EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAKING OFF LEAVING STUDS IN THE HEADS GM IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THIS ISSUE. THIS IS CAUSING CO RELEASE, HIGH HEAT IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, NOISE, AND AN EXPENSE THAT I SHOULD NOT PAY FOR. SOME STATES ARE NOT ACCEPTING THESE VEHICLES NOW FOR NOT MEETING THE EMISSION STANDARDS PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

WHILE IN MOTION, A COMPONENT IN THE DIFFERENTIAL FAILED, CREATING AN INTERFERENCE CONDITION LOCKING UP MY REAR END. LUCKILY I WAS NOT TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND WAS JUST AROUND TOWN, TRAVELING AT ABOUT 30 MPH. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF PARTS FAILING. THERE WAS AMPLE GEAR OIL IN THE REAR END, AND MAINTENANCE WAS NOT A FACTOR AS I DID A GEAR OIL CHANGE THIS PAST SUMMER. I SELDOM USE THIS VEHICLE TO TOW AND IT HAS NEVER SEEN A PLOW OR OVERLY ROUGH DRIVING CONDITIONS. *KB

FUEL GAUGE GOES EMPTYTO FULL CONSTANTLY. DEALER SAYS IT WILL COST 8 TO 900.00 DOLLARS TO FIX. IF I AM MISKAKEN THIS PART OF FUEL PUMP ASSY. *TR

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2011 AND SINCE HAVE NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RUST ON ALL THE BRAKE LINES GOING AND COMING FROM THE ABS MODULE UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRAME RAIL. I HAVE READ MANY CASES OF OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THEIR LINES BURST IN AS LITTLE AS 2 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OPERATION OF MY TRUCK WITH THE BRAKE LINES CORRODED TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY ARE AND HOPE THAT GENERAL MOTORS WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS SAFETY HAZARD. THERE IS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE ENTIRE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE (FRAME RAILS, BOLT LOCATIONS, WELD LOCATIONS, UNDERSIDE OF BUMPERS, ECT). *TR

RUSTING FUEL LINE CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT FUEL LEAK IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE NEAR THE FUEL TANK, WHILE REPAIRING THAT LINE I OBSERVED SEVERAL OTHER RUSTING LINES IN THAT AREA BRAKE, AND MORE FUEL LINES. *TR

MY BRAKE LINES ARE CORRODED AND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I FEAR THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY GM. *TR

WHILE PULLING INTO MY PARKING AREA AND BRAKING, THE BREAK PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. A HISSING SOUND WAS HEARD WHILE THE PEDAL WAS BEING PUSHED. UPON INSPECTION A BREAK IN THE BRAKELINE UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE CAB WAS IDENTIFIED AT THE HANGER. BASED UPON VISUAL INSPECTION THEIR APPEARS TO BE CORROSION AROUND THE BREAK IN THE LINE. *TR

BRAKES FAILED DUE TO LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID CAUSED BY RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINE FROM ABS UNIT. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS MALFUNCTION ALLOWING EXHAUST GASES TO ENTER CAB OF VEHICLE. THIS ALSO CAN CAUSE WRONG READINGS TO THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM ( OXYGEN SENSOR ) TO RICHEN THE GAS MIXER TO ENGINE CAUSING EMISSION PROBLEMS. REASON FOR COMPLIANT, AFTER CHECKING INTERNET SITES. I FOUND OUT THIS IS A TO COMMON OF A PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET ( GM ) V8 ENGINES. THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO, KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM EVERY WELL. THEY GET SEVERAL OF THIS TYPE OF REPAIRS MONTHLY. THEY REMOVE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, RE-SURFACE, REMOVE BROKEN BOLTS AND REASSEMBLE USING ALL NEW BOLTS AND GASKET. $350. FYI. *TR
