2007 GMC Sierra Complaint Log

WHILE STOPPING AT SLOW SPEEDS ON DRY ROADS MY ABS BRAKES KICK IN CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO TAKE LONGER TO STOP THAN NORMAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL ALSO DROPS TOWARD THE FLOOR CAUSING ME TO THINK I HAVE LOST MY BRAKES COMPLETELY. THIS HAS JUST STARTED,AND HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES. I NEVER NOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN TO ME CAUSING ME TO BE ON EDGE EVERY TIME I HAVE TO STOP. I READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH GM TRUCKS AND WENT AND SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR YEARS. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON CERTAIN MODEL YEARS,BUT MY YEAR TRUCK WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I ASKED HIM HOW IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT GM WOULD LET THE SAME PROBLEM GO ON NEWER YEAR MODELS WHILE FIXING OTHERS? HE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW. I ASKED HIM HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST ME TO HAVE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FIX MY TRUCK. HE SAID IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT PARTS WERE NEEDED TO MAKE THE REPAIRS,AND COULD COST ME ANYWHERE FROM $150.00 TO $2,000.00. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW GM CAN GET AWAY WITH CHARGING SOME CUSTOMERS TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF UNDER RECALLS IN THE PAST. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME I COULD PULL THE FUSE ON MY ABS SYSTEM AND THE PROBLEM WOULD STOP,OF COURSE DOING THIS WOULD MEAN I WOULD NOT HAVE ABS BRAKES ANY LONGER, OR I COULD WAIT AND SEE IF MY MODEL YEAR MAKES THE RECALL LIST IN THE FUTURE. WHEN I PAY GOOD MONEY FOR A SAFETY ITEM ON MY TRUCK,I EXPECT IT TO LAST LONGER THAN 42,000 MILES,AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE AND DRIVE A TRUCK WITH UNSAFE BRAKES HOPING IT WILL BE PUT ON THE RECALL LIST IN THE FUTURE. THIS PROBLEM NOT ONLY MAKES MY TRUCK UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY,IT ALSO MAKES IT UNSAFE FOR EVERYONE NEAR IT AS I DRIVE DOWN THE STREETS,AND HIGHWAYS. PLEASE DON'T LET GM GET AWAY WITH LETTING THIS SAFETY PROBLEM GO UNFIXED JUST BECAUSE MY MODEL YEAR TRUCK IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR

5.3 VORTEC WITH AFM IS NOW BURNING OIL AT THE RATE OF 1 QT EVERY 800-1200 MILES. THE MORE HIGHWAY DRIVING THE MORE OIL IT BURNS. GM IS VERY AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND JUST REFUSES TO MAKE THE PROPER REPAIRS VOLUNTEERLY, BUT IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO PUT THE CUSTOMER THROUGH ALL KINDS OF BS. WILL START THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, TOMORROW. IF THAT FAILS THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY WILL TRY THE OIL SHIELD FIX AND IF THAT FAILS, THEY WILL REPLACE PISTONS AND RINGS. SEEMS LIKE A HUGE WASTE OF TIME WHEN THEY KNOW THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. *TT

I OWN A 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 CREW CAB. I HAVE SOME ISSUES WHEN I START MY TRUCK IN THE MORNINGS, I GET A TAPPING NOISE AS IF THERE ARE LIFTERS STUCK OR NOT GETTING SUFFICIENT OIL. I HAVE ALWAYS USED THE RECOMMENDED AC OIL FILTERS THAT I PURCHASE FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP PARTS CENTER SO I KNOW THAT THE FILTER IS NOT THE PROBLEM. I AM A MECHANIC SO I KNOW WHAT AN ENGINE IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE. THE NOISE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE ENGINE WARMS UP WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MINUTES AND IS VERY ANNOYING. I AM CURRENTLY DEPLOYED TO KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN IN SUPPORT OF OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM AND SCHEDULE TO RETURN TO THE US IN LATE MARCH 2012. I SPOKE TO MY WIFE TODAY AND SHE SAID THAT EVERY TIME SHE START THE VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE NOISE IS THERE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD ANSWER MY QUESTION CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. I LIKE THE TRUCK BUT THE ENGINE NOISE HAS TO GO. LIKE I SAID BEFORE I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC FOR OVER 30 YEARS ON CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT AND AUTOMOTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR THE US ARMY. PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO GIVE ME A SHORT ANSWER TO TRY TO GET RID OF ME, I KNOW BETTER. THE CRANKCASE IS FULL OF OIL TO THE CORRECT LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK AND I USE THE RECOMMENDED 5W30 OIL. WHY AM I HAVING THIS ISSUE? NOTE: I AM DEPLOYED SO PLEASE DON'T TRY TO CONTACT ME BY PHONE. *TR

MY 2007 GMC SIERRA HAS FAULTY ABS SENSORS WHICH ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEED STOPS AND GREATLY EXTENDS THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLE. SEARCHING THE INTERNET USENET LIST IT SEEMS THAT A GOOD PORTION OF GM FULLSIZE PICKUPS AND SUVS HAVE FAULTY ABS BRAKE SENSORS WHICH ACTIVATE DURING LOW SPEED BRAKING. 1999 - 2007 VEHICLES SEEM TO BE THE MOST AFFECTED AND INCLUDE SIERRA, YUKON, SUBURBAN, AND SILVERADO TRUCKS. GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE FOR MANY YEARS AND HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE BUT FAILED TO ISSUE RECALL, THIS LEAVES THE OWNER STUCK WITH THE PROBLEM TO DEAL WITH ON THEIR OWN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC SIERRA CLASSIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS RECALL WAS INITIATED YEARS AGO, AND I'M STILL DRIVING AROUND PUTTING MY WIFE AT RISK. INEXCUSABLE! I HAVE A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL - JUST CAN'T FIND IT.

NOISE IN REAR END, BRAKES BURNING SMELL,TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM LITE ALWAYS "ON"HAD TO HAVE RESET TIMES. SMELL BURNING PLASTIC OUT OF AIR VENTS,DISPLAY WARNING,"ENGINE HOT","A/C TURNED OFF. "RADIATOR FANS ALWAYS RUNNING. POWER STEERING HOSE LEAKING. I SENT COMPLAINT TO DEALER THE FIRST MONTH ABOUT.TRUCK HAS 55,000 MILEAGE VERABLE AND BROUGHT COMPLAINTS TO DEALER.THIS COMPLAINT HAPPENS THUS THE TIME I OWNED TRUCK. TRUCK IS NOW AT DEALERS TRYING TO BE SAFE FOR HIGHWAY USE AGAIN,I AM AFRAID THAT WITH ALL THE PLASTIC BURNING SMELL FROM AIR VENT ,TRUCK WILL GO ON FIRE! *TR

DASH HAS CRACKED ON PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY. CONCERNED THAT IT MAY AFFECT THE DEPLOYMENT OR SEND SHARDS ON DEPLOYMENT THAT COULD INJURE SOMEONE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY A FRIEND WITH THE SAME MODEL CHEVY AND IS A COMMON ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO REPLACE AS IT'S AN OBVIOUS DEFECT WITH THEIR TRUCKS.

