ON OCT. 12, 20115, WHILE DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY TO THE GROCERY STORE, AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRAKE LINE RUPTURED. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I PURCHASED A NEW BRAKE LINE AND REPLACED IT. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE CALIPER BECAUSE OF CORROSION. DURING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE LINE I INSPECTED THE OTHER BRAKE LINES. THEY WERE ALSO RUSTY. I CALLED MY SERVICE CENTER AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S A RESULT OF THE PRE-TREATMENT SOLUTION THEY SPRAY ON THE ROADS IN THE WINTER. ON JANUARY 11TH OF THIS YEAR, A SECOND BRAKE LINE RUPTURED WHEN A CAR PULLED OUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME ON THE SAME ROAD AS BEFORE. THIS TIME IT WAS THE BRAKE LINE THAT RUNS FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE ABS MODULE. I PURCHASED THIS 2007 GMC SIERRA 2500HD BRAND NEW IN NOV OF 07'. IT HAS 17,510 ORIGINAL MILES. I WASH THE UNDER CARRIAGE EVERY SPRING AS I HAVE ON ALL MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES. MY FIRST CHEV. PICKUP I HAD FOR 20 YEARS AND NEVER HAD A BRAKE LINE ISSUE!! WHEN I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER WHERE I HAVE MY VEHICLES SERVICED HE TOLD ME THEY ARE SEEING A LOT OF PICKUPS COMING IN WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. HE TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE INSTALLING THE NEW COPPER/ ZINC BRAKE LINES WHICH RESIST THE ROAD TREATMENTS. WHEN I ASKED IF THERE'S A CHARGE HE SAID FOR JUST REPLACING THE BRAKE LINES IT WOULD BE $1,500. BEING RETIRED ON A FIXED INCOME I CANNOT AFFORD ANYWHERE NEAR THAT MUCH! BEING THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE I FEEL GMC SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE THESE INFERIOR BRAKE LINES. I C

MY TRUCK HAS A FAULTY DASHBOARD AND IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

GENERAL MOTORS GMC SIERRA DURAMAX EQUIPPED PICK UP TRUCKS (LMM SERIES) HAVE AN ISSUE WITH LEAKING TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES WHERE THE RUBBER HOSES ARE CRIMPED TO THE STEEL CONNECTORS. THE PROBLEM IS A FIRE HAZARD DUE TO LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. GM HAS ALREADY ISSUED REPLACEMENT OF THESE HOSES FOR THE 2008 MODEL YEAR. IN 2007 GM HAD A SPLIT YEAR OFFERING FOR THE DURAMAX. THE 2007 VERSION WAS A SERIES LBZ. IN THE SECOND HALF OF 2007 (DUE TO EMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS) GMC INTRODUCED THE MODEL YEAR DESIGNATION 2007.5. THE 2007.5 WERE THE FIRST OF THE LMM SERIES. THE 2007.5 ARE IDENTICAL TO MODEL YEAR 2008. THE 2007.5 LMM SERIES HAVE THE SAME LEAKING TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE SAME DECISION AS THE 2008 MODELS. SINCE THE 2007.5 SHOW UP AS "2007" MODEL YEAR THEY HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED. GM HAS MISSED THIS SMALL GROUP OF 1/2 YEAR VEHICLES (I BELIEVE AN OVERSIGHT) IN THE HOSE REPLACE RECALL. SINCE THIS ISSUE HAS ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED FOR 2008 VEHICLES THE SAME ISSUE APPLIES FOR 2007.5 MODELS. THEY SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED BUT CURRENTLY ARE NOT. I'M HOPING THAT THE AWARENESS OF THE UNUSUAL SPLIT YEAR MODELS (SERIES LMM) IS REALIZED AND THEIR VIN NUMBERS ADDED TO THE RECALL. *TR

I OWN A 2007 GMC SIERRA 2500HD PICKUP WITH 94278 MILES ON IT. THIS WEEK END THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING ASSY FAILED FOR THE SECOND TIME, AND THE LEFT ONE WAS ON ITS WAY TO FAILING. AT A COST OF 375.00 EACH I REPLACED BOTH SIDES.

AS I WAS LEAVING LAS VEGAS ON I 15, I GOT A MESSAGE OF REDUCED POWER. I WAS JUST OUT OF HEAVY TRAFFIC, TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH, WHEN THE ENGINE SLOWED TO ABOUT 1,000 RPM WITH OUT WARNING. FOUND OUT LATER THAT IT WAS A BROKEN LEAD WIRE TO THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 37,000 MILES ONIT. THE TRUCK IS A 2007 2500HD WITH 6.0 ENGINE. THE TRUCKI HAS NEVER BEEN WORKED ON,AND IS LINE NEW. DEALER INSTALLED P/N 88986255 CONNECTOR. I RECEIVED HALF OR THE COST BACK AFTER CALLING GMC. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM.

WENT TO RETAILER TO GET A FLAT REPAIRED - THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT REPAIRABLE ANDSOLD ME A USED TIRE. WITHIN 250 MILES AFTER PURCHASE THE TREAD SEPARATED - AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK. NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TIRE NOR THE RETAILER WOULD HELP WITH THE SUBSTANTIAL REPAIR COSTS. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND ENGINES GOES INTO REDUCED POWER MODE. DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO GO OVER 40 MPH. WHILE PULLING A TRAILER THE ENGINE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO CLIMB HILLS OR GO OVER 25 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAY GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT. IT'S NOT SAFE HAVING A VEHICLE THAT BREAKS DOWN IN -15 DEGREE WEATHER AND HAVING THE DEALER TELL YOU THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AND TO JUST KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC SIERRA 2500. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL AT 45 MPH, THE ROTORS BECAME WARPED AND BEGAN SMOKING. THE CONTACT SMELLED A BURNING ODOR.

TIRE PRESSURE RECOMMENDED TOO HIGH. I BOUGHT A NEW 2007 GMC SIERRA 2500HD DIESEL CREW CAB LONG BED. AND THE REQUIRED TIRE PRESSURE FRONT IS 60PSI. THE REQUIRED REAR IS 80 PSI. COLD. THE DIAGNOSTICS ON DASH WARN YOU WHEN THE PRESSURE IS HIGH OR LOW BY 2LBS. THE PART THAT BOTHERS ME IS I PRIMARILY DRIVE THE TRUCK EMPTY AND IT IS VERY SQUIRRELLY AND HARD RIDING WHEN EMPTY AND TIRES AT 80 PSI. ESPECIALLY IN WET WEATHER. THE OTHER THING THAT BOTHERS ME IS THE TIRES ARE SIZE 245 75 R 16 E DESIGNED FOR NO MORE THAN 80 PSI COLD. THERE IS NO ROOM TO ALLOW LOWERING TIRE TO A SAFE PRESSURE WHEN TRUCK IS EMPTY. THE ONLY OTHER SOLUTION IS TO ADD WEIGHT TO THE BED OF THE TRUCK TO PUT TRACTION TO REAR TIRES AND I DON'T THINK THAT IS REALISTIC. BEFORE SOMEONE HAS AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO OBEY THE LABEL MAYBE THIS LABEL AND DIAGNOSTICS SHOULD BE CHANGED. *TR

USE OF ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL CAUSING DAMAGE IN EARLIER DIESEL ENGINES. *TR
