SERVICE BRAKES
LOOKED UNDER MY TRUCK AFTER MY BRAKES FAILED WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. WAS SURPRISED AT HOW RUSTY ALL THE LINES ARE. AAA TOWED MY TRUCK HOME. I SPENT THE NEXT 3 DAYS REPLACING BRAKE LINES. NOW I NOTICED THE LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER ARE RUSTY AS WELL. NOW I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THOSE AS WELL. I'VE NEVER HAD BRAKE LINES RUST OUT LIKE THESE HAVE. MY WIFE DRIVES A LITTLE 1999 ESCORT AND THE BRAKE LINES ON THAT ARE FINE. WHAT THE HECK THIS IS ALL THE USE YOU CAN EXPECT ON A GMC SIERRA? *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE VEHICLE IS A 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO DRIVE. ONCE I HAD ARRIVED AT THE DESTINATION THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AS A RESULT. I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE ELECTRONIC LOCK TO RE-LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOOR AND THIS HAD NO SUCCESS. ATTEMPTED ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPENING THE DOOR WITH THE OUTSIDE LATCH WHICH ALSO HAD NO SUCCESS. TRIED MANUALLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOOR AND NOTHING APPEARS TO ALLOW THIS DOOR TO BE OPENED USING THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DOOR LATCHES. I HAD TO EXIT THE VEHICLE USING THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WHICH OPENED AS IT SHOULD. NEITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DOOR LATCHES FUNCTIONED. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND THIS SHOULD BE PUT ON A RECALL LIST AND THE RESOLUTION SHOULD BE PROVIDED AT NO COST TO THE OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR
