2004 GMC Sierra 2500 complaints

LEAVING SMALL RURAL ROAD. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND VEHICLE ROLLED THROUGH STOP SIGN. NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. UPON INSPECTION, LEFT FORWARD BRAKE LINE HAD RUPTURED DUE TO CORROSION. ONLY MATTER OF TIME BEFORE OTHER BRAKE LINES WILL FAIL. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK FROM DEALER WITH 40151 MILES. I HAVE THIS TRUCK FROM 2007 TO PRESENT TIME WITH THE MILEAGE AT 51,000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN USED FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS WILL EFFECT MILLIONS OF GM TRUCKS. THIS PROBLEM WILL COST OVER $1000. TO FIX BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE FIRE,ENGINE FAILURE, EMISSIONS PROBLEMS, OTHER VERY COSTLY PROBLEMS THAT WILL RELATE TO THE BOLTS BREAKING OFF FROM DEFECT ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS CAN CAUSE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS. (THIS IS AS SERIOUS AS THE TOYOTA CAR PROBLEMS OR WORSE). I ALSO THINK WITH THE NEW AIR EMISSIONS STANDARDS THESE TRUCKS WILL NOT PASS THE INSPECTIONS. BECAUSE OF THE EXHAUST LEAKS ON THE MOTOR. THERE IS NO DOUBT I FEEL THIS SHOULD & CAN BE A CLASS ACTION SUIT. GM KNOWS OF THIS DEFECT OF THE BOLT BUT STILL NO RECALL. WHY MUST IT TAKE SOMEONE TO GET KILLED OR HURT BEFORE THEY FIX THE PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM & NOW WHEN I DRIVE I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE TRUCK GOING ON FIRE. GM MUST DO THE RIGHT THING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THE CAUSED. PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED. THANK [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH DOWNHILL, THE DRIVER WAS ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE AND THE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE BEFORE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE COMPLETELY CORRODED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

SECOND BRAKE PROBLEM, SECOND OF THREE BRAKE LINE PROBLEMS FROM RUSTY BRAKE LINES AND BRAKE LINE FAILURE WHILE STOPPING AND LOSE OF BRAKES, NEEDING TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. ALL REMAINING BRAKE LINES ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR SAFE DRIVING. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND ARE UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. BRAKE LINES SHOULD NEVER FAIL FROM RUST, PERIOD. *JS

BOTH FRONT HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINES CORRODED ON DRIVERS SIDE, WITH LOSS OF BRAKING, ON CHASSIS TOP REAR OF FRONT WHEEL. IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A LARGE WIRING LOOM (1 1/2" O.D.) CLIPPED ON TOP OF HYDRAULIC LINES, ONE TO LF AND RF WHEELS. CORROSION ON BOTH LINES ARE AT THE CONTACT OF THE LOOM AND LINES. VIBRATION MAY HAVE CAUSED THE LOOM AND LINES TO RUB AND ALLOWED MOISTURE TO CORRODE THE BRAKE LINES. *TR

MY TRUCK IS A WORK TRUCK DRIVEN BY AN EMPLOYEE, I HAVE JUST RECENTLY BECOME AWARE OF A CONDITION REGARDING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, WHEREIN THE WHOLE PANEL DOES NOT WORK, I WAS ADVISED BY THE EMPLOYEE THAT THIS HAPPENED QUITE SOME TIME AGO, BUT WAS NEVER MADE AWARE. I CONTACTED GMC BUT APPARENTLY, BECAUSE THIS IS CONSIDERED A SPECIAL POLICY RECALL (ONLY IF SOMEONE COMPLAINS - AND WITHIN A SPECIFIED TIME PERIOD 7 YRS OR 80,000 MILES) THEY WILL NOT REPAIR THIS DEFECT. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE, NOR WAS I AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITHIN THAT TIME PERIOD. I WAS FURTHER INFORMED BY MY WORKER THAT AT THE TIME THE PANEL WENT OUT, THE FAN FOR THE HEATER/AIR CONDITION UNIT APPEARED TO SMOKE AND NOW IT DOES NOT WORK. HERE AGAIN, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICES FOR THIS DEFECT EITHER. FINALLY, IN MY ATTEMPTS TO GET THE CLUSTER REPAIRED, I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE HYDRO BOOST ACCUMULATOR... I HAVE NOT ONCE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS VEHICLE AND I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW. MY VEHICLE HAS 101,000 MILES ON IT. YOU WOULD THINK THAT A VEHICLE OF THIS NATURE WOULD LAST LONGER THAN 100,000. BUT APPARENTLY NOT... ALSO, WHEN THESE IS SUCH A MAJOR RECALL OUT ON A VEHICLE YOU WOULD THINK THAT GMC WOULD CONTACT YOU AND ADVISE YOU OF THIS PROBLEM.. *TR

WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND HAD NO BRAKES. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE AND MISS THE VEHICLE IN FROM OF ME. BUT HAD TO RUN THROUGH THE FOUR WAY STOP AND WAS BLESSED TO HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN WAY. THE BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE ABOUT WHERE THE SEAT IS. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE LINES ARE ALL CORRODED AND RUSTING. OBVIOUSLY IT ONLY TAKES ONE TO LEAK BUT ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS SUCH A SURPRISE BECAUSE THIS TRUCK SITS IN THE GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME AND HAS VERY FEW MILES ON IT. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOORBOARD ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR STEEL BRAKE LINE HAD FAILED. THEY ADVISED HIM THAT ALL BRAKE LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 38,400.

BRAKE LINES ARE ROTTED OUT. I PUSHED ON MY BRAKE PEDAL WHILE COMING TO A RED LIGHT AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR, THE RUSTED LINES HAD BROKEN AND MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK. LUCKILY I WAS NOT GOING TO FAST OR TO CLOSE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SO I WAS ABLE TO SLOW ENOUGH TO TURN OFF THE ROAD BY PUSHING IN MY PARKING BRAKE. *TR

WHILE TOWING 4000# BOAT, APPROACHED TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND APPLIED BRAKES WHILE MOVING AT APPROX 10 MPH, THE BRAKES APPLIED AND THE PEDAL THEN BOTTOMED OUT ON THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE VEERED LEFT AND CAME TO A STOP AFTER MUCH CONTINUED BRAKING EFFORT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OFF THE HIGHWAY AT THE FIRST SAFE INTERSECTION AND EXAMINED. INSPECTION UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE FRAME REVEALED RUSTED THROUGH STEEL BRAKE LINE FROM MASTER CYLINDER AND LEAKING BRAKE FLUID ONTO THE STREET. VEHICLE AND BOAT WERE TOWED, LATER INSPECTION REVEALED FOUR OF FIVE STEEL BRAKE LINES AT THE PROPORTIONING VALVE WERE RUSTED TO POINT THAT REPLACEMENT WAS NECESSARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 25 MPH AND APPLIED THE BRAKES FOR A TRAFFIC STOP WHEN THERE WAS A PULSATION COMING FROM THE BRAKES. THIS CAUSED THE BRAKES TO BE DEPRESSED ABNORMALLY INTO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE UNTIL HE ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER AND AFTER INSPECTION, THE DEALER INFORMED HIM THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS RUSTED AND HAD RUPTURED. IN ADDITION, THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO ADVISED THAT A REPRESENTATIVE WOULD LATER RETURN HIS CALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. UPDATED 09/28/2011 *LN *TR

THIS COMPLAINT COVERS MY 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500HD CREW CAB 4WD. ALMOST ONE YEAR AGO I HAD A MAIN BRAKE LINE BLOW UNDERNEATH THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE TRUCK. THE LINE WAS SO CORRODED IT WAS NO WONDER. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 9-7-10. I WAS HOOKED TO MY FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER AND WAS PREPARING TO PULL OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND WHEN I PLACED FOOT ON BRAKE TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE IT BLEW. THANKFULLY I WAS JUST BEGINNING TO MOVE. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE LINE AND FLUSHED SYSTEM. NOW AGAIN ON 8-22-11 SAME SITUATION OCCURRED. THE LINE BLEW IN EXACTLY THE SAME POSITION AS FIRST TIME ONLY A DIFFERENT LINE THIS TIME. NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER CORROSION ON THE BRAKE CALIPERS AND HARDWARE THAT RENDERED MY REAR BRAKES USELESS. HAD TO REPLACE ROTORS AND PADS DUE TO STICKING BRAKE PAD WEARING TO POINT OF METAL TO METAL CONTACT. DID I MENTION I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW AND IT NOW HAS ONLY 38,500 MILES. RARELY DOES IT GET DRIVEN IN SNOW AND SALT. I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS FOR PARTS THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME. IM JUST THANKFUL THAT I WASN'T TOWING AS I USUALLY DO WHEN IM DRIVING THIS TRUCK. I'VE TALKED TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP DON HALL IN ASHLAND, KY AND THEY CITE HUNDREDS OF TRUCKS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I AM A LOYAL GM FAN BUT I WORKED AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR TWO YEARS SELLING USED VEHICLES. I MADE IT A HABIT OF CHECKING ALL OF OUR GM TRUCK TRADE-INS FOR THIS RUST PROBLEM AND THEY TOO HAD THIS. I SAW EVEN TWO TO THREE YEA

DRIVING DOWN/UP A VERY CURVY ROAD AND MY SPEEDOMETER BECAME INACCURATE. I HAD TO USE MY GPS THE BEST I COULD TO KNOW HOW FAST I WAS GOING, SO THAT I WOULDN'T SPEED. THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD MOVE UP AND DOWN BUT AT THE WRONG SPEEDS. IN PARK AT ONE POINT SAID 56MPH, AT ANOTHER POINT 45-50MPH. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVY/GMC DEALER TO GET IT REPAIRED. WAITING FOR THE APPROPRIATE PARTS, BUT THE PARTS ARE GOING TO COST ME OVER $400 + LABOR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO HAVE, ESPECIALLY WHERE IT AFFECTS ALL MY GAUGES, NOT JUST MY SPEEDOMETER, MINE JUST SHOWED ITSELF THROUGH THE SPEEDOMETER. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS COST TO INCUR FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T FAIL IN THE FIRST PLACE. *KB

RECEIVED A CONDITIONAL LETTER FROM GM STATING THAT MY VEHICLE MY EXPERIENCE A CONDITION RESULTING FROM CORROSION THAT MAY EFFECT THE RELAY RESISTOR MODULE AND WIRE CONNECTOR FOR THE HEATER/HVAC FAN MOTOR. THE LETTER STATES THAT THE WIRE AND/OR RESISTOR COULD OVERHEAT. THIS MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY A BURNING SMELL OR SMOKE. I HAVE FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE THAT A CO-WORKERS TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE ON JULY 26, 2011 DO TO THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED VIA THE INTERNET ABOUT FIRE DAMAGE FROM THIS CONDITION. I HAVE TALKED TO GENERAL MOTORS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY FAILED TO REACT. MY CO-WORKER DID NOT HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS PRIOR TO HIS VEHICLE CATCHING FIRE UNDER HIS DASH THAT TOTALED HIS TRUCK. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY TRUCK WILL CATCH FIRE WITHOUT NOTICE AND AS A RESULT POTENTIALLY BURN DOWN MY HOUSE. WHENEVER SOMEONE DESCRIBES A SYMPTOM AS A BURNING SMELL OR SMOKE IT IS POTENTIALLY TO LATE TO FIX THE ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE BODILY HARM OR DEATH. *KB

I OWN A 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500HD 4WD TRUCK. IT HAS 90,500 MILES ON IT. MULTIPLE BRAKE LINES UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAVE RUSTED AND ARE LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT UNLESS REPAIRS ARE MADE COSTING ME OVER $1000. I CANNOT DRIVE THE TRUCK UNTIL REPAIRS ARE MADE. IT APPEARS AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH THAT THERE IS ALREADY A NHTSA INVESTIGATION CONCERNING PREMATURE BRAKE LINE RUSTING/FAILURE ON GM TRUCKS. I HAVE DRIVEN CARS THAT ARE OVER 30 YEARS OLD AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE KIND OF RUST I HAVE ON MY GMC SIERRA THAT IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD!!! PLEASE MAKE GM DO A RECALL ON THIS DESIGN FAILURE. THEY ARE ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF THEIR CUSTOMERS! *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER UNEXPECTEDLY STOPPED WORKING ON MY 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-4. IT WAS REGISTERING 65MPH ONE MINUTE, THEN THE NEXT 0 MPH. THIS ORIGINALLY HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 YEARS AGO. I CONTACTED MY DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. T THAT TIME, I HAD APPROXIMATELY 69000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. HE TOLD ME TO TRY AND RESTARTING IT AND IT SHOULD START WORKING RIGHT AGAIN. WHICH IT DID. IT HAS CONTINUED TO ACT UP SINCE AND IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. THE DEALER NOW TELLS ME THAT ITS IS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A HAZARD AS WHEN IT STOPS WORKING, I HAVE KNOW IDEA AS TO MY SPEED. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM BY GM AND THEY OFFERED A EXTENDED FIX OPTION, BUT DID NOT NOTIFY GM OWNERS OF THIS HAZARD. *TR

WIFE AND CHILD DRIVING TRUCK, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND SERVICE BRAKE INDICATOR CAME ON WHILE ON INTERSTATE. STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND FILLED MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR WITH FLUID. DROVE VEHICLE 8 MORE MILES AND TRADED WITH ME, WHEN I GOT TO THE VEHICLE, I FOUND BRAKE FLUID LEAKING ONTO GROUND, FOUND LINES CORRODED BEYOND BELIEF ON DRIVER SIDE FRAME AROUND WHEEL WELL. DROVE TRUCK HOME USING EMERGENCY BRAKE, LOW SPEED, AND DOWN SHIFTING. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED DUE TO STRONG BELIEF THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES REAR EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKEN OFF. IT LEAKS EXHAUST, MAY BE A FIRE HAZARD AND COULD CAUSE EMISSIONS FAILURE AND EMISSIONS COMPONENTS FAILURES. THIS PROBLEM IS ON A 2004 GMC 6.0 ENGINE. NOTICED TICKING NOISE AT ABOUT 38000 MILES AND IT WOULD GO AWAY AFTER 30-45 SECONDS. A GM REP SAID IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE SKIRT LESS PISTONS AND NOT TO WORRY. HAD SOME WORK DONE AT A GARAGE ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND MECHANIC POINTED OUT THE BROKEN BOLTS. *TR

IM THE OWNER OF A 2004 GMC HD SIERRA TRUCK WITH ALMOST 74K MILES. IM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. SOME MONTHS BACK THE GAS GAUGE STATED SHOWING GAS READINGS WAY BEYOND FULL.IT WOULD STAY THAT WAY FOR SOME TIME BEFORE GOING BACK TO NORMAL THAN IT WOULD FAIL AGAIN. LAST WEEK THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE WENT BEYOND THE 120 MILE READING AND CONTINUES TO SHOW HIGH SPEEDS -EVEN WHEN IM PARKED. IM CONCERN ABOUT DANGER THIS FAILURES MAY CAUSE TO ME OR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I WILL CONTACT MY LOCAL GMC DEALER FOR A FIX. *TR

BOLTS THAT HOLD EXHAUST MANIFOLD ARE BREAKING 3 ARE GONE ALREADY I JUST NOTICED IT TODAY BECAUSE I HEARD AN EXHAUST LEAK UNKNOWN HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON. *TR

LOST BRAKES WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH WAS ABLE TO STOP AND NOTICED BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING FROM ABOVE GAS TANK JUST FORWARD OF REAR AXLE ON DRIVERS SIDE. NEW BRAKE LINE WAS INSTALLED AT GMC DEALER IN JULY 2010 AFTER IT BURST GOING 45 MPH SAME PROBLEM AS IN JULY 2010 THAT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH PROPERTY DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND OTHERS PROPERTY AFTER SUDDEN COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. NEW LINE IS SEVERELY CORRODED AT EACH GREEN PLASTIC CLIP AFTER ONLY 7 MONTHS.

I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION IN MY 2004 GMC SIERRA 4X4 2500HD PICKUP TRUCK WITH A 2800 POUND TRAILER WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. THE TRAILER BRAKES WERE NOT ENOUGH TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND I CONTINUED INTO THE INTERSECTION AND WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY TWO OTHER VEHICLES. THEY JUST MISSED HITTING MY VEHICLE AND CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES TO MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER, AS WELL AS THEMSELVES. WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD THERE WAS BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST GMC DEALER. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT A BRAKE LINE HAD BURST AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE ALSO STATED THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT $750.00 PER SIDE. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THESE VEHICLES AND THAT THESE LINES ONLY LAST 4-7 YEARS ON AVERAGE. THERE IS ALSO SIGNIFICANT CORROSION ON THE FRAME. MY VEHICLE IS ALWAYS GARAGED AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE IS DONE. THE DEALER THEN TOLD ME THAT SINCE WE LIVE IN A SNOW BELT STATE THAT I SHOULD EXPECT THIS AND THAT GMC WILL NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIR. I TOLD HIM THAT I AM VERY UPSET AND THAT I HAVE BEEN A FIREFIGHTER/PARAMEDIC FOR OVER 25 YEARS, AND IF WHAT HE JUST SAID WAS TRUE, THEN I WOULD HAVE HAD TO RESCUE AN AWFUL LOT OF PEOPLE FROM THEIR CRASHED VEHICLES IF ON AVERAGE BRAKE LINES ONLY LASTED 4-7 YEARS. I FEEL THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE REPORTED AND INVESTIGATED BECAUSE IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE A

