TIRES
I BOUGHT NEW GMC SIERRRA IN MID 2004, TRUCK EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST. TRUCK EXHIBITS VERY POOR WET TRACTION AND EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. WHEN TIRE WAS APPROXIMATELY AT 18,000 MILES HAD SERIOUS SPIN OUT ON I75 SOUTH OF TAMPA IN LITE RAINY CONDITION. SINCE THEN NOTICED TIRE SPIN ON SLIGHTEST WET ROADS, EVEN HAS TROUBLE PULLING OUT OF CAR WASHES. THIS IS DANGEROUS TIRE AND SHOULD NOT BE INSTILLED ON LARGE VEHICLES. TIRE IS DOWN TO WEAR MARKS AND ONLY HAS 28000 MILES. TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND MAINTAINED ONLY BY GM DEALERS. GOODYEAR DEALER STATES THIS TIRE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON FULL SIZE TRUCKS, IT WILL WEAR EXCESSIVELY AND MAY LEAD TO BLOWOUT. DEALERSHIP WON'T DO ANYTHING AND GOODYEAR STATES IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT INSTALLED BY MANUFACTURER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
INTERNAL FAILURE OF PART IN FUEL TANK THAT CAUSED THE FUEL GAUGE TO NOT READ ACCURATELY, BUT ALLOWED THE LOW FUEL LIGHT TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. THIS PART WAS NOT A PART OF THE FUEL PUMP, BUT WORKED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PUMP AS THE PUMP WAS A WARRANTY ITEM ,AND THIS PART WAS NOT.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY, AFTER DOING A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY CHEVEROLET FULL SIZE VEHICLES. THIS WAS VERY OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN SITTING AT A STOP SIGN THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 35-40 MPH, AND WAS EITHER STUCK OR READ COMPLETLY INCORRECT.*AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE FAILS INTERMITTENTLY. HE STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS INCORRECT SPEEDS OR NO SPEED AT ALL WHILE USUALLY DRIVING 45 MPH. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE TACHOMETER OCCASIONALLY OPERATES IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE SPEEDOMETER. THE FREQUENCY OF THE FAILURES IS INCREASING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS FAILURES RELATED TO THOSE SPECIFIC COMPONENTS. THE ENGINE SIZE IS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 56,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA PICK UP WITH A CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE OF 40,000 MILES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS WORKING IMPROPERLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP THE SPEEDOMETER READ THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 120 MPH. WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT REGISTERING THE SPEED CORRECTLY. THE CONTACT WOULD KEEP UP WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC TO TRY TO GAGE THE VEHICLES SPEED. THE CONTACT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE SPEEDOMETER MOTOR. AK UPDATED 05/23/07. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER OF MY 2004 GMC SIERRA WILL OFTEN NOT SHOW THE CORRECT SPEED. SOMETIMES IT GOES WAY UP, SOMETIMES WAY DOWN - EVEN TO ZERO. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER WHO SAYS IT WILL COST AT LEAST $600 TO REPAIR AND I HAVE CONTACTED GMC WHO SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO - THEY REPORT NO RECALL. MY WIFE'S 2004 CHEVY MONTE CARLO HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS SOON AFTER WE BOUGHT IT NEW - IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. FROM MY RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE VERY WIDESPREAD WITH GM PRODUCTS. I BELIEVE A FAULTY SPEEDOMETER IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY GM. *JB

POWER TRAIN, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY VEHICLE, THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE 7-8 ISSUES, ONE SELLING POINT WAS THE ONSATR CELLULAR SERVICE, NEVER WORKED, ETC. ETC. ETC. THE SALIENT MATTER AT THIS TIME IS THAT THE DRIVE TRAIN ORGINALLY EXHIBITED A CLINCKING SOUND SHIFTING FROM 2ND-3RD AND FROM 3RD-2ND, THE NOISE WAS SPORADIC AND WENT FROM A CLINCKING TO A DECIRNABLE CLUNK ALL THE TIME, THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED MULTIPLE REPAIRS AND NOW STATES THE MATTER IS A CONCERN BUT IT IS NOT A PROBLEM, THE OEM, GMC, HAS STATES THAT THER IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND I AM RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS, I CAN NOT SELL IT AS IS. *JB

MY 2004 SIERRA'S SPEEDOMETER DOESNT REGISTER SPEED PROPERLY. SOMETIMES IT STICKS AT ONE SPEED LIKE 60 OR 70 REGARDLESS OF SPEED, OR WILL REST AT A NUMBER WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOTIONLESS AND PROCEED UPWARD AS THE VEHICLE INCREASES SPEED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. SOMETIMES IT WORKS FOR A WHILE IF I CAN GET IT TO FALL BACK TO ZERO, BUT THAT DOESNT LAST LONG. IT EVENTUALLY QUITS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT IS DESCRIBED REGARDING THE RECALL OF GMC LIGHT TRUCKS FOR ABS ACTIVATION AT SLOW SPEEDS DUE TO CORROSION OF THE HUB AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY. I HAVE A 2004 GMC SIERRA DENALI WHICH, ACCORDING TO GMC, IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MASSIVE RECALL PROMPTED BY YOUR INVESTIGATION. MY ISSUE, AS DESCRIBED BY THE DEALER, IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ISSUE AND REASON FOR RECALLING THOSE OTHER VEHICLES. *JB
