STEERING
I OWN A 2005 GMC SIERRA PICK-UP TRUCK. SOMEWHERE IN THE STEERING COLUMN THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE WHENEVER YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I CONTACTED GMC AND THEY STATED THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEM, HOWEVER I COULD TAKE IT TO A GMC DEALER AND HAVE IT EVALUATED FOR ABOUT $100.00. I CONTACTED 2 INDEPENDENT SERVICE SHOPS AND BOTH STATED THAT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GMC'S AND IS CAUSED BY MOVEMENT INSIDE THE STEERING SHAFT. THEY WOULD NOT COMMIT TO STATE THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD, HOWEVER IT DOES CONCERN ME. SINCE GMC IS NOT CONCERNED, I FELT YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC SIERRA. DURING BRAKE APPLICATION BETWEEN 10-12 MPH THE ABS ACTIVATED WITHOUT WARRANT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE DRIVER-SIDE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WAS CLEANED, BECAUSE OF CORROSION . THE TECHNICIAN SPECULATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT IN THE FUTURE. AFTER THE REPAIR THE FAILURE RESURFACED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,433. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,453.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I OWN A 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500HD, THE SPEEDOMETER HAD BEEN MESSING UP BUT ALL THE OTHER GAUGES WORK FINE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL SHOP THINKING IT WAS A LOOSE OR BROKEN CABLE. THE SHOP FOREMAN LAUGHED AND SAID THAT CHEVROLET/GMC HAS HAD A RASH OF THE CLUSTERS GO BAD, AND THAT HE ALONE HAS REPLACED 5 IN THE PAST MONTH. IF THIS IS THE CASE, I FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE $553.50 THAT I HAD TO PAY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE COMPANY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SPEEDOMETER OF MY GMC SIERRA 1500 IS ERRATIC WHEN IT IS WET OUTSIDE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND THE IGNITION KEY IS IN MY POCKET THE SPEEDOMETER READS ANYWHERE FROM 40 TO 50 MPH. WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATES UP TO 120 MPH. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS SAFETY CONCERN BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. A SEARCH OF YOUR DATABASE INDICATES MANY COMPLAINTS. HELP. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ABS SENSOR ENGAGING WHEN NOT REQUIRED AT LOW SPEED BRAKING. OCCURS AT ALMOST EVERY STOP. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR 98-02 MODELS BUT IS STILL OCCURRING ON MINE AND IT IS AN 05. DEALER WANTS TO CLEAN SENSORS BUT CANNOT GUARANTEE THEY WONT GET BROKEN DURING EXTRACTION AT A REPLACEMENT COST OF $280 A WHEEL. THE VEHICLE IS AN 05 GMC SIERRA HALF TON. I LIVE WITHIN THE STATES DEFINED BY THE PREVIOUS RECALL AND HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR. THIS SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT FALL FINANCIALLY TO THE CONSUMER SINCE IT IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH DESIGN THAT HAS BEEN LINGERING FOR NEARLY A DECADE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY GMC TRUCK KEEPS ON GETTING STUCK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY OTHER GMC AND CHEVROLET OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE THAT IT IS IN THE BRAIN OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY THE MOST. IF I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING I AM I AM CREATING POTENTIAL HAZARD. IF THE SPEED LIMIT IS THE RECOMMENDED SAFE SPEED. I DON'T KNOW IF I AM IN COMPLIANCE. NOT ONLY IS IT A SAFETY ISSUE IT IS ALSO A FINANCIAL RISK IN TERMS OF TICKETS. ALL CHEVROLET AND GMC TRUCK OWNERS I KNOW HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY
THE CONNECTOR THAT PLUGS INTO THE BLOWER MOTOR UNDER THE GLOVE BOX BECAME TOO HOT AND MELTED THE PLASTIC RESULTING IN THE A/C AND HEAT NOT TO WORK (THIS INCLUDES THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER). I'VE BEEN LOOKING UP PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH GMC AND CHEVY TRUCKS YET THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY RECALL, IN FACT THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE AN EXTREMELY OVERPRICED KIT TO FIX THEIR FAULTY WIRING. ABOUT 66,000 MI. *TR

REPLACED EVERY MODULE IN THE HEATER SYSTEM IN MY 05 GMC SIERRA SEVERAL TIMES, AND SO HAS JUST ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE I KNOW WHO OWNS ONE. NOW MY WIRING HARNESS BURNED WITHOUT BLOWING ANY FUSES. GM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS, AND FIND THE PROBLEMS, AND FIX THEM, BEFORE EVERYONE WHO OWNS ONE GOES BROKE REPAIRING THEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STEERING
THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER'S PRESSURE ACCUMULATOR CRACKED AND /OR SEPARATED FROM THE HYDRO-BOOST ASSEMBLY DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATING CONDITIONS. THE PRESENCE OF THIS CRACK OR FRACTURED SURFACE ALLOWED THE HYDRAULIC FLUID TO LEAK FROM THE ACCUMULATOR CIRCUIT OF THE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY. THE LOSS OF FLUID CAUSED INCREASED STEERING AND BRAKING EFFORT. *TR
