POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
I OWN A 2002 GMC SIERRA 4 X 4 CREW CAB DURAMAX DIESEL PICK-UP TRUCK. FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS I'VE HAD A CONDITION THAT FELT LIKE A TIRE WAS OUT OF BALANCE. THIS WAS JUST AFTER I REPLACED ALL TIRES. THIS YEAR I REPLACED ALL THE TIRES AGAIN AND THE CONDITION STILL EXISTS. WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF ELIMINATION, CHANGING A WHEEL THAT WAS A LITTLE OUT OF ROUND, RE-BALANCING AND ROTATING THE NEW TIRES 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND COULDN'T ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM. I THEN PUT THE VEHICLE UP ON A HOIST AND PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN GEAR TO CHECK FOR DRIVE LINE VIBRATIONS AND FOUND THAT THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT WAS BENT. AFTER TAKING THE TRUCK BACK TO MY DEALERSHIP AND CONFIRMING THE PROBLEM WITH THEM, A SEARCH WAS RUN OF ALL THE SALVAGE FACILITIES FOR A USED SHAFT AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE NONE AVAILABLE. FURTHERMORE, EVERY SALVAGE YARD THAT WAS CONTACTED CLAIMED THAT THIS DRIVE SHAFT, GM PART #15109384 WAS IN HIGH DEMAND AND AS SOON AS ONE CAME IN ON A WRECK, IT WAS IMMEDIATELY SOLD. THIS SHAFT IS INSTALLED ON 2000 TO 2007 MODELS. MY DEALERSHIP ALSO ADMITTED THAT MINE WAS NOT THE FIRST BENT DRIVE SHAFT THAT HAS COME INTO THEIR FACILITY. TO PURCHASE A NEW SHAFT IS ALMOST $900. A USED ONE IS MUCH LESS, IF YOU CAN FIND ONE. I WORKED WITH GM TRUCK IN QUALITY CONTROL FOR 31 YEARS AND IT IS MY EXPERIENCE THAT WHEN A USED PART CAN NOT BE PURCHASED THROUGH A SALVAGE YARD DUE TO HIGH REPLACEMENT DEMAND, THERE IS USUALLY A COVER UP GOING ON. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. BY THE WAY, MY SHAFT HAD NO VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE ANYPLACE. I BELIEVE THAT THE SHAFT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE TORQUE OF THE ENGINE AND WILL, IN TIME, BEND. MY TRUCK HAS 99,000 MILES ON IT NOW, BUT THE PROBLEM STARTED SOMETIME AROUND 60,000. *NM

TIRES:SIDEWALL
THERE WAS NO EVENT THAT WAS NOTED THAT WOULD CAUSE THE SEPARATION OF THE TIRE TREAD FROM THE SIDEWALL. A MAJOR LEAK WAS NOTED. THE SPLIT WAS LOCATED AT THE POINT OF SIDEWALL TO TREAD JOINT. THE TIRE HAS >9/32 OF TREAD LEFT ON THE TIRE. I AM AT A LOSS TO REPLACE THE TIRE. NO TRAUMA WAS INFLICTED ON THE TIRE. *NM

SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB
I HAVE A 2002 GMC SIERRA 1500 EXTENDED CAB PICKUP WITH 52000 MILES ON IT. THE FRONT HUB BEARINGS ARE ALREADY REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. ON CONSULTING WITH THE LOCAL GARAGE, I DISCOVERED THIS WAS NOT AN ANOMALY, BUT , RATHER, A COMMON OCCURRENCE. MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE OVER THE YEARS WITH GM PRODUCTS IS THAT FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS COULD BE PACKED OR REPLACED AT REASONABLE COST, AND THE PARTS PROVIDED AUDIBLE NOTICE OF FAILURE. THE CURRENT DESIGN DOES NOT PROVIDE THIS SAFETY FEATURE. THE ENTIRE HUB MUST BE REPLACED WHEN IT FAILS. AT A COST JUST QUOTED OF JUST BELOW $450 PER WHEEL. THE UNFORTUNATE FACT IS THAT IT IS UNKNOWN HOW MANY OWNERS OF GM PRODUCTS FROM 1998 ONWARD ARE DRIVING WITH WHEEL HUBS THAT ARE SO WORN THAT A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE COULD CAUSE LOSS OF A WHEEL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.. UNTIL THE RESOLUTION OF THIS DESIGN SHORTFALL, HIGHWAY DRIVING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN I PULLED INTO A LEFT TURN LANE AND TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT NEARLY TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES LUCKILY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD OR IN THE INTERSECTION AT THE TIME SO I WENT ON THROUGH AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, I WAS CAMPING AT THE TIME AND I GOT THE TRUCK BACK TO THE CAMPGROUND WHEN I BACKED THE TRUCK INTO THE CAMPSITE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES THEY STARTED WORKING NORMALLY, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG THEY EVEN SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES DO THE SAME THING AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM AND THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE. *NM

STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
2002 GMC SIERRA THE GALVANIZED STEEL SUPPORT CABLES THAT RETAIN THE TAILGATE IN THE OPEN POSITION CORRODE THROUGH AND BREAK WHERE CARGO OR PEOPLE ON THE TAILGATE MAY FALL. CARGO FALLING OF THE TAILGATE VERY NEARLY STRUCK A NEARBY PERSON AND INJURY WAS LUCKILY AVOIDED. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE ON THE VEHICLE, THE FIRST TIME GMC REPLACED THE CABLES UNDER WARRANTY AND SUGGESTED THAT THIS WAS A RANDOM FAILURE. MOST RECENTLY THEY HAVE REFUSED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. GMC WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS AND REFUSED TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION.

PARKING BRAKE
THIS COMPLAINT IS REGARDING NHTSA ID # 05V161000 AND GM RECALL # 05042. THE ABOVE IS FOR A DEFECT IN THE PARKING BRAKE WHICH CAUSES PREMATURE WEAR. THE RECALL ONLY APPLIES TO MANUAL SHIFT TRANSMISSIONS. I HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT HAVE AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE THIS RECALL SHOULD ALSO APPLY TO MY VEHICLE SINCE A PARKING BRAKE IS ALSO INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE AND IT IS ALSO DEFECTIVE. IF A PARKING BRAKE IS NOT NEEDED ON MY VEHICLE FOR SAFETY THAN WHY IS ONE INSTALLED? *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ENTERING A DRIVEWAY AT 3 MPH, THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE FROM HITTING A LIGHT POLE. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER REPAIRS INDICATED IN RECALL # 05V379000 REGARDING SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK WERE PERFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE ABSENCE OF BRAKING ACTION AT LOW SPEED HAPPENED DUE TO MALFUNCTIONING OF THE SPEED SENSORS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THE OUTCOME WAS A REFERRAL TO CUSTOMER SERVICE WHERE A REPRESENTATIVE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CALLED BACK IN 48 HOURS HOWEVER NO RETURN CALL WAS RECEIVED. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED DISSATISFACTION WITH THE RECALL PERFORMED IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED IN THE JOB ORDER INSPECTION OR REPLACEMENT OF THE AFFECTED SENSORS BUT NO REPLACEMENT WERE PERFORMED. *AK

TRAILER HITCHES
I WAS TOWING MY 33 FT 2000 THOR TRAVEL TRAILER, USING MY 2002 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD CREW CAB DIESEL TRUCK. AS I PULLED INTO MY STORAGE LOT THE TRAILER HITCH RECEIVER THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WELDED TO A FACTORY INSTALLED LOAD LEVELER TRAILER HITCH COMPLETELY BROKE OFF. THE SAFETY CHAINS AND THE SAFETY BRAKE PULL WIRE WERE ALL ATTACHED TO THE HITCH RECEIVER. SUBSEQUENTLY THE TRAILER SEPARATED FROM THE TRUCK WITH NO SAFETY EQUIPMENT ATTACHED. THE TRAILER CRASHED TO THE GROUND DAMAGING THE FRONT TOWING PART OF THE TRAILER, SLIDE OUT HYDRAULICS AND AIR CONDITIONER SO FAR. I TOOK THE GMC TRUCK AND THE BROKEN HITCH TO RYDEL GMC IN VAN NUYS, CALIFORNIA. THEY SAID THAT IT LOOKED LIKE THE WELD HAD NEVER TAKEN BECAUSE THERE WAS PAINT BETWEEN THE WELD AND THE TRUCK BODY. RYDEL SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT THE FACTORY REP TO GET AN OK TO FIX THE HITCH. THE FACTORY REP TOLD THEM THAT MY ''GOOD WILL TIME'' WAS USED, WHATEVER THAT MEANS, AND THAT I HAD TOO MANY MILES ON THE TRUCK (67,000), AS IF MILEAGE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. I ASKED IF THEIR TOWING HITCHES HAD A LIMITED MILEAGE WARRANTY, I GOT NO ANSWER. I TOOK THE PART OF THE HITCH THAT BROKE OFF AND THE TRUCK TO A CERTIFIED WELD SHOP FOR A SECOND OPINION ON THE QUALITY OF THE WELD. I WAS TOLD THAT MOST OF THE WELD HAD NEVER ADHERED TO THE METAL AND THE PART OF THE WELD THAT BROKE NEVER BONDED TO THE STEEL. THE CERTIFIED HITCH WELD SHOP SAID IT WILL COST $550.00 TO REMOVE THE OLD HITCH AND INSTALL A NEW ONE. I FEEL THAT THE DEFECTIVE WELD ON THE HITCH COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ROAD HAZARD AND POTENTIAL LOSS OF LIFE. I JUST PRAY THAT THE THOUSANDS OF TRAILERS THAT BREAK OFF THEIR TOWING VEHICLES ARE NOT THE RESULT OF DEFECTIVE WELDS. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED ON THREE OCCASIONS. ALL INCIDENTS OCCURRED DURING ACCELERATION WHILE TRAVELING 25 TO 35 MPH.

NOT ALL INCIDENTS OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING. SOME INCIDENTS OCCURRED WHILE AT IDLE, AND AT A STOP. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND REPLACED IT. RECENTLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION SELECTOR POSITION SENSOR AND REPLACED IT. THE ABS ACTIVATED WHILE DRIVING ON DRY PAVEMENT. THE DEALER FOUND IT NECESSARY TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. *NM

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
2002 GMC SIERRA 1500 P/U W/4.3 LT. V-6, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE A/C CONDENSATION LINE COVERED THREE TIMES WITH THE FOAM INSULATION FROM MY DEALER. THEY ALSO HAVE TO CLEAN THE CORROSION FROM THE DISTRIBUTOR, REMOVE THE SCREEN IN THE BOTTOM OF THE DISTRIBUTOR, CLEAN THE SPARK PLUGS AND REPLACE THE CAP AND ROTOR ON EACH OCCASION. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AGAIN TO HAVE THE DISTRIBUTOR REPLACED. THIS IS AT A COST OF AROUND $680.00 TO REPLACE THE DISTRIBUTOR , NEW PLUGS DUE TO FOULING AND WIRES. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THE TEMPORARY FIX (BAND-AID). THE AIR CONDITION CONDENSATION LINE IS LOCATED DIRECTLY ABOVE THE DISTRIBUTOR AND THEY REFUSE TO MOVE IT. IT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY APPARENT THEIR REPAIR IS NOT A FIX BUT A TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO GET YOU OUT OF WARRANTY. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL SENT TO ME BUT DOES NOT SHOW IN YOUR LISTINGS FOR THE SUBJECT VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS, YOUR VEHICLE USUALLY GIVES NO SIGNS BEFORE LEAVING YOU STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. MY QUESTION IS WHY THE DEALER GETS AWAY WITH A TEMPORARY FIX AND NOT A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM ? I BELIEVE THE AIR CONDITION CONDENSER LINE SHOULD BE RELOCATED AWAY FROM THE DISTRIBUTOR ALTOGETHER. GMC IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND RECTIFIED THE RE-ENGINEERING OF THE A/C LINE ROUTE IN THE 2003 MODELS. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED, THE DEALERSHIP NOTICED THE ROTOR HAD A 1" WIDE AND 3" LONG GAUGE IN THE METAL ABOUT "DEEP. THE CONTACT DETERMINED THIS WAS DUE TO POROSITY. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THE CONTACT THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE ROTORS.
