Air Bags
04/09/2004
DRIVING ALONG HWY 71 EAST, FELL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL AND RAN INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IN MY STEERING WHEEL DID NOT DEPLOY. ONLY BECAUSE I WAS ASLEEP DID I AVOID SERIOUS INJURY AND ALSO I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED AT THIS TIME.*K

"REFER TO PRIOR COMPLAINT- ID VQ-528687-YN-PDF" WHEN A WHEEL SKIDS A VERY,VERY,VERY SHORT DISTANCE WHILE BRAKING, ABS DOES NOT ENGAGE BUT LOCKS OUT CONVENTIONAL BRAKING! NO BRAKES, NO STOP. WHEN TOWING A 7000+ POUND LOAD IT GIVES YOU A VERY NEGATIVE THRILL. NO FIX FROM DEALER OR GMC, TRIED MANY, MANY TIMES. REMOVED 60 AMP ABS FUSE! TRUCK STOPS BUT IT IS NOT WHAT SHOULD BE DONE. I HAVE DRIVEN THE TRUCK 116000 MILES, 40000 WITH THE FUSE REMOVED. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OTHER THAN JUNKING IT, REPLACING THE FUSE AND KILLING MYSELF AND OTHERS, ETC. PLEASE ADVISE. IT APPEARS TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE ABS PROBLEM ON 1995 AND EARLIER TRUCKS THAT PROMPTED A (MFG?) RECALL BUT GMC DENIES IT. AT THAT TIME I SPOKE WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT WAS INVESTIGATING THE ABS PROBLEM. EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD GIVE HIM THE BEST CHANCE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT LATER THAT IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ABS COMPUTER HAD A PROGRAMMING PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE GMC DEVE...
