SERVICE BRAKES
GMC SIERRA WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR EXISTING RECALL REGARDING BRAKING. DEALER INDICATED RECALL HAD BEEN RESOLVED. WHILE BACKING THE TRUCK ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS SINCE RECALL ADDRESSED, BRAKES BECOME MUCH LESS RESPONSIVE WITH CLICKING SOUND. BRAKES BECOME HARD TO PRESS AND DO NOT STOP VEHICLE COMPLETE. THIS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE TOWING A BOAT DOWN RAMP. THE VEHICLE HAS 28,000 MILES AND THE ISSUE DID NOT OCCUR PRIOR TO ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS TONIGHT WHILE BACKING ON LEVEL GROUND INTO GARAGE. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS, BUT THE RECALL WAS NOT ADEQUATELY PERFORMED OR DID NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN
ON FRIDAY NOVEMBER 6TH WE WERE ON OUR WAY HOME COMING DOWN 1960 EAST WHEN WE STARTED TO HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM THE TRUCK. WE COULD HEAR IT LOUD AND CLEAR BECAUSE THE A/C IS ALSO OUT SO WE HAVE BEEN HAVING TO LEAVE THE WINDOWS DOWN. IT SOUNDED LIKE AN OLD ELECTRIC FAN RUNNING. THEN SHORTLY AFTER THE TRUCK STARTED TO JERK HARD IT FELT LIKE WE HAD JUST BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS AND WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY 1960 LUCKY WE WERE CLOSE TO HOME AND WHERE ABLE TO MAKE IT THERE AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET THE TRUCK GOING. MY HUSBAND HAS SOME KNOWLEDGE OF CARS AND REALIZED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. HOW CAN IT HAVE SUCH A MAJOR PROBLEM? WHEN DOING SOME RESEARCH APPARENTLY THIS IS PROBLEM THAT GM IS AWARE OF AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX. AS I MENTIONED BEFORE THE A/C CONDENSER HAS A MAJOR LEAK AND THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM OF GM VEHICLES. BASICALLY WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW LEMON. I'M THANKFUL WE WERE NOT ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE OUTCOME. FOR NOW WE ARE WITH OUT A VEHICLE AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION.

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE FIRST STARTED VIBRATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY (~15K MILES) - I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST OUT OF ALIGNMENT - ALIGNED AND ROTATED TIRES. THIS SEEMED TO IMPROVE THINGS FOR A FEW MONTHS UNTIL THE VIBRATION WAS BACK TO THE UNTOLERABLE STATE - UPON TAKING TO ANOTHER SERVICE STATION, THEY BLAMED THE TIRES (UNEVEN WEAR) AND I PAID FOR ALL NEW TIRES - ONLY FOR THE VIBRATION TO RETURN AFTER ANOTHER FEW MONTHS. I NEXT TOOK IT A 3RD SERVICE STATION AND THEY ARE CLAIMING A BEND WHEEL THAT WONT FULLY BALANCE. AFTER RESEARCHING, I NOW SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH A FAULTY DRIVETRAIN, BUT GMC IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE?? HOW DO I BECOME PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN ORDER TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED PROPERLY?
