ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
AT APPROXIMATELY 66,000 MILES ON MY 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED READING 70 MPH WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STOPPED, AND ROSE FROM THERE AS IT ACCELERATED. THE CONDITION PERSISTED FOR ABOUT ONE WEEK; EACH TIME THE TRUCK WAS RESTARTED, THE SPEEDOMETER RESET ITSELF TO A LOWER STARTING SPEED, UNTIL IT READ ZERO AGAIN WHEN STOPPED. IT IS BEHAVING NORMALLY NOW, BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND GM HAS NOT PROVIDED OTHER OWNERS ANY RELIEF IF THE VEHICLE IS PAST ITS WARRANTY PERIOD. SOMETHING AS BASIC AND NECESSARY TO DRIVING SAFETY AS SPEEDOMETER FUNCTION SHOULD, IN MY OPINION, BE DESIGNED TO LAST THE VEHICLE'S ENTIRE INTENDED LIFESPAN WITHOUT SYSTEMIC FAILURE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2008 GMC SIERRA DENALI HAS INTERMITTENT FUEL GAUGE OPERATION. AFTER FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE WILL DROP FROM FULL TANK INDICATION TO EMPTY TANK INDICATION EVEN THOUGHT THE TANK IS FUEL OF FUEL. THE DEALER HAS REMOVED THE TANK AND REPLACED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT, BUT HAS NOT RESULTED IN A FIX JUST AN EDUCATED GUESS. ALSO IN THE MORNINGS THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES A VERY LOUD KNOCKING NOISE WHICH WHEN CONFRONTED AT THE DEALER WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL NOISE. OCCURS EVERYDAY IN THE MORNING AND WHEN LEAVING WORK IN THE AFTERNOON. *TR

SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING 35 MILES AN HOUR AND NOTICED A LOUD GRINDING NOISE THEN MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON. MY STEERING WAS MUCH LESS RESPONSIVE. I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND MY TRUCK RAN INTO A FENCE. I HAD TO CHANGE THE WHEEL BEARINGS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
GM MAILED A NOTICE THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IN 2004 SIEERA TRUCKS IS SUBJECT TO FAILURE INCLUDING FUEL GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, ETC. THESE CAN BE VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS DEPENDING ON DRIVING CONDITIONS. GM HAS OFFER TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 70,000 MILES OR 7 YEARS. THIS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON A 2003 GMC SIERRA 1500 PICKUP TRUCK FAILS UNEXPECTEDLY. THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE STEPPER MOTORS AND THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS ABOUT IT. CERTAINLY, ONE HAS TO KNOW THE SPEED THEY ARE TRAVELING,ESPECIALLY IN SCHOOL AND CONSTRUCTION ZONES. MARK THESE WORDS "SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED" THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND YOU AND YET NOTING IS DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IS IT GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A FATALITY BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED. NO WONDER THE CAR COMPANIES ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!!! *TR
