HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINES CORRODED CAUSING LEAKS AND BRAKE FAILURE
Apr 20, 2019
76000 MILES; ISSUE ONGOING BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER 2018 ON DRY PAVEMENT AT LOW SPEED (UNDER 10 MPH) BRAKING IS COMPROMISED BY ABS SYSTEM ENGAGEMENT ISSUE. BELOW 10 MPH, THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES CAUSING DRY PAVEMENT BRAKING TO BE DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THE NORMAL DISTANCE TO STOP PRIOR TO THE ABS ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE ABS SYSTEM PULSING OF THE BRAKES AT SLOW SPEEDS ON DRY PAVEMENT IS UNEXPECTED. AT A STOP SIGN/CROSSWALK, THIS HAS CAUSED A VERY CLOSE ENCOUNTER. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 80000 MILES AND HAS BEEN SERVICED ROUTINELY BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. REPLACEMENT/SERVICE OF ABS SPEED SENSORS AND RUST ISSUE DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NEVER BEEN CONTACTED REGARDING THE RECALL THAT EXISTS FOR THIS ISSUE. REQUIRE ASSISTANCE TO DETERMINE WHY A VEHICLE WITH THIS MILEAGE HAS THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND GM HAS PROVIDED NO RELIEF.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH IN TOWN, THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME SIGNALED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE AND THEN I LOST ALL BRAKE PRESSURE. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT DUE TO COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE! THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS LIGHTS OR WARNING SIGNALS NOTIFYING OF A BRAKE PROBLEM PRIOR TO THIS. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS FULL. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, IT APPEARS THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED CAUSING THE BRAKE FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING UP TO AN INTERSECTION I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL DROPPED TO THE FLOOR, NO BRAKES. THE CROSS TRAFFIC WAS APPROACHING AT 50 MPH, AND MY ROAD STOPPED SO I HAD TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT. LUCKILY, BY SOME MIRACLE THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC JUST MISSED SLAMMING INTO ME. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM GM ASKING FOR ME TO HAVE THE BRAKE LINES CHECKED, EVEN THOUGH I SEE ONLINE THAT I AM FAR FROM ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I SEE YOU STARTED INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE IN 2010 - WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? I WAS ALMOST KILLED AND NO ONE IS WARNING OWNERS OF GM TRUCKS I GUESS WHEN THE GOVERNMENT OWNS PART OF GM THEY DON"T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RECALLS....... THE CONSUMER STATED THE REASON THE BRAKES FAILED, WERE DUE TO RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINES.

STEERING
34 complaints
I HAVE A 2003 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEED AT TIMES THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN COMES BACK. YESTERDAY I ALMOST HIT A CAR HEAD ON DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TURNING INTO A GAS STATION AND THE STEERING WENT OUT. A CAR WAS PULLING OUT OF THE STATION AS I WAS PULLING IN AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I WAS GOING STRAIGHT AT AND I STRUGGLED THROUGH IT TO MAKE THE TRUCK TURN. IF MY WIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS BUT YESTERDAY WAS A CLOSE CALL. *TR

POWER STEERING AND/OR BRAKING MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE OR DRASTICALLY REDUCED PERFORMANCE WHEN USED AT SAME TIME BECAUSE POWER STEERING PUMP IS ALSO POWER BRAKE PUMP AND SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH PRESSURE OR FLOW CAPACITY TO SUPPLY BOTH STEERING AND BRAKING TOGETHER. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
12 complaints
COMPLAINT INVOLVES REDUCED POWER MODE WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE OF THE RAPID DROP IN SPEED WHILE DRIVING. IT IS UNSAFE TRYING TO EXIT TRAFFIC LANES WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THROTTLE PEDAL AND APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DRIVE BY WIRE VEHICLES PRODUCED BY GENERAL MOTORS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP TWICE WITH NO RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM. THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, TIMES OF DAY, TEMPERATURES ETC. IT WILL ENTER REDUCED POWER ONCE TO TWICE A DAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

