The contact owns a 2007 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that after the dealer serviced the front passenger’s side air bag inflator under recall, the passenger’s side air bag warning light failed to illuminate with a passenger seated in the passenger’s seat. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with a code reader, which showed an incorrect installation of equipment code. The dealer was made aware of the failure and diagnosed the vehicle with Sensing Diagnostic Module (SDM) sensor failure. The dealer informed the contact that the Sensing Diagnostic Control Module needed to be reprogrammed or replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 176,000.
I was informed that the passenger side air bags had a recall ,so I'm following up on this.
THERE HAS BEEN AN AIRBAG RECALL AND EVERY TIME I CALL THE GM DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE NO PARTS. ARE THEY HOPING I WILL WRECK OR SELL THE VEHICLE BEFORE THEY ARE REQUIRED TO PAY TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AND LIFE-THREATENING AIRBAG?!!

CRACKED DASH. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE LAWSUIT UNTIL RECENT. MY DASH HAS BEEN CRACKED SINCE 2013 AND HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES ON.
I RECEIVED AN AIRBAG RECALL ON MY GMC SIERRA SLT PICKUP TRUCK ON MAY 27,2016. I AM SITTING HERE FOUR YEARS LATER ON JUNE 15,2020 AND STILL NO REMEDY! I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERS AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL ME. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING THEM PERIODICALLY THE WHOLE 4 YEARS. I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN WHO RIDE ON OCCASION IN THIS VEHICLE AND I FEAR FOR THEIR SAFETY. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET A FIX??!! I OWN TWO OTHER VEHICLES NOT GM PRODUCTS. ONE WAS FIXED IN 2 WEEKS, THE OTHER IN ABOUT A MONTH. THIS IS PATHETIC! WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT. EASY TO SEE WHY FORD F150 OUTSELLS GMC/CHEVY AND RAM AND TUNDRA ARE CLOSING THE GAP. I DO FEEL SORRY FOR THE SERVICE MANAGERS WHO KEEP HAVING TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR AN INEPT CORPORATION. NEEDLESS TO SAY YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME OR MY FAMILY IN ANOTHER GENERAL MOTORS SHOWROOM OR VEHICLE. *TR

*TAKATA RECALL * REALIZING MY TRUCK IS ONE OF MANY GM VEHICLES INVOLVED IN A " PRELIMINARY RECALL" WHICH HAS BEEN PROCRASTINATED REPEATEDLY AT THIS POINT . NOT SURE WHY EXACTLY THEY (GM)HAVE FAILED TO PROVE OTHERWISE TO NHTSA BY THEIR GIVEN DEADLINES..THAT THESE SPECIFIC VEHICLES ARENT AFFECTED LIKE ALL THE OTHERS INVOLVED. WHICH HAS SAID TO BE THE " LARGEST RECALL IN US HISTORY ".. MY TRUCK HAS RECENTLY (4/1/19) HAD THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" MSG APPEAR IN THE DIC ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. COMES ON AND CONTINUES TO STAY ON EACH AND EVERY TIME I START THE TRUCK UNTIL SHUTTING IT OFF . HAS CONTINUED TO DO THIS CONSISTENTLY EVERY SINGLE DAY AFTER 4/1/19. CAUSING ME TO BE EVEN MORE CONCERNED THAN BEFORE SINCE MY KIDS COMMUTE IN THIS TRUCK 7 DAYS A WEEK! I'VE MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I PUCHASED THE TRUCK BUT CAN'T GET AN APPT UNTIL 4/10/19 .I ALSO HAVE HAD THEM TELL ME A TIME OR 2 B4 THAT THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS TO FIX AND THEY CURRENTLY AREN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR /REPLACEMENT AT THIS TIME .. SO IM SURE I'LL GET THE SAME ROUTINE SPEECH AND BE SENT ON MY WAY TO ROLL THE DICE ON WHETHER MY AIRBAGS WILL BE SUITABLE TO DO THEIR JOB AND WORST CASE CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ME AND OR MY FAMILY. . DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO US OWNERS WHO SPEND SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO THIS MANUFACTURER /DEALERSHIPS (GM).

