| 2003 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE, I TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER AND UPON INVESTIGATION FOUND A CORRODED BRAKE LINE THAT HAD FAILED. AS THEY INVESTIGATED FURTHER THEY FOUND THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC MOST OF MY ADULT LIFE AND HAVE NEVER EVER HEARD OF CORRODED BRAKE LINES ON A 9 YEAR OLD TRUCK. THIS IS INSANE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE????? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMEONE IS KILLED?????? I HAVE NO PROBLEM TAKING THIS TO THE SUPREME COURT. WHEN DOES MONEY TAKE THE PLACE OF THE MOST BASIC SAFETY FEATURE KNOWN TO THE AMERICAN AUTO MAKERS???? I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MANY GM AUTO'S AND TRUCKS THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO CORRECT IT!!!!!! HOW DO THEY SLEEP AT NIGHT? *TR |
| 2001 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM | I HAVE OWNED MY 2001 GMC SIERRA 2500HD TRUCK SINCE IT WAS NEW. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 92,000 MILES ON IT. DURING THE TIME I HAVE OWNED IT, IT HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS COMING LOOSE, DUE TO LOOSING STUDS, BROKEN STUDS OR THE STUDS JUST FALLING OUT. THE TWO DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPAIRED THIS PROBLEM FOUR OR FIVE TIMES WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AGAIN. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS KIND OF PROBLEM ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED AND I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES. THE DANGER THAT THIS PROBLEM CREATES IS THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE AND CARBON MONOXIDE IN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. GM/THE DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, SO I AM FORCED TO TURN IT OVER TO YOU. *TR |
