THE SERVICE DEALER STATES THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS HAVE NO INFLUENCE ON THE BRAKING CAPABILITY OF THE VEHICLE.

ON 7/10/05, WHILE PULLING MY CAMPER, WHICH IS A 04 GMC 2500HD, BOUGHT NEW TO PULL THIS CAMPER, I EXPERIENCED A FLAT R/R TIRE WITH-IN 40 MILES ON THE TRUCK. ON 7/11/04 I EXPERIENCED 2 FLAT TIRES ON THIS TRUCK DUE TO DEFECTIVE VALVE STEMS. AFTER CHECKING WITH OTHER CHEVROLET/GMC OWNERS AT CAMPGROUNDS, THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE RUBBER VALVE STEMS. I ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE STEEL VALVE STEMS INSTALLED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO TIRE FAILURE AND REPLACING TWO TIRES THAT ONLY HAD 13,500 MILES ON THEM. THE SERVICE REPAIRMAN EXPLAINED THAT DUE TO HEAT BUILDUP ON THE TIRES, THE RUBBER VALVE STEMS WILL NOT ACCEPT THE HEAT, AND FAIL. I HAD THREE FAILURES IN TWO DAYS DUE TO THIS, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND INJURY

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA DORMAX DIESEL (NA). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS PRODUCE WHITE SMOKE. OCASSIONALLY, THE VEHICLE BECOMES DIFFICULT TO START. THE CONTACT SERVICED THE INJECTORS EVERY 10,000 MILES, BUT THE FAILURE IS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY KEPT REPLACING THE INJECTORS, BUT TO NO AVAIL.

2004 GMC 1500 DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE EQUIPMENT.*MR THE CONSUMER WENT TO FOUR DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO ALL ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. *JB

I NOTICE THE PARKING BRAKE LOSING IS CAPACITY TO BRAKE PROPERLY. I WAS MINOR AT FIRST THE ONE DAY IT JUST QUITE WORKING PROPERLY. I WASN'T AWARE OF A RECALL ON IT AT THE TIME. I TOOK IT INTO A DICK KEFFER IN CHARLOTTE. THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PARKING BREAK. I'VE ALSO TALKED TO GMC ABOUT THIS. GMC SAYS THERE IS A RECALL ON MY TRUCK BUT WOULDN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THE DEALER SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. I DO KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. MY TRUCK IS A 2004 GMC SIERRA CREW CAB LONG BOX.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MALFUNCTION. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THE ONLY GAUGES WORKING PROPERLY ARE THE TACHOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE. IT BEGAN WITH INTERMITTENT SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION. TOOK IT IN AS WARRANTY WORK BUT THE SERVICE DEPT. COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THE ISSUE RESURFACED. I ASKED ABOUT ANY RECALLS OR COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE CLUSTER GAUGES MALFUNCTIONING AT EVERY VISIT FOR SERVICE. NO RECALLS OR COMPLAINTS RECEIVED ACCORDING TO THEM. DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE SUBJECT. FOUND A FEW SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IN BLOGS BUT NO ACTION FROM GM. THE PROBLEM BEGAN TO CASCADE AND SOON ALL GAUGES EXCEPT FOR THE TACH AND FUEL BEGAN TO FAIL. NOT FIX AS OF YET. GM HAS A NOTICE OUT ON IT BUT REFUSES TO REPAIR MY TRUCK DUE TO HAVING TOO MANY MILES. THEY EVEN FOUND DOCUMENTATION AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. FOR THE ORIGINAL SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION BUT THEY STATE IT WASN'T A STRONG ENOUGH COMPLAINT. *TR

THE INJECTORS ON MY 2004 GMC SIERRA WENT OUT AT 26,000 MILES. THE INCIDENT CAUSED ME TO LOSE MY TRUCK FOR 4 DAYS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED ALL 8 INJECTORS.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WRONG LUBRICATING GREASE WAS APPLIED TO THE STEERING COLUMN. THEY REPLACED THE GREASE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO YEARS LATER. AS OF OCTOBER 17, 2007, THE DEALER HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

DT: WHILE DRIVING AND APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, CONSUMER HIT THE BRAKES AND THE ABS ACTIVATED AS IF THERE WERE NO BRAKES. CONSUMER HAD TO LET OFF AGAIN AND PUSH BRAKES AGAIN TO STOP. BY THAT TIME VEHICLE HAD ROLLED OUT IN THE ROAD PAST THE STOP SIGN. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAD HAPPENED. NO REPAIR WORK PERFORMED. PROBABLY WAS UNDER 10 MPH WHEN ABS ACTIVATED. *TT

SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS ERRONEOUS READINGS, NEVER CORRECT. *NM

DT: PURCHASED VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2003, AND ON 12-22-03 HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT. THIS OCCURRED AT A LOW SPEED AT WHICH CONSUMER TAPPED ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND. TOOK VEHICLE TO A DEALER. HE CHECKED THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSTICIANS VIA COMPUTER, BUT THE CODES CHECKED OUT AS WELL AS A TEST DRIVE AND INSPECTION FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THIS CHECKED OUT AS ADEQUATE, NO PROBLEMS FOUND. ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER, EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR ACCIDENT. CONSUMER CALLED GM TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. AGAIN TAKEN TO DEALER, AND NO PROBLEM FOUND. 5-7-05 EXPERIENCED ANOTHER ACCIDENT THAT RESULTED IN 3 INJURIES. THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED AS CONSUMER WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION FROM ABOUT A DISTANCE OF 60 FEET AND TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN APPLIED BRAKE FAILURE AND SUFFERED A COMPLETE FAILURE WITH NO BRAKES AT ALL. "BRAKES WOULD NOT EVEN GRAB." GLIDED THROUGH INTERSECTION STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT RESULTED IN 3 INJURIES. TOOK TO DEALER WHO CHECKED VEHICLE AND AGAIN FOUND NOTHING WRONG YET CONSUMER FEELS AS THOUGH BRAKES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. *AK

POWER STEERING FADED AT HIGH SPEED. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE STEERING ROTATION SENSOR. CONSUMER HAD TO PUT PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN THE POWER STEERING KICKED BACK IN VEHICLE VEERED OFF THE HIGHWAY FROM TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL.*AK A NORMAL STEERING ROTATION SENOR WILL FADE OUT POWER STEERING AT HIGH SPEEDS SO YOU HAVE BETTER FEEL OF THE ROAD. AS SPEED DECREASES THE STEERING SHOULD ONCE AGAIN BECOME EASY WHEN SPEED DECREASES. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, THE STEERING WOULD BE HARD AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHILE YOU ARE APPLYING A LOT OF PRESSURE TO MAKE A TURN THE POWER STEERING WOULD SUDDENLY COME BACK ON CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO PULL THE TRUCK OFF THE ROAD OR OVER THE YELLOW LINE. CONSUMER TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK. *BF
