1999 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

IN MARCH OF 2009, THE BRAKE LINE ON MY 1999 GMC SIERRA 1500 BROKE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT AND CHECKED ALL OVER AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS RUSTED UNDER THE CAB ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THAT WAS WHERE THE LINE BROKE AND BRAKE FLUID WOULD LEAK OUT. I HAD IT FIXED FOR $650 AND ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2010, THE BRAKE LINE BROKE AGAIN RIGHT AT THE REAR AXLE WHEN I WAS MOVING THE TRUCK IN MY BACKYARD. *TR

APPLIED BRAKE AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKE LINE ABOVE THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL IS ALL CORRODED AND BLEW OUT. I'VE GOTTEN A C QUOTE OF UP TO $1,200. THE TRUCK WILL SIT UNTIL I CAN AFFORD THIS REPAIR. *TR

1999 GMC SIERRA ABOUT 55,000MILES: MANUAL SEAT DRIVERS SIDE: THE DEVICE THAT PREVENTS THE SEAT FROM SLIDING BACK AND FORTH FREELY ON ITS TRACKS HAS FAILED. NOW THE SEAT IS ALL THE WAY BACK EXCEPT UNDER BRAKING, WHEN IT ABRUPTLY SLIDES ALL THE WAY TO THE STEERING WHEEL. NO MATTER HOW ALERT YOU TRY TO BE, EVENTUALLY SOME MANEUVER WILL BE NEEDED WITHOUT TIME TO BRACE YOURSELF, YOUR FOOT WILL MASH THE BRAKE UNCONTROLLABLY TO THE FLOOR AS THE SEAT RUSHES FORWARD, YOUR ARMS WON'T BE ABLE TO STEER AS YOUR BODY RUSHES FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. A HANDFUL OF BROKEN NYLON PIECES AND ZINC CASTING PIECES AND A SPRING WERE RECOVERED FROM THE STARBOARD TRACK. DEALER DOESN'T HAVE A REPLACEMENT FOR JUST THE BROKEN STUFF, THE TRACK ASSEMBLY IS INSANELY EXPENSIVE ($500 FOR BOTH SIDES) NOT COUNTING LABOR. NO JUNKYARD I CAN FIND HAS THE PART, THIS MODEL SEAT WAS ONLY MADE IN 1999. I FOUND ABOUT A DOZEN COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS WHEN I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH. *TR