SINCE THEN THE SPEEDOMETER WAS ALMOST ALWAYS INCORRECT. IT HAS OCCASIONALLY FIXED" ITSELF, BUT USUALLY DID NOT LAST MORE THAN A DAY OR TWO. THE NEEDLE WAS OFTEN BURIED PAST 120 MPH. A NUMBER OF MY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. CURRENTLY I HAVE NOT PAID TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED, BUT HOPE THAT IT WILL BE RECALLED AT SOME POINT SOON.*AK

I HAVE A 2003 SIERRA PICKUP 4X4, 64,000 MILES. IT HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD. 4 WHEEL DRIVE HAS ONLY BEEN ENGAGED LESS THAN A DOZEN TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. MILEAGE HAS BEEN APPROX 50/50 BETWEEN HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING. ON A RECENT TRIP FROM PRESCOTT AZ TO PHOENIX AZ, THE PASSENGER SIDE HUB ASSEMBLY FAILED ON 2003 GMC SIERRA PICKUP; 2500HD WITH DURAMAX DIESEL ENGINE. ONCE HUB ASSEMBLY FAILED, THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE BROKE AND BASICALLY ALLOWED FOR THE WHEEL TO BECOME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE HUB ASSEMBLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AND HAD IT FAILED APPROX 10-15 MILES EARLIER IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAINS BETWEEN PRESCOTT AZ AND PHEONIX AZ. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM; PEORIA PONTIAC GMC, PEORIA, AZ. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSED THE HUB ASSEMBLY FAILURE AND AXLE BREAKAGE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE DRIVER'S SIDE HUB ASSEMBLY; IT WAS ALSO BAD. I ASKED THE SERVICE PERSON IF THERE WAS SOME ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE THAT I COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM. THE RESPONSE WAS A DISCONCERTING NO; THIS JUST SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON SOME OF THE PICKUPS. I HAVE PAID TO HAVE BOTH FRONT HUB ASSEMBLIES REPLACED AND THE PASSENGER AXLE; APPROX $2500. MY BIGGER CONCERN IS FIRST THAT 65000 CITY & HIGHWAY MILES SEEMS PRETTY LOW FOR A FAILURE POINT OF SOMETHING SO CRITICAL AS THE STEERING AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. SECONDLY THAT THERE IS APPARENTLY NO FIX OR ADDITIONAL EXPLANATION OF HOW TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. MY IMMEDIATE SUSPICION IS THAT GM INADEQUATE HUB ASSEMBLIES ON THEIR DIESEL PICKUPS AND ARE NOT ABLE TO HANDLE THE ADDITIONAL STRESSES OF THE HEAVY WEIGHTS AND TORQUES, ETC. I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY ELDERLY PARENTS AND WE WERE LITERALLY LUCKY THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON A FLAT OPEN AREA OF ROAD AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOP. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2003 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB TRUCK FROM PARSONS FORD IN MARTINSBURG WV. IT WAS SOLD TO ME IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS ARE SHOT. THE TIRES ARE CUPPED. THE VEHICLE BOUNCES WHEN EXCEEDING 45 MPH. THE INSPECTION STICKER HAD BEEN REMOVED AND REPLACED WHICH INVALIDATES IT THEREFORE IT WAS SOLD TO ME WITHOUT A VALID INSPECTION. I HAVE TRIED TO RETURN THE VEHICLE ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN DAYS OF PURCHASING IT. PARSONS FORD REFUSES TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK STATING THEY DID NOTHING WRONG. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE AT THIS TIME. *NM

DEAR NHTSA, I WAS INVOLVED IN A THREE CAR MVA ON 2 FEB ON I-95 SOUTHBOUND NEAR MILE MARKER 131.2. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE SLOW LANE DURING THE EVENING TRAFFIC COMMUTE WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND FROM AN INFINITY SUV WHICH COLLIDED AND IMPACTED WITH THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE AND PUSHED MY VEHICLE GMC 2003 SIERRA EXT CAB INTO A LATE MODEL FORD FUSION. THE IMPACT AND FORCE FROM THE SUV BEHIND ME CAUSED REAR AND FRONTAL DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND IS EST TO COST OVER $8900.00 FOR REPAIRS. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND AFTER SEEING THE PHOTOS OF MY FULL SIZE PICK-UP TRUCK IT SEEMS THAT THEIR MUST HAVE BEEN SOME SORT OF MALFUNCTION THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT. MY WHOLE FRONT BUMPER IS COMPLETELY DAMAGED AND THE FRAME HOLDING THE BUMPER IN PLACE APPEARS TO BE BENT. THE REAR BUMPER TO IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND PRESSED UNDER THE BED OF THE TRUCK AND THEIR IS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE BED ITSELF HAVING BEEN BENT UPWARD AS IF IT LOOKS LIKE AN UPSIDE DOWN LETTER "V" AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED ALSO IS FLARED OUTWARD WHERE IT ABSORBED THE IMPACT. THE BED OF THE TRUCK ALSO IMPACTED INTO THE RIGHTSIDE OF MY CAB AND ALSO LEFT SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. THE IMPACT WAS SO VIOLENT THAT THE INSIDE WIRE CONNECTION TO THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER HAD ACTUALLY SEPARATED FROM THE WINDOW WHERE IT WAS SPOT SOLDERED. I RECEIVED SEVERE WHIP LASH, UPPER AND LOWER MUSCLE STRAIN, 2 BROKEN RIBS AND A SEVERE HEAD INJURY FROM MY HEAD STRIKING THE STEERING WHEEL. HAD THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE HEAD INJURY OR OTHER INJURIES SUSTAINED WOULD HAVE BEEN MITIGATED SUBSTANTIALLY. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND I SMELLED A WEIRD SMELL. I THOUGHT MY AIR CONDITIONING MAY BE MESSING UP SO I TURNED OFF MY AIR AND OPENED MY WINDOW. I STILL SMELLED THE WEIRD SMELL WITH THE WINDOW DOWN SO I ASSUMED IT WAS AN ODOR FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OR JUST GENERALLY OUTSIDE. I NOTICED IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS FLAGGING ME DOWN. I PULLED OVER AND SHE TOLD ME MY TRUCK WAS SMOKING AND SHE THOUGHT SHE SAW A FLAME OUT THE BACK. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD BETTER AND GOT OUT TO LOOK. I LOOKED IN THE AREA BETWEEN THE CAB AND THE BED AND I SAW FLAMES. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS THE FLAMES GOT BIGGER AND FLARED UP OVER THE BED OF THE TRUCK. A PASSING MOTORIST STOPPED AND HAD A COOLER OF WATER AND POURED IT ON THE AREA AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. I HAD CALLED 911 AND THE FIRE TRUCK ARRIVED AFTER THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT. THE POLICE DID NOT ACCOMPANY THE FIRE TRUCK. AN INSURANCE ADJUSTOR HAS NOT BEEN TO THE MECHANIC TO LOOK AT THE TRUCK YET SO I DO NOT KNOW THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE. *NM

THE SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, AND OTHER GAUGES ON MY 2003 GMC SIERRA 2500HD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ARE DEFECTIVE. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN UNIVERSAL PROBLEM WITH GM PRODUCTS.
May 22, 2007
SPEEDOMETER ACTS ALL ERRATIC, SOMETIMES WILL SHOW I AM GOING 30 MPH MORE THEN I REALLY AM, MAY SOMETIMES SHOW THE NEEDLE BEING BURIED AND NOT GOING OVER 20 MPH ACTUALLY, SOMETIMES DOESN'T REGISTER AT ALL, NEEDLE IS JUMPY, AND AT OTHER TIMES IT WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL FOR A FEW DAYS WITHOUT ANY INCIDENTS. THIS ALL STARTED HAPPENING ONCE MY VEHICLE HIT 51K MILES. THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT MAY BE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND COULD COST UPWARDS OF $1300 TO REPLACE.

