1993 GMC Sierra

REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION 4 TIMES, RECALL ON SEATS WERE FIXED BUT BOLTS KEEP BREAKING SO I BOUGHT NEW SEATS OF A DIFFERNT STYLE AND REPLACED THEM AFTER A 5 YEAR PROBLEM. PAINT HAS BEEN FLAKING OFF THE TRUCK FOR APPOXIMATELY 4 YRS AND I CANT GET THE DEALER OR GM TO DO ANYTHING WITH THIS PAINT PROBLEM. THEY SAY IT IS BECAUSE I AM THE SECOND OWNER. THE TRUCK WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BUT THE TOP OF THE CAB AND THE BED IS ALL THAT NEEDS PAINTED, AND THEY WERE NOT DAMAGED IN ANYWAY BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.

#1 TRANSMISSION. SLIPS OUT OF GEAR INTO NUETRAL WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MUST COAST OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, TURN OFF ENGINE, WAIT, RESTART AND CONTINUE ON. NARROWLY CAUSED A COLLISION WITH A SEMI TRUCK WHILE COASTING TO SIDE OF ROAD. COMPLAINED TO DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NOW TRANS IS LOCKED IN 2ND GEAR AND WON'T SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR. #2 PAINT. STARTED CHIPPING WITHIN 6 MONTHS OLD AND LESS THAN 2500 MILES. DEALERS SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE. ROOF IS NOW RUSTED THROUGH AND HEADLINER IS HANGING DOWN. DEALER AND ZONE REP SAY GMC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE AND REFUSE TO REPAIR AND REPAINT. #3 SEAT BELT RETRACTOR. DRIVER'S SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT AND IS VERY LOOSE. IT WOULD NOT PREVENT INJURY OR DEATH IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH. DEALER AND ZONE REP DENY RESPONSIBILITY AND REFUSE TO REPAIR EXCEPT AT MY EXPENSE. #4 RADIO. RADIO HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES BY THE DEALER SINCE NEW AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE OR REPAIR IT AGAIN. VOLUME MUST BE TURNED UP ALL THE WAY TO BE HEARD. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH EVERY RADIO THEY SAY THEY HAVE REPLACED.

PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING.*MR THE VEHICLE WENT FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD COST HIM $4000.00 AND TO REBUILD AN OLD ONE WOULD BE $3000.00. THE CONSUMER HAS MADE ONGOING COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VEHICLE AND FEELS THE COST OF THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE LOWERED. NOT ONLY HAS THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION ,BUT THE ROOF OF THE TRUCK INCLUDING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE HEAD LINER THAT NOW HANGS DOWN WHICH WAS DUE TO THE ROOF LEAKING, THE CONSUMER HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR AS WELL AS THE RADIO SYSTEM. *CB THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD A BROKEN SEAT BACK RECLINER, THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT TURN OFF, THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WOULD NOT ENGAGE, THE SHOCKS WERE BAD AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEED OF AN ALIGNMENT. *JB

TRANSMISSION. COMES OUT OF DRIVE WHILE MOVING AND TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL. DRIVER MUST COAST OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF ROADWAY, STOP, TURN OFF ENGINE, WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES THEN RESTART ENGINE. CAN CAUSE A COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES WHILE COASTING TO THE EDGE OF ROADWAY. HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO GMC FOR 10 YEARS WITH NO CORRECTION OF PROBLEM. I NARROWLY AVOIDED A COLLISION WHILE COASTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *LA

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THE PAINT IS PEELING SO BAD IT IS DOWN TO THE METAL. THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW GETS STUCK AT VARIOUS POSITIONS. WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WENT OUT DURING A SNOW STORM. STARTER AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO.THIS TRUCK HAS HAD ALOT OF PROBLEMS FOR BEING ONLY 7 YEARS OLD.