IS THERE A RECALL ON MY GMC PICKUP FOR THE AIRBAGS
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL COME ON AND NOT TURN OFF. I HAVE HAD IT AT THE MECHANIC FOR THIS AT LEAST 5 TIMES. IT HAPPENS WHENEVER IT RAINS OR THE WINDSIELD OR SOME PART GETS WET, LIKE A CAR WASH. AFTER DRYING OUT, USUALLY AT LEAST A FEW HOURS OF NO MOISTURE, THE WIPERS STAY OFF. TAKATA RECALL - IT'S BEEN AT LEAST 3 YEARS AND THIS IS A TRUCK I'VE DRIVEN FOR A QUARTER OF A MILLION MILES - YET NO RESPONSE OR FIX AVAILABLE FROM GMC
"TAKATA RECALL " PARTS STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX MY TRUCK DEALER HAS NOT OFFERED ANOTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION TO ME. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN MY TRUCK DAILY SINCE IT IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO WORK AND TAKING THEM TO SCHOOL, SPORTS ACTIVITIES, STORE ETC. AND ALL OTHER PLACES I HAVE TO HAVE A VEHICLE TO GET TO. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY TRUCK WITH A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THATS BEEN RECALLED FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. ESPECIALLY WITH HAVING MY 2 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE 75 %OF THE TIME . PARTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE STILL AT THIS POINT GM SHOULD BE MAKING SURE I HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY CAN FIX IT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS NOW CAME ON AND OFF A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES NOW.
TRUCK RANDOMLY DOESNT START. NO CRANK NO START BECAME MORE FREQUENT AND HAS NOW DIED AT HWY SPEEDS 3-4 TIMES. 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.
RECALL NOTICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME CALLING FOR SERVICE TO THE AIR BAG. THERE ARE NO PARTS YET TO FIX IT. I BELIEVE THE COMPANY IS EVEN OUT OF BUSINESS. GMC WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO NOW? HOW SAFE IS IT TO DRIVE????

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.
I HAVE GONE TO LISTED DEALERS IN MANASSAS, VA. AND THEY WILL NOT FIX THE RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS.

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. PART HAD ALREADY BEEN PURCHASED AT $10 AND WAS GOING TO BE CHARGED BY DEALERSHIP $150 FOR THEM TO PROVIDE AND INSTALL. CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR ASSISTANCE TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. GMC CALLED TO INFORM US THAT AS A COURTESY AND THE APPROVAL BY THE MANAGERS AT DEALERSHIP, WILL BE ABLE TO GIVE A $2000 VOUCHER TOWARDS A NEW VEHICLE OR USED. CALLED DAYS LATER AS VOUCHER DID NOT COME THROUGH VIA EMAIL AND INFORMED UNFORTUNATELY VOUCHER AS THE VEHICLE MUST BE UNDER 100,000 MILE FOR TRADE IN. PER GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AT THIS TIME UNABLE TO RESOLVE CORRECTING THE SAFETY ISSUE WITH BODY MODULE CONTROL AND IT WOULD BE THE EXPENSE OF CUSTOMER TO REPLACE AGAIN AFTER ITS BEEN REPLACED A LITTLE OVER 7 MONTHS AGO.

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.

THE DASH BOARD OF MY VEHICLE HAS CRACKS IN IT. MORE AND MORE CRACKS ARE BEGINNING TO DEVELOP OVER THE AIRBAG. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING WITH SHARP PLASTIC PIECES POINTING AT IT. I THINK THIS IS A HAZARD TO ALL DRIVERS. EVERY GM TRUCK/TAHOE FROM 2007-2013 (THAT I HAVE SEEN) HAVE THESE UGLY AND DANGEROUS CRACKS IN THEM.

