SERVICE BRAKES
2007 GMC SIERRA CLASSIC WITH APPROXIMATELY 54,000 MILES WAS BEING DRIVEN INTO A GARAGE TO HAVE WHEELS BALANCED. AS THE TECHNICIAN APPLIED THE BRAKES ENTERING THE GARAGE, THE BRAKE LINES ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE RUPTURED AND THE BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR. BRAKE FLUID POURED OUT ONTO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES BECAME COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED A FEW HOURS EARLIER IN THE DAY AS I WAS TRAVELING ON STEEP MOUNTAIN HIGHWAYS IN WEST VIRGINIA I HAVE NO DOUBT AN ACCIDENT AND PROBABLE FATALITY WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. ALL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN PERFORMED AT THE GM DEALER WHERE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED AND NO WARNINGS FROM GM WERE GIVEN THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE SHOWING ANY SIGNS OF WEAR OR THAT A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WILL HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY, AS DESCRIBED BY OTHER GMC OWNERS. SEE SIMILAR ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS AT THIS ADDRESS: HTTP://WWW.GM-TRUCKS.COM/FORUMS/TOPIC/129454-MY-FIX-ON-MY-SILVERADO-ELECTRICAL-PROBLEM/?HL=STALLING SEE ALSO: NHTSA REFERENCE #10036550 TSB REFERENCE #PIT-4730A VEHICLE IS UNMODIFIED. THE ISSUE IS WITH THE BATTERY CABLES AND ATTACHMENT TO THE FRAME AND FUSE PANELS. AFFECTS A WIDE VARIETY OF GM AND CHEVY MODELS, AND SHOULD DEFINITELY HAVE A RECALL, AS THIS CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHAT HAPPENS IS : 1. TRUCK WILL BE RUNNING FINE, AS IT SHOULD. INTERMITTENTLY, WITHOUT WARNING WILL START HAVING DOOR LOCKS GO UP AND DOWN, ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, GAUGE CLUSTER RESETTING AND COMPLETE POWER LOSS TO THE ENGINE AND COMPONENTS (POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC.) 2. UPON SHUTTING OFF ENGINE EXPERIENCING FULL POWER LOSS. CANNOT CRANK ENGINE UNTIL POWER HAS BEEN RESTORED BY POPPING HOOD AND WIGGLING BATTERY TERMINAL CABLES. THE REASON WHY THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD HAVE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL, IS FIRST, WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS TRAVELING AT 80MPH. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO GUIDE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO USE BLINKER, POWER STEERING, OR POWER BRAKES. I HAVE COMMUNICATION WITH OTHER GM OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR RANGE, BUT AFFECTING MULTIPLE GM AND CHEVY MODELS. (ONE IS 2009 YUKON, DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUES.) I KNOW THAT THIS COMPLAINT HAS BEEN ISSUED BY OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. IT IS TIME FOR ACTION. *TR

AIR BAGS
A DRIVER TURNED LEFT INTO ME AS I WAS GOING THROUGH A GREEN LIGHTED INTERSECTION. HE THOUGHT HE COULD MAKE IT. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN MY VEHICLE, SO I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THAT THE DRIVERS AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE IMPACT TOTALED MY TRUCK. THE CONTACT WAS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, SO MAYBE THAT IS WHY. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD REPORT THIS IN CASE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH GM AIR BAGS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
IN MODERATE TRAFFIC, I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON GERMANTOWN PKWY. AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, THE LIGHT CHANGED TO RED AND I STOPPED THE VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS AT A DEAD STOP , I NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPING FROM 0 TO 10 AND THEN HIGHER.WITH NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER FROM INSTRUMENTATION, THE ENGINE STALLED. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR SIGNALS AT ALL. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER PLACING THE SHIFT LEVER IN PARK AND TURNING THE KEY. I THEN CONTACTED ON STAR, AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT AND ASKED FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY REPORTED "AN IGNITION PROBLEM" AND SAID I SHOULD SCHEDULE AN APPT WITH A DEALER. *TR

07 GMC SIERRA(NEW BODY STYLE) WAS PARKED. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS PLACED IN REVERSE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY TURNED THERE WAS A LOUD POP UNDERNEATH THE FRONT END.

THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INNER TIE ROD BECAME UNSCREWED FROM THE RACK STEERING. NEW INNER AND OUTER TIE RODS WERE INSTALLED AND THE TRUCK WAS RE-ALIGNED. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE IT MAY HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 GMC SIEARRA CLASSIC 2500HD WT AND MY BRAKE LINE FAILED. I WENT THREW THE STOP SIGN OUT ONTO A MAIN ROAD AND JUST MISSED GETTING T-BONED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. MY BRAKES ARE ALL UP TO DATE. BRAND NEW BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. I READ TONS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES BRAKE LINES RUSTING OUT PREMATURELY. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 32,164 MILES ON IT AND IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I GET COMPLIMENTS ON MY TRUCK EVERYWHERE I GO. I GOT NOWHERE WITH GM CORPORATE OR MARTY'S GMC IN KINGSTON,MA WHERE I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW. THEY ALL PRETENDED THEY DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THESE BRAKE LINES FAILING. THEY NOW USE A DIFFERENT COATED BRAKE LINE TO REPLACE THE CHEAPLY MADE BRAKE LINES AT THE CUSTOMERS EXPENSE. PLEASE MAKE GM DO A SAFETY RECALL ON THESE FAILING RUSTING BRAKE LINES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I WAS ALMOST NOT HERE TO TELL MY STORY.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON APRIL 13 2014 MY TRUCK WAS LEAKING FUEL TOO BAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND COULD NEVER FIND WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM. THEN ON APRIL 13TH WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME I SMELLED GAS AND HAD TO PULL OVER, FRIGHTENED THAT THE TRUCK MIGHT CATCH FIRE AND EXPLODE. IT SEEMS THERE IS A LEAK AROUND THE FUEL TANK. I NOTIFIED GM AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD ONLY PAY FOR A PORTION OF THE REPAIR. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT STARTED ABOUT THE SAME TIME I STARTED SMELLING GAS WAS THAT THE KEY STARTED GETTING STUCK IN THE START POSITIOIN CONTINUALLY TURNING OVER THE STARTER. I THEN HAVE TO STRUGGLE FORCEFULLY TO GET THE KEY TO TURN TO THE OFF POSITION, FEARFUL OF CAUSING MORE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE OR POSSIBLY CATCHING FIRE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE TRUCKS DON'T HAVE A RECALL ON THEM!! *JS