THE PASSENGER SIDE CLIMATE CONTROL WOULD RECEIVE AN IMPROPER VOLTAGE READING. THE SYSTEM WOULD TURN TO ITS PRESET DEFAULT SETTINGS. (ON FULL HEAT) IT WAS THEN NECESSARY TO STOP THE VEHICLE, TURN OFF THE IGNITION SYSTEM. THIS WILL ALLOW THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM TO RESET ITS SELF. THIS HAPPENED ONLY ONE TIME PER DAY. (NOT ALWAYS AT THE START OF THE DAY.) TROUBLESHOOTING THIS SYSTEM WAS A TIME CONSUMING PROCESS. (5 TRIPS TO THE SHOP JUST FOR THIS) TO FIX THIS THE PASSENGER SIDE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM WAS REPLACED. (THIS REQUIRED 4 DAYS) TOTAL TIME TO TROUBLESHOOT AND REPAIR WAS 4 WEEKS.*AK

MY 2003 GMC SIERRA 1500 PRESENTLY HAS 67,631 MILES ON IT. WITH ABOUT 46,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AT THE END OF 2011, I NOTICED LOW COOLANT, BUT COULD NOT FIND A NOTICEABLE LEAK. I CONTINUED TO ADD COOLANT, BUT COULD NEVER FIND THE LEAK. WHILE HAVING MY OIL CHANGED IN JUNE 2016, THE DEALER (WHERE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PURCHASED AND SERVICED) SAID COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE OIL DUE TO A CRACKED CYLINDER HEAD, AND ESTIMATED APPROX $3500 TO FIX IT. IN DEC 2016, THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE ENGINE AT $6600. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND GM SERVICE BULLETIN #06-06-01-019B, 12 JUNE 2007, SUBJECT INFORMATION ON GRADUAL COOLANT LOSS OVER TIME WITH NO EVIDENCE OF LEAK FOUND. IT DISCUSSES A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH CASTECH HEADS USED IN THE 5.3L VORTEC ENGINE AS I HAVE IN MY TRUCK. SUBSEQUENT ONLINE SEARCHES INDICATED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG SUCH GM ENGINES. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER WITH THE SERVICE BULLETIN AND ASKED WHAT GM WOULD DO TO ASSIST IN THE REPAIR OF THIS KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE DEALER SAID THE VEHICLE WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY SO THEY WOULDN'T DO HELP. I REQUESTED ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE GM REGIONAL REP, AND WAS ALSO TOLD THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. IN MARCH 2017, I WROTE A LETTER TO GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER REQUESTING ASSISTANCE. GM RESPONDED WITH A LETTER TWO WEEKS LATER STATING THAT FOR SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER 8-2815264552, THEY "CANNOT PROVIDE ANY COST ASSISTANCE ON THE ENGINE ISSUE ON THE VEHICLE." FURTHER THEY STATED THERE IS NO RECALL OR SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THE ISSUE. THE FAULTY CASTING OF THE CASTECH CYLINDER HEAD IN THE 5.3L VORTEC ENGINE IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN ABOUT 5 YEARS OF GM VEHICLES WHICH GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE TO CUSTOMERS, BUT CLEARLY ACKNOWLEDGES THROUGH ITS SERVICE BULLETIN. GM SHOULD PROVIDE A RECALL OR AT LEAST FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO CORRECT THIS KNOWN DEFECT.

I OWN A 2003 GMC 3500 SIERRA WITH A DURAMAX DIESEL ENGINE. IT IS USED RECREATIONAL, AND HAS UNDER 30K MILES, BUT IS NOW 36 MONTHS OLD. THIS SUMMER 1/2 OF MY FUEL INJECTORS FAILED AND WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. I'M CONCERNED THERE THE REST OF THE INJECTORS WILL FAIL, AS HAS BEEN FREQUENTLY REPORTED BY OWNERS SHARING CONCERNS ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS. I AM ADDITIONALLY CONCERNED THAT THIS FAILURE WILL OCCUR AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRES. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT THE INJECTOR ISSUES BE RESEARCHED FOR 2003 DURAMAX ENGINES, AND THAT A RECALL BE ISSUED TO UPDATE VEHICLES WITH NEW INJECTORS THAT DON'T EXHIBIT THE SAME FLAWS/FAILURES, OR REQUEST THAT THE ENGINE WARRANTY BE EXTENDED TO 200,000 MILES AS WAS DONE ON THE 2001-02 MODELS.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INVESTIGATED, AND CAUSE FOUND TO BE LOSS OF FUEL TANK PRESSURE DUE TO ROTTED OUT FUEL FILLER NECK. ORIGINAL PART MADE OF NON-CORROSION RESISTANT STEEL. OTHER CORROSION PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE HAVE INVOLVED BRAKE LINES. THE FIRST LINE WAS REPLACED IN 2007, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. A MORE EXTENSIVE REPLACEMENT OF CORRODED LINES WAS DONE IN 2008 OR 2009. THESE ARE SERIOUS SAFETY AND EMISSIONS RELATED PROBLEMS, AND THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AS A RESULT OF THEM. OWNERS WHO HAVE PAID FOR REPAIRS IN THE PAST SHOULD BE COMPENSATED BY A REASONABLE AMOUNT. *TR

UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I FOUND THAT ALL THE LINES FOR THE FUEL AND BRAKE SYSTEM WERE SEVERELY RUSTED AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED TO AVOID CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FILED, BUT NO ACTION TAKEN.

I WROTE GM ON OCTOBER 26, 2013 ABOUT MY 2003 GMC SIERRA DURAMAX DIESEL 6.6L 6L THAT JUST RECENTLY STARTED BILLOWING BLUISH BLACK SMOKE CONSTANTLY FROM THE EXHAUST AND COSTING AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF MONEY IN GAS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (QUALITY BY DILORENZO IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO) AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A BULLETIN ISSUED IN OCTOBER 2006 FOR LEAKING FUEL INJECTORS. THEY DIAGNOSED MY TRUCK WITH THE EXACT FUEL INJECTOR PROBLEM. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 83,502 MILES ON IT AND I'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE NEXT TIME I TAKE IT FOR AN EMISSIONS TEST (A REQUIREMENT IN NEW MEXICO) IT WILL FAIL. I FINALLY SAVED UP ENOUGH MONEY TO GO AN OUTSIDE REPAIR SHOP ON JULY 15, 2014 TO GET MY FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED AND THE TOTAL CAME TO $4763.78. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE TWO STRIPPED BOLTS INDICATING THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED (ADDITIONAL COST OF$12 EACH TO REPLACE THE 8 BOLTS). I CALLED THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE INJECTORS WERE REPAIRED UNDER THE ORIGINAL BULLETIN (04039) IN JUNE 2005 AT TILLERY MOTORS IN BELEN NM. THEREFORE, THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE NEVER REALLY REPAIRED PROPERLY IN THE FIRST PLACE. I HAVE SPOKE TO ANOTHER WOMEN ([XXX]) AT THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER. SHE IS AGAIN ELEVATING THIS ISSUE TO A SPECIALIST UNDER GM ID [XXX] FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE TOTAL COST (STANDARD 24-48 HOUR CALL BACK).

WHEN THE PASSENGERS TRY TO PULL OUT AND RELEASE THE LOCKING MECHANISM, THE SEATBELT RATCHETS EVEN TIGHTER ALLOWING NO MOVEMENT WHATSOEVER. THE SEATBELTS LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN AND MORE SO ON THE HIGHWAY DURING ROADTRIPS. THE RESULT IS THAT MY ADULT PASSENGERS REFUSE TO WEAR THESE BELTS. I HAVE HAD THESE BELTS REPLACED ONCE ALREADY. I TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS, AND INQUIRED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH GM'S BELTS, BUT AS OF NOW ALL THE DEALERSHIPS ARE DOING IS REPLACING THE BELTS FOR CUSTOMERS, YET THE PROBLEM PERSIST.

I WOULD LIKE IF GMC WOULD CHANGE IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS IN 2002, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. I AM A PROFESSIONAL AND WHEN I CLIMB INTO MY TRUCK ON A HOT DAY I SOAK A PERFECTLY GOOD SHIRT WAITING ON IT TO COOL DOWN IN THE CAB.

