GMC K1500

AFTER DRIVING AT A CONSTANT MODERATE SPEED IN A STRAIGHT LINE, STEERING JERKS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A SLIGHT STEERING ADJUSTMENT. *TR

BRAKES FAILED. I PARKED WITH PARKING BRAKE, LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND NOTICED FLUID LEAK ON PAVEMENT. FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWED THAT RUSTY BRAKE LINE DEVELOPED A PINHOLE. OTHER BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTY. WILL LIKELY FAIL LATER. FUEL LINE IS ALSO VERY RUSTY. WILL LIKELY FAIL LATER. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS 1999 GMC SIERRA 1500 3 DOOR TRUCK ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO THE BODY HAS NO SIGN OF RUST.BUT UNDERNEATH IS LIFE THREATENING I WAS DRIVING NORMAL SPEED MAYBE 55MPH AND I HEARD A POP AND MY FRAME BROKE IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES BECAUSE OF RUST. NOW I WELDED IT UP JUST TO GET ME BACK N FORTH TO WORK. WITCH IS STILL LIFE THREATENING BUT I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE. I CAN NOT AFFORD A NEW TRUCK ESPECIALLY WHEN I STILL GOT 3000 TO PAY ON THIS ONE. THE FRAME LITERALLY BROKE IN HALF, UNDER THE CAB ON…

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW IN 1999 AND HAVE WATCHED IT RUST AWAY. WHY THEY DIDN'T USE BETTER METAL OR EVEN STAINLESS STEEL. MY BRAKE LINES HAVE RUSTED SO BAD THAT ONE OR MORE IS LEAKING ALONG FRAME RAIL UNDERNEATH DRIVERS SEAT. MANY OTHER OWNERS IN THIS REGION SEEM TO HAVE SAME PROBLEMS. I'M GLAD IT WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN IT BECAME DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ALSO THE ABS MODULE STOPPED WORKING AND HAD TO PULL THE 60 AMP FUSE TO DISCONNECT AT 60,000 AND TRUCK NOW HAS 121,000 MILES. GMC SIERRA 1500 4WD…

MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK ON THE ABOVE DATE, WHEN ONE OF THE REAR BRAKE LINES FAILED, CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND NEARLY RESULTING IN A REAR-END COLLISION WITH A VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF HER. ALSO, ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, I HAD ANOTHER BRAKE LINE FAIL WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I REPLACED IT, THINKING IT WAS NORMAL, HOWEVER I HAVE NOW DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER GM OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ADDITIONALLY, EARLIER THIS YEAR, I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH IS…

DRIVING WENT TO STOP, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. FOUND OUT THE REAR BRAKE LINE RUSTED THRU. *TR

FUEL GAUGE BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH FROM EMPTY TO FULL WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS AND SOMETIMES STAYS ON EMPTY, WHEN IN FACT THE GAS TANK IS FULL! *TR

BRAKE LINE CORRODED. VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. USED EMERGENCY BRAKE. WAS LUCKY ANOTHER BAKE LINE JUST WENT. (10/25/2012) AND THEY ARE REPLACING 2 MORE THIS TIME. OTHERS HAVE SUGGESTED REPLACING ALL. TOTAL OF 3 BRAKE LINES GONE BAD IN THIS GMC. *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP IN MY DRIVEWAY, I LOST BRAKING POWER... PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AFTER A FEW PUMPS. BRAKE FLUID OUT ON THE GROUND. INSPECTION REVEALED REAR BRAKE LINE FAILURE BECAUSE OF CORROSION. THE TRUCK HAD 56,337 MILES AT THE TIME. IN SEPTEMBER 2011, THE FRONT LINES FAILED BECAUSE OF CORROSION WHILE OUT DRIVING ON THE ROADS. THE CORROSION WAS SEVERE OVERALL AND I HAD THE ENTIRE FRONT BRAKE LINE SYSTEM REPLACED FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER DOWN RATHER THAN THE PARTIAL BRANCH THAT…

UPON STARTING TO LEAVE WORK PARKING LOT LOST PEDAL. HAD FELLOW COWORKER OBSERVE AND BRAKE FLUID WAS STEADY STREAM LEAKING ON TO GROUND. SECOND OCCURRENCE DECEMBER 2011. FAILED INSPECTION FOR CORRODED FRONT BRAKE LINES. *TR
