TRUCK STARTED TO HAVE BRAKE PEDAL PULSING AS YOU COME TO A STOP. PROBLEM LEAD TO INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE AT SLOW SPEED. DEALER KNOWS OF PROBLEM, BUT SAID MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

JUST DID A 4 WHEELBRAKEJOB;PADS AND ROTORS FOR THEFRONT, SHOES FOR THE REAR! HAD TO REPLACE ONE REAR WHEEL BRAKE CYLINDER. STARTED TO BLEED SYSTEM, REAR BRAKELINE BURST, WAS RUSTED REAL BAD, REPLACED THE AFFECTED LINE THEN FRONT LINE BURST AND THAT WAS RUSTED REAL BAD ALSO. IN CHECKING THINGS OVER DISCOVERED THEY ARE ALL VERY RUSTY, AFRAID IF I DON'T REPLACE THEM ALL WILL HAVE TO SHORTLY BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL IN SAME CONDITION. NOTE;HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION LINES LAST YEAR DUE TO CORROSION AND RUST!!!! *TR

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF. TOOK IT TO DEALER TO HAVE TESTED. TROUBLE CODE P0084, DRIVER SEAT POSITION SENSOR. DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED FAULT IS IN AIRBAG SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE, SHOWED FALSE HIGH RESISTANCE READING. SENSOR KIT AND MODULE NEEDED REPLACED, ALMOST $600 JUST FOR PARTS. TOOK 2 TIMES AT THE DEALER TO GET THIS FIXED AS FIRST REPLACEMENT PARTS DID NOT WORK. NO COVERAGE BY GMC FOR FAILURE OF SWITCH FOR AIRBAG. TRUCK NEVER IN ANY TYPE ACCIDENT SO AIRBAG WAS NEVER USED. SURPRISED THAT THERE WAS NO ASSISTANCE FROM GMC CONCERNING THIS SAFETY ISSUE AS WORKING AIRBAGS ARE REQUIRED. *TR

WHILE SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND HAD A SUDDEN AND COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES. HAD I NOT BEEN ON A SUBURBAN ROAD OR IN TRAFFIC OR A HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC AND RESULTED IN A CRASH. I WAS NEAR MY REPAIRING GARAGE AND MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE THERE BY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND LOW SPEED. IT WAS LESS THAN A MILE. I HAD THIS REPAIRED AT A COST OF $849.27. JUST YESTERDAY (6-30-2014) I WAS PARKED ON A HILL AND AS I RELEASED THE PARKING BRAKE MY FOOT SUDDENLY WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I EXPERIENCED A SECOND LOSS OF BRAKES DUE TO FAILURE OF THE REMAINING TWO BRAKE LINES. I WAS ON A HILL AND HAD ONLY A TINY AMOUNT OF BRAKING POWER. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE GARAGE AND THE COST OF THIS REPAIR HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED. THEY WILL REPLACE THE REMAINING TWO BRAKE LINES. I RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES WHICH RUPTURED AND ARE LOCATED IN A NEARBY LOCATION ON THE VEHICLE. ALL ARE EXPOSED AND UN-SHIELDED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVERTISES THAT THE VEHICLE IS "PROFESSIONAL GRADE" AND "HEAVY DUTY" BUT I FIND BOTH THESE CLAIMS TO BE GREAT EXAGGERATIONS. THESE SITUATIONS HAVE SCARED ME AND I DESIRE TO ACQUIRE A DIFFERENT VEHICLE AS SOON AS I AM ABLE. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS WILL NOT BE SOON. I WILL HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE FEAR THAT ANOTHER POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC PROBLEM COULD DEVELOP AT ANY MOMENT. FORTUNATELY, NEITHER OF THESE INCIDENTS WERE PANIC STOPS.

