SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST
PURCHASED 2005 NEW GMC SIERRA CREW CAB, 349 MILES, ON 19 JULY 2005 FROM RANZ MOTOR CO., INC., CHANUTE, KS, VIN [XXX]. ON 8/21/05 THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, THE FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP, THERE WAS A DISTINCT ODOR EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE, AND SMOKE WAS ROLLING OUT FROM UNDER THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE OF THE TRUCK. RANZ MOTORS REPLACED A BAD BRAKE BOOSTER IN ACCORDANCE WITH BULLETIN EPIT3685 AND CHECKED OPERATION. ON 9/1/05 THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE SAME DEFECT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. THIS TIME CAR WAS TAKEN TO COAST TO A SLOW SPEED BEFORE EXITING THE HIGHWAY BY MY HUSBAND, A 27 YEAR RETIRED POLICE LT, WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE STEERING SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS JERKED FROM BOTH HANDS, THE VEHICLE CROSSED THE CENTER LINE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC NARROWLY AVOIDING A HEAD-ON ACCIDENT. SLOWLY DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO RANZ MOTORS (APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES ROUND TRIP). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AT THAT TIME, BUT THE NEXT DAY A SERVICE TECH DROVE THE VEHICLE ONLY .21 MILES BEFORE THE VEHICLE AGAIN EXHIBITED THE SAME DEFECT. THE TECH PULLED UP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND VIBRATION STOPPED (REF: [XXX]). ANOTHER BOOSTER WAS INSTALLED, VEHICLE WAS ROAD TESTED 295 MILES WITHOUT ANY DUPLICATION OF PREVIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE, IT'S USE IS NOT ONLY AS A FAMILY VEHICLE, BUT IS ALSO USED TO PULL A 4 HORSE TRAILER. NO OLD PARTS WHERE SHOWN TO EITHER MYSELF OR MY HUSBAND EITHER TIME. I'VE DISCUSSED WITH RANZ MOTORS TRADING THE VEHICLE BACK IN ON SOMETHING ELSE AND STEVE RANZ "WASN'T COMFORTABLE SELLING THAT VEHICLE TO SOMEONE ELSE WITH IT'S HISTORY OF PROBLEMS". OTHER DEALERS HAVE DEPRECIATED THE VEHICLE SUBSTANTIALLY BASED ON IT'S REPAIR HISTORY. I PROCEEDED WITH THE GMC BUY BACK PROGRAM WHERE I WAS OFFERED $794.00 AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND TOLD IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN WE WILL CONSIDER BUYING IT BACK. I DON'T LIKE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH MY LIFE OR THAT OF MY FAMILY. *JB UPDATED 07/18/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMAT

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DT: THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE 2004 GMC SIERRA WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE HAD NO STOPPING POWER. THE CONSUMER INFORMED GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM A YEAR AGO AND THEY HAVE WORKED ON THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO FIX THE BRAKES. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. TODAY THE CONSUMER WAS WAITING ON GM TO GET BACK IN CONTACT WITH HIS DEALERSHIP. THE CONSUMER TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK AND THEY STILL HAD NOT HEARD FROM GM. THE HOLD UP ON THE CONSUMER GETTING THE BRAKES FIXED WAS GM DOING THE WORK UNDER WARRANTY. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR IN THE BRAKING POWER.*AK *MR THE CONSUMER STATED GM DID CONTACTED HIM AND THEY DECIDED THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING MORE TO FIX THE BRAKE PROBLEM. *JB

POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
I OWN A 2001 GMC SIERRA. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I PUT MY TRUCK IN 4 LOW ON MY 4X4 (MANUAL SHIFT),AND I PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE, YOU CAN FEEL THE TORQUE. WHEN I GO AND PUT THE TRUCK INTO PARK IT STARTS TO GRIND WHILE ENGAGING IN THE PARK POSITION. I BROUGHT IT TO A GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE TRANSFER CASE TO DO THIS. IF YOU ASK ME, IF THERE IS GRINDING NOISES ON MOVING PARTS, SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT OR "NORMAL". *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATES THAT HE WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS ACTIVATING AT LOW SPEEDS OF 6 MPH AND BELOW. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BRAKING. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH HIS DEALER, AND THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT WAS UPSET BECAUSE HIS STATE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA RECALL 05V379000 AND GM RECALL 05068. THE VEHICLE IS A 2000 GMC ,SIERRA. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS. THE CONTACT HAS NOT HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT HAS CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THE REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. *AK UPDATED 11/29/2005 - THE CONSUMER HAD TO REMOVE THE ABS FUSE SO HE COULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

THE NOISE STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 4000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO PROGRESSIVELY GET LOUDER AS THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BE DRIVEN.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY 2002 GMC SIERRA 4WD P/U WITH 28,570 MILES HAD "ABS BRAKE" FAILURE. I CAME CLOSE TO GOING THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR BECAUSE OF THIS AND AM GLAD IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION!! THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER IT ONLY APPLIES TO THE "SALT BELT" STATES AND WISCONSIN IS NOT INCLUDED!! UNBELIEVABLE!! THE DEALERSHIP (VON HOLZEN) IN ASHLAND WI. REPLACED ABS SENSORS P/N 15112379 ($225) ALSO THEY HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD NOT BE REFACED AS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN BELOW SPECS. THE WHOLE BILL CAME TO $513.61!! I CAN'T BELIEVE GMC DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL FOR ALL STATES ON THE ABS PROBLEM BEFORE THERE ARE ABS CAUSED FATALITIES!! VON HOLZEN DEALERSHIP PHONE # 8003415440 HAS THE OLD PART. *NM

AIR BAGS
DT: THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THEIR 1999 GMC C2500 LIGHT DUTY PICK UP WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. UPON FURTHER REVIEW BY GM THE VEHICLE WAS DISCOVERED TO NOT HAVE ANY AIR BAGS IN IT. THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND THE OWNERS WERE UNDER THE PRETENSE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH AIR BAGS. THE SPEED OF THE CRASH WAS AROUND 55 MPH. THE OWNER OF THE TRUCK HIT A TREE HEAD ON. THE DRIVER OF THE TRUCK DOES NOT REMEMBER WHAT CAUSED THE WRECK. THE DRIVER SUFFERED LIFE THREATENING INJURIES. HE HAD A BROKEN NECK, BROKEN LEFT SHOULDER AND A BROKEN HUMERUS IN HIS LEFT ARM ALONG WITH SEVERE HEAD TRAUMA. THE DRIVER DID HAVE ON HIS SEAT BELT AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. THE POLICE REPORT DID NOT DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. THERE ARE LOTS OF PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS ALSO AN INSURANCE REPORT THAT COULD BE AVAILABLE. THE INSURANCE AGENT ALSO THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS AN AIR BAG IN THE TRUCK. GM SENT A REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE TRUCK. THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM GM SPENT AN HOUR LOOKING FOR THE AIR BAG AND COULD NOT FIND IT. THE TRUCK WAS PICKED UP OFF THE GROUND ON A FORK LIFT AND THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS LOOKING FOR THE AIR BAG CENSORS AND STILL COULD NOT FIND ANY. GM WAS ALSO UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE WERE AIR BAGS IN THE TRUCK. THE OWNERS HAVE A LETTER FROM GM STATING THAT THEY RETRIEVED DATA, PHOTOGRAPHS AND MEASUREMENTS FROM THE VEHICLE. AND THEY WERE GOING TO GET INFORMATION FROM THE DIAGNOSTIC AND SENSING MODULE. THE TRUCK WAS TOTALED. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT A VEHICLE WEIGHING MORE THAN 8500 POUNDS DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE AIR BAGS, THE TRUCK MISSED THE WEIGHT LIMIT BY 100 POUNDS. *JB

SHE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD HER THAT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL ISSUE. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE BUTTERFLY INTAKE.
