IS THIS LEGAL TO DENY ME A RECALL....WHEN I CAN PROVE I HAVE A PERMANENT RESIDENCE IN DELAWARE???? *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
TL*- WHILE DRIVING THE 2001 GMC SIERRA EXTENDED CAB AT 20 MPH SHE ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE BEGAQN TO SLOW DOWN , THEN WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THIS FAILURE RESULTED IN A CRASH. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE LEFT TO AVOID A COLLISION, BUT WAS UNABLE TO, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT BUMPER CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER DOOR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE, HOWEVER, THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A COMPLETE STATE INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE DONE BY THE DEALERSHIP SEPTEMBER 8, 2006, PRIOR TO THE CRASH. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FRONT WHEEL SENSOR SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED THE VEHICLE AFTER THE CRASH AND NOTFIED THE CONTACT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH BRAKES. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAD 52300 MILES. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
I HAVE AN 04 GMC SIERRA WITH ABOUT 80,000 MILES ON IT NOW, I BOUGHT THE TRUCK WITH 70,000 AND AT ABOUT 73,000 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING. I WOULD BE DOING 65 AND THEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT GO BACK DOWN. SO I STARTED MY TRUCK REPEATEDLY UNTIL THE NEEDLE WENT BACK DOWN TO 0. ABOUT A WEEK LATER IT DID IT AGAIN, AND AGAIN THE NEXT WEEK, AND NOW THIS HAS BEEN THE 4TH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AND IT WILL NO LONGER WORK. I READ IN ONE FORUM THAT THERE WAS SUPPOSEDLY A RECALL ABOUT IT BUT I LOOKED ONLINE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND FOUND NOTHING. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL BECAUSE THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS NOT VERY CHEAP TO FIX (550.00 PLUS 150.00 FOR PROGRAMMING) AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I AM IN COLLEGE I CANNOT AFFORD THAT!!!! **OH AND I ALSO GOT A SPEEDING TICKET SO THANK YOU GM! *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW - SOMETIMES WORKS PROPERLY, BUT OTHER TIMES READS EMPTY WHEN TANK IS FULL, READS MORE FUEL THAN IN TANK, ETC. I HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS WHO HAVE THIS GENERATION OF GM FULL-SIZE TRUCK (GMC SIERRA, CHEVY SILVERADO, GMC YUKON, CHEVY TAHOE - GMT800 SERIES), AND MOST OF THEM HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM TOLD THAT THE ISSUE IS WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND - 3 RD AND AT TIMES THE ENGINE WILL REV AND FINALLY IT WILL TAKE OFF, THIS HAS CAUSED AN ISSUE WHEN GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED FOUR REPAIRS AND IT IS NOT FIXED. THE ISSUE STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 6K MILES ON IT AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. THE SPEEDOMETER IS SPORADIC IN THAT IT WILL SHOW SPEED REDUCTION/INCREASE IN SEGMENTS - AS IF IT WERE STICKING. THE ERRONEOUS SPEED INDICATION CAUSES AN ISSUE WHEN GOING TOO SLOW OR TOO FAST IN TRAFFIC. *NM

BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM A DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST 2006. IN NOVEMBER, THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING. I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED "BUMPER-TO-BUMPER" WARRANTY AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT COVERED. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME NINETY DOLLARS TO INSPECT THE FAILURE, PLUS CHARGE ME FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION, I FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
ON OR ABOUT 12/01/06, WHILE PULLING MY TRUCK AHEAD, THE BRAKES FAILED, CAUSING ME TO ROLL INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. ON 3 OTHER OCCASIONS, MY TRUCK HAS ROLLED THROUGH INTERSECTIONS DUE TO ABS FAILURE. I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING AND THEY REFERRED ME TO GM. WHEN I CONTACTED GM, THEY ALLUDED TO THE FACT THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE DEFECT BUT THEN INDICATED THAT THE BRAKES WORK AS DESIGNED. I WAS THEN ADVISED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE WITH REGARDS TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM BUT WAS GIVEN SOME FREE OIL CHANGES FOR MY TROUBLES. WHEN I DID FINALLY RECEIVE THE 12,000 MILE OIL CHANGE COVERAGE, DUE TO DELAYS IN THEIR PROCESSING, THE COVERAGE WAS ACTUALLY FOR ONLY 7900 MILES. WHEN GM WAS CONTACTED, THEY REFUSED TO CORRECT THIS ERROR. *JB