CLUNKING SOUND FROM STEERING SHAFT IN COLUMN, CLUNKING BUMPING LOOSENESS IN STEERING HYDRAULIC SLAVE CYLINDER AT ALL SPEEDS. THIS SEEMS TO CAUSE THE TRUCK TO WANDER AT HIGHWAY SPEED, SYMPTOMS ARE WORSE WHEN HIGH WINDS ARE ENCOUNTERED. *TR

WE WERE IN A STORAGE FACILITY PARKING OUR CAMPER WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY GMC TRUCK...I LEFT IT RUNNING IN PARK BECAUSE IT WAS SO HOT OUTSIDE...WHILE I DIRECTED MY BROTHER TO PUT THE CAMPER IN PLACE WITH HIS VEHICLE. THIS TOOK APPROX. 20-30 MINUTES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TRUCK IS GOING IN REVERSE ALL ON ITS OWN RUNNING INTO SOME BOATS THAT WERE STORED THERE. WTH!! MY TRUCK GOT REAR END DAMAGE,BUMPER DAMAGE,LIGHT BROKEN AND MY TOPPER WAS MESSED UP AS WELL....ALONG WITH THE BOAT TRAILERS THAT IT HIT! WAS THERE ANY RECALL WITH THIS PROBLEM? I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO WITH ONLY 29,000 MILES ON IT AND IT STILL ONLY HAS 38,000. *TR

I HAD TOWED MY BOAT ON THE INTERSTATE FOR 2 HOURS TO A LAKE. UPON REACHING THE DESTINATION I WAS ATTEMPTING TO LAUNCH THE BOAT AT THE BOAT RAMP. WHILE I WAS BACKING MY BOAT TRAILER INTO THE WATER I WAS USING THE BRAKES TO EASE DOWN THE RAMP. TWO FAMILY MEMBERS WERE IN THE BOAT TO BACK IT OFF THE TRAILER ONCE IN THE WATER. THE PEDAL SUDDENLY WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR, I STEPPED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK FROM ROLLING INTO THE WATER. I GOT OUT AND SAW A LARGE PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE TRUCK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE JUST BEHIND THE FRONT WHEEL AREA. I GOT IN THE TRUCK TO SEE IF THE BRAKES COULD BE APPLIED AGAIN BUT WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. IN ORDER TO GET THE TRUCK, TRAILER AND BOAT OFF THE RAMP I HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE, QUICKLY RELEASE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND APPLY THE GAS TO PREVENT TRUCK FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS. UPON LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD I FOUND THE BRAKE LINE WAS RUSTED IN A CLIP AND HAD RUPTURED WHERE THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL BRAKE LINE WAS RETAINED IN A CLIP ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRAME JUST NEXT TO THE STEERING COLUMN. SINCE IT WAS EARLY ENOUGH I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC TO GET THE RUPTURED LINE REPLACED. ON 5/29/2014 WHILE MOVING THE TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY THE BRAKE LINE FOR THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL HAS NOW RUPTURED, UPON INSPECTION THE RUPTURE IS IN THE EXACT SAME LOCATION WHERE THE BRAKE LINE IS RETAINED IN THE CLIP ATTACHED TO THE FRAME ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE NEXT TO THE STEERING COLUMN. AT THIS POINT I CAN ONLY ASSUME

BRAKE LINE RUPTURED DUE TO CORROSION. I WAS LEAVING A HESS STATION IN MASSACHUSETTS AFTER FILLING UP AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE BEFORE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC THE PEDAL DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I IMMEDIATELY ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND PUT THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE TO PARK THE VEHICLE AND INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. I FOUND A LARGE BRAKE FLUID LEAK UNDER THE HOOD NEAR THE BASE OF THE STEERING COLUMN WHERE THE HARD BRAKE LINE CLIPS TO THE TRUCK FRAME. THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CORROSION ON THE BRAKE LINE. ALL FOUR (4) BRAKE LINES ARE CURRENTLY BEING REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FOR A COST OF ~$2400. *TR

BRAKE LINE RUST THRU REAR DRIVERS SIDE AND ALL ARE IN POOR SHAPE. *TR

TL - THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKES WERE ENGAGED FOR THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A STOP.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000. DR

