I was at a stop light and heard a loud noise like a shotgun blast. I felt a concussion hit me in the chest. I thought I had been shot at, then thought I was possibly rear ended but nobody was behind me. I noticed the airbag light was on, the hazards were on and I couldn't shut them off, and the seatbelts were, and still are all locked. But no airbag deployed. There was a smell in the cab that vaguely smelled like a cross between gunpowder and ozone. It's fortunate that I was not at freeway speed.

2007 GMC SIERRA- Consumers writing in about the recall notice and repair of the Takata airbag. Consumer stated " I made an appointment with the dealer." " After waiting in a long line to check in. the serviceman told me that to replace the airbag they would have to remove the dashboard and it most likely will crack during the procedure and the replacement cost is at my expense. He also said that he is not aware of any problem resulting if I choose not to have it replaced. If you can guarantee that replacing the airbag will not crack the dashboard or that you will cover the cost of a new dashboard, I will be happy to honor the recall notice." Recall notice attached.

THERE SEEMS TO BE A RELAY PROBLEM IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRST PROBLEM HAPPENED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. THE TRUCK WAS PARKED. IT HAD NO POWER. IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER AND HAD NO INSTRUMENT PANEL. CHECKED FUSE BANK AND SWAPPED RELAYS AROUND FOR THE START RELAY. AFTER SWAPPING AROUND A COUPLE OF TIMES, IT CRANKED. IT RAN OK FOR THREE MONTHS. NEXT PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH MY WIFE DRIVING. WITH NO WARNING IT LOST POWER AND DIED. IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. AFTER TRIAL AND ERROR, I SWAPPED AROUND RELAYS FOR THE CRANK & RUN RELAY. IT STARTED. NOTE, I DID NOT REPLACE ANY RELAYS. I JUST SWAPPED THE OUT WITH OTHER RELAYS. WHEN SWAPPING RELAYS, THE OTHER FUNCTIONS WORKED AS WELL. THIS SECOND TIME WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT JUST DIED. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT WITH IT WORKING FINE FOR THE MOMENT.

WILL HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY, AS DESCRIBED BY OTHER GMC OWNERS. SEE SIMILAR ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS AT THIS ADDRESS: HTTP://WWW.GM-TRUCKS.COM/FORUMS/TOPIC/129454-MY-FIX-ON-MY-SILVERADO-ELECTRICAL-PROBLEM/?HL=STALLING SEE ALSO: NHTSA REFERENCE #10036550 TSB REFERENCE #PIT-4730A VEHICLE IS UNMODIFIED. THE ISSUE IS WITH THE BATTERY CABLES AND ATTACHMENT TO THE FRAME AND FUSE PANELS. AFFECTS A WIDE VARIETY OF GM AND CHEVY MODELS, AND SHOULD DEFINITELY HAVE A RECALL, AS THIS CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHAT HAPPENS IS : 1. TRUCK WILL BE RUNNING FINE, AS IT SHOULD. INTERMITTENTLY, WITHOUT WARNING WILL START HAVING DOOR LOCKS GO UP AND DOWN, ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, GAUGE CLUSTER RESETTING AND COMPLETE POWER LOSS TO THE ENGINE AND COMPONENTS (POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC.) 2. UPON SHUTTING OFF ENGINE EXPERIENCING FULL POWER LOSS. CANNOT CRANK ENGINE UNTIL POWER HAS BEEN RESTORED BY POPPING HOOD AND WIGGLING BATTERY TERMINAL CABLES. THE REASON WHY THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD HAVE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL, IS FIRST, WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS TRAVELING AT 80MPH. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO GUIDE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO USE BLINKER, POWER STEERING, OR POWER BRAKES. I HAVE COMMUNICATION WITH OTHER GM OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR RANGE, BUT AFFECTING MULTIPLE GM AND CHEVY MODELS. (ONE IS 2009 YUKON, DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUES.) I KNOW THAT THIS COMPLAINT HAS BEEN ISSUED BY OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. IT IS TIME FOR ACTION. *TR