CANNOT USE SEAT BELT, BECAUSE SEAT BELT BUCKLE END WILL NOT FASTEN OR LOCK IN. TRIED TO LUBRICATE IT STILL WOULD NOT FASTEN OR LOCK IN. GOT OUT TRIED TO FASTEN STILL WOULD NOT LOCK.
MULTIPLE CRACKS ON THE DASH BOARD. THE EDGES OF THE PLASTIC ARE VERY SHARP AND COULD BE HAZARDOUS IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. THE FIRST CRACK APPEARED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ON THE JUST ABOVE THE AIR BAG. IT IS NOW CRACKING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE HAD CHUNKS OF PLASTIC FALL OFF WHILE DRIVING AND THE FALL THROUGH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND STEERING COLUMN TO THE FLOOR.
CRACKED DASH OVER DASH BEZEL AND AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.
I HAVE CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD OF MY TRUCK. BOTH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSANGER. I'M AFRAID THAT IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT THAT PEICES OF THE PLASTIC COULD HARM ME AND MY GRANDCHILD. ALSO COULD THE CRACKS GET BIGGER AND FORM A HOLE IN MY DASH? THAT DOES NOT SEEM VERY SAFE.
CRACKS AROUND AIR BAG IN DASH PASSENGER SIDE, SHARP PLASTIC PARTS COULD INJURE OCCUPANTS IN CASE OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS IS COMMON ON MOST 07 GM PICKUPS. THE DEALERS WILL NOT REPAIR THIS.. THE PLASTIC IS BRITTLE AND HAS SHARP EDGES.
METAL BRAKE LINES RUSTED PREMATURELY @ 29,900 MILES CAUSING BRAKE LINE TO RUPTURE. THIS CAUSED BRAKE FAILURE. TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED RUSTED BRAKE LINES.

I HAD A MINOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THEY WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I HAND MY VEHICLE TOWED TO SHOP AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED THRU IN THE BRACKET ON THE FIREWALL.
AS TRUCK WAS STARTED AFTER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND BEING PULL OUT OF GARAGE ON11/10/15 THERE WAS A FIRE UNDER THE FRONT OF TRUCK. WHEN THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED, THE MECHANIC SAW THAT THE WIRING WAS EXPOSED DUE TO CONTINUOUS SCRAPING AGAINST TRUCK FRAME.
RUSTY BRAKE LINES LOST BRAKES, THINK THAT A VEHICAL SHOULD GO 10 YEARS WITHOUT BRAKE LINES RUSTING AWAY I WAS LUCKY WHEN THEY BROKE I WAS HOME BUT JUST GOT BACK FROM ANOTHER STATE AND WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.
UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS BAD AT 88K. BOUGHT FROM DEALER OCT 2015, FULL ENGINE REPLACEMENT JANUARY 2016 AT 87K
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.
TAKATA RECALL DASH CRACKING OVER INSTRUMENT COMPARTMENT AND AIR BAG INSIDE DOOR HANDLES CITING FINGERS. KEEP TRUCK IN CARPORT WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE IS ALWAYS COVERED.
RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINE AT 72000 MILES. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE I AM THE ONLY ONE. ITS A SHAME GM DOESN'T MAN UP AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM OF RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINES. LUCKILY I WAS IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE WHEN IT FAILED AND NOT RUNNING DOWN THE ROAD PULLING MY 4000 LB. BOAT. AND YES I HAVE READ ALL THE INFO ONLINE ABOUT THE NHTSB INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM AND LET GM OFF THE HOOK BY SAYING OWNERS SHOULD WASH THEIR CARS TO REMOVE THE ROAD SALT THAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. I GUESS FORD AND DODGE OWNERS CRAWL UNDER THEIR TRUCKS IN THE WINTER AND DO THIS AS THERE WAS NO INVESTIGATION ON THEM. BY THE WAY I LIVE IN TN WHERE WINTERS AREN'T THAT BAD. AND ONE OTHER THING WHAT MARKETING BUZZ SAW DECIDED IT WOULD BE BETTER NOT TO HAVE A SPLIT BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR SO AT LEAST I WOULD HAVE 1/2 OF MY SYSTEM, HAD NO BRAKES FRONT OR REAR BECAUSE OF THIS.
ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE. FAILED TO START. WHEN TURNING THE IGNITION, ACTED AS IF THERE WAS A DEAD BATTERY. ATTEMPTED TO START AGAIN, BURNING SMELL AND SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COVER.

