POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT, POWER TRAIN
ON FEBRUARY 15, 2012 AT APPROXIMATELY 11:00AM, DRIVING DOWN A TWO LANE PAVED HIGHWAY, THE CROSS PIN IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL GEAR HOUSING FAILED AND PARTS OF IT FELL INTO THE GEARS CAUSING THE REAR TIRES TO LOCK UP AND THE VEHICLE TO SKID OUT OF CONTROL INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. LUCKILY, ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. THIS WAS VERIFIED BY AMERICAN COLLISION IN RUTLAND, VT AS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
UPON STARTING THE TRUCK, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKE FLUID DRAINED UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. A BRAKE LINE RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING A LACK OF BRAKING POWER. THERE WERE NO ALARMS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE TRUCK IS NOT DRIVABLE IN THIS CONDITION. NONE OF THE BRAKES GRAB AND IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. UPON EXAMINATION, ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. SINCE GM DOES NOT MANUFACTURE REPLACEMENT BRAKE LINES, EACH LINE WILL NEED TO BE BENT AND FITTED BY HAND. I UNDERSTAND THAT NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM AND SAYS THERE ARE 6.2 MILLION VEHICLES THAT ARE POSSIBLY AFFECTED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500. I HAVE READ ON ONE POST ALONE ABOUT A "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MESSAGE BEING DISPLAYED, AND THERE ARE OVER 400 PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. THE VEHICLES FROM GM GO INTO A REDUCED POWER AND HAVE NO THROTTLE AT SPEEDS OF UP TO 75+MPH. THERE HAVE BEEN WRECKS FROM THIS AND YET GM DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. I HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE 2 NIGHTS AGO DOING 50 MPH WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT. I WAS A LUCKY ONE AND HAD ROOM TO PULL OVER BEFORE SOMEONE SMACKED INTO THE BACK OF MY TRUCK. PLEASE DO SOMETHING FOR GM OWNERS!!!!!!! THIS IS BS AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DIE FIRST BEFORE A RECALL??? GOVERNMENT MOTORS IS CRAP PEOPLE. DON'T BUY! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
POWER DOOR LOCK FAILED ON DRIVER DOOR. YOU CAN NOT OPEN DOOR WITH OUT LIFTING HAND LATCH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS-- MEANING YOU CAN NOT OPEN DOOR BY DOOR HANDLE-- THERE IS NO OVERRIDE LIKE PROVIDED ON OTHER VEHICLES. OTHER DOOR FAILED 2 MONTHS LATER. TRUCK LOCKS AND UNLOCKS DOORS WHEN MOVING SHIFTER FROM PARK TO DRIVE, THERE IS NO PROGRAM OPTION TO DELETE THIS OPTION. SO YOU LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS EVERY TIME YOU SHIFT TRUCK TRANSMISSION TO PARK OR IN DRIVE. THIS IS NOT NEEDED IN MY CASE, SINCE YOU CAN MANUALLY DO SAME. THIS IS MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE, I TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER AND UPON INVESTIGATION FOUND A CORRODED BRAKE LINE THAT HAD FAILED. AS THEY INVESTIGATED FURTHER THEY FOUND THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC MOST OF MY ADULT LIFE AND HAVE NEVER EVER HEARD OF CORRODED BRAKE LINES ON A 9 YEAR OLD TRUCK. THIS IS INSANE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE????? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMEONE IS KILLED?????? I HAVE NO PROBLEM TAKING THIS TO THE SUPREME COURT. WHEN DOES MONEY TAKE THE PLACE OF THE MOST BASIC SAFETY FEATURE KNOWN TO THE AMERICAN AUTO MAKERS???? I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MANY GM AUTO'S AND TRUCKS THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO CORRECT IT!!!!!! HOW DO THEY SLEEP AT NIGHT? *TR

FRONT ABS SPEED SENSORS FAILED AT 26,000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURE SAID THIS WAS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, THIS MODEL YEAR SHOULD HAVE 60,000 MILES ON IT. THEY HAVE REIMBURSED SOME OWNERS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO PAY OTHERS. NO ONE AT GM COULD EXPLAIN WHY BOTH SENSORS WENT OUT AT THE TIME. *TR
