ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
THE FUEL GAUGE QUITS AT VARIOUS TIMES, READING ZERO AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. IT SEEMS TO BE A RELAY PROBLEM IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE OFF DURATION IS GETTING LONGER AND IS NOT REALTED TO FUEL TANK LEVEL NOR TO VEHICLE MOVEMENT. SHUTTING THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND THEN BACK TO ON WILL USUALLY CURE THE PROBLEM. SOME TIMES WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE COMES ON THE LEVEL RISES VERY SLOWLY, TAKING SEVERAL MINUTES TO REACH THE FULL LEVEL WITH THE TANK FULL.

I HAVE A 2000 GMC SERRIA TRUCK. I HAVE ALSO INCOUNTER THE ABS FAULT WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE WORST PART IS WHEN PARKING IN A PARKING LOT WITH CARS IN FRONT OF YOU. THE TRUCK HAS MARKED DECREASE IN STOPPING. I HAVE ALSO INCOUNTERED WHERE THE PEDAL GETS ROCK HARD.I DON'T GET A LIGHT ON THE DASH OR SHOW CODES. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD COST OVER $500.00 TO REPAIR. I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY RIGHT KNOW. I HAVE BEEN ONLY DRIVING MY 3.5 MILES TO WORK AND BACK. WE USE MY WIFES CAR TO GO ANY WHERE ELSE.

SUSPENSION:FRONT
I HAD THE DEALER DO A SCHEDULE TIRE ROTATION, AND ON THEY WAY HOME I REACHED THE SPEED OF 40 MPH THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE LIKE I WAS GOING OVER SPEED BUMPERS. THIS STOPPED BUT THE FRONT END STILL BOUNCES WHEN EVER YOU GO OVER A SERIES OF SMALL BUMPS THE WHOLE FRONT JUST SHAKES YOU HAVE TO USE TWO HANDS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN CONTROL, DON'T USE THE BRAKE THE PEDAL GOES SOFT UNTIL YOU ARE OUT THE ROUGH ROAD. I HAVE HAD THE TIRES REPLACED AND BUT NEW RIMS ON THE VEHICLE. THE BOUNCE IS STILL NOTICEABLE AT SPEEDS OVER 40, THE ROAD DOES NOT CHANGE THE EFFECT. THE CROWNING OF THE ROAD IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAYS THE FRONT IS TIGHT AND CAN NOT DUPLICATE MY PROBLEM SO THEY CAN NOT FIX IT. THE SERVICE MANGER SAYS I'VE LOWERED MY FRONT END THIS GMC SIERRA IS TOTALLY OEM EXC FOR TIRE, AND AFTERMARKET DRESS.I HAD THE TRUCK ALIGNED AND THE THRUST ANGLE WAS OFF SO MY SON-INLAW AND I DID A THRUST ALIGNMENT FIRST AND THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT. ALSO ONE OF THE UPPER CONTROL ARM BOLTS WAS SLIGHTLY LOOSE, YOU COULD SEE THE BROWN RUSTY POWDER AROUND THE BUSHING SO THIS WAS LOOSE FOR SOME TIME. I AM A DIESEL MECHANIC SO I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG LOOSE, OR WORN OUT THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THINGS DO WEAR OUT AND I DO NOT MIND PAYING FOR THINGS TO BE DONE CORRECTLY

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I OWN A 2000 GMC SIERRA TRUCK THAT HAS BECOME HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE DUE TO REPEATED ANTILOCK BRAKE PROBLEMS. AT SLOW SPEEDS THE ANTILOCKS WILL ENGAGE AND REMAINED ENGAGED, PREVENTING THE TRUCK FROM COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE MATTER HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE LAST YEAR. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I'VE COME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO SUSTAINING SUBSTANTIVE VEHICLE AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. AS SUCH, THE TRUCK IS VIRTUALLY UNDRIVEABLE FOR SAFETY REASONS.

STEERING
AFTER DRIVING THROUGH 12 INCES OF SNOW FOR APROX. 100 FEET, A THUMPING NOISE STARTED IN THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL AREA. TWO MECHANICS CHECKED IT AND SAID IT WAS NOTHING. AFTER 2 MONTHS THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT FAILED, WAS REPLACED AND THE SOUND STOPPED. SHORTLY AFTER WE STARTED HAVING TROUBLE STOPPING AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE ABS WOULD KICK THE PEDAL UP, AND THE STOPPING DISTANCE AT 10 MPH BECAME 50 -100 FT. WHEEL SENSOR BEARING WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $800. THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDOW LEAKS AIR, THE DOOR WEATHERSTRIPING ON BOTH SIDES FALL OFF ON A REGULAR BASIS.THE GAS GUAGE SOMETIMES READS EMPTY WHEN THE TANK IS JUST FILLED, AND SOMETIMES BOUNCES FROM PLACE TO PLACE. THE DRIVERS SIDE PWR WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AND PULLED THE GLASS OUT OF THE TRACK. PWR MIRROR SWITCH FAILED CANNOT ADJUST MIRRORS EXCEPT TO THE LEFT AND UP. DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS BLOW BULBS CONSTANTLY. TIRES HAVE STRANGE WEAR, ONE LUG HIGH, ONE LUG LOW, ALL FOUR TIRES, PROPERLY INFLATED.BACK DOOR DOESN'T LATCH IN COLD WEATHER, DRIVERS DOOR LATCH FROZE OPEN THIS WINTER. WASHER FLUID SWITCH ONLY WORKS WHEN PUSHED "BEYOND NORMAL" POSITION. REAR VENTS IN CONSOLE WON'T CLOSE. AND THE WHOLE TRUCK VIBRATES VIOLENTLY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 55 MPH HARD TO HOLD ON, HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL TOWARD SIDE OF ROAD TO AVOID ACCIDENT. HAPPENS MANY TIMES PER DAY.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES KICKING IN AT LOW SPEEDS (UNDER 10 MPH) WHEN COMING TO A STOP CAUSING UNEXPECTED ELONGATED STOPPING DISTANCES. HAD TO PULL FUSE TO DISABLE THE ABS MODULE IN ORDER TO BRAKE NORMALLY (BUT W/O ABS). PER GMC DIAGNOSTIC, SPEED SENSORS NOT PUTTING OUT CORRECT READING AT LOW SPEEDS. GMC DEALER REPLACED BOTH FRONT AND BEARING & HUB ASSEMBLIES. TRUCK OUT OF WARRANTY BUT DEALER PICKED UP HALF THE COST, AND I PAID $352.17. FILED COMPLAINT WITH GM - PROBLEM FILE # 1-236485201.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES CHATTER AND FAIL TO STOP ON MY 2000 GMC SIERRA PICKUP TRUCK AT ANYTHING UNDER 10MPH.THIS STARTED LAST OCTOBER. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED $480 TO CORRECT. SAVED A BUNCH OF MONEY BY UNPLUGGING THE FUSE FOR THE ABS SYTEM. STOPS FINE NOW. I ALMOST HIT THE BACK OF MY GARAGE WALL AND STOPPED CARS IN FRONT.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
VEHICLE: 2000 GMC SIERRA, EXT. CAB, 4WD, LESS THAN 19000 MILES. VEHICLE EXIBITED INTERMITTANT LOW-SPEED ANTILOCK BRAKE ACTIVATION. ALTHOUGH THERE WERE MANY "CLOSE CALLS" ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ANTILOCK MOTOR WOULD ACTIVATE UPON INITIAL BRAKE APPLICATION (VERY LOW PRESSURE IN HYDRAULIC LINES), NO DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO THE VEHICLE OR OTHER PROPERTY. A POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SITUATION EXISTS WITH THESE HEAVY VEHICLES. LOW OUTPUT FROM RIGHT FRONT ABS SENSOR WAS DIAGNOSED. I REPLACED ENTIRE HUB AND SENSOR ASSEMBLY. THE SYMPTOM IS NOW GONE. THE OLD PART IS STILL IN MY POSESSION FOR INSPECTION.