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.
DASH CRACKING BY AIR BAG
THE FRONT DASH ON OUR TRUCK CRACKED. IT IS A VERY LARGE CRACK AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY SINCE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED INSIDE THE DASH. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE ALL THAT IS OFFERED IS A DISCOUNT ON THE EXACT SAME DASH THAT WILL DO THE EXACT SAME THING. PLEASE FORCE GMC INTO A RECALL!
THERE ARE CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAG. I'M CONCERNED THIS MAY BE A SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD SEND SHRAPNEL IF AIRBAGS DEPLOY LIKE THE RECENT TAKATA RECALL. IT STARTED WITH ONE SMALL CRACK AND HAS DEVELOPED INTO THREE ACROSS THE DASHBOARD. THE LARGEST AROUND TEN INCHES LONG. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PREVALENT ISSUE WITH THIS AND SIMILAR GM MAKES AND MODELS BUT I DID NOT FIND A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE. I CONTACTED GMC AND THEY DO NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY.
NOTICED A PUDDLE OF FLUID ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. INVESTIGATED AND FOUND IT TO BE BRAKE FLUID. THE ENTIRE RESERVOIR EMPTIED ON THE FLOOR AFTER A DAY. I HAD A HOLE IN ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE. LOOKING UNDER THE TRUCK ALL THE LINE WERE TERRIBLY CORRODED AND COULD BREAK AT ANY TIME . TAKING IT TO MY MECHANIC NEXT WEEK TO REPLACE ALL THE LINES. 9/1/2015
DASH IS CRACKING AROUND AIR BAG LEADING TO SAFETY CONCERNS IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS WITH SHARP PLASTIC PIECES FLYING. I WILL INSTALL THE THIRD DASH IN THE TRUCK DUE TO THE CRACKING TO PREVENT INJURIES IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.
USES OIL..LOTS OF IT. AND WITH IT USING OIL SEEMS SLUGGISH..NO PASSING SPEED. BURNS 1 QUART EVERY 2000 MILES. LOTS OF OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH OIL CONSUMPTION AND EXCELERATION
OUR ENGINE STOPPED WORKING. HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP THEN ONTO A DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE MOTOR.
MULTIPLE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT FAILURES OVER THE YEARS WITH LOUD CLUNKING NOISES HEARD. THIS TRUCK IS LIGHTLY USED AND NOW HAS ONLY 24,000 MILES ON IT BUT IT HAS JUST HAD THE FOURTH SHAFT INSTALLED BY THE DEALER?!?! *TR
I WENT TO A LOCAL RECYCLE BUSINESS TO DROP OFF SOME CANS. UPON ENTERING THE BUILDING AT ABOUT 10 MPH, THIS GUY MOTION ME TO STOP AND WALKED IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. I HIT THE BRAKES AND THE PEDDLE ALMOST WENT TO THE FLOOR, BUT DID STOP. JUST MISSING THE GUY THAT WALKED IN FRONT OF ME. REALIZING THAT A BRAKE LINE BROKE AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP WASN'T FAR AWAY, I DROVE REALLY SLOW TO GET THERE. I LEFT IT OVER THE WEEKEND. MONDAY THEY FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINE THAT RUNS FROM FRONT TO REAR RUSTED AND BURST. $ 463. LATER I TOOK THE TRUCK HOME. AFTER CRAWLING UNDER THE TRUCK WHEN I GOT HOME, I NOTICED MORE BRAKE AND FUEL LINES WITH ALLOT OF RUST. I APPLIED SOME PAINT THAT'S SUPPOSED TO SLOW DOWN CORROSION. I'M GLAD I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY GRAND KIDS IN THE TRUCK. OR WORSE, THE FUEL LINES COULD BREAK. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE BRAKE AND FUEL LINES. HOW MUCH WOULD IT HAVE COST FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO HAVE INSTALLED STAINLESS STEEL LINES WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BUILT? I'M SURE IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN MUCH. I HOPE NOBODY HAS TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION. *TR

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.

AS I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH APPROACHING A RED STOPLIGHT I PROCEEDED TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, WITH NO BRAKING OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND AVOID COLLISION. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND THE HARD BRAKE LINE RUNNING TO THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL HAD RUPTURED CAUSING THE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID. THE LINE RUPTURED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WAS SEVERELY CORRODED AND UPON INSPECTION, THE OTHER HARD BRAKE LINES OF THE SYSTEM LOOKED SEVERELY CORRODED ALSO. ALL WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED! THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE HAD A VERY BAD CONSEQUENCES AT A HIGHER SPEED, CLOSER PROXIMITY TO OTHER VEHICLES, OR WITH A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER! *TR

I DRIVE A COMPANY TRUCK DURING THE WEEK AND MAKE A HABIT OF DRIVING MY SIERRA ONCE A WEEK AS WELL. I WAS GOING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY TO THE MAIN ROAD WHEN THE PEDAL FELL TO THE FLOOR. NO BRAKES WHATSOEVER. I USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO A SAFE STOP. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD TO REALIZE THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED AND HAD BLOWN A HOLE. THIS TRUCK IS NOT THAT OLD AND I DO NOT LIVE IN A NORTHERN STATE WHERE SALT CORROSION IS AN ISSUE. I BABY MY TRUCK AND KEEP IT UP. I LATER DID A SEARCH ON THE WEB AN FOUND OUT THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AS WELL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, THIS IS A BAD MATERIAL CHOICE FOR BRAKE LINES. GMC NEEDS TO REALIZE THIS AND RECALL ALL OF US AND INSTALL COATED, OR BETTER YET, BRAIDED/POLY-COVERED LINES TO MAKE SURE THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. WHAT IF I WERE TRAVELING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED AND HAD MY FAMILY IN THE CAR? I CAN SEE THEIR STAND ON THIS BEING A MAINTENANCE ISSUE, BUT I HAVE FRIENDS WITH EARLY 80'S AND 90'S MODEL TRUCKS THAT STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL BRAKE LINES IN THEM, NOT CORRODED OR RUSTED, AND STILL WORK GREAT. GET ON THE BALL GMC AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 FOR A FEW YEARS NOW AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. I NOTICED RECENTLY THAT THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. I HAVE NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE VEHICLE IS MOSTLY GARAGE KEPT. WHAT CONCERNS ME IS THE CRACKING THAT IS AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AND THE POSSIBILITY OF THE CRACKED PIECES BECOMING PROJECTILES IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY. ONCE I FOUND OUT THAT THESE CRACKS WERE PRESENT I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON TRAIT AMONG 2007-2013 GM TRUCKS. I HAVE SEEN PICTURES ONLINE ON THE GM TRUCK FORUM AND ON A DEDICATED FACEBOOK PAGE REGARDING MANY OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE VEHICLES WITH THESE CRACKS. SOME OF THEM EVEN OWN VEHICLES IN THE 20,000 MILE RANGE. I WANTED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION, AND LET YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WHICH COULD BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MANY GM TRUCK OWNERS. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. *TR

TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED ON MY PROPERTY AND THE TRUCK ENTERED INTO A "REDUCED POWER" MODE. WHICH CUT OFF ALL POWER TO THE DRIVE TRAIN. YOU WERE LEFT WITH NO ABILITY TO GO FRONT OR BACK. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTARTING IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. LOCAL GMC DEALER SAYS HE GETS ONE A MONTH FOR THIS CONDITION. COSTS TO REPAIR EXCEEDS A $1000. LOST OF POWER COULD HAPPEN ANY TIME. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC SIERRA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED AND THE ABS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR AND THE BRAKES WERE RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO ENGAGED. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE THE ELECTRIC BRAKE FROM THE HORSE TRAILER IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED. AS A RESULT, THE BRAKE CALIPERS ALONG WITH BRAKE LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.
2007 GMC SIERRA CLASSIC WITH APPROXIMATELY 54,000 MILES WAS BEING DRIVEN INTO A GARAGE TO HAVE WHEELS BALANCED. AS THE TECHNICIAN APPLIED THE BRAKES ENTERING THE GARAGE, THE BRAKE LINES ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE RUPTURED AND THE BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR. BRAKE FLUID POURED OUT ONTO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES BECAME COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED A FEW HOURS EARLIER IN THE DAY AS I WAS TRAVELING ON STEEP MOUNTAIN HIGHWAYS IN WEST VIRGINIA I HAVE NO DOUBT AN ACCIDENT AND PROBABLE FATALITY WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. ALL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN PERFORMED AT THE GM DEALER WHERE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED AND NO WARNINGS FROM GM WERE GIVEN THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE SHOWING ANY SIGNS OF WEAR OR THAT A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN. *TR
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