I RECENTLY HAD A BRAKE FAILURE ON MY 2003 GMC SIERRA 3500 SERIES TRUCK. I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY BRAKES GAVE OUT. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP BEFORE STRIKING A PARKED CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKE LINES AND CALIPERS ARE CORRODED AND IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT FOR A $4200. I HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED LAST FEBRUARY AND PUT LESS THAN 1000 MILES BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. THE REAR BRAKE PADS WHICH WERE REPLACED THEN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF CORROSION ISSUES. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES ON THIS TRUCK 4 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IT EACH TIME BECAUSE OF CORROSION ISSUES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY GM THAT I DO NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK ENOUGH. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FOR TWO REASONS 1. IT MIGHT NOT STOP WHEN I NEED IT TO AND 2. EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT ENDS UP COSTING ME MORE MONEY. THE TRANSMISSION LINES WERE REPLACED LAST SUMMER FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS TRUCK HAS COST ME OVER $20,000 IN REPAIRS SINCE 2005 NOT INCLUDING MAINTENANCE ISSUES. WHEN I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY NO HELP. I WAS TOLD I DO NOT DRIVE IT ENOUGH AND THE FACT THAT THE TRUCK IS OLDER IT IS A PART OF LIFE. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE NHTSA IS CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER WITH GM. IF YOU NEED ANY HELP PLEASE CALL ME I WOULD GLADLY HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE WITHIN THE BRAKE AND FUEL LINES. THE BRAKE AND FUEL LINES WERE CORRODED WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKE FLUID AND FUEL TO LEAK. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

FUEL LINES WERE REPLACED AS WELL AT THE SAME TIME, DUE TO SEVERE CORROSION.

2003 GMC SIERRA 1500 PU TRUCK - CORRODED AND FAILING HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINES. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW BY ME IN OCTOBER 2003, AND NOW HAS ONLY 23,700 MILES ON IT. A LINE NEAR THE FUEL TANK, WHICH FEEDS THE REAR WHEEL CALIPERS, RUSTED THROUGH IN JANUARY 2009. OTHER LINES IN NUMEROUS LOCATIONS ALSO SHOW SIGNS OF CORROSION WHICH WILL LEAD TO FUTURE FAILURES. MECHANICS IN THIS AREA TELL ME THIS IS VERY COMMON, EVEN ON SOME NEWER GMC (AND SIMILAR CHEVROLET) VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE MECHANICS REPLACE THE FAULTY LINES WITH TUBING WHICH IS MORE CORROSION-RESISTANT THAN PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, ONE OF THE REAR, REAR WHEEL EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLES ON THIS VEHICLE ALSO FAILED DUE TO CORROSION, AND THE OTHER ONE SHOWED SIGNS OF THE SAME FAILURE IMPENDING. BOTH WERE REPLACED. A SERIOUS, FUNDAMENTAL AND COMPOUND HAZARD EXISTS UNDER THIS SCENARIO. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL THEE VEHICLES AND REPLACE ALL CRITICAL BRAKE COMPONENTS SUBJECT TO CORROSIVE FAILURES WITH CORROSION-PROOF (OR AT LEAST HIGHLY CORROSION-RESISTANT) PARTS. *TR

I READ AN ARTICLE TODAY IN THE DETROIT FREE PRESS WHICH HAS PROMPTED ME TO WRITE YOU REGARDING HIDDEN LAMPS. MY COMPLAINT IS GENERAL, IN THAT THE AMOUNT OF "DAZZLE" FROM THE SCATTERED LIGHT IS GREATLY OBJECTIONABLE, AND MUST BE CONTROLLED. "HEAD-ON" VIEWING OS ACCEPTABLE, BUT SLIGHT OFF-ANGLE IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING AND PAINFUL FROM THESE LAMPS. I WORK FOR A MAJOR AUTO COMPANY, AND HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE IN LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY. I WOULD PREFER IF NHTSA MIGRATE TO EUROPEAN REQUIREMENTS (CUT-OFF LINES) AND ENFORCE SOME TYPE OF ANTI-DAZZLE REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE LAMPS. ALTHOUGH ALLOWING A "WASH" IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD, THE SIDE SCATTER I BELIEVE IS MORE DANGEROUS, POSSIBLE CAUSING OR RELATING TO ONCOMING DRIVER IRRITATION, ROAD RAGE, OR POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS. *AK

