EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS:SWITCH, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:SWITCH
I OWN A 2004 GMC SIERRA PICKUP WITH 6,700 MILES. I AM EXPERIENCEING A IMTERMINTENT PROBLEM WITH THE TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD LIGHTS. WHEN I ACTIVATE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL THE HAZARD LIGHTS BEGIN TO FLASH. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, AFTER WAITING TWO MONTHS FOR THE PROBLEM TO OCCUR AT A TIME I WAS NEAR THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH AND TWO DAYS LATER THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. I CONTINUE TO WORK WITH GMC DIRECTLY AND THE DEALERSHIP TO SEEK RESOLUTION BUT AM BEING TOLD THAT UNLESS THEY CAN SEE THE PROBLEM HAPPENING THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. IF I AM ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THE SIGNALS ARE NOT OPERATING AS THEY SHOULD I COULD END UP IN A COLLISION WITH ON COMING OR APPROACHING FROM THE REAR TRAFFIC. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY AND REPAIRED. PLEASE HELP.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS CONTROL MODULE FAILED. WHILE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING THE ABS MOTOR STILL WAS. NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE $1,100 FAILURE(QUOTED FROM A DEALERSHIP) I LEFT IT ALONE FOR A SHORT TIME WHILE THE 60 AMP SYSTEM SUCKED MY BATTERY DRY IN LESS THAN A HALF HOUR. AFTER READINGS HUNDREDS OF FORUMS AND COMPLAINTS, I BELIEVE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I FOUND THE TSB (#220101 DATED 04/06/01, ANTI LOCK BRAKE MOTOR RUNNING WHILE ENGINE OFF). SO THIS "PROBLEM" HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BUT NOT CORRECTED(IGNORED) IN ALMOST THREE YEARS. A $1,100 PROBLEM! *JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TAILGATE:LATCH
1999 GMC SIERRA 1GTEK19TSXE504480 TAILGATE CABLES BREAKING. REPLACED FIRST CABLE JUST AFTER WARRANTY RAN OUT. I SHOULD HAVE REPLACED BOTH CABLES AT THAT TIME. SOME TIME LATER I REPLACED BOTH CABLES. THESE ONLY LASTED A VERY SHORT TIME. AT THE PRESENT TIME I HAVE ONE CABLE BROKEN AND THE ONE LEFT IS STRECHED TO THE BREAKING POINT. I HAD ONE INCIDENT OF THE TAIL GATE FALLING OFF. I FEEL BUYING MORE CABLES FROM GM IS A WASTE OF MONEY. THE INCIDENT DATE IS A GUESS.*AK
