1996
STRUCTURE
IїM GOING TO LIST EVERY SAFETY DEFECT WITH MY 1996 GMC SIERRA SINCE I PURCHASED IT USED IN 2008. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT I HEARD A SWISHING SOUND IN THE HEATER CORE AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST LOW ON ANTI FREEZE AND THAT MY REPAIR FACILITY COULD FIX THE AIR BAG; BUT AS IT TURNS OUT THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS BAD AND I COULDN'T AFFORD TO GET THE AIR BAG FIXED. THE SWISHING SOUND WAS CAUSED BY AIR IN THE COOLING SYSTEM DUE TO A LEAKING INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET; IT HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR 600.00 $. A BRAKE LINE RUSTED OUT (YES I KNOW ITїS AN OLD TRUCK), THE FUEL LINES ARE RUSTING AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED SOON, AND THE OIL COOLER LINES ARE LEAKING BECAUSE GM VEHICLES HAVE FLUID LINES THAT ARE PRONE TO FAILURE. THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS DONїT ALWAYS TURN ON WHEN ITїS RAINING BECAUSE OF CRACKED SOLDER JOINTS IN THE CONTROL MODULE AND I REPLACED A HEATER/FAN MOTOR. I PULLED MY ABS FUSE AND DISABLED THE SYSTEM BECAUSE MY ABS WAS ACTIVATING ON DRY PAVEMENT AT LOW SPEEDS AND CAUSING AN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE; A REAL DANGER IN PARKING LOTS WHERE A CHILD COULD RUN OUT IN FRONT OF MY TRUCK. I DONїT HAVE A GRAND TO REPLACE RUSTED HUBS AND SENSORS TO MAKE MY ABS WORK AGAIN. THE DRIVERS SIDE CAST METAL DOOR HANDLE BROKE AND I REPLACED IT MYSELF WITH A DEALER PART FOR 80.00$ ONE WOULD HATE TO BE IN A WRECK AND HAVE THE HANDLE FAIL WHEN THAT DOOR IS THE ONLY EXIT IN AN EMERGENCY! IїM ON MY THIRD FUEL PUMP AND FORTH FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT WHICH IS THE REASON WHY IїM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT. MY TRUCK COULD STALL OUT IN TRAFFIC AT ANY TIME AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE OR CONFIDENT DRIVING IT; I FEEL ITїS A BAD DESIGN AND A SAFETY ISSUE. THE PUMP AND SENDING UNIT ARE IN THE FUEL TANK, WHICH IN AN INCONVENIENT LOCATION AT BEST. I CANїT SPARE 500.00 OR 600.00 EVERY YEAR OR SO TO HAVE NEW COMPONENTS INSTALLED IN MY GAS TANK, IF YOU WANT TO BUY AN OLD GM OR CHEVY TRUCKї..YOU'VE BEEN FOREWARNED! *TR

TIRES
OEM TIRES HAVE EXTREMELY POOR WET PAVEMENT TRACTION. FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED LESS THAN 30 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. IT HAD RAINED HEAVILY FOR AN EXTENDED TIME THAT DAY AND CONTINUING MODERATELY INTO THE EVENING. APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION WHERE I INTENDED TO MAKE A TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET, I BEGAN SLOWING TO WHAT I CONSIDERED A SAFE AND PRUDENT SPEED GIVEN THE ROAD CONDITIONS. UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE STOPPED RESULTING IN SLIDING COMPLETELY STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, LUCKILY ON A GREEN SIGNAL LIGHT, AND WITH NO OTHER TRAFFIC IN MY PATH. REALIZING I WAS NOT SLOWING SUFFICIENTLY TO NEGOTIATE THE TURN, I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND CONTINUED DOWN THE SAME STREET TO A SAFE AREA TO TURN AROUND AND RETURN TO THE STREET I INTENDED TO TURN ONTO. SECOND INCIDENT, AGAIN ON WET PAVEMENT, WAS AFTER MAKING A COMPLETE STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROLLED INTERSECTION. WHEN THE SIGNAL LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN, I STARTED NEGOTIATING A LEFT TURN. APPROXIMATELY HALF WAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, AT A SPEED OF LESS THAN 10 MPH, REAR TIRES LOST TRACTION AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TRIED TO SWAP ENDS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY WIFE YELLED AT ME TO STOP DOING WHATEVER IT WAS THAT I DID TO CAUSE SUCH ACTION, TO WHICH I REPLIED. I DID NOT DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN START MOVING FORWARD AT A SLOW PACE AND WAS JUST AS SURPRISED AS SHE WAS BY THE BEHAVIOR OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