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 GMC SIERRA WITH MY CAR SEAT WARMERS ON. I SUFFERED 1ST AND 2ND DEGREE BURNS TO MY BACK FROM THE CAR SEAT WARMERS. I HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES. THE PAIN WORSENED, AND I IMMEDIATELY SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION. I REPORTED THIS TO GMC CLAIMS ON THE SAME DAY. I HAD PICTURES TAKEN OF MY BACK ON THE DAY OF THE INJURY, AND 2 DAYS LATER. GMC CLAIMS ON FEB 26TH TOLD ME MY CAR SEAT TEMPS (RAYTECH 120.1 F WITH LEATHER ON; 170 F WITH LEATHER OFF) ARE WITHIN NORMAL RANGE AND THIS CLAIM DOES NOT ACTUALLY EVEN NEED TO BE SETTLED BY GMC. THESE TEMPERATURES WERE TAKEN BY GMC'S INVESTIGATION SPECIALIST. I WITNESSED THE INVESTIGATION. I SPOKE TO A FORENSIC ENGINEER ON MARCH 5, 2010, WHO STATED THE TEMPERATURES READ FROM THE RAYTEC ARE INACCURATE AS THEY WERE NOT DONE DURING COMPRESSION OF THE CAR SEAT TO SIMULATE SITTING IN THE SEAT. THIS FORENSIC ENGINEER INFORMED ME THAT THE ACCURATE TEMPERATURES WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER . I HAVE NOT TRIED THE SEAT WARMERS SINCE MY INJURY, BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO INCUR FURTHER INJURY OR POSSIBLY WORSE, SUCH AS A FIRE HAZARD. AT THIS POINT, THE CLAIM IS ONGOING. I AM VERY UPSET WITH GMC AND THEIR HANDLING OF THIS CLAIM. IT SEEMS THAT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY ARE BEING DISREGARDED. *TR

2004 GMC SIERRA SLT DURAMAX 2500HD. 92,000 MILES. WELL -MAINTAINED. WITH NO WARNING SPEEDOMETER READ FORTY MILES TOO LOW. WE THOUGHT WE WERE ENTERING THE FREEWAY AT 60, WHILE IN FACT WE WERE GOING 20. WE ALMOST GOT RAMMED BY A TRUCK. IT IS ILLEGAL TO GO 20 ON AN INTERSTATE. THIS REQUIRED SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER REPLACEMENT COSTING $529. GM REFUSED ANY COVERAGE OF THE COST. I SUGGESTED THEY COVER HALF THE CLUSTER PART, $175. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID, "NO." IF THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THIS WOULD BE IT! I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE SEVERAL LAWSUITS REGARDING THESE SPEEDOMETERS. OUR VIN IS ON THEIR "SILENT RECALL" LIST. NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY TRAFFIC ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ISSUING OPEN ENDED RECALLS FOR SAFETY ITEMS SUCH AS THESE. THE MISSION IS TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC? *TR

AT SLOW SPEED AS I'M COMING TO A STOP I'LL FEEL THE ABS BRAKES KICK IN AND THE PEDAL WILL GO DOWN SOME MORE AND STEERING WHEEL KICK TO THE LEFT AND THE TRUCK WILL MOVE A LITTLE FARTHER INSTEAD OF STOPPING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD. THE CONTACT PERFORMED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE (4 -WHEEL DRIVE) CONTAINED PINHOLES, WHICH LED TO AN INTERNAL FLUID LEAK. THE TRANSFER CASE FLUID LEVEL WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. THE LOCKING CLIP FAILED, WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE LOCKING CLIP. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

VEHICLE DIES FROM TIME TO TIME, AND WILL NOT START FROM 10 TO 45 MINUTES LATER AFTER THE ENGINE DIES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERE IS NO ELECTRICAL TO ANY OF THE STARTING CIRCUITS. THE FIRST FAILURE HAPPENED ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, SPEED SET AT 70 MPH, IN LEFT LANE. POWER STEERING LOST, POWER BRAKING LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS CRITICAL, MEDIAN WAS WOODED SO HAD TO STEER DEAD VEHICLE TO RIGHT LANE AND OFF HIGHWAY. THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENED 11 TIMES AND THE LAST TWO WERE IN TRAFFIC, WITH THE NEXT TO LAST BEING IN A CURVE ON A 4 LANE UNDIVIDED STATE HIGHWAY AND COMING WITHIN INCHES OF A REAR END COLLISION. THE VEHICLE WAS FOUND TO HAVE LOOSE PINS AT CONNECTOR, BUT THE MECHANIC SAID HE WAS UNSURE THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM, THIS WAS AT THE FIRST FAILURE IN 2004. THE LAST TIME IT DIED WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY, RESULTING IN DODGING TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP AND HAS BEEN THERE FOR CLOSE TO ONE MONTH, WITH NO SURE CAUSE OF FAILURE. GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER SAID THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY GMC K2500 IN THE WORLD WITH THIS REPORTED PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE FAILS AT VARIOUS TIMES AND DATES. BEGINNING ON 05/09/04 TO 06/28/09 AND WAS PLACED IN THE REPAIR SHOP ON 07/02/09 THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE DUE TO LOSS OF ALL POWER ASSIST AND DIFFICULT TO BRAKE AND STEER DURING THIS CONDITION. DURING VARIOUS REPAIR SHOP VISITS "NOTHING IS FOUND" EXCEPT THE DOWNLOAD SHOWS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL FAILURES....... *TR

I HAVE A COMPLAINT WITH GMC. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS AS WELL AS OTHERS THAT I KNOW WITH THE 2003/2004 TRUCK. I HAVE A 2004 GMC SIERRA AND MY GAUGES DO NOT WORK. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY SHOWING I'M DRIVING 5MPH. MY OIL PRESSURE GAGE IS NOT RIGHT. I TALKED WITH DIFFERENT SERVICE GUYS FROM GMC DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID THEY WERE REPLACING THE PANEL CLUSTERS LEFT AND RIGHT IN THESE TRUCKS. GMC WILL NOT CONSIDER IT A RECALL. IT SHOULD BE! THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THEY SHOULD BE HELD COUNTABLE OF IT. NOT THE CONSUMER! IT SHOULD NOT MATTER HOW MANY MILES YOUR TRUCK HAS. THEY HAVE A BAD PART IN OR INSTALLED IT WRONG THEY NEED TO FIX IT.. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME! I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU CAN GET THIS INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER TO BECOME A RECALL.. THANKS AGAIN! P.S. SRY I JUST PUT TODAYS DATE IN THE INCIDENT BOX.. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED A 2004 GMC 2500HD FROM A PRIVATE PARTY. I INSPECTED THE TIRES (COOPER DISCOVERER ATR, LT265/16R16 LOAD RANGE E, DOT#3DW8 C8C 2406) AND REVEALED THAT THE TREAD AND SIDEWALLS ON ALL FOUR TIRES WERE SEPARATING. I CONTACTED THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO CONTACTED THE DEALER WHOM HE PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM. THE DEALER TOLD HIM THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT COOPER TIRE COMPANY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. UPON READING THE NHTSA COMPLAINTS AND RECALL HISTORY I REALIZE THAT IT IS USELESS TO CONTACT COOPER TIRE SINCE NHTSA HAS NOT MANDATED COOPER TO RECALL THE REST OF THE TIRES THAT WERE EFFECTED BY THE "BAD ROBBER" IN 2006. I WILL HAVE THE TIRES REPLACED AND PLACE THEM IN THE GARAGE FOR WHEN THE RECALL COMES OUT AFTER SOMEONE'S LIFE IS TAKEN DUE TO A FAILED TIRE AND A FAILED POLICY. I AM JUST GLAD THAT I INSPECTED THEM CLOSELY BEFORE I PUT MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE, ATTACHED THE 30 FOOT FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER AND HAD TO CLICK "YES" ON "WERE THERE ANY DEATHS OR INJURIES?" BELOW! *TR

ALLISON TRANSMISSION HOUSING FAILED AT 54,000 MILES. GM PAID PARTS, I PAID 1,200.00 LABOR , WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS 2 BULLETINS OUT ON DEFECTIVE HOUSING AND WHEN THEY FINISHED REPAIR THEY SAID THEY INSTALLED UPDATED HOUSING SO I WOULD NOT HAVE PROBLEM AGAIN. DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE PAID ANYTHING TO HAVE IT REPAIRED! AT 105,000 MILES TRANSFER CASE FAILED , COST 1,150.00 TO REPAIR, HAVE HAD TO TAKE BACK 2 MORE TIMES AS REPAIR WAS NOT DONE RIGHT.
