Instrument panel stops working from time to time. My Guages go crazy. My rpm and speedometer mess up and can't tell how fast I'm going. This has been going on for a few years now. My airbag sensor light is on and was In a light wreck few months ago. Hit pretty hard on front end of truck and yet neither one of my airbags deployed.

The brakes , air bag, wheel hubs, lights, alignment, power steering. brakes coming to a stop instantly stops the vehicle. Air bag light comes on. Wheels hubs towed in from top. Light switch will not turn light off when driving. Alignment, steering wheel goes everywhere. Front tire getting wore out . Power steering leaking oil.

STARTED MY TRUCK AND THE FAILURE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAME ACROSS I PUSHED IN THE BOTTON THAT CHANGES IT AND CAME BACK ON THEN IT SAID TIGHTEN FUEL CAP WASHER FLUID LOW I HIT THE BUTTON AGAIN IT WENT OF BUT BATTERY LIGHT STAYED ON AND GAUGE READ ABOUT 10 VOLTS.MY TRUCK RAN FINE AND STARTED WHEN I GOT TO MY FIRST THEN AT THE SECOND STOP IT SAID THE SAME , I PUT IN REVERSE BACKED OUT PUT IT DRIVE AND THE CLUSTER QUICK WORKING THE AC QUIT YOU COULD ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN NOR DID THE LOCKS WORK AND IT DID NOT ANY POWER WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE GAS PED2 TO COME UP A HILL IT FELT LIKE IT SHIFTED WHEN YOU LET OFF THE PEDAL YOU COULD FEEL JERK, GO HOME TURNED IT AND WOULD NOT START OR MAKE ANY SOUND NOT EVEN THE CLICKING ON THE STARTER, SO I LEFT HOME AND CAME BACK ABOUT 4 HOURS LATER AND IT STARTED BUT THE VOLT READ ABOUT 10 VOLTS. I HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND IT TEST GOOD. THIS WAS ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2020 I HAVE PUT THE BATTERY BACK IN YET.

THE STEERING IS EXTREMELY LOSE WHERE I CAN TURN THE WHEEL ALMOST HALF WAY BEFORE IT TURNS THE TIRES. THE HEADLIGHTS MOVE CONSTANTLY AFTER BEING ADJUSTED AND MAKE IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE AT NIGHT. THE 4WHEEL DRIVE BOX IS CONSTANTLY THROWING THE TRUCK INTO 4WHEEL AUTO AND 4WHEEL LOW WITHOUT WARNING, WHATCHA IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ENTERING THE INTERSTATE

PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WILL NOT TURN ON. BOTH LOWBEAM AND HIGH BEAM DON?T TURN ON. BULB IS IN WORKING CONDITION, FUSES ARE NOT BLOWN, CAN?T SEEM TO FIND A SOLUTION. THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE VERY DANGEROUS WITH NO RIGHT SIDE VISIBILITY. UNKNOWN REASON BEHIND THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN BOUGHT NEW, BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH THERE IS A BOUNCING IN THE SUSPENSION. FIX WAS TO PLACE 400 LBS JUST BEHIND THE TAILGATE. I PUT 330 LBS ACROSS THE REAR AXIAL WITH GOOD BALANCED TIRES. BEEN THIS WAY SINCE 2005 AND IT'S A STUPID FIX.

THE PASSIVE ALARM SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING APROX EVERY 10 CRANKS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU ARE STUCK FOR AT LEAST A HOUR BEFORE IT WILL START. DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND A COMPLAINT WAS MADE TO GMC COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT I HAVE CHANGED NUMEROUS PARTS M SWITCHES AND BOXES ,

TAKATA RECALL GM RECALL # 49151 DATED JULY 2016. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED OR RECEIVED AND RESPONSE FROM GM. LET ME KNOW WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATUS AND WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG TO COMPLETE THIS RECALL.

