SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS CONTROL UNIT MODULE ACTIVATED WHILE DRIVING ,CAUSING ABS VALVE TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY & BURN UP. DEALER STATED THAT CAUSE OF FAILURE WAS DUE TO CORROSION GETTING INTO MODULE UNIT. DEALER REPLACED MODULE,VALVE & BLED BRAKE SYSTEM. COST WAS $1090. SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THIS WAS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT GM KNEW ABOUT BUT NO RECALL WAS ISSUED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME. ACCORDING TO NHTSA WEB SITE , GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR WHEEL SENSORS ON THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE SAME CAUSE AS THE MODULE FAILURE; CORROSION. THE MODULES ARE LOCATED JUST BELOW DRIVER ON THE INSIDE OF THE FRAME RAIL. HOW THEY EXPECTED TO KEEP THEM FROM A CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT ,I CAN'T FIGURE. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF GM ACKNOWLEDGE A CORROSION PROBLEM ON ONE PART OF THEIR ABS SYSTEM THAT THEY SHOULD DO THE SAME ON THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. I ALSO CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CHOOSE CERTAIN STATES AS BEING IN THE "SALT BELT". WE USE IT HERE IN KANSAS TOO. *JB

STEERING:LINKAGES
VEHICLE- 2006 GMC SIERRA 2500HD 4X4 DURAMAX/ALLISON THERE IS A VERY NOTICEABLE CLUNK/LOOSENESS IN THE STEERING. I HAVE GREASED/LUBRICATED THE WHOLE STEERING MECHANISM WITH NO REDUCTION IN THE PROBLEM. MY FEAR IS THE LOOSENESS WILL RESULT IN A COMPLETE FAILURE OR LOSS OF STEERING. PRIOR TO THAT I FEAR POOR DRIVING/MANEUVER ABILITY WHILE THIS ISSUE PERSIST. *JB

STEERING:LINKAGES
INTERMEDIATE SHAFT CONTINUES TO RATTLE. WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY ONCE. VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND COST $110 TO LUBE THE SHAFT, WHICH ISN'T EVEN GUARANTEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRUCKS OVER AND OVER. GM NEEDS TO HANDLE THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
DIESEL POWER KEEPS REDUCING. TRUCK HAS BEEN TO DEALER TWICE. ALL MAINTENANCE IS PERFORMED PER OWNERS MANUAL, INCLUDING FUEL FILTERS. TRUCK HAS BEEN TO DEALER TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. I SUSPECT INJECTOR FAILURE OR OTHER FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM. AT 5000 MILES THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD A NEW INJECTOR PUMP REPLACED. I FEEL THAT THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO TRAILER WITH. I HAVE TROUBLE MAINTAINING SPEEDS ON EVEN THE SMALLEST OF GRADES NOT TOWING MUCH WEIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED GM, WHICH WAS LESS THAN HELPFUL. DEALER INSISTS THAT IT NEEDS THE "THROTTLE BODY CLEANED", NO THROTTLE BODY ON A DIESEL! TRUCK IS NOW GOING TO A RECOMMENDED, COMPETENT MEDIUM DUTY DEALERSHIP. *JB

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
A/C DOES NOT COOL PROPERLY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. FIRST TIME VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THERE IS A TSB OUT ON THIS PROBLEM AND DEALER INSISTED THAT A/C WAS COOLING PROPERLY. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, IT STILL HAS THE SAME A/C PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE NOW NEEDS A $175 A/C SERVICE, TSB STILL NOT PERFORMED. MY VEHICLE MET ALL THE CRITERIA TO HAVE THIS PERFORMED BEFORE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT, AND STILL DOES. *JB
