SERVICE BRAKES
SLOWING FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT GOING DOWNHILL AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. PUMPING DID LITTLE SO USED PARKING BRAKE TO STOP. CLOUD OF WHITE SMOKE OUT OF TAIL PIPE AS ENGINE SHUTTERED AND VALVES CHATTERED. FRONT DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LINE FAILED FROM EXTERNAL CORROSION SHOOTING FLUID ON HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD. WHEN PEDDLE WENT TO FLOOR MASTER CYLINDER PASSED FLUID INTO BOOSTER AND THROUGH VACUUM LINE INTO INTAKE OF ENGINE CAUSING WHITE CLOUD OF BRAKE FLUID BURNING WITH GAS INTERNALLY ALMOST SHUTTING MOTOR DOWN AND LOSS OF ALL POWER. REPLACED CORRODED BRAKE LINES AND MASTER CYLINDER. NEGLIGENT DESIGN AND MATERIALS QUALITY IN MY OPINION. NOW BOTH FRONT CALIPERS DRAG AND SHAKE STEERING WHEEL. WHERE IS SAFETY RECALL? BRAKE LINES ARE NOT A MAINTENANCE ITEM! TRY REPLACING ONE AS THEY WERE INSTALLED TO NEVER COME OFF. WOULD TOYOTA HAVE BEEN GIVEN A PASS ON THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MANY YEARS OF COMPLAINTS, THOUSANDS OF FAILURES, INJURIES AND DEATHS? *TR

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL ON MY 2005 GMC SIERRA PICK UP CONSTANTLY READS THE WRONG SPEED. AT TIMES IT REGISTERS 0 MPH WHEN IM ACTUALLY DRIVING OR IT READS 120MPH WHEN STOPPED. ALSO THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE IS PEGGED OUT. THERE SAMES TO BE ALOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING ON THE YEAR AND MODEL, YOU NEED TO MAKE GM DO A RECALL ON THIS. *TR

I WENT OUT TO MOVE THE TRUCK AND NOTICED THERE WAS FLUID ON THE DRIVEWAY. I EXAMINED THE REAR DRIVER SIDE AND THERE WAS A BRAKE LINE THAT HAD RUSTED THROUGH. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE WITH THOSE TRUCKS. I HAD RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS TO GM ABOUT THIS ISSUE. FORTUNATELY, THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND DID NOT FAIL WHILE DRIVING MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. WHAT I HAVE READ IS THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE MANUFACTURED WITH POOR QUALITY MATERIALS AND THAT THEY FAIL. THE ARTICLE REFERENCED IS: HTTP://MOBILE.NYTIMES.COM/2014/07/08/AUTOMOBILES/GM-RESISTS-RECALLING-TRUCKS-OVER-BRAKE-LINE-PROBLEM.HTML?REFERRER=&_R=1. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING AROUND 78,000 MILES. SLOWLY BUT SURELY ALL MY OTHER GAUGES HAVE QUIT WORKING OVER TIME. THE RPM GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, OIL TEMP, AND GAS GAUGE. ONLY ONE WORKS NOW. THE REST EITHER DON'T WORK OR FLUCTUATE BACK AND FORTH. I WOULD HAVE REPORTED THIS EARLIER IF I KNEW ABOUT THIS SITE. IT'S NOT THE FIRST COMPLAINT SO THERE IS SOMETHING UP WITH THESE MODELS. THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY THE DEALERS. I WON'T EVER BUY ANOTHER GMC VEHICLE. THAT'S FOR SURE. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I BOUGHT MY GMC SIERRA 2500 IN JUNE OF 2005. SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK I STARTED TO NOTICE RUST ON THE TRAILER HITCH AND FRAME RAILS. AS THE YEARS HAVE GONE BY, THE ENTIRE UNDERCARRIAGE IS RUSTED OVER. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS A BRAKE LINE RUSTED THROUGH AND THE BRAKE PADS & ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS LUCKY TO BE PICKING MY TRUCK UP FROM THE SHOP AFTER AN OIL CHANGE & NOT DRIVING IT, WHEN I NOTICED BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND UNDER MY TRUCK.MY SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY & THE DASHBOARD LIGHTING WORKS OCCASIONALLY. MY TRAILER HITCH RUSTED SO BAD THAT THE LAST TIME I PUT THE RECEIVER INTO THE HITCH IT WAS STUCK & I HAD TO GET A FRIEND TO CONNECT A CHAIN TO HIS TRUCK & WHILE I DROVE FORWARD & HE REVERSED, THE RECEIVER FINALLY BROKE FREE AFTER APPROX. 10 MINUTES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I DROVE INTO LUMBER YARD HIT THE BRAKES AND THEY WERE GONE. AS MY SPEED WAS LOW DUE TO PARKING LOT, I WAS ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT INCIDENT. BRAKE LINES WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND ALL THE BRAKE FLUID DRAINED INTO PARKING LOT. I HAD THE BRAKE LINES REPAIRED AT CONSIDERABLE COST AS THEY WERE ALL RUSTED. THEY NEEDED TO BE CUSTOM BENT BY THE SHOP. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT OR KILLED. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I HAD RUST IN ALL LINES AND THE GROUPING OF LINES OVER THE DRIVERS SIDE FRAME RAIL NEXT TO FRONT TIRE WAS THE CULPRIT AREA WITH ALL LINES RUSTED THRU. I HAD NO STOPPING POWER. I HAD TO USE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP. *JS