DEALER ADVISES REPLACEMENT OF ALL BRAKE LINES AS ALL ARE SEVERELY CORRODED (ESTIMATED COST - $2,400). VEHICLE IS EXACTLY 5 YEARS OLD WITH NOT MANY MILES. USED IN CANADA IN THE SUMMER AND FLORIDA IN WINTER MONTHS. ONLY EXPOSURE TO SALT AND SNOW IS WHEN ENCOUNTERED ON TRIPS TO AND FROM FLORIDA. VEHICLE WAS UNDERCOATED AT PURCHASE. VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE, MOST CERTAINLY MUST HAVE BEEN FATALITIES GIVEN THE NUMBER OF REPORTS AND COULD HAVE BEEN US YESTERDAY OR WHEN TOWING 5TH WHEEL RV. *KB

WHILE STOPPING AT SLOW SPEEDS ON DRY ROADS MY ABS BRAKES KICK IN CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO TAKE LONGER TO STOP THAN NORMAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL ALSO DROPS TOWARD THE FLOOR CAUSING ME TO THINK I HAVE LOST MY BRAKES COMPLETELY. THIS HAS JUST STARTED,AND HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES. I NEVER NOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN TO ME CAUSING ME TO BE ON EDGE EVERY TIME I HAVE TO STOP. I READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH GM TRUCKS AND WENT AND SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR YEARS. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON CERTAIN MODEL YEARS,BUT MY YEAR TRUCK WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I ASKED HIM HOW IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT GM WOULD LET THE SAME PROBLEM GO ON NEWER YEAR MODELS WHILE FIXING OTHERS? HE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW. I ASKED HIM HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST ME TO HAVE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FIX MY TRUCK. HE SAID IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT PARTS WERE NEEDED TO MAKE THE REPAIRS,AND COULD COST ME ANYWHERE FROM $150.00 TO $2,000.00. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW GM CAN GET AWAY WITH CHARGING SOME CUSTOMERS TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF UNDER RECALLS IN THE PAST. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME I COULD PULL THE FUSE ON MY ABS SYSTEM AND THE PROBLEM WOULD STOP,OF COURSE DOING THIS WOULD MEAN I WOULD NOT HAVE ABS BRAKES ANY LONGER, OR I COULD WAIT AND SEE IF MY MODEL YEAR MAKES THE RECALL LIST IN THE FUTURE. WHEN I PAY GOOD MONEY FOR A SAFETY ITEM ON MY TRUCK,I EXPECT IT TO LAST LONGER THAN 42,000 MILES,AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE AND DRIVE A TRUCK WITH UNSAFE BRAKES HOPING IT WILL BE PUT ON THE RECALL LIST IN THE FUTURE. THIS PROBLEM NOT ONLY MAKES MY TRUCK UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY,IT ALSO MAKES IT UNSAFE FOR EVERYONE NEAR IT AS I DRIVE DOWN THE STREETS,AND HIGHWAYS. PLEASE DON'T LET GM GET AWAY WITH LETTING THIS SAFETY PROBLEM GO UNFIXED JUST BECAUSE MY MODEL YEAR TRUCK IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR

MY 2007 GMC SIERRA HAS FAULTY ABS SENSORS WHICH ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEED STOPS AND GREATLY EXTENDS THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLE. SEARCHING THE INTERNET USENET LIST IT SEEMS THAT A GOOD PORTION OF GM FULLSIZE PICKUPS AND SUVS HAVE FAULTY ABS BRAKE SENSORS WHICH ACTIVATE DURING LOW SPEED BRAKING. 1999 - 2007 VEHICLES SEEM TO BE THE MOST AFFECTED AND INCLUDE SIERRA, YUKON, SUBURBAN, AND SILVERADO TRUCKS. GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE FOR MANY YEARS AND HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE BUT FAILED TO ISSUE RECALL, THIS LEAVES THE OWNER STUCK WITH THE PROBLEM TO DEAL WITH ON THEIR OWN. *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW HEAVY DUTY 2006 1/2 TON PICKUP TRUCK. IT PRESENTLY HAS FIFTY THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED MILES ON IT. I JUST WENT TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND WAS TOLD THE IDLER ARM ON THE STEERING ROD WAS WORN OUT. WHEN I ASKED FURTHER QUESTIONS THE TIRE GUY SAID THIS WAS REAL COMMON IN GM PRODUCTS. I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT IS OK FOR NOW BUT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO. I AM 60 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED NEW AND USED VEHICLES ALL MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. IF THIS IDLER ARM ON THE STEERING SHOULD FAIL THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO CONTROL THE TRUCK. I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PERFECTLY. GM MUST BE PUTTING SUBSTANDARD IDLER ARMS ON THEIR STEERING TIE RODS FOR HEAVY DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS. I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES WITH OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. *TR

THIS IS A CONSTANT AND ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY OR ROAD AT SPEEDS ABOVE 15 OR 20 MPH THE FRONT SUSPENSION WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING BRIDGE EXPANSIONS, ANY SORT OF ROAD BUMP, MAN HOLE COVERS WITH MINIMAL EDGES, ETC. THE VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE SUSPENSION WILL THEN STOP AND NOT BE FELT DURING NORMAL SMOOTH HIGHWAY OR ROAD TRAVEL BUT RECURS EACH AND EVERY TIME ROAD BUMPS ARE ENCOUNTERED. THE SHAKING IS VIOLENT AND FEELS AS THOUGH THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR NOW. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE EXAMINED BY THE DEALER AND INDEPENDENT SHOPS AND THEY ALL SAY THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ALL LOOK INTACT AND IN GOOD SERVICE CONDITION. *TR

I OWN A 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 CREW CAB. I HAVE SOME ISSUES WHEN I START MY TRUCK IN THE MORNINGS, I GET A TAPPING NOISE AS IF THERE ARE LIFTERS STUCK OR NOT GETTING SUFFICIENT OIL. I HAVE ALWAYS USED THE RECOMMENDED AC OIL FILTERS THAT I PURCHASE FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP PARTS CENTER SO I KNOW THAT THE FILTER IS NOT THE PROBLEM. I AM A MECHANIC SO I KNOW WHAT AN ENGINE IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE. THE NOISE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE ENGINE WARMS UP WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MINUTES AND IS VERY ANNOYING. I AM CURRENTLY DEPLOYED TO KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN IN SUPPORT OF OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM AND SCHEDULE TO RETURN TO THE US IN LATE MARCH 2012. I SPOKE TO MY WIFE TODAY AND SHE SAID THAT EVERY TIME SHE START THE VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE NOISE IS THERE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD ANSWER MY QUESTION CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. I LIKE THE TRUCK BUT THE ENGINE NOISE HAS TO GO. LIKE I SAID BEFORE I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC FOR OVER 30 YEARS ON CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT AND AUTOMOTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR THE US ARMY. PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO GIVE ME A SHORT ANSWER TO TRY TO GET RID OF ME, I KNOW BETTER. THE CRANKCASE IS FULL OF OIL TO THE CORRECT LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK AND I USE THE RECOMMENDED 5W30 OIL. WHY AM I HAVING THIS ISSUE? NOTE: I AM DEPLOYED SO PLEASE DON'T TRY TO CONTACT ME BY PHONE. *TR

GM IS VERY AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND JUST REFUSES TO MAKE THE PROPER REPAIRS VOLUNTEERLY, BUT IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO PUT THE CUSTOMER THROUGH ALL KINDS OF BS. WILL START THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, TOMORROW. IF THAT FAILS THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY WILL TRY THE OIL SHIELD FIX AND IF THAT FAILS, THEY WILL REPLACE PISTONS AND RINGS. SEEMS LIKE A HUGE WASTE OF TIME WHEN THEY KNOW THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. *TT

#SB-10-06-01-008 (PROBLEM) I AM CONCERNED WITH OUR SAFETY DUE TO THE MECHANICAL MOTOR PROBLEM WITH THE CYLINDERS. GM WARRANTY # [XXX] I HAVE HAD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AND THEY ORDERED PARTS AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. WHEN BRINGING IT IN TO "PHILIPS BUICK GMC" FRUITLAND PARK FLORIDA, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET A COMPARABLE VEHICHLE IN EXCHANGE WHILE MINE IS WORKED ON. I GET THEIR AND THEY TRY TO GIVE ME A COMPACT SUV. I AM 6'2", 200LBS. AND DRIVE A 2007 4 DOOR SIERRA 1500 THAT I USE FOR MY COMMERCIAL BUSINESS EVERY DAY FOR WORK. THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS. I SHUT MY BUSINESS DOWN TO HALF OF WHAT IT WAS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD LOOSING MY TRUCK FOR A COUPLE DAYS TO WARANTY REPAIRS. I WAS TOLD I WOULD GET A FULL SIZED TRUCK OR SUV. I STILL HAVE TO HAUL PRODUCT FOR MY BUSINESS JUST TO KEEP IT 50% RUNNING FOR THOSE COUPLE DAYS. I ALSO HAVE 4, 200+LBS GUYS TO HAUL AROUND FOR WORK AS WELL, AND A SPECIAL NEEDS DAUGHTER WHO NEEDS THE ADITIONAL SPACE OF A FULL SIZED VEHICHLE. I PAID OVER $40,000 FOR MY TRUCK. ITS NOT MY FAULT THAT I HAVE A WARRANTY ISSUE AND IT HAS TO BE WORKED ON. SO MY BUSINESS, FAMILY, AND SELF SHOULDNT BE THE ONE WHO IS INCONVIENANCED FOR A GM WARRANTY ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. I SPOKE TO GM AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO RENT ONE MYSELF AND PAY MYSELF. THEY SAID THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE ME $35 DOLLARS A DAY FOR REIMBURSEMENT. WITH THIS HAPPENING GM IS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO WORK AND GET MY TRUCK FIXED AT THE SAME TIME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON APRIL 13 2014 MY TRUCK WAS LEAKING FUEL TOO BAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND COULD NEVER FIND WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM. THEN ON APRIL 13TH WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME I SMELLED GAS AND HAD TO PULL OVER, FRIGHTENED THAT THE TRUCK MIGHT CATCH FIRE AND EXPLODE. IT SEEMS THERE IS A LEAK AROUND THE FUEL TANK. I NOTIFIED GM AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD ONLY PAY FOR A PORTION OF THE REPAIR. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT STARTED ABOUT THE SAME TIME I STARTED SMELLING GAS WAS THAT THE KEY STARTED GETTING STUCK IN THE START POSITIOIN CONTINUALLY TURNING OVER THE STARTER. I THEN HAVE TO STRUGGLE FORCEFULLY TO GET THE KEY TO TURN TO THE OFF POSITION, FEARFUL OF CAUSING MORE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE OR POSSIBLY CATCHING FIRE.

THIS IS THE E-MAIL I SENT TO GM REGARDING THE PROBLEM WITH THE BACK SEAT AND HOW I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY DID NOT RESPOND TO MY E-MAIL SO BY THE 8TH DAY I CALLED AND THEY SAID THEY CLOSED THE CASE BASED ON WHAT THE DEALER SAID, "CONDITION DOES NOT REPRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD." I STRONGLY DISAGREED AND PURSUED IT FURTHER GETTING THE SAME ANSWER. HERE IS THE E-MAIL: I HAVE A 2007 SIERRA GMC WITH A BACK SEAT THAT HAS MOVEMENT (PLAY) IN IT DUE TO WHAT GM CALLS A "RATTLE CLIP" BREAKING. I QUESTIONED THE DEALERSHIP WHEN TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR A DIFFERENT REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS JUST A RATTLE CLIP. I HAVE CALLED GM REGARDING THE SAFETY ISSUE AND WAS GIVEN AN AUTHORIZATION FOR A COVERED DIAGNOSTIC ON THE TRUCK. AGAIN, THE DEALERSHIP SAID, "FOUND 2 SEAT BACK RATTLE CLIPS BROKEN. CONDITION DOES NOT REPRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD." I DECLINED THE REPAIR BASED ON THE FACT THERE IS NO KNOWN CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE OF THESE CLIPS EXCEPT FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THEY ARE CHEAP PLASTIC. I DO NOT FEEL REPLACING A PLASTIC CLIP WITH ANOTHER PLASTIC CLIP WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. IT WILL ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THEY FAIL AND THE SEAT HAS PLAY IN IT. I QUESTION IF THEY WOULD EVEN HOLD IN THE EVENT OF AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. WHEN STRAPPING IN A CHILD'S CAR SEAT THERE IS TO BE NO MOVEMENT IN IT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS. I DO NOT SEE HOW A BACK SEAT THAT HAS A 1 1/2 INCH OR MORE OF PLAY IN IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE A VIDEO I WOULD LIKE TO E-MAIL YOU SO YOU CAN DETERMINE THIS FOR YOURSELF. I AM REQUESTING THEY ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE SO MY FAMILY AND ANY OTHER PASSENGERS CAN BE SAFE WHILE RIDING IN MY GMC. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT ALTHOUGH THEY NAMED THIS PART A "RATTLE CLIP" IT SERVE MORE OF A PURPOSE THAN TO JUST STOP A RATTLE NOSE. IT SECURES THE BACK OF THE SEAT TO THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK SO THERE IS NO MOVEMENT. *TR

TOOK TO DEALERSHIP 06/29/07 THEY SAID DUE TO THE VEHICLE BUILD IT IS NOT EQUIPPED. SO AGAIN DRIVING AT NIGHT ON 07/04/07 HAD A PROBLEM WITH GLARE AND DISTRACTION FROM VEHICLE LIGHTS BEHIND ME, SHINING IN PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR. I HAVE A DISPUTE TO MAKE AND I BELIEVE IT IS SAFETY RELATED. I HAVE A 2007 GMC SIERRA CREW CAB WITH POWER FOLDING TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR REAR VIEW MIRRORS. ON THE DRIVERS SIDE THE GLASS AUTO DIMS, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IT DOES NOT. HOWEVER IT IS TO MY BELIEF GM HAS BUILT THESE TRUCKS THIS WAY TO SAVE MONEY. I ON THE OTHER HAND FEEL THAT IF THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE ONE SIDE AUTO DIM WHY SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE BOTH SIDES AUTO DIM, DUE TO THE FACT DRIVERS STILL GET BLINDSIDED AND DISTRACTED WHEN THERE ARE BRIGHT LIGHTS SHINING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR. I HAD A 2004 GMC SIERRA WITH BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE MIRRORS THAT DID AUTO DIM. MANY OF THE 2007 GMC SIERRA TRUCKS ARE BUILT THIS WAY AND I FEEL THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO THE DRIVER, NOT ONLY IS IT AN ANNOYANCE, NOT ONLY WITH A PERSON SUCH AS MYSELF HAS A SENSITIVITY TO BRIGHT LIGHTS AND GLARE AT NIGHT. I PROPOSE THAT GM BE CONTACTED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND A RECALL BE PERFORMED ON THESE PASSENGER SIDE REARVIEW MIRROR GLASS. THANK YOU . *AK

THE PRIMER PUMP HOUSING DEVELOPS A SMALL LEAK AROUND A ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. THIS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE AS FUEL DROPS ON THE ENGINE. GM IS AWARE OF PROBLEM IT HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IT ONLY OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS RUNNING. NOTE-NO FIRE HAS HAPPEN TO MY VEHICLE, NOR DO I KNOW OF A FIRE OCCURRING. I JUST BELIEVE THIS IS UNSAFE. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE PRIMER PUMP HOUSING.

WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE TRUCK WAS SANDWICHED BETWEEN TWO CARS, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AT 35 MPH., HE WAS INJURED. AFTER VEHICLE CAME BACK FROM BODYSHOP WITH $7000.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE FIXED, AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON. WE USE THIS TRUCK FOR OUR CONTRACTING BUSINESS, SO IS IT SAFE LIKE GM RECALL LETTER STATES? I CALLED GM BACK ON JULY 1ST, 2016, ASKED IF THERE WAS A TAKATA RECALL ON THIS TRUCK, I WAS TOLD NO. I TOLD THEM THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON SO WHY NOT RECALL BASED ON OTHER 2007 TRUCKS? PART 573 SAFETY RECALL REPORT GIVEN TO THE NHTSA BY GM CLEARLY SHOWS THAT ALL 2007 GMC SIERRAS WERE TO BE RECALLED IN AREA B, WHICH IS WHERE I LIVE.. HIGH HUMIDITY. MEMO WAS SUBMITTED MAY 27TH, 2016. I JUST GOT MY RECALL LETTER YESTERDAY, AUGUST 11TH. WHEN I CALLED GM TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT, AND ASK WHY THE DELAY, I WAS HUNG UP ON. I WANT JUSTICE FOR AIRBAGS THAT DO NOT DEPLOY WHEN THEY SHOULD.. WHAT ABOUT WE FOLK? THERE ARE MANY OF US.THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON< AND NOW THERE ARE NO PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. OUR MECHANIC SAYS WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE BAGS WILL NOT WORK. GREAT. NO RENTAL CAR FROM GM AND NO WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SHOULD WE NOT GO TO WORK? I DOUBT ENTERPRISE WOULD LIKE A CONTRACTOR TO USE THEIR RENTAL TRUCK AS A "REAL" WORK TRUCK LIKE WE DO.

MY DASH HAS LARGE GAPS/CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. THESE RANGE FROM THE WINDSHIELD ALL THE WAY THE FRONT PIECE OF TRIP. THE DASH IS COMPLETELY SEPARATED. RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH, AROUND THE AIRBAGS, AND THE OTHER SMALLER PARTS OR THE DASH ARE CRACKED TOO. I USE A SUN SHIELD, SO THAT IS NOT THE CASE. MY DAUGHTER AND I HAVE BOTH CUT OUR HANDS ON THE DASH. SHE WAS SO SURPRISED WHEN SHE GOT IN THE TRUCK THAT SHE ASKED IF I HAD A WRECK, AND THEN RAN HER HAND OVER THE DASH AND CUT HER PALM AD TWO FINGERS. I ALSO CUT MY HAND WHILE TRYING TO CLEAN IT SO THAT STUFF DOES NOT DROP DOWN THE CRACK, SUCH AS DIRT OR DUST, CAN'T THAT START A FIRE WITH THE WIRES AND THE HEATER DOWN THERE? ANOTHER THING IS MY VENTS DON'T WOK LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO. THE DASH IS SO BROKEN YOU CAN HEAR SOUNDS OF PLASTIC VIBRATING AND BLOWING IN THE VENTS. THIS DIRECTLY EFFECTS THE AIR FLOW TO, IT'S LIKE ITS NOT EVEN CONNECTED. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE GARAGE STATIONARY NOT RUNNING.