MY GMC SIERRA I BOUGHT NEW IN 2006 IT HAS 68,800 MILES ON IT WHEN I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL LOST PRESSURE AND WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED AND BRAKE FLUID WAS POURING OUT WHEN I TAPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IF I WAS MOVING AT THE TIME THIS HAPPEN SOMETHING REAL BAD COULD HAVE HAPPEN. I OWN A 1948 CHEVROLET PICKUP AND THE BRAKE LINES ARE STILL GOOD ON THAT 70 YEAR OLD TRUCK. GM IS USING POOR QUALITY PARTS FROM LOW BIDDERS ON CONTRACT PUTTING THE PUBLIC AT RISK.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE ENTERING (TURNING LEFT INTO) PARKING LOT, TOWED TO SHOP. SHOP FOUND BROKE/DEFECTIVE CONNECTION TO STEERING BOX AND LEAKING FLUID. REPLACED FITTING AND TUBING, FLUSHED SYSTEM, AND REPLACED FLUID.

CHARGING SYSTEM FAILURE MESSAGE KEEPS COMING UP ON VEHICLE...REPLACED ALTERNATOR THREE WEEKS AGO AND IT SEEMS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM...FOR A WHILE AT LEAST...TWO NIGHTS AGO TRUCK DIED...REPLACED BATTERY WITH A BRAND NEW ONE YESTERDAY AND TRUCK IS STILL SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS BATTERY IS NOT GETTING CHARGE FROM ALTERNATOR.

COMPLAINT ON GM EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT DEFECT, INFERIOR BRAKE/ FUEL LINES. MINE IS A 2005 GMC. DEFECTIVE EXHAUST BOLTS AFFECT 12 MILLION GM TRUCKS FROM 1999 TO 2007. GM EXHAUST BOLTS ARE TO SMALL BRITTLE FOR SECURING EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. BOLTS SNAP OFF CAUSING EXHAUST LEAKS. TRUCKS NOT PASSING EMISSIONS AND DANGEROUS EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE DRIVERS COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLES WHILE DRIVING. I AND MY FAMILY GET A CARBON MONOXIDE HEADACHE WHEN I DRIVE IT AND HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FEELING LIKE I WAS GOING TO PASS OUT, OPEN WINDOWS AND SIT UNTIL I FELT BETTER. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS GETTING MY TRUCK TO PASS EMISSIONS DUE TO THE LEAKS AND THE LEAKS ARE CAUSING THE VEHICLES TO BE NONE EPA COMPLIANT BECAUSE OF O2 SENSOR ERRORS RESULTING IN FAILED EMISSION TEST. ALSO BRAKE AND FUEL LINES ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR NORTHERN STATES CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE WITH OUT WARNING, FUEL LINES ARE ALL RUSTED AND SWELLED IN DANGER OF BURSTING CAUSING FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. FORD AND OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE WORKED ON USE STAINLESS FUEL LINES AND LOOK LIKE NEW FOR LIFE OF VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO SEEN OTHER MANUFACTURERS USE POWDER COATED BRAKE LINES ON THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND 20 YEAR OLD VEHILCES SHOW NO RUST PROBLEMS. MY 2005 GMC FROM THE REAR END BRAKE HOSE TO THE WHEEL CYLINDERS THEY USED POWDER COATED BRAKE LINES. THOSE LINES LOOK LIKE NEW YET. GM KNEW THE POWDER COATED LINES WERE BETTER WHY DID THEY USE FAULTY GALVANIZED STEEL ON THE REST OF THE TRUCK? AS IT IS NOW MY TRUCK CAN'T BE

SUNROOF WINDOW BLEW-UP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I DROVE UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND PUSHED THE BRAKES AS USUAL. A BRAKE LINE BURST AND I COASTED THRU THE STOP LIGHT. I USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. I THINK ALL BRAKE LINES SHOULD BE MADE FROM STAINLESS STEEL UP HERE IN WISCONSIN. THIS DEFINITELY IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE CONTACT SWITCHED LANES ON A CURVED ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SKID. THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF CONTROL. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL AND THEN A MEDIAN. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO COLLISION CENTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES GO OUT 3 DIFFERENT TIMES ON ME IN THE LAST YEAR. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF PROBLEMS AND YOU STEP ON THE BRAKES AND A LINE BLOWS. YOU HAVE NO BRAKES PEDDLE GOES TO THE FLOOR AND LITTLE TO NO STOPPING. ONE TIME I WAS COMING DOWN A DIRT ROAD TO A STOP SIGN AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND A LINE BLEW AND THE ABS KICKED IN BECAUSE OF THE DIRT ROAD AND I COULD NOT STOP AND WENT RIGHT THROUGH A INTERSECTION. THEY USED CHEAP LINES, AND NOW PEOPLE IN THE NE WHERE SALT IS USED ARE HAVING PROBLEMS. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.THE LINE RUSTY OUT WHERE THEY BEND AND SALT AND DIRT BUILD UP. THERE IS NO REASON THEY CAN NOT MAKE THESE LINES OUT OF SS OR AS WITH THE NEWER LINES THEY ARE COATED. WHY COME OUT WITH A COAT LINE IF THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ON EACH SIDE OF ENGIN SNAPPED OFF FOR NO APPEARANT REASON / NORMAL USE, BIG CONCERN OF EXAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CAB

