GMC K3500

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

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…

BLEW A BRAKE LINE WHILE BACKING A BOAT INTO THE WATER..... THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS IN THE WATER AND THAT THE TRUCK STOPPED BEFORE COMPLETELY SUBMERGING. THE BRAKE LINES ALL LOOK TERRIBLE.... I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT I DO MOST OF MY OWN MECHANICAL WORK ON MY TRUCKS ALL MY LIFE.... ONCE I PAID ATTENTION TO THEM, ALL OF MY BRAKE LINES ARE IN HORRIBLE SHAPE!! BAD NEWS HERE.... PEOPLE ARE GONNA DIE FROM THIS. *TR

LOSS OF BRAKES DUE TO CORRODED BRAKE LINES. HAPPENED TWICE. SECTIONS OF BRAKE LINE REPLACED. (ALTHOUGH I INDICATED 15 MPH AT TIME OF INCIDENT, THE BRAKES WERE ALREADY NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WHEN, ON THE WAY TO THE SERVICE STATION, I BUMPED A CAR WHICH CUT IN FRONT OF ME.) REPORTED ISSUE TO YOU SINCE I SAW ARTICLE IN 4/11/10 HARTFORD COURANT. HAVE NOT REPLACED ENTIRE BRAKE LINE DUE TO DIFFICULTY IN ACCESSING IT AND RELATED EXPENSE. *TR

I HAVE A 1998 GMC K3500 PICK-UP TRUCK WITH A 6.5 TURBO DIESEL HO ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE ENGINE CONTINUOUSLY CUTS OFF AS IF IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL EVEN THOUGH THE TANK IS FULL OF FUEL. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER TO HAVE PROBLEM CORRECTED. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT FUEL IN TANK WAS BIO-DIESEL AND MY TRUCK WOULD NOT BURN BIO-DIESEL. THEY INFORMED ME MY TANK NEEDED TO BE REMOVED AND CLEANED ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE FUEL SYSTEM. THEY REMOVED TANK/CLEANED SYSTEM - COST $691.78, AND…
