I BOUGHT NEW GMC SIERRRA IN MID 2004, TRUCK EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST. TRUCK EXHIBITS VERY POOR WET TRACTION AND EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. WHEN TIRE WAS APPROXIMATELY AT 18,000 MILES HAD SERIOUS SPIN OUT ON I75 SOUTH OF TAMPA IN LITE RAINY CONDITION. SINCE THEN NOTICED TIRE SPIN ON SLIGHTEST WET ROADS, EVEN HAS TROUBLE PULLING OUT OF CAR WASHES. THIS IS DANGEROUS TIRE AND SHOULD NOT BE INSTILLED ON LARGE VEHICLES. TIRE IS DOWN TO WEAR MARKS AND ONLY HAS 28000 MILES. TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND MAINTAINED ONLY BY GM DEALERS. GOODYEAR DEALER STATES THIS TIRE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON FULL SIZE TRUCKS, IT WILL WEAR EXCESSIVELY AND MAY LEAD TO BLOWOUT. DEALERSHIP WON'T DO ANYTHING AND GOODYEAR STATES IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT INSTALLED BY MANUFACTURER. *TR

INTERNAL FAILURE OF PART IN FUEL TANK THAT CAUSED THE FUEL GAUGE TO NOT READ ACCURATELY, BUT ALLOWED THE LOW FUEL LIGHT TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. THIS PART WAS NOT A PART OF THE FUEL PUMP, BUT WORKED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PUMP AS THE PUMP WAS A WARRANTY ITEM ,AND THIS PART WAS NOT.*AK

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY, AFTER DOING A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY CHEVEROLET FULL SIZE VEHICLES. THIS WAS VERY OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN SITTING AT A STOP SIGN THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 35-40 MPH, AND WAS EITHER STUCK OR READ COMPLETLY INCORRECT.*AK

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA PICK UP WITH A CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE OF 40,000 MILES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS WORKING IMPROPERLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP THE SPEEDOMETER READ THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 120 MPH. WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT REGISTERING THE SPEED CORRECTLY. THE CONTACT WOULD KEEP UP WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC TO TRY TO GAGE THE VEHICLES SPEED. THE CONTACT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE SPEEDOMETER MOTOR. AK UPDATED 05/23/07. *JB

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY VEHICLE, THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE 7-8 ISSUES, ONE SELLING POINT WAS THE ONSATR CELLULAR SERVICE, NEVER WORKED, ETC. ETC. ETC. THE SALIENT MATTER AT THIS TIME IS THAT THE DRIVE TRAIN ORGINALLY EXHIBITED A CLINCKING SOUND SHIFTING FROM 2ND-3RD AND FROM 3RD-2ND, THE NOISE WAS SPORADIC AND WENT FROM A CLINCKING TO A DECIRNABLE CLUNK ALL THE TIME, THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED MULTIPLE REPAIRS AND NOW STATES THE MATTER IS A CONCERN BUT IT IS NOT A PROBLEM, THE OEM, GMC, HAS STATES THAT THER IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND I AM RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS, I CAN NOT SELL IT AS IS. *JB

2004 GMC SIERRA 1500 SPEEDOMETER FAILED AFTER WARRANTY WAS OVER. SPEEDOMETER STICKS AND READS ANYWHERE FROM 60 TO 120 MPH WHEN STANDING STILL. MANY COMPLAINTS IN FORUMS, BUT NO RECALL FROM GMC. UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT KNOWING TRUE SPEED. GMC WANTS BIG BUCKS TO FIX, SHOULD BE RECALLED.*AK

THE SPEEDOMETER ON THE 2004 GMC SIERRA IS IRRATIC. IT WILL READ A SPEED BUT IT WILL NOT BE MOVING. YOU CANNOT TELL HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING, WHICH MAKES IT UNSAFE. *AK

THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE SPEEDS SHOWN ON THE SPEEDOMETER HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. *JB