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON URBAN ROAD I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES BECAUSE OF A DRIVER BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY IN FRONT OF ME. BRAKES INITIALLY SLOWED VEHICLE THEN BRAKE PEDAL WENT CLEAR TO THE FLOOR. I QUICKLY ENGAGED PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE AND WAS ABLE TO STOP JUST IN TIME WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY RUNNING OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER INSPECTION LEAKING BRAKE FLUID WAS OBSERVED ON LEFT UPPER FRAME RAIL JUST TO THE REAR OF THE RADIATOR. AFTER BEING TOWED HOME FUTURE INSPECTION REVEALED A LONGITUDINAL FRACTURE ON THE BRAKE LINE FOR THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. NO INJURIES, MINOR DAMAGE TO RIGHT SIDE (BRUSH SCRAPES). *TR

BRAKE LINES RUSTED OUT. VERY FEW MILES. GMC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STOPPING DISTANCE WAS EXTENDED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID LEAKED FROM THE VEHICLE DUE TO RUSTED BRAKE LINES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE BRAKE LINES, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

CASTECH CYLINDER HEADS ON 2001 THROUGH 2006 5.3L VORTEC ENGINES ARE POROUS AND ALLOW ANTIFREEZE TO SEAP INTO THE OIL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT CAN DESTROY THE ENGINE (OIL DOESN'T LUBRICATE CORRECTLY, SLUDGE BUILDUP) AND LEAVE SOMEONE, AT THE LEAST, STRANDED, AT THE WORST, IT CAN CAUSE A HUGE ENGINE FIRE. GM HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS SINCE 2007. THEY ISSUED A BULLETIN DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX, BUT NO RECALL. TO FIX EITHER THE CYLINDER HEADS NEED TO BE REPLACED ($2500) OR THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ($5500). MY VEHICLE IS A 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500 SLE. ALSO THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY A LICENSED MECHANIC. THE FOLLOWING IS A LINK TO THE GM ISSUED BULLETIN. HTTP://WW2.JUSTANSWER.COM/UPLOADS/BLUEGORILLA/2008-12-05_142924_COOLANT_LOSS_5.3.PDF

WHEN BACKING OUT OF A LONG DRIVEWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKES DID NOT SLOW, STOP OR ENGAGE AT ALL. I PUMPED THE BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO STOP BY PULLING ONTO THE GRASS WHILE APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I FOUND ONE BRAKE LINE ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HAD RUSTED THROUGH, BUT NONE OF THE OTHERS HAD A LEAK AND THE BRAKE FLUID WAS STILL FULL. WITH ONLY ONE BRAKE LINE DAMAGED I LOST ALL BRAKING POWER.

I DRIVE A 2005 SIERRA 1500 4 WHEEL DRIVE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE TRUCK WENT FROM NORMAL 2 WHEEL DRIVE (D ON THE STEERING COLUMN), INTO NEUTRAL. I DID NOTHING TO CREATE THIS ACTION . THE SITUATION WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I DID PULL OFF AFTER OTHER DRIVERS ALMOST CRASHED DUE TO MY IMMEDIATE DECREASE IN SPEED. ONCE STOPPED I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE STEERING WHEEL SHIFT LEVER TO PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE OR PARK. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT, EVEN WITH FOOT ON THE BREAK. I NOTICED MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE SELECTOR SWITCH WAS NOT ILLUMINATED. I PUSHED THE 2WD BUTTON AND IT MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE. I TRIED THE AUTO 4WD BUTTON AND THEN WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING LEVER BACK TO PARK AND THEN TO D FOR DRIVE. NOW WHEN I SLOW TO TURN THE TRUCK DROPS INTO LOW 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHICH MAKES THE TRUCK SLOW TO 10 MPH MAX. THIS COULD GET ANYONE KILLED EVEN IF INITIALLY ONE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO TURN. THERE ARE 100S OF FORUMS ON THE INTERNET DEALING WITH EXACTLY THIS PROBLEM YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND NOT HAD THE CHANCE TO TELL? HOW MANY MORE MUST DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE?

CONCERNING GM 706 CASTECH CYLINDER HEADS/GM TSB 06-06-01-019B I HAVE A 2005 GMC SIERRA WHICH HAS SLOWLY BEEN LEAKING COOLANT FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE A 706 CASTECH CYLINDER HEAD THAT IS NOTORIOUS FOR CRACKING AND LEAKING. THE DEALER TOLD ME THERE WAS COOLANT INSIDE MY OIL AND RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE ENGINE. AS I HAVE BEGUN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I REALIZE THESE CYLINDER HEADS AFFECT MILLIONS OF GM VEHICLES AND LOYAL CUSTOMERS. GM HAS ISSUED A TSB AND ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AT HAND AND IN MY, AND MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALLED ITEM. I AM CALLING ON GM TO FIX THIS ISSUE/MISTAKE.

BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. RUSTED THROUGH BRAKE LINE NEAR REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE

THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT HAS GONE FROM DIM TO NO LIGHT AT ALL SO YOU CAN NOT SEE WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN. THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO GEAR, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS BARELY ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED AND THE CONTACT HAD TO MEMORIZE IN WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000. UPDATED 06/15/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE LED SHIFT INDICATOR DISPLAY HAD FADED, AND HE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE WAS IN. UPDATED 06/22/16.*JB

ENGINE OIL LEAK ON OR AROUND REAR MAIN SEAL. AS OIL DRIPS WHILE DRIVING THE OIL LANDS ON THE EXHAUST PIPE AND BEGINS TO BURN. THIS LEAK LANDING ON THE EXHAUST WHILE HOT CAN CATCH ON FIRE.

THE RUNNING LIGHT SOCKETS BURNED OUT. I CAN SEND YOU THE BURNED OUT SOCKET BUT NEED AN ADDRESS.

POWER STEERING HOSE HAS RUSTED AND BEGAN LEAKING. NOTICED A LOT OF UNDERCARRIAGE AND FRAME RUST ON THE WHOLE TRUCK.

WHEN PULLING IN MY DRIVEWAY THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT CLEAR TO THE FLOOR. UPON INVESTIGATING I FOUND THE BRAKE LINES TO BE SEVERELY CORRODED. I WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO BE DRIVING AT A FASTER RATE OF SPEED ON THE OPEN ROAD. THAT SAME WEEK THE STEERING HAD BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN LIKE IT WAS LOW ON FLUID, WHICH IT WAS NOT. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE COMPUTER AT 400 MILES. *TR

THESE PARTS WERE RECALLED ON PREVIOUS GM VEHICLES IN THE SAME YEAR. THE FUEL SENSOR DOESN'T WANT TO READ CORRECTLY AND NOT KNOWING AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK. THE ABS SYSTEM OVER REACTS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ENGAGE WHILE DRY CONDITIONS ARE PRESENT AND ALARM TO SOUND. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER FAILS INTERMITTENTLY. I WAS DRIVING TO FLORIDA FROM VIRGINIA AND MY SPEEDOMETER FAILED ON INTERSTATE 95. I WAS SUMMARILY ARRESTED IN SUMMERTON, GEORGIA FOR SPEEDING. IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR SPEED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP SIGN, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGAN FLASHING INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED ON AND OFF INDEPENDENTLY, THE SPEEDOMETER AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES SHOWED INACCURATE READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ELECTRICAL FAILURES ON THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

IGNITION SWITCH IS STICKING IN RUN POSITION. I HAVE TO TURN THE SWITCH BACK AFTER CRANKING TO TURN OFF THE ABS /PARKING BRAKE LIGHT. TRIED A NEW SWITCH DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IS THIS PART OF THE RECALL PROBLEM. *TR

