STEERING
MY CONCERN IS ONE FOR TRYING TO PREVENT A FUTURE ACCIDENT. I OWN A GMC SIERRA 2500 PICKUP AND THE UPPER INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND IN GOING OUT AGAIN. THIS ALL WITHIN 40,000 MILES. I FEEL THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE PART. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE STEERING SHAFT FAILS, THE DRIVER WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ON WET PAVEMENT MY REAR TRUCK TIRES SPUN A BIT AND THEN WHEN I GOT ON THE ROAD TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MPH MY SPEEDOMETER READ 120 MPH! WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE NEEDLE STAYED AT ABOUT 70 MPH. THE PROBLEM IS I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING, BUT I CAN GUARANTEE THAT IT WASN'T 120 MPH! :) TRUCK IS STILL NOT WORKING. VEHICLE IS A 2003 GMC 2500HD.*JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING OUR 2004 GMC SIERRA, THE SPEEDOMETER, KEEP ACTING UP AND THEN IT JUST QUIT. BEFORE THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY WENT OUT. SO I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND SAID IT WOULD COST ME ABOUT 1000.00 DOLLARS .I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURE. *NM

PARKING BRAKE
I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY PARKING BRAKE WEARING OUT PREMATURELY AGAIN AND POSSIBLY ROLLING AND COLLIDING WITH ANOTHER OBJECT. THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES WERE REPLACED WITH ONLY 38,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAID THEY WERE WORE DOWN TO METAL AND THAT IT WAS MY FAULT FOR NOT HAVING THE BRAKES TOTALLY DISASSEMBLED AND THEN ADJUSTED. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGE CLUSTER HAVE WORKED INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS AND HAVE NOW COMPLETELY FAILED. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHER GM TRUCK OWNERS AND APPARENTLY THIS AN EXTREMELY COMMON OCCURRENCE. SOME OF THEM WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE GOTTEN IT COVERED. I SEE FROM THE COMPLAINT SEARCH THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS HERE AS WELL. GM CHARGES AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT TO FIX THIS ISSUE AS IT REQUIRES COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUSTER. IF A TOTAL FAILURE OF A CLUSTER INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER ISN'T A SAFETY HAZARD, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. *NM