RESULTING IN NO POWER STEERING,NO ABS, AIRBAGS BECOME DEACTIVATED IN A STALL SITUATION TO MY KNOWLEDGE. MAKING IT VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE TRUCK IN ORDER TO GET IT OFF THE HWY/ROADWAY. STABILITRAK LIGHT, TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ALL STAY ON AND THE MOST RECENT LIGHT IS NOW THE ABS LIGHT. NOW IT'S TO A THE POINT OF HARDLY STARTING AT ALL. THE KEY HAS RECENTLY BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN AS WELL. ORIGINALLY THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD CYCLE MULTIPLE TIMES , AND INTERIOR LIGHTS DASH LIGHTS WOULD ALL CYCLE AT FAST RATE ALL AT ONCE. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED I WAS ALWAYS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY GET THE TRUCK TO START A SHORT TIME AFTER. ENGINE POWER REDUCED IS ANOTHER SPECIFIC WARNING THAT APPEARS NOW THAT IT'S NOW DYING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HWY. EACH INCIDENT WHEN THE TRUCK HAS STALLED IT'S BEEN WHEN DRIVING AT LEAST 60 MPH.OR MORE. NUMEROUS OWNERS OF GM VEHICLES ARE AND HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES FOR FAR TOO LONG WITH LITTLE BEING DONE FOR ALOT OF THESE OWNERS.

WE WERE ALSO INFORMED THE WAS ONLY A "TEMPORARY FIX, AND THE BCM DOESN'T FIX THE BREAKS." DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THE SECOND PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED,WHICH WE DECLINED, WOULD HAVE PERMANENTLY FIX THE ISSUE.

WHY IS GM RECALL 14121 LIMITED TO NEW VEHICLES? IT HAS BEEN A RECURRENT, COMMON PROBLEM SINCE LONG BEFORE 2000. LONG BEFORE I BOUGHT MY 2007 GMC SIERRA CLASSIC 2500HD WHICH IS ON THE THIRD REPAIR. I JUST REPLACED A TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE IN MY DRIVEWAY. TODAY. WHICH IS STEADILY ERODING BY WAY OF CONTINUOUS TRANSMISSION COOLER LEAKS. IT CONTINUOUSLY COATS THE UNDERSIDE OF VEHICLE, REDUCING LIFE OF BELTS AND HOSES. GM DEALERS FEEL ITS NOT COVERED BY 5/100K POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, OR 36K BUMPER-BUMPER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT'S A LONG TIME GM PROBLEM AS WELL AS WARRANTIES IN GENERAL. *TR

70,000 MILES LOW OIL LIGHT COMES ON, JUST HAD MY OIL CHANGED 1000 MILE BEFORE. TOOK IN TO GM DEALER THEY TOLD ME OIL PAN GASKET WAS BAD. REPAIRED. 1000 MILES LATER LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP. NO ISSUE FOUND. TRUCK JUST BURNING OIL! *TR THE TRUCK KEEPS USING 2 TO 3 QUARTS OF OIL DEALER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. CALL GM THEY ADVISE TO GO TO DEALERSHIP AND DO OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. DID THIS TAKING IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP EVERY 500 MILES TO HAVE OIL CHECKED. USED 2-1/2 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. TOLD DEALER THIS WAS NOT NORMAL TO FIX MY TRUCK. DEALER ADVISED GM WOULD NOT FIX MY TRUCK BECAUSE THIS IS NORMAL USAGE. IT IS NOW USING ABOUT 3 QUARTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. GM TOLD ME TO GO BACK TO DEALER TO HAVE ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE. WE SEE THEY HIDE PROBLEMS WELL, AS WAS THE LAST RECALL. HOW ABOUT GETTING THEM TO ADDRESS OR FIX THIS ISSUE. THEY ARE STILL ADVERTISING THE AFM ENGINE , AND RAISING THE NORMAL OIL USAGE FROM A QUART TO 2 QUARTS. AS ANYONE CAN SEE WITH THE LATEST RECALLS THEY WILL HIDE OR NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR BOTTOM LINE. NOT THE CUSTOMER. SEE HOW MANY CHANGES AND SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED DUE TO THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. MY GM CASE # 71-1118075589. THEY TEND TO CLOSE THESE CASE NUMBERS QUICK. AND THEN THEY ASSIGN YOU ANOTHER CASE NUMBER EACH TIME YOU CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE TO HIDE THE FACT THEY HAVE PROBLEMS. WHEN DEALER DOES OIL CONSUMPTION I FIND THEY DO NOT SHOW ANYTHING BACK TO GM OR ATTACH A RECORD TO YOUR VIN #. LAST COUPLE OF TIME I SPOKE TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY HAD NO RECORD OF ME EVER HAVING AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. AND MY LAST CASE NUMBER DID NOT SHOW UP IN THEIR SYSTEM. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO SEE THE PROBLEM IS "GOOGLE " GM 5.3 OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. YOU WILL FIND MORE THAN A FEW COMPLAINTS. *TR

