DT*: THE CONTACT STATED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE POWER WINDOWS FAILED TO POWER UP. UPON INSPECTION THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY FAILED. THE CABLES FRAYED DUE TO RUBBING AGAINST THE SLIDER MECHANISM. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 6/23/2006 - *NM
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ENGAGED IN RAINY WEATHER, THE WIPERS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY A DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHO DETERMINED THE BOLTS ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER ARMS NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED, WHICH REMEDIED THE PROBLEM.
I PURCHASED A 2000 GMC SIERRA 1500 2WD EXT CAB PICKUP AND TOOK DELIVERY ABOUT 12-23-1999. I REQUESTED CAMPER MIRRORS AND THE PASENGER SIDE CAME WITH REGULAR GLASS, WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE IN THE BLIND SPOTS . GM WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH LATER THE NEWER MODELS CAME WITH A SMALL CONVEX MIRROR IN THE UNIT. THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE TRUCK NOW CALLS FOR THE CONVEX MIRROR BUT GM INSISTS THAT THE ONE I GOT WAS OK. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET GM TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM? *AK
MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW ROLLS DOWN VERY SLOWLY. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL 1999 GM TRUCKS AND UP WITH POWER WINDOWS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *LA
THE ACCELERATOR HAD STUCK, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED, THE FLAPS ON THE FENDER AND THE DOOR TRIM HAD FALLEN OFF, THE BACK WINDOW LEAKED, THE HEAT SHIELD WAS BELIEVED TO HAVE CAUSED A VIBRATION IN THE DASH-PER SERVICE DEALER, THE COOLANT LIGHT STAYED ON, THE A/C HAD TO BE REPAIRED TWICE, AND THE ROTORS VIBRATED. *JB *SCC
PASSENGER'S SIDE MIRROR IS UNSAFE, COULD BACK INTO SOMEONE. CONSUMER THINKS HE IS FURTHER AWAY FROM OBJECTS THAN HE REALLY IS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK
DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW DOES NOT ADJUST SUFFICENTLY TO ELIMINATE BLIND SPOT, MIRROR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. NEW MIRROR WORKED THE SAME. DEALER SAYS THAT IS THE WAY THEY ALL ARE. I AM AVERAGE SIZE. THIS WOULD BE WORSE WITH TALL DRIVERS.
FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT RETRACTOR IS LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW MAKES NOISE WHEN ROLLING DOWN DUE TO REGULATOR ASSEMBLY FAILURE, ALSO THE CENTER CONSOLE WOULD NOT OPEN. *YH
REAR GLASS FRAME CRACKED FROM FACTORY AND REPLACEMENT FAILED TWICE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH FLAT GLASS NOT THE SLIDING GLASS I ORDERED FROM THE FACTORY .BOTH SIDE QUARTER WINDOWS HAD WIND NOISE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.S
I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH WITH ALL WINDOWS SHUT AND MY AIR CONDITION ON WHEN MY DRIVERS SIDE EXT-CAB WINDOW JUST BLEW RIGHT OUT OF THE TRUCK. THE LATCH THAT HOLDS THE WINDOW SHUT HIT ONE OF THE KIDS IN THE HAND AND ENDED UP IN THE PASSENGER SIDE POCKET. THE WINDOW HIT THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK THEN ENDED UP SHATTERING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH TRAFFIC TRYING TO AVOID THE BROKEN GLASS AND ME PULLING OF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WONDERING WHAT HAPPEND. THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT, AND THE LATCH COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY TO A CHILD IF HIT IN THE FACE. THANKS JEFF. *AK
BRAKES DO NOT GRIP AS WELL AS THEY USED TO, WHEN USING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE TAKES A LONGER DISTANCE TO STOP. *SLC
REAR WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO WIND NOISE. NLM
WHILE DRIVING THROTTLE STICKS WHICH MAY CAUSE VEHICLE TO SKID AND RESULT IN A CRASH. DEALER CANNOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK
