2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

OUR ENGINE STOPPED WORKING. HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP THEN ONTO A DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE MOTOR.

I WENT TO A LOCAL RECYCLE BUSINESS TO DROP OFF SOME CANS. UPON ENTERING THE BUILDING AT ABOUT 10 MPH, THIS GUY MOTION ME TO STOP AND WALKED IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. I HIT THE BRAKES AND THE PEDDLE ALMOST WENT TO THE FLOOR, BUT DID STOP. JUST MISSING THE GUY THAT WALKED IN FRONT OF ME. REALIZING THAT A BRAKE LINE BROKE AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP WASN'T FAR AWAY, I DROVE REALLY SLOW TO GET THERE. I LEFT IT OVER THE WEEKEND. MONDAY THEY FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINE THAT RUNS FROM FRONT TO REAR RUSTED AND BURST. $ 463. LATER I TOOK THE TRUCK HOME. AFTER CRAWLING UNDER THE TRUCK WHEN I GOT HOME, I NOTICED MORE BRAKE AND FUEL LINES WITH ALLOT OF RUST. I APPLIED SOME PAINT THAT'S SUPPOSED TO SLOW DOWN CORROSION. I'M GLAD I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY GRAND KIDS IN THE TRUCK. OR WORSE, THE FUEL LINES COULD BREAK. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE BRAKE AND FUEL LINES. HOW MUCH WOULD IT HAVE COST FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO HAVE INSTALLED STAINLESS STEEL LINES WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BUILT? I'M SURE IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN MUCH. I HOPE NOBODY HAS TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION. *TR

WILL HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY, AS DESCRIBED BY OTHER GMC OWNERS. SEE SIMILAR ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS AT THIS ADDRESS: HTTP://WWW.GM-TRUCKS.COM/FORUMS/TOPIC/129454-MY-FIX-ON-MY-SILVERADO-ELECTRICAL-PROBLEM/?HL=STALLING SEE ALSO: NHTSA REFERENCE #10036550 TSB REFERENCE #PIT-4730A VEHICLE IS UNMODIFIED. THE ISSUE IS WITH THE BATTERY CABLES AND ATTACHMENT TO THE FRAME AND FUSE PANELS. AFFECTS A WIDE VARIETY OF GM AND CHEVY MODELS, AND SHOULD DEFINITELY HAVE A RECALL, AS THIS CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHAT HAPPENS IS : 1. TRUCK WILL BE RUNNING FINE, AS IT SHOULD. INTERMITTENTLY, WITHOUT WARNING WILL START HAVING DOOR LOCKS GO UP AND DOWN, ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, GAUGE CLUSTER RESETTING AND COMPLETE POWER LOSS TO THE ENGINE AND COMPONENTS (POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC.) 2. UPON SHUTTING OFF ENGINE EXPERIENCING FULL POWER LOSS. CANNOT CRANK ENGINE UNTIL POWER HAS BEEN RESTORED BY POPPING HOOD AND WIGGLING BATTERY TERMINAL CABLES. THE REASON WHY THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD HAVE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL, IS FIRST, WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS TRAVELING AT 80MPH. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO GUIDE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO USE BLINKER, POWER STEERING, OR POWER BRAKES. I HAVE COMMUNICATION WITH OTHER GM OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR RANGE, BUT AFFECTING MULTIPLE GM AND CHEVY MODELS. (ONE IS 2009 YUKON, DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUES.) I KNOW THAT THIS COMPLAINT HAS BEEN ISSUED BY OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. IT IS TIME FOR ACTION. *TR
