2006 GMC Sierra 1500

10 DAYS AFTER I GOT THIS TRUCK THE AC BLOWER STOPPED WORKING. I HAD TO PAY $60 TO GET IT FIXED. CONDENSATION FROM THE AC HAD FRIED THE WIRES. BUT I HAD TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED!!! NOT RIGHT!!!! NOW THE BLOWER AND AC WORKS BUT I HAVE NO HEAT! SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY WANTED ME TO PAY THEM $60 ~ $100 JUST TO TELL WHAT IS WRONG THEN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE OF $60!!!! WHAT THE [XXX]!!!!

REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY (BOTH) CONNECTION TABS WHICH HOLD ASSEMBLY IN PLACE FAIL FOR NO REASON ALLOWING LIGHT ASSEMBLE TO FALL OUT. HAVE REPLACED THE REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES THREE TIMES. FIRST LIGHT ASSEMBLY FELL OUT AT 8 MONTHS AGE (APPROX 20,000 MILES), RETURNED TO DEALER THEY ADVISED ASSEMBLY MUST HAVE BEEN DAMAGED NO WARRANTY REPAIR. REPLACED BOTH WITH AFTER-MARKET ASSEMBLIES, 18 MONTHS LATER REAR LIGHT ASSEMBLY CONNECTION TABS FAILED. REPLACED WITH DEALER SUPPLIED PARTS (APPROX 75,000 MILES). NOW ABOUT 18 MONTHS LATER REAR LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS FAILING AGAIN (109,000 MILES). POSSIBLE CAUSE IS THAT PLASTIC TABS DO NOT SECURE LIGHT ASSEMBLE IN PLACE, ALLOWING NORMAL USE AND VIBRATION TO CAUSE CONNECTION TAB TO FAIL. *TR

I OWN A 2006 GMC SIERRA. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A RELATIVE (70 YEAR OLD WOMAN) AND IT HAS 22,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE JUST HAD A MECHANICAL ISSUE BEGIN. WHEN SLOWING THE VEHICLE TO APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABS ACTIVATES AND THE TRUCK THRUSTS FORWARD. I WAS ADVISED BY A MECHANIC THAT THIS IS A FAILURE OF BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLIES. BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE HAS SO FEW MILES ON IT I BEGAN LOOKING ON LINE FOR RECALL INFORMATION. I AM SHOCK HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS AROUND 20,000 MILES, SOME RESULTING IN CRASHES. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THE COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURES THE HUB ASSEMBLIES HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE PARTS UNLESS IT WAS INSTALLED BY THE FACTORY (GM). THIS ISN'T RIGHT AND SOMEONE WILL GET INJURED BADLY. GM SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLE. *TR
