IN THE SUMMER OF 2002 MY GMC SIERRAS PU TRUCK VIN [XXX] BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE BRAKE CHATTER AT VERY LOW SPEED. IT THEN BEGAN TO CONTINUE TO ROLL WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THIS PROBLEM BECAME MORE PRONOUNCED AND MORE PRONOUNCED AS TIME WENT ON. I HAD NUMEROUS VERY CLOSE CALLS WITH THIS TRUCK INVOLVING BUILDINGS, TREES AND OTHER VEHICLES. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM OVER A TWO WEEK PERIOD. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO BOWSER GMC IN PLEASANT HILLS PA. THEY REPAIRED THE TRUCK BY REPLACING THE FRONT HUBS AND SENSORS. WITH THIS REPAIR AND THE PREVIOUS COMPLETE BRAKE JOB INCLUDING BRAKES AND ROTORS THIS EPISODE COST MORE THAN $1400. AT THE TIME THE TRUCK HAD 36,000 MILES ON IT. ON 7/20/05 I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE BRAKE CHATTER RETURNING. JUST A SLIGHT CHATTER COMING TO A STOP AT RED LIGHTS ON INCLINES, THEN ON THE LEVEL AND FINALLY ON 7/23/05 I ALMOST CRASHED INTO MY HOUSE AS I PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY. THE SAME PROBLEM HAD RETURNED, THE TRUCK NOW HAS 47,000 MILES. IT APPEARS THAT MY $800 HUB REPLACEMENT WAS DONE WITH THE SAME FAULTY HUB ASSEMBLY. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS RETURNED ONLY IN LESS TIME. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THE BRAKES ON THIS TRUCK, I JUST RECENTLY AT 46,000 MILES HAD TO HAVE THE REAR ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED DUE TO RUSTED BRAKE PARTS. SO OVER THE COURSE OF 5 YEARS I HAVE REPLACED 6 BRAKE ROTORS, 6 SETS OF PADS, TWO HUBS AND TWO SENSOR ASSEMBLIES. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS WITH THIS TRUCK COMING WITHIN INCHES OF CRASHING INTO BUILDINGS AND OTHER CARS. AT TIMES I HAVE HAD TO THROW THE VEHICLE INTO PARK TO STOP FROM HITTING SOMETHING. I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND I AM DISGUSTED THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM SINCE I FIRST REPORTED IT IN 2002. THE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER FOR THIS TRUCK IS PE05020. *NM UPDATED 07/19/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
