SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE A 2001 GMC SIERRA 3500. I HAVE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN NHTSA ID NUMBER 05V37900. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGE AT SLOW SPEEDS. I HAVE CALLED GM ABOUT IT, E-MAILED THEM ABOUT IT, STAY IN TOUCH WITH THE DEALER AND EVERYONE SAYS MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL BUT IT IS SHOULD BE FOR SURE. MY FRIENDS WITH 1500'S AND 2500'S HAVE ALL HAD IT REPAIRED BUT I GOT NO NOTICE. EVERY PLACE I CHECK SAYS IT SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST BUT NOT WHEN I USE THE VIN ON THE GM SITE. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON NOVEMBER 29 WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 GMC SIERRA PICKUP MY SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN OFF AND ON FOR 2 OR 3 WEEKS THEN STOPPED WORKING. AFTER CHECKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP I WAS ADVISED THIS WOULD COST 500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THE LOCAL SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAS 10 2003 CHEVY TAHOE'S THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS DEVICE MALFUNCTION. THANK YOU. *JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
I HAD JUST EXITED A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN THE SPARE TIRE FELL FROM UNDER THE TRUCK. AFTER EXAMINING THE SPARE TIRE RETAINING CABLE I FOUND IT HAD RUSTED IN HALF ALLOWING THE TIRE TO FALL. IF THE TIRE HAD FALLEN OUT 30 SECONDS EARLIER IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MULTI CAR PILE UP WITH POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THOSE BEHIND ME. I FEEL THIS CABLE SHOULD BE REPLACED BY STAINLESS STEEL CABLE WHICH WILL NOT RUST OR AT THE VERY LEAST A SECONDARY SAFETY CHAIN BE ADDED TO AT LEAST KEEP THE TIRE WITH THE TRUCK !! I AM NOW AFRAID TO FOLLOW ANY GM MADE TRUCK ! *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
IN 2001 MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A NEW 2001 GMC SIERRA 1500 XXX]. WE HADN'T HAD THE VEHICLE LONG, ROUGHLY 20,000 MILES, BEFORE WE NOTICED AN INTERMITTENT TAPPING FEELING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE. NOT ONLY DID THE BRAKE TAP, BUT IT WOULD NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE PROPERLY AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKE. I THOUGHT IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE ABS, BUT WAS NOT SURE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT BY OUR LOCAL DEALER WHO ADVISED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING PERSISTED. LAST YEAR SOMETIME WE HEARD OF A CANADIAN RECALL DUE TO THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATING IMPROPERLY. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO ADVISED IT WAS A RECALL IN CANADA AND NOT THE U.S.; THEREFORE THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. WE RECENTLY HEARD OF A RECALL IN THE U.S. FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER CALLING THE DEALER WE WERE INFORMED THAT OUR VIN WAS OUT OF A DIFFERENT FACTORY THAN THAT OF THE RECALL. I WAS ALSO INFORMED DURING THIS CALL THAT GM WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL MANDATED TO DO SO BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. HAVING TWO YOUNG CHILDREN I DO NOT FEEL MY VEHICLE IS SAFE AND BELIEVE GM SHOULD HAVE VOLUNTARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES, AS I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS TRIGGERED THE RECENT RECALLS. HOWEVER, GM, SPECIFICALLY MCKAY MOTORS A GMC DEALERSHIP, REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE UNTIL MANDATED BY A GOVERNING AUTHORITY. I AM ASKING THAT YOU CONSIDER AN INVESTIGATION INTO MY VEHICLES FACTORY AND ULTIMATELY A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM WE ARE EXPERIENCING. *JB UPDATED 07/17/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
I SAT ON MY TAIL GATE AND THE TAIL GATE FELL DOWN. WHEN I LOOKED I HAD ONE BROKE CABLE AND THE OTHER SIDE THE BOLT WAS MISSING. I BOUGHT TWO CABLES FROM ADVANCE AUTO REPLACED ONE SIDE BUT I COULD NOT GET THE BOLT BACK IN THE OTHER SIDE. I WAS PLANNING TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND FOR THE RECALL BUT THE GATE FELL OFF THE TRUCK AND I DID NOT KNOW IT HAD FELL OFF AND I DRAGGED IT DOWN A DIRT ROAD FOR ABOUT HALF MILE OR MORE. I TRIED TO GET GMC TO REPLACE THE TAIL GATE BUT THEY JUST WANTED TO REPLACE THE CABLE SAYING THAT THE CABLE DID NOT CAUSE THE TAIL GATE TO FALL OFF AND THE DAMAGE WAS NOT DUE TO THE CABLES. I FEEL THAT THE CABLE PROBLEM CAUSED THE TAIL GATE TO FALL OFF. *JB