WHEN BRAKING AT SLOW SPEEDS THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES APPEAR TO ENGAGE CAUSING THE PULSATING BRAKE IN THE PEDAL. THE TRUCK STOPPING DISTANCE IS INCREASED AND THE BRAKES DO NOT FULLY ENGAGE CAUSING THE TRUCK TO BUMP THE CURB. THE PROBLEM ALSO MAY HAPPEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS SUCH AS 25 MPH AND CORRECTS WHEN THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED FULLY TO THE FLOOR CAUSING THE BRAKES TO FULLY ENGAGE (LOCK UP). THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL. THE BRAKES FUNCTIONED PROPERLY WHEN I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THEN WHEN I WAS GOING DOWN THE HILL THE BRAKE LINE BROKE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO PULSATE UPON ENGAGEMENT WITH A SUDDEN ACTIVATION OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS). AS A RESULT, THERE WAS A DELAYED RESPONSE IN BRAKING TO A STOP. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES AS THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OF 10 MPH OR LESS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT BOTH FRONT ABS SPEED SENSORS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE MALFUNCTION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

DRIVING IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AT APPROX. 25 MPH. UPON ENGAGING BRAKES TO STOP AT STOP SIGN, PEDAL SUDDENLY BECAME EXTREMELY SOFT AND TRAVELED NEARLY TO FLOOR. IT TOOK ME A MOMENT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND I HAD TO PRESS WITH FULL FORCE TO STOP. DROVE SLOWLY TO NEAREST GMC DEALER, NOT FAR AWAY. ALMOST ALL OF THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL PROVIDED NO RESPONSE; THE REMAINDER OF TRAVEL WAS SOFT AND PROVIDED MINIMAL BRAKING PERFORMANCE. DIAGNOSIS BY THE DEALER WAS EXCESSIVE CORROSION ON ALL SOLID BRAKE LINES AND FITTINGS. BURST/LEAKAGE ON A LINE NEAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL WAS CAUSING THE SOFT, NEARLY UNRESPONSIVE BRAKE PEDAL. RECOMMENDATION BY DEALER WAS TO REPLACE ALL SOLID BRAKE LINES AND FITTINGS, FROM MASTER CYLINDER TO ABS UNIT TO EACH WHEEL END. I WAS TOLD THAT ONLY FIXING THE AREA THAT HAD BURST WOULD BE TOO "RISKY" DUE TO CONDITION OF THE REST OF THE SOLID BRAKE LINES AND THAT FAILURE IN ANOTHER PART OF THE LINES WAS "PROBABLY GOING TO HAPPEN." THE FLEXIBLE/RUBBER BRAKE LINES AND FITTINGS AT CALIPERS/DRUMS WERE "OK" AND NOT REPLACED. TOTAL CHARGE: $1380.46. THIS IS A 7-YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH ABOUT 40K MILEAGE THAT HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED IN PERSONAL USE/COMMUTING. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS FAILURE BEFORE, ON ANY VEHICLE AT ANY AGE, INCLUDING NUMEROUS VEHICLES 10+ YEARS OLD ALL DRIVEN IN NE OHIO. I AM GRATEFUL THE BRAKES GAVE UP WHEN/WHERE THEY DID: AT LOW SPEED AND WITHOUT ANY OTHER VEHICLE (OR PEDESTRIAN) AROUND. I CONTACTED GM AND REGISTERED MY COMPLA

I PURCHASED MY PICKUP NEW IN JAN. 2007 AND USE IT TO TOW AN 8X16 TRAILER W/ELECTRIC BRAKES FOR A PART TIME BUSINESS THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER. THE TRAILER WEIGHS APPROX. 6000 LBS. LOADED AND THE TRUCK IS RATED FOR 8,000 LBS. APPROXIMATE TOWING MILEAGE IS 3 TO 4,000 MILES PER YEAR. AFTER TOWING THE TRAILER 200 MILES ON SEPT. 14, 2012 MY WIFE NOTICED SEVERAL OIL LEAKS ON THE ASPHALT NEARBY. I SUSPECTED SOMETHING IN THE DIFFERENTIAL AREA AND DROVE TO THE NEAREST GMC DEALERSHIP SEVERAL MILES AWAY. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A REAR BRAKE LINE AND ENDED UP REPLACING 6' OF IT ALONG WITH BOTH ROTORS AND CALIPERS AND A BRAKE SYSTEM FLUSH FOR A TOTAL OF $958.76. I'M 66 YRS. OLD AND HAVE NEVER HAD A BRAKE LINE GO IN ANY VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED AND I'VE LIVED IN MASSACHUSETTS ALL MY LIFE. MY LOCAL MECHANIC JUST TOLD ME THIS WEEK THAT THE REST OF THE BRAKE LINES ARE BADLY CORRODED AND SHOULD BE REPLACED ASAP. THIS WILL ADD ANOTHER $900 TO THE ENTIRE COST. THERE IS NO QUESTION IN MY MIND THAT GM HAS ALLOWED QUALITY IN WORKMANSHIP ON ITS BRAKE LINES TO FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS...AND AT THE PUBLIC'S EXPENSE. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE TANK I DROVE FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES AND I LOOKED AT THE TANK AND IT SHOWED I HAD GAS SO I KEPT DRIVING, SOON THE ENGINE STOPPED AND I WAS LEFT STRANDED BY MY TRUCK AND I AM DISABLED. I THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND THE SERVICE STATION FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT OTHER THAN THEY ADDED GAS AND IT STARTED AND RAN FINE. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AND NOTICED THAT THE GAS WAS NOT GOING DOWN ON THE GAUGE LIKE IT SHOULD. ONE DAY I GOT IN MY TRUCK AND STARTED IT AND THE LOW FUEL SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH A CHIME , THE (DIC) SAID THE FUEL WAS LOW BUT I HAD JUST FILLED IT UP AND HAD ONLY DRIVEN A FEW MILES. THE LOW GAS LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME NOW EVEN WHEN I FILL IT UP ALONG WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND IT WILL CHIME EVERY TIME I START IT UP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND HE STATED IT WAS A WORN FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND HE HAS HAD SEVERAL GM VEHICLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE DISABLED AND HAVE PROBLEMS GETTING AROUND IN THE FIRST PLACE. *TR

REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY (BOTH) CONNECTION TABS WHICH HOLD ASSEMBLY IN PLACE FAIL FOR NO REASON ALLOWING LIGHT ASSEMBLE TO FALL OUT. HAVE REPLACED THE REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES THREE TIMES. FIRST LIGHT ASSEMBLY FELL OUT AT 8 MONTHS AGE (APPROX 20,000 MILES), RETURNED TO DEALER THEY ADVISED ASSEMBLY MUST HAVE BEEN DAMAGED NO WARRANTY REPAIR.

I OWN A 2006 GMC SIERRA. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A RELATIVE (70 YEAR OLD WOMAN) AND IT HAS 22,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE JUST HAD A MECHANICAL ISSUE BEGIN. WHEN SLOWING THE VEHICLE TO APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABS ACTIVATES AND THE TRUCK THRUSTS FORWARD. I WAS ADVISED BY A MECHANIC THAT THIS IS A FAILURE OF BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLIES. BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE HAS SO FEW MILES ON IT I BEGAN LOOKING ON LINE FOR RECALL INFORMATION. I AM SHOCK HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS AROUND 20,000 MILES, SOME RESULTING IN CRASHES. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THE COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURES THE HUB ASSEMBLIES HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE PARTS UNLESS IT WAS INSTALLED BY THE FACTORY (GM). THIS ISN'T RIGHT AND SOMEONE WILL GET INJURED BADLY. GM SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLE. *TR
