SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER, STEERING
I TOOK MY 1997 GMC SIERRA TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS INVOLVING THIS VEHICLE. BUT THE DEALER SAID ALL THE RECALLS PERTAIN TO THE 1999-2004 MODELS NOT MINE - BUT I AM HAVING THE IDENTICAL PROBLEMS - DRIVE SHAFT, AND BRAKES - MY BRAKES LOCK UP - CREATE LOTS OF NOISE, CALIPHER DAMAGE, ETC. I BELIEVE THAT THE RECALLS FOR THE NEWER VEHICLES SHOULD APPLY TO MINE AS WELL. THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WHEN THE BRAKES DECIDE NOT TO WORK. MY WIFE DRIVES THE TRUCK AND I AM CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
TRUCK WILL NOT START. NOT HEARING THE ELECTIC FUEL PUMP IN GAS TANK. TRUCK TOWED FOR REPAIRS. DURING FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT. NOTICED THE CONNECTOR INSIDE THE GAS TANK ARCED AND BURNED WITH 2 INCHES OF INSULATION BURNED OFF THE WIRES SUPPLYING POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP. 1997 GMC TRUCK. I GUESS THIS CONNECTOR THAT MATES THROUGH THE TANK HAS HAD A HISTORY OF ARCING BURNING HERE. ALSO THE CONNECTOR DEFECT ISNT EASILY NOTICABLE TO THE TECHNICIAN. CAUSING INTERMITTENT FUEL PUMP FAILURE AS IN MY CASE. HAS THERE BEEN ANY HISTORY OF FIRE/EXPOSION WITH THESE CONNECTORS ON GM VEHICLES. THIS I FEEL IS A SERIOUS DEFECT. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN PROBABLY DRIVEN FOR SOME TIME WITH THIS DEFECT AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO MANY TECHNICIANS.. HTTP://WWW.FINDARTICLES.COM/P/ARTICLES/MI_M3102/IS_6_123/AI_N6083406 HERE IS AN ARTICLE EXPLAINING THE DEFECT.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
VEHICLE HAD BRAKE ANTILOCK PROBLEMS WHEN FIRST PURCHASED. LOUD SOUND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP AND PEDAL BECOMES STIFF RESULTING IN SLOW/NO STOPPING. DEALER REPLACED WHEEL SENSOR. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN. SAME NOISE SAME RESULTS. DEALER STATES SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS WOULD SEEM TO BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN A FEW MONTHS (LESS THAN A YEAR!) IT HAS THE STRONG POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS HARM/ACCIDENTS AS THIS HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ON DEC 8, 2003 I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 45 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR AND THEN AFTER A FEW SECOUNDS IT SHIFTED INTO LOW GEAR, ALL ON ITS OWN. THERE WAS A CAR TRAVELING BEHIND THAT ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND. I PULLED OVER AND PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK. I LOOKED UNDER MY TRUCK TO SEE IF ANY THING HAD COME APART. I DID NOT SEE ANY FLUID LEAK OR ANY LOOSE PARTS. I DROVE MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN LOW GEAR. THEY TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR REPAIRS (38,127 MILES). I WAS 2,127 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED AND IT COST $1,057.19. TODAY 3/30/05 ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK THE TRANSMISSION DOES THE SAME THING. I ONLY HAVE LOW GEAR AND NO REVERSE. THIS TIME I WAS LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME WHEN IT HAPPENED. *AK
