2000 GMC SIERRA Complaints

WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDALS ON A SUDDEN STOP ON BUMPY ROADS AT SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT DEPRESS. THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP PROPERLY. IT TAKES THE TRUCK A LONGER TIME TO STOP THAN NORMAL. THIS ALMOST CASUED ME TO REAR END CARS ON MORE THAN ONE OCASSION. I HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REAPPLY PRESSURE TO GET FIRM BRAKE PRESSURE. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES, IT GIVES A FALSE SENSE OF ABS WORKING BUT THE TRUCK STOPS SLOWER THAN IF IT WERE THE ABS. SUDDEN STOPS ON BUMPY ROADS ARE VERY DANGEROUS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MP CONSUMER HIT FRONT SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE, AND BROAD SIDED INTO A DITCH. UPON IMPACT, AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK

WHILE COMING DOWN A HILL PUT FOOT ON BRAKES, AND IT FELT LIKE PUSHING ON A BRICK WALL. CONSUMER PROCEEDED THROUGH A STOP SIGN. CONSUMER HAS TO PRESS BRAKE DOWN TWICK BEFORE VEHICLE WILL STOP.*AK THE BRAKES FAILED TWICE. THE STEERING COLUMN MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING. HORN FAILED. KEYLESS ENTERY FAILED. DOOR LOCKS FAILED. INTERIOR LIGHTS FAILED. THE FAN IN THE FRONT END IS VERY LOUD. THE SPEEDOMETER IS INACCURATE. THE POWER STEERING PUMP SHAFT BROKE. *YH

VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED UNDER RECALL 10178. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED LOCAL DEALERSHIP, BUT DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PERFORM RECALL REPAIRS. DEALERSHIP IS BUZZ POST GMC IN ARLINGTON, TEXAS. *AK

BRAKE PEDAL INTERMITTANTLY FEELS AS THOUGH THERE IS AIR IN THE LINE AND NEEDS TO BE PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF AMBIANT TEMPERATURE OR ENGINE TEMP. THE LOCAL DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AT 1515 MILES PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME LOSS OF BRAKE PEDAL FEEL. I AM A LITTLE MORE THAN CONCERNED THAT THE BRAKES WILL FAIL IN AN EMERGENCY STOP. *AK

WHEN STARTING VEHICLE WHILE IN PARK, IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN. CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

ONGOING PROBLEM WITH BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR BEFORE STOPPING. VEHICLE BEEN IN / OUT OF DEALER'S SHOP ON THREE OCCASIONS, AND PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING. ALSO, DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF BRAKING SYSTEM ON THOSE VEHICLES. *AK

BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SEATBELTS PERIODICALLY LOCK FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS PINS DRIVER AGAINST SEATBACK, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LEAN FORWARD TO CHECK MIRRORS, LOOK OVER SHOULDER ETC. FOR LANE CHANGE. DEALER REFUSES TO ADDRESS PROBLEM.
