2007 GMC Sierra Problems

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. FOR FUTURE SAFETY ALL METAL BRAKE LINES ON TRUCK REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. FAILURE OCCURRED IN WORK PARKING LOT SO NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED DUE TO FAILURE.

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.

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.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, IGNITION WOULD NOT WORK AND AIR BAGS!!! *TR

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.

DRIVER DOOR. WON'T UNLOCK HAVE TO GET OUT OF TRUCK ON RIGHT SIDE , TOOK IT TO DEALER SAID IT NOT AND EASY FIX OVER 1200 DOLLARS TO REPAIR, LOOK ON LINE A LOT OF OTHER WHO HAVE SERRIA TK HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE LOCKING SYSTEM NOT WORKING, WITH THE DOOR NOT UNLOCKING HAS TO BE A SAFTEY ISSUE.
