VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2004 GMC SIERRA PICKUP WITH A BAD ICP)GIVING THE WRONG SPEEDOMETER READING. IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? TO BE IN A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT GIVING THE CORRECT SPEED. COST FOR THIS REPAIR IS ANYWHERE FROM $400 TO $650. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS FROM GMC. I HAVE READ PAGES ON PAGES OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND GETTING SOAKED FOR THIS MONEY. GMC SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM NOT ME. *AK

TIRES:SIDEWALL
THIS CONCERNS AN GENERAL TIRE P245/70R17. THIS TIRE WAS ON MY GMC SIERRA PICK-UP TRUCK. THESE TIRES CAME WITH THE TRUCK. WITHIN A MONTH OF OWNING THIS TRUCK THE TREAD TORE AWAY FROM THE TIRE LEAVING LARGE HOLES THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THOSE TIRES IN 2006. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED JUNE 23, 2007. THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. IT ONLY HAD 17600 MILES ON THE TIRE. THE INCIDENT LED ME TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DAMAGE TO THE RIM AS I TRIED TO PULL OVER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID GENERAL WOULD NOT REPLACE THIS TIRE BECAUSE THIS CAN HAPPEN AND IS A RISK YOU TAKE, I DISAGREE. IF THIS HAD BEEN ON THE FRONT TIRE I HAVE NO DOUBT I WOULD OF EITHER CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR LOST TOTAL CONTROL. *AK

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
DRIVER'S SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR DOESN'T HAVE AUTO DIM. N A TRIP AND NOTICED PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR DOESN'T AUTO DIM 04/18/07 AND FROM THEN ON HAD ISSUE WITH MIRROR NOT AUTO DIMMING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP 06/29/07 THEY SAID DUE TO THE VEHICLE BUILD IT IS NOT EQUIPPED. SO AGAIN DRIVING AT NIGHT ON 07/04/07 HAD A PROBLEM WITH GLARE AND DISTRACTION FROM VEHICLE LIGHTS BEHIND ME, SHINING IN PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR. I HAVE A DISPUTE TO MAKE AND I BELIEVE IT IS SAFETY RELATED. I HAVE A 2007 GMC SIERRA CREW CAB WITH POWER FOLDING TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR REAR VIEW MIRRORS. ON THE DRIVERS SIDE THE GLASS AUTO DIMS, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IT DOES NOT. HOWEVER IT IS TO MY BELIEF GM HAS BUILT THESE TRUCKS THIS WAY TO SAVE MONEY. I ON THE OTHER HAND FEEL THAT IF THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE ONE SIDE AUTO DIM WHY SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE BOTH SIDES AUTO DIM, DUE TO THE FACT DRIVERS STILL GET BLINDSIDED AND DISTRACTED WHEN THERE ARE BRIGHT LIGHTS SHINING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR. I HAD A 2004 GMC SIERRA WITH BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE MIRRORS THAT DID AUTO DIM. MANY OF THE 2007 GMC SIERRA TRUCKS ARE BUILT THIS WAY AND I FEEL THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO THE DRIVER, NOT ONLY IS IT AN ANNOYANCE, NOT ONLY WITH A PERSON SUCH AS MYSELF HAS A SENSITIVITY TO BRIGHT LIGHTS AND GLARE AT NIGHT. I PROPOSE THAT GM BE CONTACTED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND A RECALL BE PERFORMED ON THESE PASSENGER SIDE REARVIEW MIRROR GLASS. THANK YOU . *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
UPON PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED PRIOR TO PURCHASE THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT READ ACCURATLY. THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF THE FIX. AFTER A DAY OR TWO DURRING A SHORT IN TOWN DRIVE I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER WAS ACTING "JERKY". I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION, BUT WHEN I LEFT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 60MPH AT A STOP. AT WHAT I ESTIMATED TO BE 65MPH THE SPEEDOMETER READ 120MPH. GM HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM FOR ALMOST A YEAR BUT THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL ON A OBVIOUSLY FLAWED PRODUCT.

STEERING
STEERING ASSEMBLY SHIMMIES RIDICULOUSLY. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT THE RECALL OF THE STEERING SHAFT. CAMPAIGN # 05V018000. I AM SURE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ASSEMBLY AT THIS POINT. FORTUNATELY THERE HAVE BEEN NO CRASHES OR COMPLETE FAILURE. HOWEVER I AM ANGRY I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM, IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. I THOUGHT MY TIRES WERE OUT OF BALANCE AND HAD THAT CHECKED TWICE, AND ROTATED. I DROVE THROUGH CURVES ON CANYON ROADS EVERYDAY TO AND FROM WORK AND I NOW THAT I AM AWARE OF A PROBLEM I AM VERY CONCERNED. *AK