An accident has not occurred yet, but it something I'm concerned deeply about. Awhile back there was a recall on the instrument cluster of the gmc Sierra 1500 (possibly othets on the list, im sure). I did wind up having the cluster replaced, there didn't seem to be any issues at the time. Now...the replacement cluster has gone haywire. I notice no issues with operations at this time. But the cluster doesn't register certain things or it fluctuates on and off, or doesn't read correctly at all. Is it possible that the replacement could have been bad as well?

(ELECTRICAL) AS AN ONGOING ISSUE, THE DASHBOARD GAUGES/INDICATORS (I.E. TACH, SPEEDOMETER, ETC..) WILL SOMETIMES NOT REGISTER UNTIL SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING (THIS COULD BE FOR UP TO MILES) IT HAS NOT AFFECTED VEHICLE PERFORMANCE TO DATE. (FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM) I HAVE BEGUN HAVING ISSUES WHERE IT GOES INTO "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC ATTEMPTS HAVE LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (PART OF THE THROTTLE BODY), TAC MODULE, OR APP ASSEMBLY (ACCELERATOR PEDAL). MOST LIKELY CAUSE MAY BE DUE TO THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, AS THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON "CRUISE CONTROL". HOWEVER, DUE TO THE INFERIOR DESIGN OF THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT ITSELF, THE MANUFACTURE HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT OR IF DESIGNED TO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLACE JUST THE TPS, BY RIVETING THE TPS TO THE THROTTLE BODY, AND MAY HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE THROTTLE BODY. I AM HAVING THE VEHICLE SERVICED FOR A COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR, AND WILL ELABORATE FURTHER UPON SUCCESSFUL REPAIR IF DESIRED. *TR

AFTER THE BRAKES WERE SERVICED, I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE BRAKES WERE PULSATING, WHICH WAS FELT IN THE PEDAL, AT LOW SPEEDS. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID DURING THE TEST DRIVE THAT THE ABS SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATING UNNECESSARILY. THEY THEN PUT IT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE FOR SOME REASONS.

WHEN THE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED, AGAIN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE, BUT DIDN'T PICK UP THAT THE SENSORS WERE FIRING. I'M DOUBTING IT IS COINCIDENCE THAT THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT RANDOM.

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

DT: THE CONTACT COMPLAINED ABOUT MANY DEFECTS WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUALLY HAD AN INACCURATE READ OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP BELIEVED THIS FAILURE COULD BE RELATED TO THE WIRING HARNESS. SINCE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM NO REPAIRS WERE DONE. ALSO, THE VEHICLE STALLED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE THE STALLING OCCURRED THE CONTACT PRESSED HARD ON THE BRAKES TO ELEVATE THE STALLING. HE BELIEVED THIS WAS DUE TO THE POWER BRAKES. THE VEHICLE STALLED ON OCCASION AND WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART. THE DEALERSHIP MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM W AND ALL ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. THIS INCLUDED REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP AND ELECTRICAL CONTROL MODULE. *AK

2003 GMC SIERRA 2500HD WITH DURAMAX DIESEL STARTED RUNNING ROUGH BECAUSE OF LOW FUEL. LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. PUT 4 GALLONS OF FUEL IN VEHICLE AND SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT FOR 08/02/05 WITH GUNN CHEVROLET SERVICE, SAN ANTONIO TEXAS. MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANY TROUBLE CODE. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE ADVISER BRIAN LECOURSE THAT THERE IS NO CALIBRATION OR STANDARD FOR LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON AND IT MAY COME ON WHEN VEHICLE IS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL. I FILLED UP THE VEHICLE WITH 25.2 GALLONS OF FUEL FOR A 26 GALLON TANK. THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT STILL WAS NOT ON AND THE DRIVER INFORMATION SYSTEM SHOWED 36 MILES LEFT TO TRAVEL. I WENT BACK TO GUNN CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FIXED. GENERAL MANAGER CHARLEY O'DANIEL SAID THAT THE PEOPLE THAT DESIGN THE VEHICLES ARE SMARTER THAN THE PEOPLE THAT FIX THEM AND THAT TECH LINE STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. CHARLEY O'DANIEL SAID NOT TO LET THE VEHICLE GET BELOW 1/4 FULL AS DAMAGE COULD OCCUR TO THE ENGINE FUEL PUMP. *JB

