ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
MY IGNITION ALSO SWITCHES OFF DUE TO THE KEY CHAIN BEING TO HEAVY, I WOULD LIKE MY VEHICLE FIXED AS WELL. I THINK GM IS NOT TELLING THE WHOLE STORY ON HOW MANY VEHICLE ARE AFFECTED BY THE IGNITION SWITCHES. I CAN PROVE MY CLAIM BY ATTACHING MY TWO KEY CHAINS TOGETHER AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AGAIN. *TR

STEERING
I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR A GRINDING NOISE THE STEERING RACK WAS MAKING WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A POWER STEERING GEAR, COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, THEY SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE RE-MANUFACTURED PART THEY USED LEAKS, TOOK IT BACK A SECOND TIME, THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD SEAL AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THE SEAL. HAD TO TAKE IT IN A THIRD TIME BECAUSE IT LEAKED AGAIN, SO THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE RACK AGAIN, COME TO FIND OUT, THE LAST TIME THEY HAD IT THEY REPLACED THE STEERING RACK AGAIN, SO THIS IS THE THIRD STEERING RACK THEY HAVE PUT ON A 2013 TRUCK, AND IT STILL LEAKS, THEY GAME ME A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SAYS IT IS NORMAL FOR IT TO LEAK FROM THAT AREA AND IT GOES AWAY IN A FEW MONTHS, ALSO THE SERVICE BULLETIN SAYS A DRIP FROM THERE DOES NOT WARRANT A ACTIVE LEAK, I SAY A DRIP ON THE GROUND IS A ACTIVE LEAK. I LIVE IN TEXAS AND BY STATE LAW A VEHICLE CANNOT PASS STATE SAFETY INSPECTION WITH ANY LEAKS ON THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. HOW DO I KNOW THAT THIS LEAK WILL EVEN GO AWAY? MY TRUCK WON'T EVEN PASS INSPECTION LATER THIS YEAR WHEN I HAVE TO GO BECAUSE OF THIS LEAK. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, THEY SHOULD NOT BE RE ISSUING SUCH A IMPORTANT PART TO THE STEERING SYSTEM AND IT LEAK, I HAVE FOLLOWED UP WITH GM AND SAID I WANT A BRAND NEW ON PUT ON AND NO LEAKS, IT DIDN'T LEAK WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT SHOULDN'T LEAK NOW. I HAVE LOST FAITH IN THE RELIABILITY OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE REPLACE THE SAME PART THREE TIMES( A KEY PART TO THE STEERING SYSTEM), IT LEAKS, AND ALL THREE TIMES THE PART WAS RE-MANUFACTURED( USED), I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THAT PART, THEY SHOULD BE USING BRAND NEW ONES AND NO LEAKS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN I NOTICED MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS FEELING SOFT, THE NEXT TIME I DEPRESSED THE PEDAL, IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AT ALL. I COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT AND USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COMPLETE THE STOP. I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE BY THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND WITNESSED THE FLUID DRIPPING OUT OF THE BRAKE LINES. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, WHERE HE DISCOVERED ALL FOUR LINES HAD FAILED AT A POINT WHERE ALL THE LINES WERE HELD TOGETHER BY A MOUNTING BRACKET, JUST UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE, AND MOUNTED TO THE FRAME. HAD I BEEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND HAD TO MAKE A QUICK STOP THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I EXPERIENCE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK THAT FLASHES AN ERROR CODE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". THIS IS TIED TO ERROR CODE P1516. USUALLY THIS PROBLEM OCCURS IN COLDER PARTS OF THE YEAR, AND ON A COLD SOAKED ENGINE, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED OTHER TIMES AS WELL. AS SOON AS THE ERROR OCCURS THE THROTTLE SHUTS AND LEAVES THE VEHICLE WITH ONLY INERTIA TO ATTEMPT TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON THE INTERSTATE, AND THOUGH I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT YET, I DO CONSIDER IT DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANICS, AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITHOUT A SOLUTION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I STARTED SMELLING GASOLINE AND FOUND A CORRODED FUEL LINE AT THE JUNCTION BETWEEN THE NYLON LINE LEADING FROM THE FUEL PUMP TO THE STEEL LINE GOING TO THE FUEL FILTER. DOING REPAIRS, THE HARD BRAKE LINE LEADING FROM THE ABS UNIT UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT AREA TO THE REAR FLEX LINE CONNECTOR WAS LEAKING BADLY AS WELL AT THE REAR-MOST FITTING. PURCHASING THESE LINES SEPARATELY CANNOT BE DONE, SO I'M REPLACING ALL OF THE FUEL/BRAKE LINES MYSELF. I'M USING STAINLESS TUBING FOR THE BRAKE LINES NOT PROVIDED BY FACTORY GM PARTS. *TR

STEERING
TRUCK WITH A FULL-SIZE CAMPER WAS PARKED FOR LESS THAN 5 MIN. BEFORE IT BLEW UP AND BURNED UP. NORTH AMERICAN TECHNICAL & FORENSIC SERVICES EXAMINED THE TRUCK AND DETERMINED THAT THE CAUSE WAS A POWERSTEERING FLUID LEAK IN THE LEFT FRONT ENGINE COMPARTMENT AT THE POWERSTEERING FLUID LINE OR LINE CONNECTIONS. AFTER THE FIRE, I CONTACTED GM REGARDING THE INCIDENT AND ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY RECORD OF THIS TYPE OF FIRE AND THEY SAID NO. HOWEVER, IN CHECKING THE RECALLS, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR POWERSTEERING LEAKAGE. GM THEN FILED BANKRUPTCY. *TR

ENGINE
I HAD A 2007 GMC SIERRA. THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THIS VEHICLE I'VE ASK WHY THE 5.3L MOTOR BURNS A QUART OF OIL OR MORE DURING OIL CHANGES. CONSTANTLY ASK MULTIPLE DEALERS TO INSPECT AND THEY CONTINUED TO STATE THAT'S JUST THIS ENGINE AND WOULD NEVER MARK PAPERWORK TO CHECK. ALWAYS STATED IT WILL BURN A LITTLE OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I CONTINUED TO BELIEVE THIS AS OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE TYPE TOLD ME SAME INFORMATION. ON OR AROUND FEB 7, 2014 ENGINE DROPPED CYLINDERS AND LOST MOST POWER TO VEHICLE WHILE ON INTERSTATE. I'M CONCERNED AS IT LOST POWER AND DRAMATICALLY SLOWED BUT ALSO THAT I'VE HAD A FAULTY PRODUCT SINCE BUYING AND NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. I MAINTENANCED THIS VEHICLE PROPERLY. AFTER TELLING ME THE COST TO REPLACE THE 2 CYLINDERS OR ENGINE I HAD A DECISION TO MAKE. THIS ENGINE SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT HAS MAJOR PROBLEMS. UNFORTUNATELY GM DIDN'T RECALL THE ENGINE AND FIX IT PROPERLY WITHIN MY WARRANTY TIMEFRAME. I EVEN BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY. NOW I'VE HAD TO BUY NEW TRUCK WHICH I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT IF ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING IN 2007 GMC TRUCK. THESE "ECO" ENGINES NEED TO BE REVIEWED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
FEB 7, 2011, WITH JUST 11,200 MILES REPLACED TWO GLOW PLUGS. SEPT 6, 2013, IN MILLERSBURG, OHIO, WITH 26,632 ANOTHER GLOW PLUG WAS REPLACED AND WAS ADVISED WE SHOULD HAVE THE TURBO CHECKED WHEN WE RETURNED HOME IN CALIFORNIA. MARCH 20, 2014, WITH 31,986 MILES, TURBO WAS REPLACED. GIVEN THAT OUR 2005 GMC TRUCK, VIN # [XXX], BLEW UP AND BURNED UP WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES, THIS IS VERY ALARMING THAT OUR 2009 TRUCK IS HAVING SUCH MAJOR PROBLEMS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