ONE OF THE ELECTRICALLY POWERED, FOLDING EXTERNAL MIRROR ASSEMBLIES BECAME INOPERABLE ON MY 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 PICKUP TRUCK WHICH LED TO THE ENTIRE MIRROR ASSEMBLY BECOMING LOOSE. THE RESULT WAS THAT THE MIRROR ASSEMBLY WILL SLIGHTLY MOVE BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO ERRONEOUSLY SENSE MOVEMENT OF HIS VEHICLE OR ERRONEOUS MOVEMENT OF AN ADJACENT VEHICLE. THIS FALSE SENSING OF VEHICLE MOVEMENT IS VERY DISTRACTING, CAUSING A DRIVER TO LOSE FOCUS ON THE ROAD AND TO LOSE FOCUS ON THE OPERATION OF HIS VEHICLE. THE CONDITION IS DISTRACTING ENOUGH THAT IT MAY, IN SOME DRIVERS, INDUCE VERTIGO WHICH COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##

THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF IF YOU PRESS THE BRAKE AND THEN SLIGHTLY DEPRESS THE PEDAL, ALTHOUGH THE BRAKES ARE STILL APPLIED THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON. I FIRST NOTICED IT WHILE BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY AT NIGHT, AND I DID NOT THINK IT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN UNTIL I SAW MY WIFE STOP FROM 45 MPH AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS FLASHED AND THEN TURNED OFF UNTIL SHE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY THOUGHT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK, AND REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. THE SAME DEFECT IS ON EVERY TRUCK ON THE CAR LOT. THE DEALERSHIP WROTE ON MY INVOICE THAT THE OWNER PRESUMES THAT WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS SHOULD BE ON. DUH!! *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 PICKUP FROM LONE STAR PONTIAC BUICK GMC IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS ON 11/18/06. ONLY AFTER BEING PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING DID I REALIZE THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT CALIBRATED CORRECTLY AFTER THE DEALERSHIP HAD INSTALLED AN AFTER-MARKET LIFT KIT AND LARGE TIRES AND WHEELS ON THIS TRUCK. I DISCOVERED BY CALLING ANOTHER GM DEALER THAT BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT CALIBRATED CORRECTLY IT CAUSES THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE DEALERSHIP WILLFULLY AND WITHOUT REGARD TO THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS SOLD VEHICLES LIKE MINE THAT HAD BRAKE SYSTEMS THAT DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE GENERAL MANAGER CONFIRMED THAT THEY HAVE SOLD MANY TRUCKS LIKE THIS SO IT IS REASONABLE TO ASSUME THERE ARE MANY TRUCKS ON THE ROAD NOW WHICH MAY HAVE FAULTY ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMS. I AM CONCERNED FOR EVERYONE ELSE THAT PURCHASED ONE OF THESE TRUCKS AND AREN'T AWARE THEIR BRAKES DON'T WORK RIGHT. THE GENERAL MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE SPEEDOMETERS CAN NOT BE CALIBRATED CORRECTLY. *JB