A DRIVER TURNED LEFT INTO ME AS I WAS GOING THROUGH A GREEN LIGHTED INTERSECTION. HE THOUGHT HE COULD MAKE IT. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN MY VEHICLE, SO I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THAT THE DRIVERS AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE IMPACT TOTALED MY TRUCK. THE CONTACT WAS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, SO MAYBE THAT IS WHY. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD REPORT THIS IN CASE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH GM AIR BAGS. *TR
IN MODERATE TRAFFIC, I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON GERMANTOWN PKWY. AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, THE LIGHT CHANGED TO RED AND I STOPPED THE VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS AT A DEAD STOP , I NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPING FROM 0 TO 10 AND THEN HIGHER.WITH NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER FROM INSTRUMENTATION, THE ENGINE STALLED. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR SIGNALS AT ALL. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER PLACING THE SHIFT LEVER IN PARK AND TURNING THE KEY. I THEN CONTACTED ON STAR, AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT AND ASKED FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY REPORTED "AN IGNITION PROBLEM" AND SAID I SHOULD SCHEDULE AN APPT WITH A DEALER. *TR
07 GMC SIERRA(NEW BODY STYLE) WAS PARKED. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS PLACED IN REVERSE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY TURNED THERE WAS A LOUD POP UNDERNEATH THE FRONT END.

THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INNER TIE ROD BECAME UNSCREWED FROM THE RACK STEERING. NEW INNER AND OUTER TIE RODS WERE INSTALLED AND THE TRUCK WAS RE-ALIGNED. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE IT MAY HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. *TR
I WAS DRIVING AND MY SERVICE AIR BAGS LIGHT HAS COME ON THE SCREEN AND IT IS STAYING LIT. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS NO FIRE. IT JUST CAME ON. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS A WHILE AGO. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF MY VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THIS RECALL? *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 GMC SIEARRA CLASSIC 2500HD WT AND MY BRAKE LINE FAILED. I WENT THREW THE STOP SIGN OUT ONTO A MAIN ROAD AND JUST MISSED GETTING T-BONED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. MY BRAKES ARE ALL UP TO DATE. BRAND NEW BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. I READ TONS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES BRAKE LINES RUSTING OUT PREMATURELY. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 32,164 MILES ON IT AND IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I GET COMPLIMENTS ON MY TRUCK EVERYWHERE I GO. I GOT NOWHERE WITH GM CORPORATE OR MARTY'S GMC IN KINGSTON,MA WHERE I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW. THEY ALL PRETENDED THEY DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THESE BRAKE LINES FAILING. THEY NOW USE A DIFFERENT COATED BRAKE LINE TO REPLACE THE CHEAPLY MADE BRAKE LINES AT THE CUSTOMERS EXPENSE. PLEASE MAKE GM DO A SAFETY RECALL ON THESE FAILING RUSTING BRAKE LINES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I WAS ALMOST NOT HERE TO TELL MY STORY.

