2002 GMC SIERRA Complaints

REAR AXLE UNSTABLE WHEN CORNERING OVER MODERATE BUMPS. LOSES LATERAL TRACTION. DEALER FAILED TO MAKE A GENUINE EFFORT TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I REPLACED REAR SHOCKS AT MY OWN EXPENSE, PROBLEM WAS REDUCED BUT NOT ELIMINATED.

WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 55MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. DUE TO A MOOSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CONSUMER WAS TRYING TO AVOID THE MOOSE AND HIT AND ENBANKMENT. THE DUAL AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.

AFTER A TOTAL OF 19 VISITS TO THE GMC SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH NO RESULTS MIRROR STILL VIBRATES ARBITRATION THROUGH THE BBB WAS ATTEMPTED ON 10-4-02. RESULTS IN FAVOR OF GMC ARBITRATOR AGREED MIRROR IS MFG DEFECT, BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE IN GETTING IT REPAIRED. OTHER 2002 LIKE VEHICLES WERE TESTED AND FOUND TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS DEFECT IS MAKE/MODEL WIDE! ALL I WANT IS THE MIRROR VIBRATION TO STOP. I REALLY DON'T EVEN USE THE MIRROR ANYMORE CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. DT

ON COLD STARTS THE ENGINE PRODUCES LOUD RAPPING SOUND AS IF RUNNING ON NO OIL. GMC HAS BEEN NOTIFIED, BUT IT IS DEEMED A NORMAL OPERATING SOUND, AND WILL NOT SHORTEN THE ENGINE LIFE. THEY NEVER MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO FIX PROBLEM, JUST OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON CERTAIN PARTS. IT REALLY MAKES ME WONDER HOW THEY KNOW WHAT PARTS TO COVER ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IF THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE? DT

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING AND TRYING TO DOWN SHIFT THE VEHICLE AND NO WARNING THE RPM IS STILL RACING. DEALER NOTIFIED. MR

THE VEHICLE TIRE PRESSURE WAS 38-40 PSI IN ALL FOUR TIRES. THE PROPER PSI SHOULD BE 60-PSI FRONT 80-PSI REAR. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS INCORRECT IN ALL FOUR TIRES. *YH