#SB-10-06-01-008 (PROBLEM) I AM CONCERNED WITH OUR SAFETY DUE TO THE MECHANICAL MOTOR PROBLEM WITH THE CYLINDERS. GM WARRANTY # [XXX] I HAVE HAD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AND THEY ORDERED PARTS AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. WHEN BRINGING IT IN TO "PHILIPS BUICK GMC" FRUITLAND PARK FLORIDA, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET A COMPARABLE VEHICHLE IN EXCHANGE WHILE MINE IS WORKED ON. I GET THEIR AND THEY TRY TO GIVE ME A COMPACT SUV. I AM 6'2", 200LBS. AND DRIVE A 2007 4 DOOR SIERRA 1500 THAT I USE FOR MY COMMERCIAL BUSINESS EVERY DAY FOR WORK. THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS. I SHUT MY BUSINESS DOWN TO HALF OF WHAT IT WAS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD LOOSING MY TRUCK FOR A COUPLE DAYS TO WARANTY REPAIRS. I WAS TOLD I WOULD GET A FULL SIZED TRUCK OR SUV. I STILL HAVE TO HAUL PRODUCT FOR MY BUSINESS JUST TO KEEP IT 50% RUNNING FOR THOSE COUPLE DAYS. I ALSO HAVE 4, 200+LBS GUYS TO HAUL AROUND FOR WORK AS WELL, AND A SPECIAL NEEDS DAUGHTER WHO NEEDS THE ADITIONAL SPACE OF A FULL SIZED VEHICHLE. I PAID OVER $40,000 FOR MY TRUCK. ITS NOT MY FAULT THAT I HAVE A WARRANTY ISSUE AND IT HAS TO BE WORKED ON. SO MY BUSINESS, FAMILY, AND SELF SHOULDNT BE THE ONE WHO IS INCONVIENANCED FOR A GM WARRANTY ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. I SPOKE TO GM AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO RENT ONE MYSELF AND PAY MYSELF. THEY SAID THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE ME $35 DOLLARS A DAY FOR REIMBURSEMENT. WITH THIS HAPPENING GM IS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO WORK AND GET MY TRUCK FIXED AT THE SAME TIME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I CONTINUE TO BE ANNOYED BY A CONDITION I EXPERIENCE WITH THE GMC VEHICLE I PURCHASED NEW THREE YEARS AGO. THE PROBLEM IS ONE THAT THE DEALER DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY FOR. THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OVERNIGHT OR WHEN IT IS PARKED IN THE SHADOWS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS NOT LIGHTED WHEN ONE DRIVES AWAY SOMETIMES FOR PERIODS OF UP TO THIRTY TO FORTY-FIVE MINUTES. THIS BECOMES PARTICULARLY IRRITATING IN THE CASE OF THE RADIO WHICH CANNOT BE READ FROM THE DRIVER'S POSITION. ONLY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE BRIGHT SUN FOR SOMETIMES AS LITTLE AS TEN AND OFTEN AS MUCH AS FORTY-FIVE MINUTES WILL THE DASH LIGHTS KICK IN TO WHERE THEY ARE EASILY READABLE. I FIND THIS CONDITION A POTENTIAL HAZARD IN THAT PEOPLE MAY BE STRETCHING TO READ THEIR RADIO OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY VIEW THEIR INSTRUMENTAL PANEL OTHERWISE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN ERROR. WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRIC EYE OR SIMILAR DEVICE IS IN THE SHADOW OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ASSEMBLY OR THE PILLAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHAT HAPPENS THEN IS WHEN THE ELECTRIC EYE IS IN FULL SUN, IT EVENTUALLY SEEMS TO FIND WHERE IT IS AT AND THE LIGHTING IN THE DASH IS INCREASED. IT SEEMS THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION MUCH IN THE WAY OF CELL PHONES, GM OUGHT TO BE MADE TO RECALL AND/OR OFFER A REMEDY TO THE CONSUMER. I FIND THIS COMMENT BEING MADE BY FELLOW OWNERS OF GMC AND CHEVROLET PICK-UP TRUCKS. THE PROBLEM THEN IS NOT ONLY MINE. HOW WIDESPREAD IS IT? *TR

FUEL GAUGE SHOWING THAT I HAD FUEL ,BUT THE TRUCK RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE GOING DOWN THE ROAD 55MPH. I DID GET THE TRUCK PULLED OVER TO A GRAVEL ROAD AND THEN CALLED SOMEONE TO BRING MORE GAS. *TR

LATCH/LOCK ON CENTER CONSOLE/JUMP SEAT FAILURE. THE PLASTIC LATCH FOR THE LID ON THE CENTER CONSOLE, WHICH IS ALSO A JUMP SEAT WHEN UPRIGHT, HAS FAILED. THE RESULT IS THE LID CAN BECOME OPEN IF THE SEAT IS TILTED UP TO USE AS A JUMP SEAT, OR IF DOWNWARD PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE REAR OF THE LID, OR IF YOU HIT A BUMP OR IF YOU ARE IN A CRASH. THE CONTENTS OF THE COMPARTMENT CAN BE RELEASED AND POSE AN IMMINENT DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE IN THE RESULT OF A CRASH OR OTHERWISE BECOME A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER. THE PLASTIC LATCH IS NOT AVAILABLE AS A REPLACEMENT PART FROM GMC. THE ENTIRE CONSOLE MUST BE PURCHASED FOR $450 TO REPLACE LATCH AND IT HAS THE SAME DEFECTIVE LATCH. *TR

