COMPLAINT. THE FIRST ONE WAS ODI ID 522933. I RESUBMIT BECAUSE I AM INTENSLY FRUSTRATED WITH THE APPARENT LACK OF ACTION ON THE PART OF GM REGARDING MY YEAR VEHICLE. ON 7/21/99, A LARGE GMC RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED PERTAINING TO ABS PROBLEMS. MY YEAR SUBURBAN WAS EXCLUDED PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATION. GM STATED THEY WERE WORKING TO ADDRESS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ISSUES WITH MY YEAR VEHICLE. THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING WITH ME ALONG THESE LINES. MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE MANY OF THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN YOUR CURRENT COMPLAINT SUBMISSIONS FOR 1993 SUBURBANS. WHAT IS BEING DONE?? THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. IS GM JUST WAITING UNTIL THE 92 THRU 94S JUST ROT AWAY AND ARE NO LONGER A PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE FOR 187,000 AND I INTENDED TO DRIVE IT FOR SEVERAL MORE YEARS BUT THE ANXIETY IS GETTING THE BEST OF ME. WHO ELSE CAN I WRITE OR CALL? THIS IS SERIOUS. PLEASE CONTACT ME ON MY DAY NUMBER - 512 868 0374. *AK

OVER THE ENTIRE TIME THAT WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, THE BRAKES AND THE ABS SYSTEM HAVE NOT OPERATED RELIABLY. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN ON AN IRREGULAR OR WET STREET (EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS, BELOW 30MPH), AND THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR AND ALL BRAKING EFFECT VANISHES MOMENTARILY. THIS DEFINITELY INVOLVES THE ABS SYSTEM, BECAUSE THERE IS THE CHARACTERISTIC VIBRATION OF THE PEDAL WHEN THE SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED. ABS ACTIVATION DURING THESE EPISODES IS INAPPROPRIATE, INEFFECTIVE, AND DANGEROUS TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. *AK
