I HAVE A 2005 GMC SIERRA 2500HD CREW CAB 4X4 WITH THE 6.0 ENGINE AND 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. EVERYTIME I COME TO A SLOW STOP THE ABS UNIT ENGAGES AND REDUCES PEDAL PRESSURE, CAUSING THE BRAKE POWER TO FADE AND INCREASING THE DISTANCE OF MY STOP. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS. FRONT AND REAR MANIFOLD BOLTS HAVE BROKEN ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDES. AS A RESULT EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE NOW WARPING PUTTING UNDUE STRESS ON REMAINING MANIFOLD BOLTS AND CREATING AN EXHAUST LEAK. BOLTS ARE STEEL, MANIFOLDS ARE CAST, AND HEADS ARE ALUMINUM. DISSIMILAR METALS, HEAT, AND MOISTURE HAVE CAUSED THE BOLTS TO PREMATURELY RUST AND FAIL. EMISSIONS DILUTION WILL NOT ALLOW FOR A PASSING SMOG TEST IN 2013. GMC REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AT HAND, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE ON ALL V8 ENGINES. ESTIMATE TO REPAIR; $2500. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2005 GMC SIERRA. WHILE DRIVING ON DRY ROADS AND BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS THE ABS ABNORMALLY ACTIVATES WITH OUT WARRANT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I CALLED THE GM DEALER TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOT AND I COULD BRING IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE. I SEE THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE AT THE NHTSA FOR THE SAME THING. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT GM HAS DONE A RECALL ON 1999-2002 VEHICLES. I ALSO FOUND THAT GM KNOWS THEY STILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THERE ABS BECAUSE THEY HAVE PUT OUT A TSB # 03-05-25-007D ON IT, AND THE NHTSA HAS IT LISTED ON THERE BULLETIN SECTION. IT IS NHTSA BULLETIN #10004310. *TR