WE NEED TO INSTALL A TODDLER'S BRITAX CAR SEAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF A 2007 GMC SIERRA TRUCK. OUR TRUCK HAS NO WAY TO ALLOW US TO TURN OFF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. WE HAVE CONTACTED GMC CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND OUR LOCAL DEALER AT CROWN GMC IN ST. PETE FL AND THEY TOLD US THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN TURN IT OFF. THEN ERICA CALLED FROM GMC CORPORATE AND TOLD US IT COULD BE TURNED OFF BUT WE NEEDED TO CONTACT YOU AND FILL OUT A FORM. HER PHONE NUMBER IS 866-790-5600 EXT 11292. PLEASE HELP US FIGURE OUT A SAFE WAY TO INSTALL THE SEAT AND AUTHORIZE GMC TO SHOW US HOW TO TURN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF WHEN THE CHILD CAR SEAT IS IN AND ON FOR WHEN THE SEAT IS NOT INSTALLED AND AN ADULT PASSENGER RIDES IN FRONT. *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW HEAVY DUTY 2006 1/2 TON PICKUP TRUCK. IT PRESENTLY HAS FIFTY THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED MILES ON IT. I JUST WENT TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND WAS TOLD THE IDLER ARM ON THE STEERING ROD WAS WORN OUT. WHEN I ASKED FURTHER QUESTIONS THE TIRE GUY SAID THIS WAS REAL COMMON IN GM PRODUCTS. I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT IS OK FOR NOW BUT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO. I AM 60 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED NEW AND USED VEHICLES ALL MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. IF THIS IDLER ARM ON THE STEERING SHOULD FAIL THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO CONTROL THE TRUCK. I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PERFECTLY. GM MUST BE PUTTING SUBSTANDARD IDLER ARMS ON THEIR STEERING TIE RODS FOR HEAVY DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS. I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES WITH OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 GMC SIERRA EXTENDED CAB Z71. THE TRUCK IS APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS OLD WITH 20000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN THE NORTHEAST FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFE. THE FRAME ON THE TRUCK FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR AS WELL AS MANY OF THE COMPONENTS UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK HAVE BECOME EXTREMELY RUSTED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MANY DEALERS AND THEY SAY THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE ROAD SALT AND SNOW/ICE THAT COMES WITH THE NORTHEAST WINTER. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, BUT I AM AFRAID THAT THIS RUST WILL LEAD TO CORROSION(ROT) AND SOMETHING MAJOR COULD HAPPEN TO THE VEHICLE AND OR MYSELF. SINCE THIS TRUCK IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS THIS ISSUE, IT IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE WITH AGE. *TR

OUR CUSTOMER/INSURED WAS DRIVING HIS 2007 GMC SIERRA ON APRIL 23, 2009 WITH HIS CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT, THE AUTO STARTED ON FIRE AS HE WAS DRIVING.

THIS IS A CONSTANT AND ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY OR ROAD AT SPEEDS ABOVE 15 OR 20 MPH THE FRONT SUSPENSION WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING BRIDGE EXPANSIONS, ANY SORT OF ROAD BUMP, MAN HOLE COVERS WITH MINIMAL EDGES, ETC. THE VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE SUSPENSION WILL THEN STOP AND NOT BE FELT DURING NORMAL SMOOTH HIGHWAY OR ROAD TRAVEL BUT RECURS EACH AND EVERY TIME ROAD BUMPS ARE ENCOUNTERED. THE SHAKING IS VIOLENT AND FEELS AS THOUGH THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR NOW.

I HAVE TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT, THEY NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ON SATURDAY THE CAR STOP , IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AND THIS TIME IT DID NOT MOVE AT ALL. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE, AND I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT, BUT I WAS STUCK.

THIS VEHICLE HAS GIVING ME MANY PROBLEMS, BUT THE DEALER NEVER SEEMS TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAD SOME ITEMS INSTALLED BY THEM. ONE WAS A DVD PLAYER, IT COST 2,300. AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS MY FAULT SO THEY DID NOT FIX IT. AND THAT WAS 3 MOTHS AFTER THE INSTALLATION OF THE DVD BY THEM. AND THE BATTERY DIE ON THE TRUCK 4 MONTHS AFTER IT WAS PURCHASED. THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THEY CHANGE. I HOPE THAT I CAN BE HELPED, I FEEL VERY INSECURE IN THIS VEHICLE. I'M HAPPY THAT I DID NOT GET INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF ALL THESE PROBLEMS. THANK YOU . *TR
