1999 GMC Sierra SL review from North America
"I'll try a Ford F-150 next time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lousy mileage at approximately 16.5 avg
Several recalls.
My brakes pulsing like crazy at 22.5k miles.
I have just had to replace fuel injectors 1, 2, and 3. Truck was running fine on Saturday, and on Monday morning, it was running on 3 cylinders.
No GM warranty, but the Calif Air Resources Board (News Release 03-=05 dated 2/11/03) has forced GM to provide extended warranty coverage for Calif emissions trucks.
I had the exact same problem described, but no extended warranty. What about the rest of us???
General comments?
Reasonable nice basic truck, but the reliability of the GM "Professional Grade" leaves a lot to be desired.
I don't put a lot of miles on a truck and it isn't worked hard at all, so I expect a high degree of reliability.