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. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE TRUCKS DON'T HAVE A RECALL ON THEM!! *JS
VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, IGNITION WOULD NOT WORK AND AIR BAGS!!! *TR
I HAD A 2007 GMC SIERRA. THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THIS VEHICLE I'VE ASK WHY THE 5.3L MOTOR BURNS A QUART OF OIL OR MORE DURING OIL CHANGES. CONSTANTLY ASK MULTIPLE DEALERS TO INSPECT AND THEY CONTINUED TO STATE THAT'S JUST THIS ENGINE AND WOULD NEVER MARK PAPERWORK TO CHECK. ALWAYS STATED IT WILL BURN A LITTLE OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I CONTINUED TO BELIEVE THIS AS OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE TYPE TOLD ME SAME INFORMATION. ON OR AROUND FEB 7, 2014 ENGINE DROPPED CYLINDERS AND LOST MOST POWER TO VEHICLE WHILE ON INTERSTATE. I'M CONCERNED AS IT LOST POWER AND DRAMATICALLY SLOWED BUT ALSO THAT I'VE HAD A FAULTY PRODUCT SINCE BUYING AND NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. I MAINTENANCED THIS VEHICLE PROPERLY. AFTER TELLING ME THE COST TO REPLACE THE 2 CYLINDERS OR ENGINE I HAD A DECISION TO MAKE. THIS ENGINE SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT HAS MAJOR PROBLEMS. UNFORTUNATELY GM DIDN'T RECALL THE ENGINE AND FIX IT PROPERLY WITHIN MY WARRANTY TIMEFRAME. I EVEN BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY. NOW I'VE HAD TO BUY NEW TRUCK WHICH I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT IF ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING IN 2007 GMC TRUCK. THESE "ECO" ENGINES NEED TO BE REVIEWED. *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
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
I HAVE BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED I HAVE EMAILED GMC THAT I WAS HAVING ISSUE UPON DOING SO THEY HAD SENT ME A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL WHICH I TRIED AND IT SAID IT WOULD NOT LET ME FROM MY AREA I EMAILED THEM AGAIN AND THEY DID NOT REPLY. MY MASTER CYLINDER WENT OUT ON MY GMC SIERRA 1500 WT EXTENDED CAB AND I FOUND UPON REPLACING THE MASTER THAT THEY USED A 2006 MASTER CYLINDER ON WHAT THEY CALL A 2007 VEHICLE .. LOST THE BRAKES COMPLETELY NO WRECK. WHAT THEY DID DO WAS SEND ME A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATING MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WAS DUE TO EXPIRE HOW CONVENIENT FOR THEM. I TRIED HARD BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW DID THEY USE 06 ON MY 07 TRUCK TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENT PARTS IT IS IMPORTANT. NOW A FEW MONTHS LATER I AM NOTICING THAT UNDERNEATH THE DRIVERS SIDE THAT ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES IS STARTING TO LEAK I STILL ONLY HAVE 48000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE NO WAY NO HOW SHOULD THE LINES HAVE ROTTED OUT THIS EARLY OR CORRODED GMCS ANSWER IS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. BEING ON DISABILITY I WILL HAVE TO COME UP WITH CLOSE TO 300 DOLLARS TO REPLACE ALL THE LINES BEFORE THEY BLOW OUT AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHICH GMC DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE THAT THEY HAVE INSTALLED DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT PREMATURELY FAIL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL (IT WENT TO THE FLOOR) AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP. I LOST ALL NORMAL BRAKING ABILITY AND HAD TO STOP BY DOWN SHIFTING AND APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. WHEN I GOT THE TRUCK STOPPED AND GOT OUT, I FOUND THAT THE BRAKE FLUID WAS POURING OUT ONTO THE GROUND. A QUALIFIED MECHANIC INSPECTED THE TRUCK AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED THROUGH AND HAD RUPTURED. HE WENT ON TO TELL ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A FREQUENTLY OCCURRING KNOW PROBLEM WITH GMC PICKUP TRUCKS AND THAT GMC REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. *TR
WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AT A GREEN LIGHT ANOTHER VEHICLE ILLEGALLY ENTERED THE INTERSECTION.

THE CAR WAS REPAIRED OF THE DAMAGE FROM THE ACCIDENT BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE BRAKE LINE REPAIR. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK BACK I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP FOR AN ALIGNMENT WITHIN A FEW DAYS. WHILE THE REPAIR SHOP WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN FOR THE ALIGNMENT A SECOND BRAKE LINE BLEW. THERE IS NOT A RECALL FROM GMC AND THERE NO REASON WHY THE BRAKES LINES SHOULD BE RUSTING OUT AND BLOWING ON A CAR THAT IS WELL MAINTAINED. *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.

