ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE OWN A 1999 GMC SIERRA PICKUP. THE ODOMETER AND SHIFT INDICATOR ARE THE LED TYPE. BOTH THE ODOMETER AND SHIFT INDICATOR HAVE SHORTED OUT AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL WHAT THE MILEAGE IS OR WHAT GEAR THE TRUCK IS IN. THIS HAS RESULTED IN TWO INCIDENTS WHERE PEOPLE WERE NEARLY RUN OVER BECAUSE THE DRIVER DID NOT KNOW IF THE TRUCK WAS IN FORWARD OR REVERSE. ALSO, ALTHOUGH THE ODOMETER MEASURES MILEAGE, WE CAN'T READ IT BECAUSE THE DISPLAY IS DARK. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT GETTING THIS FIXED AND THEY INDICATED THE COST WAS $400 BUT THAT THEY HAD REPAIRED ONE OF THEIR OWN VEHICLES AND IT SHORTED OUT AGAIN TWO TIMES. THEY JUST PUT UP WITH IT. TO ME THAT SAYS THAT GMC HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPONENT AND THEY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *JB

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I HAVE A 2003 GMC 2500 HD DURAMAX DIESEL. MY COMPLAINT IS THE AIR CONDITIONING DOESN'T SEEM TO COOL VERY WELL. I HAD A 2002 MODEL AND IT COOLED ALOT BETTER. I AM NOT SURE WHAT WAS CHANGE OTHER THAN THIS IS A DUAL ZONE SYSTEM BUT IS NOT FOR THE BETTER. I WOULD LIKE IF GMC WOULD CHANGE IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS IN 2002, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. I AM A PROFESSIONAL AND WHEN I CLIMB INTO MY TRUCK ON A HOT DAY I SOAK A PERFECTLY GOOD SHIRT WAITING ON IT TO COOL DOWN IN THE CAB. THIS IS PATHETIC TO THINK THAT GMC'S SLOGAN IS "PROFESSIONAL GRADE" NOT AS FAR AS THE AC! *NLM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK SINCE PURCHASED. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE CENTER 3 DIFFERENT TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. NOW THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE BOOSTER CABLES TO START THE CABLES BEGAN TO SMOKE AND THE COPPER WIRES MELTED. IN AN ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE CABLES BEFORE THE OTHER CAR IGNITED I WAS BURNED. ADDITIONALLY THE TRUCK KEYS WERE NOT IN THE ON POSITION. THAT IS I HAD NOT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE YET. *NLM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ABS BRAKING SYSTEM NOT ENGAGING. HUB DAMAGE. CONTINUOUS NEED FOR NEW BRAKES. FINALLY AN ACCIDENT IN NOV 2002.AFTER 7 MONTHS THE REPAIRS COMPLETE BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR NEW HUBS EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A BRAKE ISSUE.AFTER RESEARCH I FIND THAT THE HUBS MAY BE MADE IMPROPERLY. THE WRECK WAS CAUSED BY A MISALIGNED TONE RING OR ABS SENSOR.I BELIEVE THE HUBS ARE A PART OF THIS BUT THE DEALER DENIES IT.MY INSURANCE COVERED MOST OF THE REPAIRS WEAVER AUTO REPAIRED MANY HOSES AND THE ENGINE OIL COOLANT LINESAND ON THE 18TH OF JUNE 2003,FIRST DAY DRIVING THE TRUCK AFTER THE REPAIRS MY ENGINE ACTED LIKE IT BLEW. NOW THEY CLAIM THAT IT MAY HAVE SPUN 2 BEARINGS.( I LEARNED THIS CAN BE CAUSED BY OIL/RADIATOR DAMAGE) ( I DROVE THE TRUCK 80 MILES TOTAL AFTER THE REPAIRS.)I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE DEALER AS WELL AS GMC SINCE THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE OF THE TRUCK IN 1998 WHEN I HAD TO REPLACE THE FIRST SET OF BRAKES PREMATURELY,THEY DENIED ANY PROBLEMS. A WHILE DOWN THE ROAD I LEARNED OF A RECALL ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL TRUCK DUE TO THE ABS SYSTEM. I CONTACTED THEM AND WAS TOLD MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS TRUCK DOES HAVE A BRAKE PROBLEM I HAVE COMPLAINED AND TAKENM IT IN TO BE CHECKED CONSTANTLY. FINANCIALLY DRAINED, I AM AT MY WITS END. *NLM
