2004 GMC Sierra 2500

STEERING LINKAGE PROBLEMS: I'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE I'VE OWNED MY TRUCK. MY FATHER, WHO ALSO HAS A 2500HD, HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS WELL. THEY LUBED AND GREASED THE SHAFT AT ONE POINT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AND IS PERSISTENT IN BOTH OF OUR TRUCKS. BOTH OF OUR TRUCKS ARE '04 MODELS AND I HAVE LESS THAN 40K MILES ON MINE. IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL WILL COME UNATTACHED FROM THE LINKAGE. NOT A VERY SAFE PROBLEM TO HAVE. I HOPE SOMEONE WILL TAKE THESE COMPLAINTS SERIOUSLY. *JB

I OWN A 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500 CREW CAB PICKUP WITH 59,000 MILES. IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN GIVING INCORRECT READINGS, I.E. 70 MPH WHEN STOPPED, 115 WHEN DOING 40 MPH ETC. ON OCCASION, IT EITHER DOESN'T WORK AT ALL, OR THE NEEDLE IS FULLY PEGGED. THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL HOW FAST THIS VEHICLE IS GOING. GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS STATED THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE $320 REPAIR BECAUSE "THEY CANNOT MAKE A BUSINESS CASE FOR IT." GMC REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A PERVASIVE PROBLEM THROUGHOUT MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES IN THIS MODEL YEAR DESPITE AMPLE DOCUMENTATION OF THE PROBLEM EASILY FOUND AT AUTO REPAIR WEBSITES ON THE INTERNET. ADDITIONALLY, PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT NATURE AND EXACT VEHICLE HAVE BEEN FILED WITH NHTSA. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A HILL WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE, AND MANAGED TO AVOID A CRASH BY APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER, WHO DETERMINED A LARGE AMOUNT OF GREASE WAS PRESENT ON THE PARKING BRAKE SHOE FROM A LEAKING RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL. THE RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL WAS REPLACED, BUT AFTERWARDS THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, AND DETERMINED THE LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED. *AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE OVER THE TIRE. THERE WAS NO PRE-BRAKING BEFORE THE IMPACT. THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. ALTHOUGH ALL OCCUPANTS WERE WEARING THEIR SEATBELTS, THERE WERE TWO OCCUPANTS INJURIED. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO SENSOR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRUCK. PICTURES WERE TAKEN AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

A/C DOES NOT COOL PROPERLY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. FIRST TIME VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THERE IS A TSB OUT ON THIS PROBLEM AND DEALER INSISTED THAT A/C WAS COOLING PROPERLY. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, IT STILL HAS THE SAME A/C PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE NOW NEEDS A $175 A/C SERVICE, TSB STILL NOT PERFORMED. MY VEHICLE MET ALL THE CRITERIA TO HAVE THIS PERFORMED BEFORE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT, AND STILL DOES. *JB
