GMC K3500

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 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…

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A GRACO CHILD RESTRAINT SEAT, MODEL: COMFORT SPORT. THE CHILD SEAT WAS SECURED IN A 2005 GMC PICKUP (N/A). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT BECAME LODGED INTO THE LOCKING MECHANISM AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE CHILD FROM THE CHILD SEAT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TWO BRAKE LINES BURSTED WHEN PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT: TRAVELING DOWN A HIGHWAY IN BUSY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, WHILE SLOWING TO PULL INTO A STORE THE MAIN BRAKE LINE TO THE REAR BRAKE ABRUPTLY FAILED CAUSING NEARLY COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING. I BARELY AVOIDED CRASHING INTO THE SIGN AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE STORE. WHILE LOOKING AT THE LINE AFTER REMOVE, THE WHOLE AREA WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND MULTIPLE AREAS COULD HAVE FAILED. NEXT INDECENT, RECENTLY HAVE HAD SLOW, BUT INCREASING LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID IN FRONT CHAMBER. WHILE LOOKING…