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
WITHIN 4 MONTHS OF PURCHASE, WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 25 MPH WHEN TRANSFER CASE SHIFTED INTO 4 HIGH ON IT'S OWN. SHUT OFF VEHICLE, RESTART AND ABLE TO PUT BACK INTO 2 WHEEL DRIVE. HAPPENED ON AND OFF FOR A LITTLE MORE THAN A MONTH WHEN IT WENT TO 4 LO WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH THROUGH TOWN. UNABLE TO RESET. LIMPED IT THE 2 MILES TO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. COST ME $1200 TO HAVE THE TRANSFER CASE REBUILT. SMOKED THE CLUTCH PACK, BURNED OUT 2 BUSHINGS AND BENT SHIFT SHAFT. HAD SECOND ISSUE OF SHIFTING ON IT'S OWN, MAY 15TH, 2014. THIS TIME IT COST ME $500 FOR THE SHIFT MOTOR TO BE REPLACED. SECOND PROBLEM, SPEEDOMETER READING INCORRECTLY OR NOT AT ALL. BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS SPORADICALLY (APPARENTLY THE LITTLE DRIVE "MOTOR" ON THE BACK OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, $300 REPLACEMENT OR, FOUND A COMPANY TO REBUILD WITH NEW "MOTORS" FOR UNDER $200). PASSLOCK ISSUES STARTED IN JAN 2014, HAS LEFT ME STRANDED A COUPLE TIMES NOW. CAN'T GET A GOOD ANSWER FROM DEALER AS TO HOW TO REPAIR OTHER THAN "BRING IT IN AND WE'LL HOOK IT TO OUR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM" (I.E. PAY US LOTS OF MONEY). ALSO HAVING ISSUE WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY. INTERMITTENT ENGINE MISS ON MULTIPLE CYLINDERS. ROUGH IDLE, CRAPPY MILEAGE, BUT NOT DOWN ON POWER. MISS SEAMS TO GO AWAY OFF IDLE AND NOT NOTICEABLE UNDER LOAD. NEW PLUGS, WIRES, ETC, ETC, ETC.... HAVEN'T FIGURED THIS ONE OUT YET. SAME ANSWER FROM DEALER (PAY US MORE MONEY PLEASE). LASTLY, AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN DEC OF 2012. NEVER CRASHED OR BUMPED BUT HAD TO REPLACE LEFT FRONT AIR BAG SENSOR. LOVE THE TRUCK, CURRENTLY HAS 154000 MILES BUT I'M GETTING FRUSTRATED WITH ALL THE LITTLE ELECTRICAL "GLITCHES" AND THE DEALER WON'T HELP A BIT WITHOUT THE NORMAL ANSWER, "BRING IT IN AND WE'LL HOOK IT TO OUR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM". IT'S DANG NEAR $200 (DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE) JUST TO GET MY TRUCK IN AND OUT WITHOUT EVEN GETTING ANYTHING REPAIRED! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO FITZGERALD AUTO MALL, WITH WHOM I'VE HAD A GREAT RELATIONSHIP, FOR SOME POWER STEERING ISSUES. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM PIPING ITSELF WAS RUSTING AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $1600.00. I RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH GM TRUCKS AND THERE HASN'T BEEN ANYTHING DONE ABOUT IT. GM HAS REDUCED THE COST OF THE REPAIR "KIT" TO $500, BUT WHO IS GOING TO INSTALL IT? I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES AND LIVED IN MANY STATES WHERE SALT IS USED ON THE ROAD. I'VE NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE THAT HAD SO MUCH DAMAGE BECAUSE OF IT, ESPECIALLY A CRITICAL SYSTEM LIKE BRAKES. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL YEARS AGO. I DON'T THINK THE OWNERS OF THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO FIX AN ENGINEERING MISTAKE. GM SHOULD BE LIABLE AND FIX IT FOR FREE. THANK YOU. *TR

