2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

I BOUGHT A NEW HEAVY DUTY 2006 1/2 TON PICKUP TRUCK. IT PRESENTLY HAS FIFTY THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED MILES ON IT. I JUST WENT TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND WAS TOLD THE IDLER ARM ON THE STEERING ROD WAS WORN OUT. WHEN I ASKED FURTHER QUESTIONS THE TIRE GUY SAID THIS WAS REAL COMMON IN GM PRODUCTS. I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT IS OK FOR NOW BUT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO. I AM 60 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED NEW AND USED VEHICLES ALL MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. IF THIS IDLER ARM ON THE STEERING SHOULD FAIL THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO CONTROL THE TRUCK. I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PERFECTLY. GM MUST BE PUTTING SUBSTANDARD IDLER ARMS ON THEIR STEERING TIE RODS FOR HEAVY DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS. I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES WITH OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. *TR

WE NEED TO INSTALL A TODDLER'S BRITAX CAR SEAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF A 2007 GMC SIERRA TRUCK. OUR TRUCK HAS NO WAY TO ALLOW US TO TURN OFF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. WE HAVE CONTACTED GMC CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND OUR LOCAL DEALER AT CROWN GMC IN ST. PETE FL AND THEY TOLD US THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN TURN IT OFF. THEN ERICA CALLED FROM GMC CORPORATE AND TOLD US IT COULD BE TURNED OFF BUT WE NEEDED TO CONTACT YOU AND FILL OUT A FORM. HER PHONE NUMBER IS 866-790-5600 EXT 11292. PLEASE HELP US FIGURE OUT A SAFE WAY TO INSTALL THE SEAT AND AUTHORIZE GMC TO SHOW US HOW TO TURN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF WHEN THE CHILD CAR SEAT IS IN AND ON FOR WHEN THE SEAT IS NOT INSTALLED AND AN ADULT PASSENGER RIDES IN FRONT. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 GMC SIERRA EXTENDED CAB Z71. THE TRUCK IS APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS OLD WITH 20000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN THE NORTHEAST FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFE. THE FRAME ON THE TRUCK FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR AS WELL AS MANY OF THE COMPONENTS UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK HAVE BECOME EXTREMELY RUSTED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MANY DEALERS AND THEY SAY THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE ROAD SALT AND SNOW/ICE THAT COMES WITH THE NORTHEAST WINTER. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, BUT I AM AFRAID THAT THIS RUST WILL LEAD TO CORROSION(ROT) AND SOMETHING MAJOR COULD HAPPEN TO THE VEHICLE AND OR MYSELF. SINCE THIS TRUCK IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS THIS ISSUE, IT IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE WITH AGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500(NA). THE ORIGINAL SEAT COVERS WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY ABSORBED LINT VERY RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND REPLACEMENT COVERS WERE INSTALLED. THE REPLACEMENT MATS EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, SMOKE BEGAN TO ENGULF THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE WIRING MELTED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FROM AN UNKNOWN CAUSE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS AND RESISTOR FOR THE BLOWER MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED ITS WARRANTY, THEY WOULD NOT ASSUME FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 40,000.

I HAVE A 2007 SIERRA,WHICH HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS SINCE IT WAS PUR CHASED. IT HAS STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRAFFIC WHEN I WAS DRIVING. IT HAS DONE THIS 4 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT, THEY NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ON SATURDAY THE CAR STOP , IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AND THIS TIME IT DID NOT MOVE AT ALL. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE, AND I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT, BUT I WAS STUCK. I WAS WORRIED THAT SOMEONE COULD CRUSH FROM THE BACK, BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT PASS, THERE WAS A MAN THAT CAME AND PUSH MY TRUCK TO GET OUT OF THE STREET .AND NOW I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY DAUGHTER AND ME. THIS VEHICLE HAS GIVING ME MANY PROBLEMS, BUT THE DEALER NEVER SEEMS TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAD SOME ITEMS INSTALLED BY THEM. ONE WAS A DVD PLAYER, IT COST 2,300. AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS MY FAULT SO THEY DID NOT FIX IT. AND THAT WAS 3 MOTHS AFTER THE INSTALLATION OF THE DVD BY THEM. AND THE BATTERY DIE ON THE TRUCK 4 MONTHS AFTER IT WAS PURCHASED. THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THEY CHANGE. I HOPE THAT I CAN BE HELPED, I FEEL VERY INSECURE IN THIS VEHICLE. I'M HAPPY THAT I DID NOT GET INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF ALL THESE PROBLEMS. THANK YOU . *TR

I WAS PULLED OVER BY MY LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR DEFECTIVE BRAKE LAMPS 3 TIMES. I HAVE GONE TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIPS AND THEY REPLACE THE SWITCHES 4 TIMES. I THEN GOT PULLED OVER AGAIN SO I BROUGHT IT TO LEMAY BUICK AND GMC IN KENOSHA WI. THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH 2 TIMES. WHEN YOU PUSH ON THE PEDDLE AND LET UP JUST A HAIR THE BRAKE LIGHT GO INOP. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE I COULD GET REAR ENDED AT ANYTIME WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS. I HOOKED UP A LIGHT ON MY DASH TO LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY ARE OR ARE NOT WORKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK 95% OF THE TIME GOING 70MPH AND SLOWING DOWN TO 55MPH THE LIGHTS DON'T EVEN BLINK. I TRIED CALLING GMC AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR
