2002 GMC Sierra complaints

VEHICLE IS A 2002 GMC 6.0L 2500HD SIERRA TRUCK. IT HAS THE GM HYDROBOOST BRAKING SYSTEM (BRAKE ASSIST IS FROM THE POWER STEERING PUMP). THE PRESSURE LINE RUNNING FROM THE BRAKE BOOSTER TO THE STEERING RACK WAS INCORRECTLY ROUTED, RESULTING IN A VERY SHARP BEND IN THE FLEXIBLE PART OF HOSE. THE HOSE CRACKED AT THIS POINT, AND LEAKED SOME. THE FAILURE WAS CAUGHT EARLY, AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR FIRE. HOWEVER, IF THIS LEAK HAD NOT BEEN NOTICED, AT SOME POINT ALL POWER ASSIST BRAKING AND STEERING COULD HAVE BEEN LOST. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE INCORRECT ROUTING, AND THE OLD HOSE IF NEEDED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING FRONT SEAT WILL AUTOMATICALLY MOVE FORWARD, PINNING THE DRIVER AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER. HOWEVER, PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK.. THE OWNERS MANUAL TELLS HOW TO ACTIVATE THE MEMORY SETTING FOR FRONT SEATS., BUT IT DOESN'T TELL HOW TO DEACTIVATE IT. *AK

THE DISC BRAKE PADS JAM AND FAIL TO MAKE PROPER CONTACT WITH THE ROTORS WHEN DIRT GETS IN THE AREA THAT THE BRAKE PADS RIDE ON 'RUNNERS (STAINLESS STEEL SHEET METAL COVERS THE MOUNTING FRAME WHERE IT RIDES . THE CLEARANCE IS SO CLOSE AND ROAD IT WILL JAM THE PADS. THIS REQUIRES DISASSEMBLY OF ALL OF THE BRAKE CALIPER AND GRINDING OF THE ROTOR FREQUENTLY. THE PADS NOT PRESSING ON THE ROTORS PROPERLY ALLOW THE ROTOR TO RUST FURTHER DEGRADING THE BRAKE PERFORMANCE AND CAUSES UNEVEN BRAKING AND GREATLY INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE -- I HAVE HAD TO OVERHAUL THE BRAKES THREE TIMES AND THE REPAIR MECHANIC SAYS ALL GM TRUCKS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM

FRONT SUSPENSION/ STEERING 'RATTLES' EXCESSIVELY WHEN IN A TURN AND ROAD ROUGH TO THE POINT I MUST ACCOMMODATE IT IN HOW I DRIVEN TURNS. THE RATTLE ALMOST GOES AWAY AFTER THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS LUBED BUT IS BACK IN ABOUT 500 MILES OF DRIVING. *JB

THE TAILGATE STRAPS ON MY 2002 GMC SEIRRA BOTH BROKE AT THE SAME TIME AND THE TAILGATE FELL DOWN TO THE BUMPER. MY LOCAL GM DEALER KNEW OF A PROBLEM BUT STATED THAT NO NEW ITEM HAD BEEN MADE TO CORRECT THE STRAP PROBLEM, SO THEY JUST PUT NEW STRAPS BACK ON MY TRUCK, JUST LIKE THE ONES THAT BROKE. *AK

MY 2002 GMC SIERRA HAS A BRAKING PROBLEM WHEN STOPPING FROM A SLOW SPEED. I TOOK MY CONCERN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE REAR ROTORS WERE RUSTED AND MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A WARRANTY ISSUE AS THE TRUCK HAS 32,000 MILES AND IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD, IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT IS. THEY TELL ME IT IS BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST AND IS NOT A DEFECT IN MATERIALS. IN 2002 AT A BRAKE SYMPOSIUM, SPONSERED BY THE MANUFACTURERS, IT WAS NOTED THAT GMC TOOK THE METAL CHROMIUM OUOF THE ROTOR ALLOY TO SAVE MONEY. CHROMIUM RESISTS RUST. IS THERE ANY HELP AVAILABLE?

PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR REQUIRED BRAKES AND ROTORS TO BE REPLACED AT 32,000 MILES. SERVICE ORDER INDICATED "DELAMINATION" OF BRAKE ROTOR CAUSED THE WEAR. THIS IS CONTRARY TO THE "LONG LIFE" BRAKES THAT WERE INDICATED TO ME DURING THE SALE OF THIS VEHICLE. BOUGHT NEW.*AK

CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A TIRE ROTATION, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ROTORS WERE EATING UP THE BRAKE PADS. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE BRAKING SYSTEM BY RESURFACING THE ROTORS AND PROVIDING NEW PADS. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE STEEL BEING USED THE ROTORS WILL CONTINUE TO EAT UP THE PADS, AND THIS OPERATION WILL NEED TO BE RESOLVED EVERY 10,000 MILES. MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE CLIMATE WHERE CONSUMER LIVED WAS THE REASON WHY THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. *AK

VEHICLE HAS 19000 MILES ON IT AND THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE BADLY SCORED AND RUSTED, RESULTING IN A PULSATING BRAKE PEDAL AND THE REQUIREMENT OF GREATER BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS PRIMARILY WITH THE REAR BRAKES, BUT THE FRONT BRAKES ARE STARTING TO SHOW THE SAME SIGNS. A RECENT BRAKE INSPECTION INDICATES THAT THE BRAKE PADS ARE WELL WITHIN TOLERANCE FOR WEAR, BUT THE ROTORS WILL NOT PASS PENNSYLVANIA STATE SAFETY INSPECTION IN THEIR CURRENT CONDITION. I HAVE CONSULTED WITH AT LEAST FOUR OTHER INDIVIDUALS WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES THAT HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

RECENTLY TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR ROUTINE TIRE ROTATION AND ALIGNMENT AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY PARKING BRAKE WAS WORE OUT. I ONLY HAVE 55,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND I HAVE NEVER USED THE PARKING BRAKE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS COMMON WEAR BY THE DEALER AND GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING EITHER. IF IT HAS TO WORK TO PASS INSPECTION THEN IT SHOULD BE A SAFTEY ISSUE. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE SERVICE TECH THAT IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THESES TRUCKS AND HE THINKS THE CABLE IS TOO SHORT AND THE BRAKE WEARS GOING DOWN THE ROAD. *AK

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES FROM LOW SPEED BRAKE PEDAL PULSATED, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE . DEALER STATED THE ROTORS WERE RUSTED AND FLAKING. *AK

EXTERIOR DRIVER SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR HAD TO BE REPLACED 3 TIMES BECAUSE OF SEVERE VIBRATION. THE VIBRATION WAS SO SEVERE THAT THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO SEE ONCOMING VEHICLES. *AK

THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 6 TIMES, HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE OR SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK THE BRAKES WOULD MOMENTARILY PAUSE IN STOPPING ACTION, ALONG WITH INTERMITTENT GRABBING, THEN REPEAT ITSELF. BRAKE PULSATION WAS ALSO PRESENT. *SC *JB

I HAVE A 2002 3/4 TON CREW CAB SIERRA WITH DURAMAX DIESEL AND ALLISON TRANSMISSION. THE TRUCK HAS 17000 MILES. OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS, I HAVE HAD TWO SHOCK ABSORBERS FAIL CATASTROPHICALLY DUE TO A WELD AT THE BOTTOM ATTACHMENT POINT. IN THE FIRST CASE, THE SHOCK WAS LODGED IN THE BOTTOM A ARM ASSEMBLY. THIS CAUSED THE STEERING TO BEHAVE STRANGELY. UPON SERVICING THE OTHER SHOCK, A CRACK IN THE WELD WAS FOUND. MY DEALER SAYS THAT SHOCKS ARE A MAINTENANCE ITEM AND REFUSES DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE IS ALSO NOT CONCERNED, THOUGH THEY FILED A CASE..1-204723707 *JB

MY 2002 GMC 2500HD TRUCK THIS PAST WEEKEND HAD A FAILURE IN THE TAILGATE CABLE SYSTEM. I WAS DRIVING MY ATV INTO THE BED WHEN THE LEFT CABLE BROKE AND THE TAILGATE SUDDENLY LOWERED A FEW INCHES. FORTUNATELY, THE RIGHT CABLE DIDN'T BREAK OR SERIOUS INJURY WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. AFTER LOOKING AT THE BROKEN CABLE, THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF RUST INSIDE THE PLASTIC COVERING ON THE WIRE STRANDS THAT MAKE UP THE CABLE. THERE IS NO WAY TO INSPECT THE CABLES FOR A POTENTIAL HAZARD PRIOR TO A CATASTROPHIC OCCURRENCE. I WILL BE REPLACING MINE WITH A STAINLESS STRAP SYSTEM SO THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND WHEN BRAKES WERE HOT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH STOPPING. THIS CONDITION OCCURRED SIX TIMES. DEALER CLAIMED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE.*AK

HARD KNOCK OF ENGINE ON STARTUP,WORSE IN COLDER WEATHER, LASTING A COUPLE OF MINUTES. HAVE REPORTED PROBLEM TO MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP WHOM BOTH STATE THIS KNOCK IS NORMAL AND WOULD HAVE NO BEARING ON THE LONGEVITY OR DURABILITY OF THE MOTOR. FIRST NOTICED KNOCK AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3600 MILES AND CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM AT 36,000MILES. *JB

GMC SIERRA. I HAVE HAD IT IN FOR THE MIRRORS VIBRATING 4 TIMES. I CAN NOT SEE 200 FEET BEHIND MY VEHICLE AT TIMES AS REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA VC 26709. GMC HAS CALLED IT A SAFETY ISSUE AND BLAMES IT ON THE FOLLOWING IN AN EMAIL I RECEIVED 12/23/03. *JB AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION WITH TECHNICAL SOURCES, WE HAVE COME TO THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS. THE VIBRATION IN YOUR MIRRORS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THEREFORE, SWAPPING OUT THE MIRROR WITH ONE OF THE SAME TYPE, WHICH IS THE ONLY TYPE YOUR VEHICLE CAN ACCOMMODATE, WILL NOT SOLVE THAT PROBLEM. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *JB

A FIRESTONE STEELTEX AT (245-75 R16 LR E) MOUNTED ON THE LR OF MY 2002 GMC SIERRA 2500HD FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON HIWAY 58 IN THE VICINITY OF TEHACHEPI CA AT APPROX 1630 HRS. THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE SIDEWALL/BODY OF THE TIRE EXPOSING STEELBELTS. THE TREAD WAS NOT RECOVERABLE. THE FAILED TIRE DID NOT EXPLODE OR DISINTEGRATE AND REMAINED INFLATED. THE TIRE HAD ACCUMULATED 32650 MILES SINCE NEW (OEM TIRE) WITHOUT INCIDENT. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE INFLATED TO 75PSI AT 0630 AM THAT MORNING IN VACAVILLE CA, AND CHECKED IN BAKERFIELD DURING A FUEL STOP. ALL TIRES WERE WITHIN 1 LB OF ANOTHER AND REGISTERED 84 PSI (WARM INFLATION PRESSURE). CONTACT WITH FIRESTONE INDICATED THAT THE TIRE SHOULD BE INSPECTED BY FIRESTONE ENGINEERS TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE WAS SHIPPED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR INSTRUCTIONS. FIRESTONE ENGINEERS CONCLUDED THAT THE TIRE WAS "OPERATED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AT A PRESSURE INSUFFICIENT FOR THE LOAD BEING CARRIED". THE LOAD ON THE TIRE WAS ESTIMATED NOT TO EXCEED 2500 LBS. THE FAILED TIRE RETAINED NEARLY 70 PSI WHEN CHECKED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FAILURE DESPITE A SMALL LEAK FROM THE SEPARATION. THE TIRE WAS NOT DAMAGED BY ROAD HAZARDS OR OTHERWISE SUBJECTED TO NEGLECT. ALL TIRES WERE ROUTINELY ROTATED AT 7500 MILES INTERVALS AND MOST RECENTLY ROTATED AT 30000 MILES.

THE ENGINE IS NO GOOD, THEY SAY THAT THE KNOCKING AT TICKING IS OK, GM HAS PUT OUT A NOTICE INDICATING THAT THIS IS WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS. IF YOU HEARD MY TRUCK RUN YOU WOULD THINK IT WAS ABOUT TO FAIL!

FRONT STEERING TIE RODS FOLDED IN HALF ON TWO OCCASSIONS WHILE CLIMBING A HILL OFF ROAD. ALL STEERING WAS LOST MID WAY UP THE HILL, WITH NO WAY TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS COVERED UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. I AM AFFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IT IS IN THE SHOP AS WE SPEAK FOR THE SECOND TIME.

I STARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER VEHICLE WAS SITTING FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS. WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE STARTED ACCELERATING, EVEN THOUGH I HAD NOT YET PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. EVEN WITH MY FOOT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD, THE VEHICLE STOPPED BRIEFLY, BUT THEN THE REAR TIRES BRIEFLY SPUN AND THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING IN REVERSE AGAIN, DRAGGING THE LOCKED FRONT TIRES. AFTER 25 FEET, VEHICLE HIT PARKED VEHICLE ON OTHER SIDE OF STREET. VEHICLE STOPPED, BUT REAR WHEELS CONTINUED TO SPIN UNTIL I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK .
