2004 GMC Sierra 2500 Problems

Brakes lines failed under truck do to rusted out lines

EMERGENCY BRAKES DON'T ENGAGE

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER GAUGES DON'T ALWAYS WORK. WE WERE ON FREEWAY WHEN WE NOTICED SPEEDOMETER HAD FAILED AS WELL AS FUEL GAUGE , TEMP GAUGE ALL GAUGES INOPERATIVE. THIS IS THIRD TIME CLUSTER PANEL IS BEING REPLACED; FIRST TWO UNDER WARRANTY THIRD TIME WE HAD TO PAY $204.

MY VEHICLE HAD BRAKE LINES REPLACE TWO TIMES WITH LESS THAN 65,000 MILES BECAUSE BREAKS STOP WORKING. FUEL LINE REPLACED UNDER 55,000 MILES BECAUSE IT MADE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON SPEEDOMETER ERRATIC,OIL PRESSURE GAUGE HIGH AND LOW,FUEL GAUGE ERRATIC UNDER 65,000 MILES. LOUD NOISE FROM ENGINE SERVICE TECHNICIAN REPORTED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAS BROKEN TO CALL A WHITE SMOKE FROM THE MOTOR. EVERYTHING HAPPENED WITH CONSIDER TO BE LOW MILEAGE IN TALKING TO GM THEY DON'T CARE BECAUSE ENOUGH REPORT HAS NOT BEEN MADE.

WHILE DRIVING OVER 50MPH ON THE HIGHWAY I GET A VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE ENGINE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BAKE AND FORTH. THE ENGINE SOUND VERY LOUD WHILE ITS DOING THIS. IT ONLY OCCURS WHEN I AM AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED A LOT OF WHITE SMOKE EMERGING FROM THE TAIL PIPE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY BY GWATNEY BUICK GMC (5700 LANDERS RD, NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR 72117) FOR THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN AN UNKNOWN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THE FUEL INJECTORS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED FOR THE RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A MASSIVE OIL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE DEFECTIVE, WHICH FILLED THE CRANKCASE FULL OF FUEL AND WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED PER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY; HOWEVER, IT FELL OUTSIDE OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, INCREASING THE RISK OF AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS THE FUEL LINES NEEDED REPLACEMENT AS THEY HAD RUSTED SO BADLY THAT A LEAK FORMED. YESTERDAY WHILE PULLING MY 10,000 POUND BOAT, MY BRAKES SUDDENLY FAILED BECAUSE OF A LEAK IN THE LINE BETWEEN THE ABS BOX AND THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE NEARLY CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND BOAT. I WAS ABLE TO DOWNSHIFT AND USE BY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO BRING THE RIG TO A STOP.

DURING COLD MORNINGS (WISCONSIN) I START MY TRUCK AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING AND SOFT BRAKES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE POWER STEERING RUNS THE BRAKE BOOST. ALSO, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SAYS THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH LOW/COLD TEMP FLUID. MY CONCERN IS WHAT HAPPENS IF I LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHILE I AM DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASH INTO A FIRE HYDRANT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THERE WERE ANY INJURIES SUSTAINED.

THE VEHICLE BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AND VEERED FROM THE RIGHT LANE TO THE CENTER MEDIAN BEFORE STOPPING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

ALL THE FLUID LINES CORRODED TO THE POINT WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH ONLY 35000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT. *TR

