ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2005 GMC SIERRA PICK UP TRUCK. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WILL NOT GO BACK TO '0' WHEN I AM STOPPED, WHICH CAUSES THE SPEEDOMETER TO READ WRONG MPH WHEN DRIVING. THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING MORE AND MORE SINCE IT FIRST BEGAN. IT STARTED FOR NO APPARENT REASON APPROXIMATELY 6 - 7 MONTHS AGO. DEALER WAS VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT I AM PAST ANY WARRANTIES OUT THERE. APPROXIMATE COST TO ME TO FIX FROM THE DEALER IS $500. I CAN'T AFFORD THIS. HOWEVER, BASED UPON NUMBER OF POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET, IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE A RECALL IS IN ORDER. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2000 GMC SIERRA BRAKE LINE CORROSION ISSUE. RUPTURED STEEL LINE BELOW THE DRIVERS DOOR. 1). AFTER A HARD STOP DUE TO OTHER MOTORIST PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ME THE BRAKES WERE NOT AS FIRM AS BEFORE. 2). THE NEXT MORNING I FOUND AN OIL SPOT ON DRIVEWAY AND BRAKE RESERVOIR HALF EMPTY. INVESTIGATED AND FOUND HEAVILY CORRODED BRAKE LINES IN A GROUP OF FOUR BELOW DRIVERS DOOR AGAINST OUTSIDE OF FRAME. ONE LINE LEAKING FLUID BADLY. 3). I WENT TO GENERAL MOTORS TO PURCHASE NEW BRAKE LINES AND WAS TOLD THAT THE COME IN BULK ROLLS ONLY. THEY HAVE TO BE BENT TO SHAPE AND FLARED TO BE INSTALLED. THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY LABOR INTENSIVE REPAIR AND WOULD BE VERY COSTLY. I AM WEIGHING MY OPTIONS. *TR