NOVEMBER 5, 2014: TURN KEY AND SYMPTOM OF A DEAD BATTERY. STARTER CLICKS ONCE. NO LIGHTS WILL WORK AT ALL. TOOK BATTERY OUT, CHARGED IT OVERNIGHT, AND HAD IT TESTED. TEST REVEALS BATTERY IS GOOD (SHOULD START VEHICLE) BUT WEAK (NEEDS A CHARGE). PUT BATTERY BACK IN, CONNECTED IT, PUT KEY IN, TURNED IT, AND VEHICLE STARTED EASILY. ............. NOV. 15, 2014: TURN KEY BUT, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY DEAD. THEN, TAKE KEY OUT FOR FIVE MINUTES, PUT BACK IN, AND STARTS RIGHT UP LIKE NOTHING WRONG. *TR

CAR IN FRONT OF ME LOCKED UP HIS BRAKES FOR A AMBULANCE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION .GOOD THING HAD ENOUGH DISTANCE TO STOP AS WHEN I TRIED TOO THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR.KEPT PUMPING AND MANAGED TO STOP.GLAD I WASN'T GOING ANY FASTER AND HAD TIME TO REACT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ACTIVATING THE A/C, THERE WAS SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE REPAIRS WERE UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE BRAKE LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE YEARS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED A SECOND TIME UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V043000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V417000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,510.

ALL BRAKES LINES RUSTED OUT. *TR

THE DRIVE INDICATOR ON MY DASH BOARD CLUSTER DOES NOT LIGHT UP AND SHOW WHAT GEAR IM IN. CALLED BEFORE BECAUSE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF TRUCK BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL BUT I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

SLOWING FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT GOING DOWNHILL AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. PUMPING DID LITTLE SO USED PARKING BRAKE TO STOP. CLOUD OF WHITE SMOKE OUT OF TAIL PIPE AS ENGINE SHUTTERED AND VALVES CHATTERED. FRONT DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LINE FAILED FROM EXTERNAL CORROSION SHOOTING FLUID ON HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD. WHEN PEDDLE WENT TO FLOOR MASTER CYLINDER PASSED FLUID INTO BOOSTER AND THROUGH VACUUM LINE INTO INTAKE OF ENGINE CAUSING WHITE CLOUD OF BRAKE FLUID BURNING WITH GAS INTERNALLY ALMOST SHUTTING MOTOR DOWN AND LOSS OF ALL POWER. REPLACED CORRODED BRAKE LINES AND MASTER CYLINDER. NEGLIGENT DESIGN AND MATERIALS QUALITY IN MY OPINION. NOW BOTH FRONT CALIPERS DRAG AND SHAKE STEERING WHEEL. WHERE IS SAFETY RECALL? BRAKE LINES ARE NOT A MAINTENANCE ITEM! TRY REPLACING ONE AS THEY WERE INSTALLED TO NEVER COME OFF. WOULD TOYOTA HAVE BEEN GIVEN A PASS ON THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MANY YEARS OF COMPLAINTS, THOUSANDS OF FAILURES, INJURIES AND DEATHS? *TR

BRAKES FAILED IN MY DRIVEWAY. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH ALMOST NO RESISTANCE. FORTUNATELY I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. I INSPECTED BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER & FOUND ALL FLUID HAD LEAKED OUT, AREA UNDER IT WAS WET WITH FLUID, ALSO, THE BRAKE LINES UNDER THE CYLINDER LOOKED VERY RUSTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

WENT TO LEAVE DRIVEWAY AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I COULD NOT STOP...HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES A LOT. GOT OUT AND FOUND BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER THE PAVEMENT. *TR

APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION TO TURN LEFT ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR WITH VIRTUALLY NO RESISTANCE AND NO BRAKING AT ALL. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND NO MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. RETURNED TO OUR CAMPSITE USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEAREST GM DEALER. THEY DECIDED IT WOULD BE MORE 'ECONOMICAL' TO SEND THE CORRODED AND LEAKING BRAKE LINES OUT TO A SHOP AS MODELS FOR MAKING UP NEW ONES RATHER THAN USE THE KIT IN TSB 13-05-22-001. UNFORTUNATELY IT TOOK THAT SHOP A WEEK TO DO THE WORK AND WE HAD TO RENT A CAR TO GET AROUND WHILE THE DEALER WAITED FOR PARTS, ADDING SOME $250 TO THE $1113.32 REPAIR COST. SINCE WE WERE OVER A THOUSAND MILES FROM HOME AT THE TIME WE HAD LITTLE CHOICE. *TR
