2004 GMC Sierra complaints

2004 GMC SIERRA PICKUP WITH A BAD ICP)GIVING THE WRONG SPEEDOMETER READING. IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? TO BE IN A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT GIVING THE CORRECT SPEED. COST FOR THIS REPAIR IS ANYWHERE FROM $400 TO $650. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS FROM GMC. I HAVE READ PAGES ON PAGES OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND GETTING SOAKED FOR THIS MONEY. GMC SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM NOT ME. *AK

04 GMC SERRIA SPEEOMETER ERRATIC AND WORK. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER OF MY 2004 GMC SIERRA WILL OFTEN NOT SHOW THE CORRECT SPEED. SOMETIMES IT GOES WAY UP, SOMETIMES WAY DOWN - EVEN TO ZERO. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER WHO SAYS IT WILL COST AT LEAST $600 TO REPAIR AND I HAVE CONTACTED GMC WHO SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO - THEY REPORT NO RECALL. MY WIFE'S 2004 CHEVY MONTE CARLO HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS SOON AFTER WE BOUGHT IT NEW - IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. FROM MY RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE VERY WIDESPREAD WITH GM PRODUCTS. I BELIEVE A FAULTY SPEEDOMETER IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY GM. *JB

MY 2004 SIERRA'S SPEEDOMETER DOESNT REGISTER SPEED PROPERLY. SOMETIMES IT STICKS AT ONE SPEED LIKE 60 OR 70 REGARDLESS OF SPEED, OR WILL REST AT A NUMBER WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOTIONLESS AND PROCEED UPWARD AS THE VEHICLE INCREASES SPEED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. SOMETIMES IT WORKS FOR A WHILE IF I CAN GET IT TO FALL BACK TO ZERO, BUT THAT DOESNT LAST LONG. IT EVENTUALLY QUITS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILURE. THE WIPERS KEPT OPERATING AT LOW SPEED WITH THE SWITCH POSITION BEING IRRELEVANT. ONLY 44500 MI. ON THE VEHICLE. SINCE, THE MOTOR CONTROL MODULE IS NOT AVAILABLE SEPARATELY THE COMPLETE MOTOR ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. *JB

I HAVE AN 04 GMC SIERRA WITH ABOUT 80,000 MILES ON IT NOW, I BOUGHT THE TRUCK WITH 70,000 AND AT ABOUT 73,000 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING. I WOULD BE DOING 65 AND THEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT GO BACK DOWN. SO I STARTED MY TRUCK REPEATEDLY UNTIL THE NEEDLE WENT BACK DOWN TO 0. ABOUT A WEEK LATER IT DID IT AGAIN, AND AGAIN THE NEXT WEEK, AND NOW THIS HAS BEEN THE 4TH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AND IT WILL NO LONGER WORK. I READ IN ONE FORUM THAT THERE WAS SUPPOSEDLY A RECALL ABOUT IT BUT I LOOKED ONLINE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND FOUND NOTHING. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL BECAUSE THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS NOT VERY CHEAP TO FIX (550.00 PLUS 150.00 FOR PROGRAMMING) AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I AM IN COLLEGE I CANNOT AFFORD THAT!!!! **OH AND I ALSO GOT A SPEEDING TICKET SO THANK YOU GM! *JB

BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM A DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST 2006. IN NOVEMBER, THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING. I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED "BUMPER-TO-BUMPER" WARRANTY AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT COVERED. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME NINETY DOLLARS TO INSPECT THE FAILURE, PLUS CHARGE ME FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION, I FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. *JB

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. SPEEDOMETER WOULD BOUNCE AROUND, THEN QUIT WORKING, STARTED WORKING, FAILED TO WORK, WENT OVER TO 125+ MPH WHEN VEHICLE NOT MOVING. SPEEDOMETER HAS WORKED ITSELF BACK AROUND TO 0 AND NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. *JB

PASSENGER FRONT SEAT BELT LOCKS WHERE PASSENGER IS NOT ABLE TO MOVE AT ALL. THE OTHER SEAT BELTS DO NOT DO THIS. DUE TO LAW WITH USING SEAT BELTS AT ALL TIMES THIS IS A PROBLEM IS AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS. PLUS, PASSENGER IS UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN TRAVELING LONG DISTANCES BEING STUCK IN ON POSITION AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE AT ALL. *NM

