What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Brakes: driving on freeway at approximately 35MPH attempted to slow down because there was an accident ahead, brake pedal went completely to the floor and vehicle would not stop, resulting in a crash/injuries.
Driver's side airbag did not deploy during frontal collision, front(head on) of vehicle broadsided another moving vehicle, front of vehicle shortened about 14 inches during impact, damaged vehicle back to driver's door.
The vehicle's fuel solenoid driver failed. The consumers complaint is a consern on the failure of the fuel solenoid driver which is an electronic component mounted on th fuel injection pump on 6.5 liter turbo diesel engines with electronic fuel injection and installed in general motors light trucks and suv's from 1994-1999. The consumer vehicle stalled at 41000 miles on the injection pump. The consumer had the pump replaced at his own expense.
Dt: the consumer states there is massive rust on the rear brake line. This caused the brake line to rupture. Brake fluid was leaking out, causing a problem while trying to brake. The service dealer stated the brake line needed to be replaced. The dealer did not remove the old brake line when they installed a new one.