I HAVE A 2003 GMC SIERRA 1500. AT 1300 MILES, I LOST A FITTING THAT CONNECTS THE TRANSMISSION LINE TO THE RADIATOR FOR THE TRANNY COOLER AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS DESTROYED. A REBUILT TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN MY PICKUP. I NOW HAVE 32000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO "DOUBLE" SHIFT BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. I'VE HAD MY TRUCK IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES TO DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPRODUCE/FIND THE ISSUE. THE PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID WAS REPLACED ABOUT 4 DAYS AGO. THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL ACTING UP.

ON FEBRUARY 18, 2003 I PURCHASED A NEW 2003 TRUCK THE TRUCK CAME WITH THE SERVICE LIGHT ON. WHEN DRIVING THE 4X4 WHEEL LIGHT WOULD COME ON AS IF THE TRUCK WAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AFTER STOPPING AND SHUTING THE TRUCK OFF FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO FIX AT THIS TIME AND THEY GAVE ME A SERVICE BULLETIN, FILE IN SECTION:4-DRIVELINE AXLE BULLETIN NO:03-04-21-001 DATE: FEBRUARY, 2003. I WAS TOLD THAT IF I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE 4X4 ENGAGING ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING THE ONLY THING THEY COULD DO WAS TO DISENGAGE THE 4X4 WHEEL DRIVE AT THIS TIME.I NEED TO HAVE THE USE OF THE 4X4 WHEEL DRIVE AS I OWN A LARGE CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY AND USE MY TRUCK ALL DAY LONG ON JOBSITES. I LEFT THE DEALER NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT DAMAGING THE 4X4 UNIT EVEN MORE ON MY NEW TRUCK. SO TWO WEEKS LATER I WAS TIRED OF WORRYING, SO I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY DISENGAGED THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE SERVICE 4X4 WHEEEL LIGHT IS STILL ON AT THIS TIME. I ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GMC ON 3/27/03 #1-85090755. I HAVE NOT HEARD FRON THE DEALER IN ONE MONTH.

ON MAY 31ST, THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY EXPLODED SENDING THE PINON THRU THE HOUSING AND THE REAR AXLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP (PERRY CHEVEROLET, INC., COLUMBIA, MO)UNTIL 6-9-03. WHEN I ARRIVED IN BOZEMAN, MT ON 7-2-03 I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE WIRING. THERE WAS A FIRE WHEN I PLUGGED THE RV ELECTRICAL PLUG INTO THE TRUCK'S TRAILER PLUG. THERE WAS ALSO A BLOWN REAR TAIL LIGHT BULB. IN BOZMAN, THEY REPLACED THE COMPLETE WIRING HARNESS, THE TOW RECEPTACLE AND 2 FUSE KITS. IT WAS THE OPINION OF THE SHOP IN BOZEMAN (J.C.BILLION, GMC) THAT THE WIRING DAMAGE WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL FIRE AND DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY DAMAGE. ALTHOUGH GMC PAID FOR MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES AND FOR THE WARANTY WORK, I AM LEFT TO WONDER WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT AND JUST HOW SAFE AM I GOING TO BE IN THIS TRUCK? I SELECTED A TRUCK BIGGER THAN WHAT I NEEDED AT THE CURRENT TIME, THINKING THAT IF I REPLACED MY TRAVEL TRAILER IN THE FUTURE, I WOULD NOT HAVE TO TRADE TRUCKS ALSO.
