I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE RIGHT SIDE SEATBELT ON MY 2001 GMC SIERRA PICKUP FOR THE THIRD TIME SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK THE SEAT BELT STOPED WORKING IT PULLS TIGHT IN THE SEAT MAKING ITUNUSEABLE WITHOUT WARNING MY WIFE WAS IN SOUTHDAKOTA WITH HER DAUGHTER AND IT TIGHTENED UP THEY HAD TO FINISH THE TRIP WITHOUT IT . I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THR 2000 TRUCKS FOR SEATBELTS . MY TRUCK WAS MADE IN MID 2000 AND PUT INTO SERVICE IN AUGUST 2000. COULD I HAVE GOTTEN ONE OF THE OLD SEATBELTS . NOW FOR THE SECOND TIME I HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW SEAT BELT . THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS COVERED UNDERWARRENTY AS IT HAPPENED ONLY SIX MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST TIME NOW ALMOST 2 YEARS TO THE DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I AM A FIRM BELIEVER IN WEARING BELTS SO NOW FOR 2 WEEKS NO ONE CAN RIDE IN MY TRUCK. I STILL HAVE NOT GOT THE NEW BELT

DISC ROTOR DELAMINATION, ANTI-LOCK CONTROL. I WAS PULLING A 3/4 TON VAN STUCK IN HIS YARD, AS I GOT HIM CLOSE TO THE HARD SURFACE ( DRIVEWAY) I PUT ON THE BRAKES AND THE TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP, IT HIT THE CORNER OF HIS BLOCK HOUSE. NO DAMAGE TO THE HOUSE HOWEVER I HAD TO REPLACE ALL BUT HOOD AND ONE HEADLIGHT ASSY. 10 MPH AND NEITHER BAG DEPLOYED. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY OWN STUPIDITY UNTIL READING ALL THE ISSUES ON HERE W/ GM'S BRAKING PROBLEMS. I FEEL A BIT BETTER ABOUT MYSELF. THE BIG ISSUE !! ALL FOUR ROTORS DELAMINATED W/ 46,000 MILES THIS IS THE 1ST NEW TRUCK I'VE OWNED AND BELIEVE ME IT'S BEEN BABIED FOR SURE. I WAS TOLD BY MY SERVICE DEALER THERE WAS NOTHING GM WOULD DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IT WAS MY PROBLEM FOR NOT DRIVING IT AS MUCH AS I SHOULD (B.S.) DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME A GRAND TO REPLACE ALL THE ROTORS AND PADS I DID IT FOR 500.00 AND STILL HAVE THE OLD PARTS. I'M SURE GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS, IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE DID I FAIL TO MENTION THE MUFFLER HAD A RATTLE IN IT AND WAS REPLACED WITHIN THE 1ST 1000 MILES, THE THUMP IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT HAS NO WAY TO BE LUBRICATED. MAN I AM DISAPPOINTED IN GM PRODUCTS. *JB
