1997 Chevy Silverado Z-71 brakes go to the floor. Have invested over $1,200.00 to have them serviced at a GM service department with bad results. Brakes still to the floor. Intake gasket was culprit for miss in engine at cruise speed after GM service department charged over $250.00 for tune up parts and labor. Don’t know if the gasket work stopped themiss because can not drive the GM truck because it is unsafe to drive. Wouldn’t want to hit GM mechanic in parking lot due to unsafe brakes now would we? According to all of these postings, the GM people should know about these problems. Am I alone in this assumption? I hope the prior posting about dirty wheel sensors works. I am going to inform the GM mechanic about this simple fix. If it works or does not work I will place another posting to let others know about it. GM needs to own up to their problem before deaths occur. Am sure it has happened sometime/somewhere…later on

The windshield wipers on my 1998 GMC Sierra worked fine for the first 5 years but during the past 2 years they work when they want to. We live in a desert area and do not use the wipers very often but now it is a crapshoot on their availability. I have noticed that if I turn the ignition off for a few minutes the wipers usually come on after restart. The last time at the dealers for routine maintenance I asked them to look at problem. They said they were too busy that day but to ask again during next maintenance. After reading comments from others, this next appointment should be interesting .

And all you out there with wheel speed sensor and bearing/hub problems, I have that too. I have a whole christmas tree of warning lights on my dashboard.

Hey T.Seipel(8/17/05),

I would like to point out that I am having the same (secondary air pump in the emissions system) problem with my ‘01, S-10, ZR-2. The first time when the engine light came on the dealership told me it was because my gas cap was loose (feeling awfully stupid, I didn’t force them to run diagnostics on it until a month later when the light still had not turned off). Unfortunately, that cost me about $600 to replace, and then it went again within their petty 12,000 mile warranty and GM covered the cost. At this time, I was told that the pump “must have been submerged”. Considering that I had only driven in a maximum of 5-6″ of water, I don’t see how that was possible if the truck sits on 31″ tires. They told me if it happened again they would not cover it (and I said “we’ll see about that when the time comes”) So here I am one year later(just over the warranty) and it has failed again, and as luck would have it, I’m due for emissions testing. Anyone else out there having similar problems with your ‘01, 4.3 L, V6 and the secondary air pump???

I own a 2000 Silverado 1500 4×4 and just had the ABS speed senso recall work done. I too have the problem with my fuel gauge sensor jumping from full to empty constantly when I have a full tank. Once I get to 1/4 full it seems to slow down quite abit. I also have the vibration in the rear at 65-70 MPH. Along with the INT steering shaft making the noise during turns. The INT steering shaft work runs $357 at my dealer. Hopeing for the recall on that.

My 97 Silverado is also having the same issues with the wiper motor and ABS. I cleaned off the front ABS sensors and that helped out a bit, but does anyone know where the rear ABS sensors are? let me know thanks.. and oh yeah I filled a complaint also already…

GMC Sierra 2000 Ext. Cab Pickup – Faulty Fuel Gauge readings, friend of mine with identical truck/engine, only a Chevy, has same problem. Dealers want around $700 – could be a mounting bolt in firewall?, sensor, or from sulfur in gas … why no recall yet? GM Cust. Service contacted me said to get a record of it at local dealer – could be recall if enough people complain.