I THINK I NEED OUT SIDE COUNSEL AND ENGINEERING FIRM TO TEST AND TESTIFY ON MY BEHAVE AND 2,300 OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WANT NEW VEHICLES AND SETTING UP A DATE WITH CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, AND NHTSA REVIEW MY CASE. I HAVE MET WITH CONGRESSIONAL PANEL INVESTIGATING GM THAT WANT TO HELP ME RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I BEEN A GM PERSON BUT SERIOUSLY LOOKING IN THE FOREIGN MARKET IF I HAVE NO SERIOUS RESOLUTION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 GMC SIERRA WITH MY CAR SEAT WARMERS ON. I SUFFERED 1ST AND 2ND DEGREE BURNS TO MY BACK FROM THE CAR SEAT WARMERS. I HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES. THE PAIN WORSENED, AND I IMMEDIATELY SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION. I REPORTED THIS TO GMC CLAIMS ON THE SAME DAY. I HAD PICTURES TAKEN OF MY BACK ON THE DAY OF THE INJURY, AND 2 DAYS LATER. GMC CLAIMS ON FEB 26TH TOLD ME MY CAR SEAT TEMPS (RAYTECH 120.1 F WITH LEATHER ON; 170 F WITH LEATHER OFF) ARE WITHIN NORMAL RANGE AND THIS CLAIM DOES NOT ACTUALLY EVEN NEED TO BE SETTLED BY GMC. THESE TEMPERATURES WERE TAKEN BY GMC'S INVESTIGATION SPECIALIST. I WITNESSED THE INVESTIGATION. I SPOKE TO A FORENSIC ENGINEER ON MARCH 5, 2010, WHO STATED THE TEMPERATURES READ FROM THE RAYTEC ARE INACCURATE AS THEY WERE NOT DONE DURING COMPRESSION OF THE CAR SEAT TO SIMULATE SITTING IN THE SEAT. THIS FORENSIC ENGINEER INFORMED ME THAT THE ACCURATE TEMPERATURES WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER . I HAVE NOT TRIED THE SEAT WARMERS SINCE MY INJURY, BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO INCUR FURTHER INJURY OR POSSIBLY WORSE, SUCH AS A FIRE HAZARD. AT THIS POINT, THE CLAIM IS ONGOING. I AM VERY UPSET WITH GMC AND THEIR HANDLING OF THIS CLAIM. IT SEEMS THAT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY ARE BEING DISREGARDED. *TR

SPEEDOMETER HAS FAILED. DOES NOT RECORD SPEED ACCURATELY - SIGNIFICANT VARIATION (30 MPH OR MORE) FOR 10-15 MINUTES, THEN DROPS TO ZERO.

ALLISON TRANSMISSION HOUSING FAILED AT 54,000 MILES. GM PAID PARTS, I PAID 1,200.00 LABOR , WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS 2 BULLETINS OUT ON DEFECTIVE HOUSING AND WHEN THEY FINISHED REPAIR THEY SAID THEY INSTALLED UPDATED HOUSING SO I WOULD NOT HAVE PROBLEM AGAIN. DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE PAID ANYTHING TO HAVE IT REPAIRED! AT 105,000 MILES TRANSFER CASE FAILED , COST 1,150.00 TO REPAIR, HAVE HAD TO TAKE BACK 2 MORE TIMES AS REPAIR WAS NOT DONE RIGHT. AT 112.000 MILES SPEEDOMETER BECAME ERRATIC WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ,AND SEE ON COMPLAINT SEARCH IT IS , CONSIDER THIS A GREAT SAFETY DANGER AS I DO NOT KNOW WHAT SPEED I'M GOING CAN ONLY GUESS NOT FIXED YET FOUND SOME WHO SELLS REBUILT ONES FOE 150.00 ,SAID THEIR REBUILDING THEM DUE THE LARGE NUMBER THAT ARE FAILING. ALSO AT 112,000 MILES PARK NEUTRAL SWITCH STARTED ACTING UP ,CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON ,SHIFT BAR LIGHT GOES AWAY, TRUCK WON'T SHIFT PROPERLY AND STAY IN CERTAIN GEARS WITHOUT SHIFTING UP ,EFFECTS DOOR LOCKS. LOOKED UP PARK NEUTRAL SHIFT AS PART AND CAME ACROSS BULLETINS STATING THAT DURING LEFT HAND TURN FRONT TIRE SPRAYS WATER ONTO PARK NEUTRAL ,SWITCH CAUSING PROBLEM ,NEEDS FRONT & REAR SHIELD INSTALLED TO SOLVE PROBLEM. HAVE TAKEN TRUCK BACK IN WAITING FOR INFORMATION. ALSO AROUND 90,000 MILES HAD VERY HARD TIME STARTING TRUCK AND TRUCK RAN POORLY,PROBLEM BECAME WORSE TOOK IN, FUEL INJECTORS WERE BAD AND WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 112,000 MILES NO NEED TO SAY I'M NOT A GMC FAN ANYMORE , EVEN THOUGH I LIVE IN LANSING MI ( A GM TOWN)AND HAVE LOTS OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY EMPLOYED THERE. GOOD BY GMC! NEVER AGAIN. *TR

MY IGNITION ALSO SWITCHES OFF DUE TO THE KEY CHAIN BEING TO HEAVY, I WOULD LIKE MY VEHICLE FIXED AS WELL. I THINK GM IS NOT TELLING THE WHOLE STORY ON HOW MANY VEHICLE ARE AFFECTED BY THE IGNITION SWITCHES. I CAN PROVE MY CLAIM BY ATTACHING MY TWO KEY CHAINS TOGETHER AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AGAIN. *TR
