STEERING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2001 GMC SIERRA 1500. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN EXCEPTIONAL CARE OF MY VEHICLE. THE MOTOR HAS ALWAYS HAD A KNOCK WHEN YOU START IT,WHICH DEVALUES THE TRUCK & IT ALSO HAS ALWAYS USED OIL. THE RACK & PINION HAS STARTED LEAKING. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED A TRUCK & HAVE NEVER HAD A RACK & PINION GO OUT LET ALONE AT 152000 MILES.IT ALSO IS LOSING ANTIFREEZE BUT THERE ARE NO LEAKS. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY,NOW ITS ALSO FLASHES LOW COOLANT LIGHT WHEN ITS NOT LOW. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON LINE CONCERNING THESE SAME ISSUES & LAWSUITS. I DO NOT FEEL THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE HAVING TO FOOT THESE BILLS. I HAVE CALLED GM ABOUT MY CONCERNS & THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET A RECALL FOR ALL THESE PROBLEMS. MY TRUCK IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT HAVE DEX-COOL ANTIFREEZE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WAS ON MAIN ROAD GOING 50MPH AND APPROACHING STREET THAT I LIVE AT, APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, AND PEDAL WHEN TO FLOOR. I THEN STARTED TO DOWNSHIFT INTO LOWER GEARS AND APPLIED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP AND CAUSE WAS METAL BRAKE LINE TO RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS RUSTED OUT. ALSO ALL THE OTHER LINES WERE VERY RUSTY AND SHOULD BE REPLACED.....OTHERWISE OTHERS WILL GO SOON AND IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IT WAS MENTIONED THAT GMC AND CHEVY TRUCKS IN A CERTAIN YEAR RANGE (SUCH AS THIS) HAVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM IS LOCATED NEAR THE FRAME AND THUS ALL LINES ARE EXPOSED TO SALT ETC.......WHERE AS IN A CONVENTIONAL DESIGN THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM IS LOCATED ON THE FIRE WALL AND ONLY ONE LINE (THE LINE THAT GOES TO BACK) IS EXPOSED TO SALT ETC AND IS USUALLY MADE OF RUST PROOF MATERIAL. THE BRAKE LINE THAT IS USED ON THIS TRUCK IS MADE OF CHEAP STEEL WHICH WILL RUST.....NOT RUST PROOF LINES SUCH AS "ARMOR COAT TYPE BRAKE LINES". THIS REPAIR COST ME $700 2ND ITEM: WHILE ON THE SUBJECT OF BRAKE SYSTEM ON THIS TRUCK.....I HAVE FOUND THAT IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS TOO SENSITIVE AND CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THING WORSE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. *TR

AIR BAGS
DEAR NHTSA, I WAS INVOLVED IN A THREE CAR MVA ON 2 FEB ON I-95 SOUTHBOUND NEAR MILE MARKER 131.2. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE SLOW LANE DURING THE EVENING TRAFFIC COMMUTE WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND FROM AN INFINITY SUV WHICH COLLIDED AND IMPACTED WITH THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE AND PUSHED MY VEHICLE GMC 2003 SIERRA EXT CAB INTO A LATE MODEL FORD FUSION. THE IMPACT AND FORCE FROM THE SUV BEHIND ME CAUSED REAR AND FRONTAL DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND IS EST TO COST OVER $8900.00 FOR REPAIRS. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND AFTER SEEING THE PHOTOS OF MY FULL SIZE PICK-UP TRUCK IT SEEMS THAT THEIR MUST HAVE BEEN SOME SORT OF MALFUNCTION THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT. MY WHOLE FRONT BUMPER IS COMPLETELY DAMAGED AND THE FRAME HOLDING THE BUMPER IN PLACE APPEARS TO BE BENT. THE REAR BUMPER TO IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND PRESSED UNDER THE BED OF THE TRUCK AND THEIR IS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE BED ITSELF HAVING BEEN BENT UPWARD AS IF IT LOOKS LIKE AN UPSIDE DOWN LETTER "V" AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED ALSO IS FLARED OUTWARD WHERE IT ABSORBED THE IMPACT. THE BED OF THE TRUCK ALSO IMPACTED INTO THE RIGHTSIDE OF MY CAB AND ALSO LEFT SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. THE IMPACT WAS SO VIOLENT THAT THE INSIDE WIRE CONNECTION TO THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER HAD ACTUALLY SEPARATED FROM THE WINDOW WHERE IT WAS SPOT SOLDERED. I RECEIVED SEVERE WHIP LASH, UPPER AND LOWER MUSCLE STRAIN, 2 BROKEN RIBS AND A SEVERE HEAD INJURY FROM MY HEAD STRIKING THE STEERING WHEEL. HAD THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE HEAD INJURY OR OTHER INJURIES SUSTAINED WOULD HAVE BEEN MITIGATED SUBSTANTIALLY. *TR

LAST REPAIR WAS DONE ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO AND RATTLE STARTED AGAIN TWO WEEKS AFTER LAST REPAIR. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CAN COMPROMISE THE STEERING OR NOT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE ORIGINAL FLEXIBLE BRAKE HOSE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2000 GMC SIERRA VEHICLE FAILED RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF FRONT BRAKES. IT APPEARS THAT THE HOSE IS TOO LONG AND THE HOSE RUBBED ON THE RIM. THE DELCO REPLACEMENT THAT I PURCHASED HAS BEEN TOTALLY REDESIGNED. IT IS MUCH SHORTER AND THE CONNECTION TO THE CALIPER HAS TO BE ANGLED AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE, SO THAT THE WILL BE NO CONTACT WITH THE RIM. AFTER REPLACING THE PASSENGER SIDE, I CHECKED THE DRIVER'S SIDE HOSE AND FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM. THE HOSE SHOWS RUBBING IS OCCURRING. I WILL HAVE TO PUT A REPLACEMENT HOSE ON THAT SIDE ALSO. *LN
