2000 GMC SIERRA Complaints

PROBLEMS WITH POWER STEERING PUMP ON GMC TRUCK.***NO ANSWER REQUIRED***. *MR THE CONSUMER STATED HIS POWER STEERING SHAFT BROKE. *JB

VEHICLE HAD BRAKE ANTILOCK PROBLEMS WHEN FIRST PURCHASED. LOUD SOUND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP AND PEDAL BECOMES STIFF RESULTING IN SLOW/NO STOPPING. DEALER REPLACED WHEEL SENSOR. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN. SAME NOISE SAME RESULTS. DEALER STATES SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS WOULD SEEM TO BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN A FEW MONTHS (LESS THAN A YEAR!) IT HAS THE STRONG POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS HARM/ACCIDENTS AS THIS HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING.*AK

THE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS RUSTED PREMATURELY. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE ROTORS THREE TIMES, BUT THE CONSUMER IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. *JB ALL THESE REPLACEMENT ROTORS HAD VERY LOW MILEAGE ON THEM AND WOULD NOT PASS PENNSYLVANIA STATE INSPECTIONS. THEY WERE A.C. DELCO GM REPLACEMENT ROTORS. CONSUMER FEEL THAT GM ROTORS ARE POOR QUALITY AND UNSAFE. *BF *NM

WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH UP ON INCLINE THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. DRIVER SLOWED DOWN AND JUMPED OUT THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS. *AK

DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT WORK IN A COLLISION, DRIVER INJURED, TRUCK TOTALLED. SOME TRUCKS WITH THIS MAKE YEAR AND MODEL DID HAVE A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE AND DID NOT RECIEVE A RECALL NOTICE. *AK

TOOK THE TRUCK INTO A LOCAL GOODYEAR STORE TO HAVE A WHINING NOISE DIAGNOSED. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT HEAR THE NOISE AND TURNED THE WHEEL IN ONE DIRECTION. WHEN HE TRIED TO TURN IT BACK, IT WOULD NOT TURN. HE PROCEEDED TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND ADVISED US THAT THE SHAFT ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAD JUST SNAPPED OR BROKEN. THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED, AND WE RETAINED THE OLD POWER STEERING PUMP. I HAD HEARD ABOUT A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE AND CALLED A GM DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE INTO THE RECALL. I WAS ADVISED THAT GM HAD ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OF OUR TRUCK FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM WE HAD EXPERIENCED, BUT THAT OUR PARTICULAR TRUCK (WHEN IT WAS LOOKED UP BY VIN NUMBER) WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL TRUCKS.*AK

THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FLUCTUATE WHILE DRIVING, THIS CAUSES A PROBLEM FOR CONSUMER NOT KNOWING THE PROPER AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK. CONSUMER IS AFRAID OF RUNNING OUT OF FUEL WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED.*AK UPDATED 06/16/06. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED. OWNER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. *AK THE AUTO LIGHTING SYSTEM GOES OUT. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT HE TRIED TO TURN ON THE MANUAL SWITCH DOES NOT WORK. *TC

RIGHT FRONT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT HAS BURNED OUT THREE TIMES IN 2 YEARS. LEFT FRONT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT HAS NEVER BURNED OUT IN 2 YEARS. DAYTIME SAFETY JEOPARDIZED. NEW BULB INSTALLED EACH TIME. MOST RECENT BURNED OUT BULB IS AVAILABLE.*AK

VEHICLE SPORADICALLY STARTS. DEALER ADVISED NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP, FILTER. INDEPENDANT SHOP STATED THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM. INDEPENDANT FLUSHED INJECTORS AND REPLACED HOSE THAT WAS MELTING FROM GAS AS PER BULLETIN. TRUCK RAN GREAT FOR A WEEK AND THEN PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN. TRUCK CURRENTLY WON'T START AGAIN. *AK
