2004 GMC Sierra

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE VEHICLE EMITTED A LOUD EXPLOSIVE NOISE. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REVERSE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SEPARATED FROM THE ARM AND THE BOLT HAD BECOME SHREDDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHERE AN INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE STEERING BOX AND PITMAN ARM BOLT HAD SHREDDED FROM THE TIE ROD CENTER LINK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

I HAVE A 2004 GMC SIERRA THAT HAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE ABS OR BRAKE SYSTEM. THE BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT AND SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT GOES OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING BECAUSE THE A/C DRAWS POWER FROM THE BATTERY AND I CAN SEE THAT A CERTAIN LEVEL THE INDICATORS GO OFF. MOST OF THE TIME THE LIGHTS CHIME AND BLINK WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE BUT IT ALSO HAS HAPPENED WHEN JUST TURNED THE TRUCK ON. I'VE REPLACED THE ROTORS AND PADS TO STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S A GROUND OR SENSOR THAT IS FAILING. I'VE FOUND TSB FOR REGROUNDING, FAILING SENSORS, OR ECBM. STILL HAVEN'T FOUND THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS. I JUST HOPE THE ABS FUNCTIONS WHEN I NEED IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FAILED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000. *TR

WHEN COMING TO A RED LIGHT I TRIED TO STOP MY TRUCK. UPON PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDDLE THE FIRST TIME I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. UPON PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDDLE THE SECOND TIME, THE PEDDLE WHEN TO THE FLOOR AND DID NOT SLOW ME DOWN. I HAD TO RUN THE RED LIGHT AND US MY E BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AND FINALLY STOP AT A GAS STATION. WHILE WAITING FOR AAA TO PICK ME UP NOTICED BRAKE FLUID COMING OUT FROM UNDER DRIVERS SIDE. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO MY SON'S HOUSE. AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE TRUCK HE TOLD ME THE BRAKE LINES FROM THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK HAD BROKEN. HE SUGGESTED WE REPLACE ALL THE BRAKE LINES, WHICH WE DID. ALL THE ORIGINAL LINES WERE ROTTING AWAY. WHEN WE REMOVED THE BRAKE LINES THEY ALL BROKE INTO PIECES . WE REPLACED ALL THE ORIGINAL LINES WITH STAINLESS STEEL LINES AT COST OF $400.00 PLUS I FOUND A FRONT AND A REAR CALIPERS FROZEN, SO I REPLACED ALL THE BRAKES AND CALIPERS. THERE IS NO WAY THE BRAKE LINES ON A 8 YEAR OLD TRUCK SHOULD BE FOUND IN THIS SHAPE. THE ORIGINAL LINES LOOKED LIKE ALUMINUM COATED STEEL. *TR

I LEFT MY HOUSE FOR WORK AND APPROX. 3 BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD NO BRAKES. AT THIS TIME AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME, THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. I WAS DRIVING AT 30 MPH WITH NO BRAKES, I COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT AND USED THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK. OUTSIDE AND UNDER THE DRIVERS DOOR OF THE 2004 SIERRA EXTENDED CAB THERE WAS BRAKE FLUID LEAKING. THE 8 YEAR OLD TRUCK HAD RUSTED BRAKE LINES THAT FAILED. MY CONCERN IS THAT I LOST ALL BRAKES WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH I NOTICED MANY OF THESE TRUCKS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ARE 5000 POUND TORPEDOS ON THE ROAD AND WITHOUT WARNING. WILL SOMETHING BE DONE BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS? I TRIED CONTACTING GMC VIA THEIR WEBSITE E-MAIL BUT AN ERROR MESSAGE OCCURRED. TRY A COMPLAINT ON THEIR SITE.....IT DON'T WORK!!! *TR

I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY AND COMPLETELY LOST ALL BRAKES AND COULD NOT STOP. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP. A BRAKE LINE BLEW. ALL THE BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES ARE COMPLETELY ROTTED.THIS VEHICLE ISN'T EVEN 10 YEARS OLD YET. THE FUEL LINE AND BRAKE LINES ARE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS TRUCK IS A 2500 AND I USE IT FOR TOWING TRAILERS IF THAT BRAKE LINE WENT WHILE TOWING IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE ENTIRE UNDERNEATH OF THIS TRUCK IS SO RUSTED THE FRAME BRAKE LINE AND FUEL LINES ARE TERRIBLE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED FROM GM'S CHEAP STEEL. *TR
