2002 GMC Sierra Complaint Log

I HAVE A 2002 GMC TRUCK. AT 38,000 MILES THE CLUTCH WENT OUT COMPLETELY. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE CLUTCH PLATE WAS OK BUT THE 2 HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

MY TRUCK IS A 2002 GMC SIERRA, AND IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE I DON'T LIVE IN THE EASTERN STATES THAT I DON'T FALL INTO THE RECALL. IT IS HAVING PURGING PROBLEMS ON THE ANTILOCK, AND IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH STOPPING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, THE BRAKES DON'T SEEM TO WANT TO STOP IT. *NM

DT: CALLER COMPLAINED ABOUT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN HEARD A NOISE AND COULD NOT GET VEHICLE TO MOVE. FINALLY, GOT IT OFF THE ROAD, BUT WAS UNABLE TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. CALLER SAID THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. MANUFACTURER WANTED DEALER TO EVALUATE THE PROBLEM AND CALL THEM BACK, AND FOR THE CALLER TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. . DEALER HAD NOT COME SEEN THE VEHICLE. *AK

I HAVE A 2002 GMC SIERRA 1500 EXTENDED CAB TRUCK WITH FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES WHICH CAME WITH THE VEHICLE. ABOUT 12:15 AM I WAS DRIVING EASTBOUND ON I-70 JUST WEST OF JUNCTION CITY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD SOUND FROM THE REAR OF MY TRUCK, AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. AT THIS POINT IT WAS ABOUT 85F, BUT FOR A GOOD PART OF THE DAY I HAD BEEN DRIVING IN 100+F HEAT (SINCE ABOUT 5 PM, WITH A BREAK IN DRIVING FROM ABOUT 8:30 PM TO 10:30 PM). I PULLED OVER, AND FOUND THAT THE TREADS FROM MY LEFT REAR TIRE HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE SIDEWALL. I PUT THE SPARE TIRE ON AND DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME (ABOUT 150 MILES). RIGHT NOW MY TIRE IS IN 3 PIECES: 2 SIDEWALLS STILL ON THE RIM, AND THE TREAD IS A SEPARATE PIECE, STILL IN A COMPLETE CIRCLE. FORTUNATELY I THINK THE DAMAGE IS LIMITED TO THE TIRE (WHICH MEANS I'M GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES), AND POSSIBLY THE RIM OF THE ONE TIRE. RIGHT NOW I HAVE ALL THE PARTS, AND WILL TRY AND KEEP THEM WHEN I HAVE THE TIRES REPLACED.

DT: CONTACT STATED THE PARKING BRAKE BANDS DRAGGED ON THE HUB OF THE REAR WHEEL EVEN THOUGH THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT BEING USED. CONSUMER HEARD A GRINDING NOISE, AND WHEN HE TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SERVICE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD HIM THE HUBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. GMC INVESTIGATED TRUCKS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS BUT NOT WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. HAD TO REPLACE THE HUBS ON 7-25-05. HAD 53,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. CONSUMER FELT THIS WAS A DEFECT AND WOULD LIKE TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HAD THIS PROBLEM. *AK *JB

DT: 2002 GMC SIERRA. THE CONSUMER STATES THE ABS BRAKES STARTED PULSATING, AND CONSUMER'S VEHICLE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THE BRAKES TO GO OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD HIM THE ABS SENSORS FAILED. THEY WERE CLEANED AND NOW THEY SEEM TO BE OKAY. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ON WHEN THIS HAPPENED. *AK *NM

HAVE 2002 GMC SIERRA AND THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES ARE FREEZING OR WORKING AT A SLOW SPEED OR A STOP. HAVE CALLED GARAGES AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE RECALL NUMBERS. SO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL RELEASED. HOW LONG MUST I WAIT!!! *JB

DT: 2002 GMC SIERRA. THE CONSUMER STATES THE STEERING SHAFT BOUNCED UP AND DOWN, IT WAS NOT CORRECTLY PUT IN. THIS CAUSED THE FRONT END BOUNCE FROM THE STEERING BOX TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED, BUT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY WERE HAVING A LOT OF THESE PROBLEMS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. ALSO, THE ROTORS A HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE SHAFT BOUNCING UP AND DOWN. THE RIGHT TIE ROD WAS ALSO REPLACED. THE PROBLEM WAS CONSTANT WITH THE VEHICLE.*AK

ANTI LOCK BRAKES WOULD ACTIVATE FOR FOR NO REASON AT ALL ONCE AND A WHILE AT SLOW SPEEDS CONDITION GOT WORSE UNTIL I COULD NOT STOP FOR A STOP SIGN AND ALSO HIT A CURB I HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSE TO DISABLE THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES TO AVOID A BAD CRASH.

DT: THE CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGING AT LOW SPEEDS OF 5-10 MPH, AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP , THE BRAKING WOULD GO AWAY COMPLETELY. THE CONSUMER HAD IT TEMPORALLY REPAIRED. THE CONSUMER HAD NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT, BUT WAS PLANNING TO DO THAT. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE IS A 2002, GMC SIERRA PICKUP. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT CHECKED WITH GM ABOUT RECALL INFORMATION. *AK

WHEN YOU ARE GOING 3 TO 6 MILES PER HOUR GOING SLOW OR COMING TO A STOP THE ABS SYSTEM FAILS CAUSING THE BRAKES NOT TO WORK, YOU HAVE TO PUSH REALLY HARD ON THE PEDAL JUST TO GET IT TO SLOW DOWN. I,VE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE GMC AND CHEVY PICK-UPS AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.THIS IS SOMETHING THE SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY GM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.I ALSO FOUND OUT TODAY THAT CANADA HAS ISSUSSED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE TO GET KILLED OR INJURED BE THE NHTSA DOES SOMETHING?

THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2002 GMC SIERRA IN WHICH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEEDS INCREASING THE STOPPING DISTANCE. *MR GM WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM IN THE NORTHERN STATES THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY CORROSION BY WINTER ROAD SALT. *SC *JB

DT: THE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS FELL APART. THE MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS AT 47,000 MILES. HE SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL. THE CONSUMER SENT LETTERS TO GMC AND THEY ARE RETURNING LETTERS. *AK *JB

2002 GMC SIERRA EXPERIENCED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE.*MR THE VEHICLE'S FRONT END BOUNCED AND MADE NOISE. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT HUB BEARING ASSEMBLY. AFTER MANY PHONE CALLS AND LETTER THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A CHECK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE CHECK COVERED THE PART NOT THE LABOR. THE CONSUMER WANTS TO KNOW WHY THIS PART WAS RECALLED IN CANADA BUT NOT IN THE US. *NM

VEHICLE IS A 2002 GMC 6.0L 2500HD SIERRA TRUCK. IT HAS THE GM HYDROBOOST BRAKING SYSTEM (BRAKE ASSIST IS FROM THE POWER STEERING PUMP). THE PRESSURE LINE RUNNING FROM THE BRAKE BOOSTER TO THE STEERING RACK WAS INCORRECTLY ROUTED, RESULTING IN A VERY SHARP BEND IN THE FLEXIBLE PART OF HOSE. THE HOSE CRACKED AT THIS POINT, AND LEAKED SOME. THE FAILURE WAS CAUGHT EARLY, AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR FIRE. HOWEVER, IF THIS LEAK HAD NOT BEEN NOTICED, AT SOME POINT ALL POWER ASSIST BRAKING AND STEERING COULD HAVE BEEN LOST. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE INCORRECT ROUTING, AND THE OLD HOSE IF NEEDED.*AK

I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT MY TRUCK (50,000 MILES) NEEDED NEW FRONT ROTORS BECAUSE MINE WERE "DE-LAMINATED" I ASKED HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN AND THE MECHANIC COULD NOT GIVE ME A CLEAR ANSWER. THE GM ASSISTANCE CENTER TOLD ME THAT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THEM THE REASON FOR THIS WAS I REFUSED SOME DEALER RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE, ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. I SPOKE TO A METALURGIST AND HE STATED THE PROBLEM WAS MOST LIKELY FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS CAUSED BY NOT COOLING THE ROTORS PROPERLY AFTER THE WERE CAST, SINCE BOTH ROTORS ARE ONLY DEFECTIVE ON THE INSIDE FACE. I ALSO OWN A 1990 CHEVY TRUCK WITH 270,000 MILES THAT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL ROTORS. I AM AFRAID THIS DEFECT COULD CAUSE AN OCCURRENCE OF BRAKE FAILURE AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK UNDER HIGHWAY CONDITIONS. ALSO, AFTER ASKING NUMEROUS OTHERS, NO ONE (OTHER THAN GM) HAS HEARD OF THIS PHENOMENON. *NM

2002 GMC SIERRA ANTI LOCK BRAKES ENGAGED WHEN CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO STOP. *MR ON ANOTHER OCCASION THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES WOULD NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO STOP.

FRONT SUSPENSION/ STEERING 'RATTLES' EXCESSIVELY WHEN IN A TURN AND ROAD ROUGH TO THE POINT I MUST ACCOMMODATE IT IN HOW I DRIVEN TURNS. THE RATTLE ALMOST GOES AWAY AFTER THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS LUBED BUT IS BACK IN ABOUT 500 MILES OF DRIVING. *JB

THE DISC BRAKE PADS JAM AND FAIL TO MAKE PROPER CONTACT WITH THE ROTORS WHEN DIRT GETS IN THE AREA THAT THE BRAKE PADS RIDE ON 'RUNNERS (STAINLESS STEEL SHEET METAL COVERS THE MOUNTING FRAME WHERE IT RIDES . THE CLEARANCE IS SO CLOSE AND ROAD IT WILL JAM THE PADS. THIS REQUIRES DISASSEMBLY OF ALL OF THE BRAKE CALIPER AND GRINDING OF THE ROTOR FREQUENTLY. THE PADS NOT PRESSING ON THE ROTORS PROPERLY ALLOW THE ROTOR TO RUST FURTHER DEGRADING THE BRAKE PERFORMANCE AND CAUSES UNEVEN BRAKING AND GREATLY INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE -- I HAVE HAD TO OVERHAUL THE BRAKES THREE TIMES AND THE REPAIR MECHANIC SAYS ALL GM TRUCKS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM

DT: CONSUMER HEARD SOMETHING POP PING AND FELL INTO THE STREET. CONSUMER HAD NO BRAKES IN THE REAR. IN THE FRONT THE BRAKE DISC WAS BADLY PITTED BECAUSE OF THE POOR QUALITY OF ALLOY.
