ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, "SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM" MESSAGE APPEARS IN DISPLAY, ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATES. SINCE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, LOSE STEERING AND BRAKING. LATEST INCIDENT OCCURED ON HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR. THIS ALSO HAPPENED FIRST YEAR I OWNED THE VEHICLE (I BOUGHT IT NEW), THEY REPLACED THE UNDERHOOD FUSE BOX. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON MARCH 13. THEY REPLACED A BLOWN PCM FUSE AND SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. WHEN IT OCCURED ON 3/29, I REPLACED THE FUSE 5 TIMES TO TRY AND GET OFF THE FREEWAY. AFTER EACH TIME IT WAS REPLACED, I COULD DRIVE 1-2 MILES BEFORE IT WOULD BLOW AGAIN.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
WE NEED TO INSTALL A TODDLER'S BRITAX CAR SEAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF A 2007 GMC SIERRA TRUCK. OUR TRUCK HAS NO WAY TO ALLOW US TO TURN OFF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. WE HAVE CONTACTED GMC CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND OUR LOCAL DEALER AT CROWN GMC IN ST. PETE FL AND THEY TOLD US THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN TURN IT OFF. THEN ERICA CALLED FROM GMC CORPORATE AND TOLD US IT COULD BE TURNED OFF BUT WE NEEDED TO CONTACT YOU AND FILL OUT A FORM. HER PHONE NUMBER IS 866-790-5600 EXT 11292. PLEASE HELP US FIGURE OUT A SAFE WAY TO INSTALL THE SEAT AND AUTHORIZE GMC TO SHOW US HOW TO TURN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF WHEN THE CHILD CAR SEAT IS IN AND ON FOR WHEN THE SEAT IS NOT INSTALLED AND AN ADULT PASSENGER RIDES IN FRONT. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
I HAVE A 2007 GMC SIERRA EXTENDED CAB Z71. THE TRUCK IS APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS OLD WITH 20000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN THE NORTHEAST FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFE. THE FRAME ON THE TRUCK FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR AS WELL AS MANY OF THE COMPONENTS UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK HAVE BECOME EXTREMELY RUSTED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MANY DEALERS AND THEY SAY THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE ROAD SALT AND SNOW/ICE THAT COMES WITH THE NORTHEAST WINTER. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, BUT I AM AFRAID THAT THIS RUST WILL LEAD TO CORROSION(ROT) AND SOMETHING MAJOR COULD HAPPEN TO THE VEHICLE AND OR MYSELF. SINCE THIS TRUCK IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS THIS ISSUE, IT IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE WITH AGE. *TR
