2007 GMC Sierra 1500 complaints

I HAVE BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED I HAVE EMAILED GMC THAT I WAS HAVING ISSUE UPON DOING SO THEY HAD SENT ME A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL WHICH I TRIED AND IT SAID IT WOULD NOT LET ME FROM MY AREA I EMAILED THEM AGAIN AND THEY DID NOT REPLY. MY MASTER CYLINDER WENT OUT ON MY GMC SIERRA 1500 WT EXTENDED CAB AND I FOUND UPON REPLACING THE MASTER THAT THEY USED A 2006 MASTER CYLINDER ON WHAT THEY CALL A 2007 VEHICLE .. LOST THE BRAKES COMPLETELY NO WRECK. WHAT THEY DID DO WAS SEND ME A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATING MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WAS DUE TO EXPIRE HOW CONVENIENT FOR THEM. I TRIED HARD BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW DID THEY USE 06 ON MY 07 TRUCK TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENT PARTS IT IS IMPORTANT. NOW A FEW MONTHS LATER I AM NOTICING THAT UNDERNEATH THE DRIVERS SIDE THAT ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES IS STARTING TO LEAK I STILL ONLY HAVE 48000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE NO WAY NO HOW SHOULD THE LINES HAVE ROTTED OUT THIS EARLY OR CORRODED GMCS ANSWER IS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. BEING ON DISABILITY I WILL HAVE TO COME UP WITH CLOSE TO 300 DOLLARS TO REPLACE ALL THE LINES BEFORE THEY BLOW OUT AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHICH GMC DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE THAT THEY HAVE INSTALLED DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT PREMATURELY FAIL. *TR

ONE OF THE ELECTRICALLY POWERED, FOLDING EXTERNAL MIRROR ASSEMBLIES BECAME INOPERABLE ON MY 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 PICKUP TRUCK WHICH LED TO THE ENTIRE MIRROR ASSEMBLY BECOMING LOOSE.

I OWN A 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 CREW CAB. I HAVE SOME ISSUES WHEN I START MY TRUCK IN THE MORNINGS, I GET A TAPPING NOISE AS IF THERE ARE LIFTERS STUCK OR NOT GETTING SUFFICIENT OIL. I HAVE ALWAYS USED THE RECOMMENDED AC OIL FILTERS THAT I PURCHASE FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP PARTS CENTER SO I KNOW THAT THE FILTER IS NOT THE PROBLEM. I AM A MECHANIC SO I KNOW WHAT AN ENGINE IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE. THE NOISE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE ENGINE WARMS UP WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MINUTES AND IS VERY ANNOYING. I AM CURRENTLY DEPLOYED TO KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN IN SUPPORT OF OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM AND SCHEDULE TO RETURN TO THE US IN LATE MARCH 2012. I SPOKE TO MY WIFE TODAY AND SHE SAID THAT EVERY TIME SHE START THE VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE NOISE IS THERE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD ANSWER MY QUESTION CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. I LIKE THE TRUCK BUT THE ENGINE NOISE HAS TO GO. LIKE I SAID BEFORE I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC FOR OVER 30 YEARS ON CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT AND AUTOMOTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR THE US ARMY. PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO GIVE ME A SHORT ANSWER TO TRY TO GET RID OF ME, I KNOW BETTER. THE CRANKCASE IS FULL OF OIL TO THE CORRECT LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK AND I USE THE RECOMMENDED 5W30 OIL.

MY 2007 GMC SIERRA HAS FAULTY ABS SENSORS WHICH ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEED STOPS AND GREATLY EXTENDS THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLE. SEARCHING THE INTERNET USENET LIST IT SEEMS THAT A GOOD PORTION OF GM FULLSIZE PICKUPS AND SUVS HAVE FAULTY ABS BRAKE SENSORS WHICH ACTIVATE DURING LOW SPEED BRAKING. 1999 - 2007 VEHICLES SEEM TO BE THE MOST AFFECTED AND INCLUDE SIERRA, YUKON, SUBURBAN, AND SILVERADO TRUCKS. GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE FOR MANY YEARS AND HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE BUT FAILED TO ISSUE RECALL, THIS LEAVES THE OWNER STUCK WITH THE PROBLEM TO DEAL WITH ON THEIR OWN. *TR

#SB-10-06-01-008 (PROBLEM) I AM CONCERNED WITH OUR SAFETY DUE TO THE MECHANICAL MOTOR PROBLEM WITH THE CYLINDERS. GM WARRANTY # [XXX] I HAVE HAD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AND THEY ORDERED PARTS AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. WHEN BRINGING IT IN TO "PHILIPS BUICK GMC" FRUITLAND PARK FLORIDA, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET A COMPARABLE VEHICHLE IN EXCHANGE WHILE MINE IS WORKED ON. I GET THEIR AND THEY TRY TO GIVE ME A COMPACT SUV. I AM 6'2", 200LBS. AND DRIVE A 2007 4 DOOR SIERRA 1500 THAT I USE FOR MY COMMERCIAL BUSINESS EVERY DAY FOR WORK. THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS. I SHUT MY BUSINESS DOWN TO HALF OF WHAT IT WAS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD LOOSING MY TRUCK FOR A COUPLE DAYS TO WARANTY REPAIRS. I WAS TOLD I WOULD GET A FULL SIZED TRUCK OR SUV. I STILL HAVE TO HAUL PRODUCT FOR MY BUSINESS JUST TO KEEP IT 50% RUNNING FOR THOSE COUPLE DAYS. I ALSO HAVE 4, 200+LBS GUYS TO HAUL AROUND FOR WORK AS WELL, AND A SPECIAL NEEDS DAUGHTER WHO NEEDS THE ADITIONAL SPACE OF A FULL SIZED VEHICHLE. I PAID OVER $40,000 FOR MY TRUCK. ITS NOT MY FAULT THAT I HAVE A WARRANTY ISSUE AND IT HAS TO BE WORKED ON. SO MY BUSINESS, FAMILY, AND SELF SHOULDNT BE THE ONE WHO IS INCONVIENANCED FOR A GM WARRANTY ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. I SPOKE TO GM AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO RENT ONE MYSELF AND PAY MYSELF. THEY SAID THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE ME $35 DOLLARS A DAY FOR REIMBURSEMENT. WITH THIS HAPPENING GM IS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO WORK AND GET MY TRUCK FIXED AT THE SAME TIME.

THIS IS A CONSTANT AND ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY OR ROAD AT SPEEDS ABOVE 15 OR 20 MPH THE FRONT SUSPENSION WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING BRIDGE EXPANSIONS, ANY SORT OF ROAD BUMP, MAN HOLE COVERS WITH MINIMAL EDGES, ETC. THE VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE SUSPENSION WILL THEN STOP AND NOT BE FELT DURING NORMAL SMOOTH HIGHWAY OR ROAD TRAVEL BUT RECURS EACH AND EVERY TIME ROAD BUMPS ARE ENCOUNTERED. THE SHAKING IS VIOLENT AND FEELS AS THOUGH THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR NOW. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE EXAMINED BY THE DEALER AND INDEPENDENT SHOPS AND THEY ALL SAY THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ALL LOOK INTACT AND IN GOOD SERVICE CONDITION. *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW HEAVY DUTY 2006 1/2 TON PICKUP TRUCK. IT PRESENTLY HAS FIFTY THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED MILES ON IT. I JUST WENT TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND WAS TOLD THE IDLER ARM ON THE STEERING ROD WAS WORN OUT. WHEN I ASKED FURTHER QUESTIONS THE TIRE GUY SAID THIS WAS REAL COMMON IN GM PRODUCTS. I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT IS OK FOR NOW BUT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO. I AM 60 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED NEW AND USED VEHICLES ALL MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. IF THIS IDLER ARM ON THE STEERING SHOULD FAIL THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO CONTROL THE TRUCK. I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PERFECTLY. GM MUST BE PUTTING SUBSTANDARD IDLER ARMS ON THEIR STEERING TIE RODS FOR HEAVY DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS. I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES WITH OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 GMC SIERRA EXTENDED CAB Z71. THE TRUCK IS APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS OLD WITH 20000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN THE NORTHEAST FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFE. THE FRAME ON THE TRUCK FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR AS WELL AS MANY OF THE COMPONENTS UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK HAVE BECOME EXTREMELY RUSTED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MANY DEALERS AND THEY SAY THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE ROAD SALT AND SNOW/ICE THAT COMES WITH THE NORTHEAST WINTER. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, BUT I AM AFRAID THAT THIS RUST WILL LEAD TO CORROSION(ROT) AND SOMETHING MAJOR COULD HAPPEN TO THE VEHICLE AND OR MYSELF. SINCE THIS TRUCK IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS THIS ISSUE, IT IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE WITH AGE. *TR
