1998 GMC Sierra SLT review from North America
"I like the truck, BUT maintenance is getting costly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
27K - brakes on one front wheel wore down to the metal. After several phone calls GM reimbursed me for the brake job.
43K - brakes went, master cylinder extended warranty covered it. Asked if this caused any damage to the shoes, they said no, they were fine.
49k - needed a brake job again.
* I am not hard on brakes, my old conversion van went 85k before needing brakes.
General comments?
Is it normal for the '98 Sierra 1500 to need brakes every 23k miles? If so I need to find a vehicle where the brakes are designed better.