ONLY INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER FAILURE, AND STEERING CLICK KNOCK THAT WAS FIXED BY DEALER. RESEARCH PROBLEM ON INTERNET, IT APPEARS THIS IS A THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR FAILURE THAT GMC HAS IDENTIFIED AS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND MADE A SPECIAL EXTENDED COVERAGE FOR 2008 TO CURRENT YEAR VEHICLES OR TEN YEARS OR 120000 MILES. FROMRESEARCH ON COMPUTER, IT APPEARS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COMMENTS REGARDING THIS LOSS OF POWER AND ENGINE STOP. I AM OLDER MAN AND REACTED WITH CAUTION AND WAS NEAR MY HOME. HAD I BEEN ON A BUSY STREET OR HIGHWAY A CRASH OR INJURY WOULD MOST CERTAINLY OCCURRED WITH THIS DISABLED VEHICLE THE CAUSE. I HAD NEVER IMAGINED THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO ME NOR HAD I HEARD OF IT FROM ANY MEDIA SOURCE OR DEALER MEMOS. I AM HESITANT TO DRIVE ANY DISTANCE OR ON CERTAIN HIGH TRAFFIC ROADS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM RECURRING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS, SERVICE BRAKES
2005 GMC SIERRA Z71. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THIS VEHICLE HAS 18K MILES, YES 18 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES. THIS TRUCK DOES NOT GET BEAT ON AT ALL, NO OFF ROAD ETC, AND IT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF SINCE NEW. THERE IS A RUST ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS. ON 5-19-2014, ON MY WAY TO THE CAR WASH MY BRAKES STARTED TO FEEL VERY SOFT AND THE TRUCK WAS NOT STOPPING. I CHANGED ROUTES TO MY MECHANICS SHOP, AND WHILE EN ROUTE LOST THE REAR BRAKES. I THANKFULLY ARRIVED (DRIVING VERY SLOWLY) TO THE FRONT OF HIS SHOP. I GOT OUT AND SAW A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID LEAKING OUT OF THE REAR END BRAKE LINES REAR LINES WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED. HE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, AND AS IF THIS WASN'T ENOUGH, INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION LINES WERE ALSO LEAKING (RUSTED). MECHANIC ADDED THAT I SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR THE FUEL LINES TO RUST THROUGH NEXT. THIS LINE REPLACEMENT JOB WILL COST ME ABOUT 2K. NOT TO MENTION THE ISSUE WITH THE LOWER ROCKERS AND CAB CORNERS RUSTING. THAT ESTIMATED IS FOR ANOTHER 2K. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK TO LAST ME, AND APPARENTLY GM DOES NOT BUILD A QUALITY PRODUCT ANYMORE. THERE A NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. VERY UNHAPPY! *TR

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 85 TIRE BLEW DUE TO HIGHWAY ROAD AND FAULTY WHEEL HUB, STEERING CAPABILITY , SUSPENSION ON THE TRUCK. IT SPILT THE BUMPER AND SHATTERED MIRROR AND HIT MY ARM. I ALMOST LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF THE TRUCK IT DID A LOT OF DAMAGE. THE FRONT ENDS ON THESE TRUCKS HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT A HEADACHE TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. THEY DON'T LAST DUE TO CHEAP PARTS I ASSUME. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY GETTING READY TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE INSTEAD OF CONTINUING THE TURN I PULLED ONTO THE CENTER MEDIAN SO I WOULD NOT HIT THE ON COMING TRAFFIC. I RUPTURED A BRAKE LINE AND HAD TO HAVE MY TRUCK TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP.AFTER READING ON LINE I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE SIERRA AND SILVERADO. I ALSO HAVE READ THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE THEY FEEL IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. WE'LL IF I HAD NOT PULLED THE WHEEL BACK TO THE RIGHT AND WENT INTO THE MEDIAN I WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON CRASH,I WOULD CALL THAT A SAFETY ISSUE.