HVAC SYSTEM BECAME OPERATIONAL WITH THE IGNITION TURNED OFF FOR AN UNKNOWN PERIOD OF TIME WHILE THE TRUCK WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE.

UPON FINDING THIS HE FOUND THE MAJORITY OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE TO HAVE SEVERE RUST DAMAGE AN SEVERAL PARTS ALSO. *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
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
5.3 VORTEC WITH AFM IS NOW BURNING OIL AT THE RATE OF 1 QT EVERY 800-1200 MILES. THE MORE HIGHWAY DRIVING THE MORE OIL IT BURNS. 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

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

#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
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC SIERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERIOR DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BEGAN FRACTURING AND SHARDS OF THE DOOR HANDLE WOULD CAUSE LACERATIONS TO HIS HANDS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
I CONTINUE TO BE ANNOYED BY A CONDITION I EXPERIENCE WITH THE GMC VEHICLE I PURCHASED NEW THREE YEARS AGO. THE PROBLEM IS ONE THAT THE DEALER DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY FOR. THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OVERNIGHT OR WHEN IT IS PARKED IN THE SHADOWS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS NOT LIGHTED WHEN ONE DRIVES AWAY SOMETIMES FOR PERIODS OF UP TO THIRTY TO FORTY-FIVE MINUTES. THIS BECOMES PARTICULARLY IRRITATING IN THE CASE OF THE RADIO WHICH CANNOT BE READ FROM THE DRIVER'S POSITION. ONLY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE BRIGHT SUN FOR SOMETIMES AS LITTLE AS TEN AND OFTEN AS MUCH AS FORTY-FIVE MINUTES WILL THE DASH LIGHTS KICK IN TO WHERE THEY ARE EASILY READABLE. I FIND THIS CONDITION A POTENTIAL HAZARD IN THAT PEOPLE MAY BE STRETCHING TO READ THEIR RADIO OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY VIEW THEIR INSTRUMENTAL PANEL OTHERWISE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN ERROR. WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRIC EYE OR SIMILAR DEVICE IS IN THE SHADOW OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ASSEMBLY OR THE PILLAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHAT HAPPENS THEN IS WHEN THE ELECTRIC EYE IS IN FULL SUN, IT EVENTUALLY SEEMS TO FIND WHERE IT IS AT AND THE LIGHTING IN THE DASH IS INCREASED. IT SEEMS THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION MUCH IN THE WAY OF CELL PHONES, GM OUGHT TO BE MADE TO RECALL AND/OR OFFER A REMEDY TO THE CONSUMER. I FIND THIS COMMENT BEING MADE BY FELLOW OWNERS OF GMC AND CHEVROLET PICK-UP TRUCKS. THE PROBLEM THEN IS NOT ONLY MINE. HOW WIDESPREAD IS IT? *TR
I HAVE A 2007 GMC SIERRA THAT I FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT BEFORE BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHEN I HIT A SMALL POTHOLE.

I STILL HAVE VEHICLE WHILE GMC DECIDES WHAT THEY SHOULD DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM . REALLY? I HOPE THEY REALIZE WHY THEY NEEDED A BAILOUT. *TR

THIS IS A CONSTANT AND ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE.

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 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 WAS PULLED OVER BY MY LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR DEFECTIVE BRAKE LAMPS 3 TIMES. I HAVE GONE TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIPS AND THEY REPLACE THE SWITCHES 4 TIMES. I THEN GOT PULLED OVER AGAIN SO I BROUGHT IT TO LEMAY BUICK AND GMC IN KENOSHA WI. THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH 2 TIMES. WHEN YOU PUSH ON THE PEDDLE AND LET UP JUST A HAIR THE BRAKE LIGHT GO INOP. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE I COULD GET REAR ENDED AT ANYTIME WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS.

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 DID ALSO FIND IT STRANGE THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK WITH THE IGNITION OFF. FIRST VEHICLE I CAN RECOLLECT EVER SET UP THAT WAY. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR DOESN'T HAVE AUTO DIM. N A TRIP AND NOTICED PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR DOESN'T AUTO DIM 04/18/07 AND FROM THEN ON HAD ISSUE WITH MIRROR NOT AUTO DIMMING. 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

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
