2006 GMC T Series Problems

Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I PAID 25K FOR THIS 2006 GMC SIERRA TRUCK WITH 8600 MILES, PURCHASED FROM TEXAN CHEVEROLET IN HUMBLE, TX JULY 4TH 2006. NOTICED IT ABOUT 6K TO 7K MILES. CLUNK NOISE DRIVERSIDE UNDER HOOD. NOTICE NOISE WHILE BACKING OUT, GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS OR IN TRANSIT AT A SLOW SPEED. ALSO NOTICED A CLUNK COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND THEN STOPPING. WAS READING UP ON IT AN CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT'S PROBABLY MY SLIP/YOKE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