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC PU FAILED ON A RECENT TRIP FROM ME TO FL. AS I PULLED ONTO THE MA TRPK, I NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 85 MPH. AT THE TIME, I WAS PROBABLY GOING 60 - 65. IT THEN READ HIGHER AND HIGHER ON THE TRIP AND THE NEEDLE WAS BURIED AT TIMES. WHEN I STOPPED, THE NEEDLE WOULD DROP A LITTLE. A FEW DAYS AFTER THE TRIP WAS CONCLUDED, THE NEEDLE RETURNED TO ZERO WHEN STOPPED AND CURRENTLY RECORDS ACCURATELY. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOUR SPEEDOMETER FAILS, ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A LONG TRIP. I RECENTLY ASKED A LOCAL DEALER IF THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE "LOTS" OF SPEEDOMETERS ($350). I THEN ASKED IF THE REPLACEMENTS FAILED AND WAS TOLD "NOT YET". GM HAS NOT OFFERED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM (I WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY) AND SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO SO AND RECALL ALL FAULTY UNITS. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION ON THE INTERNET. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *JB

ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER - AFTER 20-30MIN. DRIVING, NEEDLE WILL SUDDENLY DROP TO 10MPH AND YOUR STILL AT 55 OR HIGHER. WILL EVENTUALLY GO TO 0. ONCE VEHICLED COOLS DOWN, SPEEDOMETER SEEMS TO WORK AGAIN, TEMPORARILY.

2004 SIERRA CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO A MALFUNCTION IN THE TRUCK. *TS *JB

1) AFTER PASSING 50,000 ON MY 04 GMC SIERRA 2) SPEEDOMETER STOP WORKING CORRECTING RESULTING IN TWO SPEEDING TICKETS THIS PAST SUMMER. 3) I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO ONLY HEAR, IT WILL COST YOU AROUND $800.00 TO FIX. *JB

MY SPEEDOMETER WENT FROM WORKING NORMALLY TO NOW IT STICKS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AT A STAND STILL 70 TO 80 MPH OR NOT WORKING AT ALL OR OVER 100 MPH WHEN DRIVING PROBABLY 30 MPH AM NOT SURE HOW FAST I AM GOING. AFTER RESEARCHING TO SEE IF ANY OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I FOUND THAT MANY GM CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR SPEEDOMETER. SOME OF THEM ACTUALLY PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHILE OTHERS ARE PAYING 4-7 HUNDRED AND STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM HOURS LATER AFTER PAYING TO HAVE IT FIXED. I CALLED A NEARBY GMC DEALER AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SPEEDOMETERS THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOT BUT THAT THEY WERE GETTING A LOT OF CALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF CONCERN. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A RECALL OF THE SPEEDOMETER EQUIPMENT ON 2004 GM TRUCKS . *JB

MY SPEEDOMETER WENT FROM WORKING NORMALLY TO 0 MPH BEING 75 MPH NOW I AM NOT SURE HOW FAST I AM GOING. IT JUST STARTED THIS EVENING AFTER I PICKED UP MY SON. BEFORE THAT EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. AFTER RESEARCHING TO SEE IF ANY OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I FOUND THAT MANY GM CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR SPEEDOMETER. SOME OF THEM ACTUALLY PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHILE OTHERS ARE PAYING 4-7 HUNDRED AND STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM HOURS LATER AFTER PAYING TO HAVE IT FIXED. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A RECALL OF THE SPEEDOMETER EQUIPMENT ON 2004 GM TRUCKS AND SUV'S. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE IS INOPERATIVE. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL SENDER ASSEMBLY, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ALERTED. UPDATED 7/21/2006 - THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE HAS EXHIBITED THE PROBLEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. MANY COMOPONENTS WERE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT NONE OF THEM WORKED TO PERMANENTLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM. *NM

CLUNKING NOISE ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF 2004 GMC 1500 WITH 33000 MILES. WAS IN AT DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAID THEY COULD ONLY TEMPORARILY FIX PROBLEM. WAS INTERMEDIATE STEERING SECTION AND GM HAD NOT FOUND FIX FOR IT. SAID THAT THE CLUNKING WOULD RETURN IN FEW MONTHS. THEY PUT NEW GREASE IN. WHAT AM I TO DO WHEN WARRANTY EXPIRES IN 3000 MILES AND IT RETURNS? IS THIS GOING TO CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND EVEN WORSE? *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, THE NEW TRANSMISSION HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY CONCERN IS ONE FOR TRYING TO PREVENT A FUTURE ACCIDENT. I OWN A GMC SIERRA 2500 PICKUP AND THE UPPER INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND IN GOING OUT AGAIN. THIS ALL WITHIN 40,000 MILES. I FEEL THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE PART. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE STEERING SHAFT FAILS, THE DRIVER WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2004 GMC SIERRA, THE SPEEDOMETER, KEEP ACTING UP AND THEN IT JUST QUIT. BEFORE THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY WENT OUT. SO I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND SAID IT WOULD COST ME ABOUT 1000.00 DOLLARS .I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURE. *NM

SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGE CLUSTER HAVE WORKED INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS AND HAVE NOW COMPLETELY FAILED. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHER GM TRUCK OWNERS AND APPARENTLY THIS AN EXTREMELY COMMON OCCURRENCE. SOME OF THEM WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE GOTTEN IT COVERED. I SEE FROM THE COMPLAINT SEARCH THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS HERE AS WELL. GM CHARGES AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT TO FIX THIS ISSUE AS IT REQUIRES COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUSTER. IF A TOTAL FAILURE OF A CLUSTER INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER ISN'T A SAFETY HAZARD, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. *NM

CLUNK NOISE THAT CAN BE FELT THROUGH STEERING COLUMN WHEN TRAVELING OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT AND IS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT. MANUFACTURER HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND STILL HAS FAILED TO CORRECT IT FOR MANY CUSTOMERS. MOST DEALER SERVICE CENTERS TELL CUSTOMERS THAT THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM BY LUBRICATING THE UPPER INTERMEDIATE SHAFT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS WORKS FOR MANY BUT IS JUST A TEMPORARY FIX AS IT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY THAT THE PROBLEM RETURNS AND IN MOST CASES AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. SOME OWNERS HAVE REPORTED RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP AS MANY AS 5 TIMES. *NM

2004 GMC SIERRA BRAKES FAIL WHEN THERE IS SNOW ON THE GROUND. *TS THE BRAKES WOULD GRAB AND GRIND WHILE BRAKING WHICH CAUSED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE BRAKES WORK PROPERLY ON DRY SURFACES. *NM

ON NOVEMBER 29 WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 GMC SIERRA PICKUP MY SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN OFF AND ON FOR 2 OR 3 WEEKS THEN STOPPED WORKING. AFTER CHECKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP I WAS ADVISED THIS WOULD COST 500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THE LOCAL SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAS 10 2003 CHEVY TAHOE'S THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS DEVICE MALFUNCTION. THANK YOU. *JB

HEAD ON MID SPEED COLLISION WITH TREE- NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WITH INJURY TO DRIVER-SOLE OCCUPANT. *NM

#1 04 SIERRA 4X4 RETURNED TO DEALER AFTER 2 WEEKS (9/18/04) WITH 1523 MILES FOR HARD SHIFTING. CLUTCH WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY FROM FACTORY. ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE POINT IN CLUTCH PEDAL TRAVEL IS AT FULL DEPRESSION INTO THE FIREWALL. #2 PASSENGER DOOR HARD TO CLOSE FULLY. DRIVER SIDE DOOR CLOSES AS EXPECTED WITH LITTLE EFFORT. PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY WITHOUT UNDUE FORCE BEING APPLIED OR A WINDOW CRACKED. #3 RETURNED TRUCK TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP ON 9/15/05 WITH 8,190 AND AGAIN 12/15/05 WITH 10,282 MILES. FOR A KNOCKING NOISE DURING TURNING, CLUTCH NOT ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING CORRECTLY, PASSENGER DOOR NOT CLOSING COMPLETELY, AND A NEW RATTLING NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION ALONG WITH A WHINE NOISE FROM THE GEARS. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE KNOCKING NOISE FROM A SERVICE BULLETIN CONCERNING A STEERING BUSHING. THIS DEALERSHIP ALSO STATED THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CLUTCH OR THE TRANSMISSION OR THE PASSENGER DOOR. NONE OF THE PROBLEMS WERE FIXED #5 I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE TRUCK TO AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST AFTER PICKING IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR A 3RD OPINION ON 12/20/05 WITH 10,284 MILES. HIS OPINION WAS FLATLY STATED THAT THE TRUCK HAS MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUTCH AND THE TRANSMISSION. HIS EVALUATION WAS THE CLUTCH WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY FROM THE FACTORY AND DEPRESSION INTO THE FIREWALL WAS NOT CORRECT. THE TRANSMISSION HAS SYNCHRONIZER AND POSSIBLE BUSHINGS AND BEARINGS THAT WERE FAILING. HE STATED THE NOISES ALONE WERE DEFINITE I

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT BRAKE LINES WERE RUBBING AGAINST THE CALIPER, CAUSING A HOLE/LOSS OF FLUID, AND FAILURE IN THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE LINE, AND PLACED A RUBBER BOOT WHERE THE WEARING OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID DEFECT WAS A RESULT OF THE SUSPENSION MODIFICATION TO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER MECHANIC, WHO STATED THE RUBBER BOOT WOULD NOT STOP THE WEARING, AND THE MODIFICATION COULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SLID BEFORE IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THERE WAS EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. *AK

SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AT 65 MPH & GOES UP FROM THERE SO IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CALLED GMC ABOUT RECALLS & THEY SAID THERE ARE NONE. *NM

THE CONSUMER INFORMED GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM A YEAR AGO AND THEY HAVE WORKED ON THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO FIX THE BRAKES. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. TODAY THE CONSUMER WAS WAITING ON GM TO GET BACK IN CONTACT WITH HIS DEALERSHIP. THE CONSUMER TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK AND THEY STILL HAD NOT HEARD FROM GM. THE HOLD UP ON THE CONSUMER GETTING THE BRAKES FIXED WAS GM DOING THE WORK UNDER WARRANTY. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR IN THE BRAKING POWER.*AK *MR THE CONSUMER STATED GM DID CONTACTED HIM AND THEY DECIDED THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING MORE TO FIX THE BRAKE PROBLEM. *JB

LARGE BOLT BROKE AND FELL OUT THAT HOLD THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ON!. *JB

DT: CONTACT STATES SINCE 7-04 HAD STEERING PROBLEMS. IN 3-05 HE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC STATING THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 2-11 OR 100,000 MILES BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE PROBLEMS HE HAD BEEN HAVING WITH THE CAR. HIS WARRANTY WAS ABOUT TO RUN OUT AND HE WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH HIS TRUCK. HE WAS GOING TO FORWARD OTHER PERTINENT DOCUMENTS LATER CONCERNING THE NUMEROUS REPAIR WORK HE HAS DONE. *AK

DT: CONTACT STATES THE BRAKES HAVE A VERY SOFT PEDAL. IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT THE ANTI- LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS WORKING. TO MAKE THE VEHICLE STOP THE PEDAL HAS TO BE PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE SERVICE DEALER STATES THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS HAVE NO INFLUENCE ON THE BRAKING CAPABILITY OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER.*AK *JB

DT: THE CONTACT OWNED A 2004 GMC SIERRA 1500. HE STATED THAT VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

ON 7/10/05, WHILE PULLING MY CAMPER, WHICH IS A 04 GMC 2500HD, BOUGHT NEW TO PULL THIS CAMPER, I EXPERIENCED A FLAT R/R TIRE WITH-IN 40 MILES ON THE TRUCK. ON 7/11/04 I EXPERIENCED 2 FLAT TIRES ON THIS TRUCK DUE TO DEFECTIVE VALVE STEMS. AFTER CHECKING WITH OTHER CHEVROLET/GMC OWNERS AT CAMPGROUNDS, THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE RUBBER VALVE STEMS. I ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE STEEL VALVE STEMS INSTALLED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO TIRE FAILURE AND REPLACING TWO TIRES THAT ONLY HAD 13,500 MILES ON THEM. THE SERVICE REPAIRMAN EXPLAINED THAT DUE TO HEAT BUILDUP ON THE TIRES, THE RUBBER VALVE STEMS WILL NOT ACCEPT THE HEAT, AND FAIL. I HAD THREE FAILURES IN TWO DAYS DUE TO THIS, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND INJURY

THE INJECTORS ON MY 2004 GMC SIERRA WENT OUT AT 26,000 MILES. THE INCIDENT CAUSED ME TO LOSE MY TRUCK FOR 4 DAYS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED ALL 8 INJECTORS.

I NOTICE THE PARKING BRAKE LOSING IS CAPACITY TO BRAKE PROPERLY. I WAS MINOR AT FIRST THE ONE DAY IT JUST QUITE WORKING PROPERLY. I WASN'T AWARE OF A RECALL ON IT AT THE TIME. I TOOK IT INTO A DICK KEFFER IN CHARLOTTE. THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PARKING BREAK. I'VE ALSO TALKED TO GMC ABOUT THIS. GMC SAYS THERE IS A RECALL ON MY TRUCK BUT WOULDN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THE DEALER SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. I DO KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. MY TRUCK IS A 2004 GMC SIERRA CREW CAB LONG BOX.

DT: PURCHASED VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2003, AND ON 12-22-03 HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT. THIS OCCURRED AT A LOW SPEED AT WHICH CONSUMER TAPPED ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND. TOOK VEHICLE TO A DEALER.

CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT THIS VEHICLE MAYBE REAR ENDED. *AK THE TRUCK WAS ON AN INCLINE IN OVERDRIVE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, LET OFF THE BRAKE AND GAVE IT GAS TO MERGE INTO TRAFFICS AND THE TRUCK WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. IT HESITATED UNTIL FELT LIKE A GEAR CAUGHT AND THEN INTO TRAFFIC INSTEAD OF GOING WHEN IT NEEDED TO GO. THE SECOND TIME WAS ALMOST THE SAME WAY. *BF
