1995 GMC SIERRA Complaints

WHEN I FIRST TOOK TRUCK TO GMC SERVICE DEPT. I WAS TOLD A BOLT FELL OUT OF STEERING (SOMEWHERE IN SHAFT). THE SERVICE STAFF ATTEMPTED TO PLACE A TEMPORARY BOLT IN UNTIL THE ORDERED BOLT CAME IN. THIS FAILED; THE TEMP BOLT WOULDN'T GO IN. I WAS TOLD TO BE VERY CAREFUL DRIVING UNTIL FIXED. THE NEXT DAY THE BOLT CAME IN; THEY ATTEMPTED TO PUT IT IN. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULDN'T GO IN; IT WAS STIPPED. A NEW "SHAFT LINK" HAD TO BE ORDERED. AGAIN, I WAS TOLD TO BE VERY CAREFUL IN DRIVING. NEXT DAY I WAS CALLED IN. THEY REPLACED PART. THIS COST ME $335.87 WHICH I FELT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY. WHEN I QUESTIONED IT I WAS TOLD IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND IS MY COST. I WROTE THEM A CHECK FOR THE TOTAL ! *AK

TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES FAILED CAUSING TRANSMISSION OIL TO SPRAY ON THE HOT EXHAUST PIPE THAT RUNS DIRECTLY UNDER IT. GMC CLAIMS THIS IS NOT A DEFECT, BUT IT SEEMS THAT A FIRE COULD EASILY RESULT AS WELL AS EXTENSIVE TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. TRANSMISSION IS 4L80E MODEL. *AK

AT VARIOUS TIMES WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE OPERATING, THEY QUIT WORKING, AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME THEY RESTART WORKING. THEN THEY QUIT AGAIN. IS THERE SOMETHING ON THIS PROBLEM. DEALER SAYS ITS A WIPER MODULE PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE REPLACED LOTS OF THEM. *AK

ABS BRAKE SYSTEM FAILS IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO FLOOR AND TRUCK FEELS LIKE IT WONT STOP . HAVE ALMOST HAD ACCIDENTS A FEW TIMES WHEN THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF TIME TO STOP. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERE IS A GROWLING NOIS FROM UNDER THE CAR. FRONT BRAKES WEAR OUT REAR BRAKES HARDLY WORN AFTER 85000 MILES AS THOUGH THEY ARE NOT BEING USED. WIPER MOTER STOPES INTERMITTANTLY IN RAIN . HIGH SPEED DOES NOT WORK. WHEN NOT WORKING CANNOT DRIVE CAR IN RAIN . HAVE HAD STOP WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS DANGEROUS. FOUND THAT YOU HAVE LISTED A RECALL . HOWEVER THE GMC WEB SITE DID NOT OFFER THIS INFORMATION. AS SECOND OWNER OF RECORD I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED . MY DAUGHTER WAS FIRST OWNER AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE SHE WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS.

WHEN USING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN A RAIN STORM THEY INTERMITTENTLY WILL STOP WORKING. VEHICLE HAS TO BE RESTARTED TO GET THEM WORKING AGAIN. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK
