ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2001 GMC SIERRA HAS A TENDENCY TO USE OIL. IT HAPPENS AFTER ABOUT 3000 KMS AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. I BROUGHT IT UP TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO TRY A DIFFERENT BRAND OF OIL. I ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT MY TRUCK ROLLS AHEAD WHEN I START IT IN COLD WEATHER. THEY SAID THAT THIS IS NORMAL. THAT IS THEIR ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING!!! AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, WHEN A VEHICLE IS IN PARK IT SHOULD NOT MOVE WHEN YOU START IT!!!! *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
LOW SPEED ABS ACTIVATION, THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGES AT LOW SPEED AND THE TRUCK WILL NOT STOP WHEN IT IS SUPPOSE TO. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCOSIANS AND HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS FOR ACCIDENTS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE BRAKES WILL NOT STOP THE TRUCK LIKE THEY SHOULD BECAUSE ABS ENGAGES. THERE IS ABSOLUTLY NO REASON FOR THE ABS TO BE ENGAGING. HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE ON GM TRUCKS.*AK

PARKING BRAKE
I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO MY DEALER BECAUSE THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT HOLD. I HAD 30,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND HAD OWNED IT FOR 25 MONTHS. THE DEALER GAVE ME A RECEIPT SHOWING THEY HAD ADJUSTED THE BRAKE AND REPLACED THE CALIPERS & ROTORS. 12 MONTHS LATER I TESTED THE PARKING BRAKE AND IT WOULD NOT HOLD. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY MADE A MISTAKE ON MY RECEIPT - THEY NEVER REPLACED ANY PARTS, THEY ONLY CLEANED THE PARKING BRAKE. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IN PLACE (02-05-26-001) WHEN I ORIGINALLY BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT REPAIR MY TRUCK ACCORDING TO THE TSB. THERE IS ALSO AN OPEN NHTSA INVESTIGATION (EA04011) ON THIS MATTER. I THINK THE DEALER SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AT THEIR COST. *AK

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
TOOK THE TRUCK INTO A LOCAL GOODYEAR STORE TO HAVE A WHINING NOISE DIAGNOSED. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT HEAR THE NOISE AND TURNED THE WHEEL IN ONE DIRECTION. WHEN HE TRIED TO TURN IT BACK, IT WOULD NOT TURN. HE PROCEEDED TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND ADVISED US THAT THE SHAFT ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAD JUST SNAPPED OR BROKEN. THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED, AND WE RETAINED THE OLD POWER STEERING PUMP. I HAD HEARD ABOUT A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE AND CALLED A GM DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE INTO THE RECALL. I WAS ADVISED THAT GM HAD ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OF OUR TRUCK FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM WE HAD EXPERIENCED, BUT THAT OUR PARTICULAR TRUCK (WHEN IT WAS LOOKED UP BY VIN NUMBER) WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL TRUCKS.*AK

WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS COMING TO A STOP OR TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE ABS FAILED TO OPERATE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. FIRST TIME, THE MECHANIC CLEANED THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND RESURFACED BOTH REAR ROTORS. THE SECOND TIME THE MECHANIC REMOVED AND CLEANS THE ABS SENSORS. ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE PROBLEM RECURRED.

THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT LATCH WHICH CONNECTS THE SHOULDER HARNESS TO THE CAR BROKE OFF.

TRUCK WILL RUN FINE UNTIL WARM. PULLING INTO STOP SIGN, GARAGE, TRAFFIC LIGHT,PARKING LOT ETC. TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF. ALTERNATOR GAUGE PULLS DOWN BELOW 9 VOLTS. NEW ALT. BELT, NEW ALTERNATOR, NEW FUEL FILTER WERE REPLACED. SEVERAL BOTTLES OF INJECTOR CLEANER WERE USED OVER A SIX MONTH PERIOD. NOTHING HELPED SO FAR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS. THE LAST ONE WAS ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY WHEN I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND THE ENGINE STOPED AND I ENDED UP OUT INTO THE SOUTH OBUND LANES OF TRAFFIC. LUCKILY NOTHING WAS COMING.*AK
