2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

ELECTRICAL - INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS IMPOSSIBLE TO READ AT MOST TIMES DURING DAYLIGHT. GMC DOES LIGHT UP THE ODOMETER/DIC AND GEAR INDICATOR BUT SPEEDOMETER, RPM, FUEL, OIL, OIL, WATER ALL ARE NOT READABLE AT MOST TIMES. *TR

DIFFICULT TO SEE SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGES ON SUNNY DAYS. WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM.*CN

CLOTH SEATS ACCUMULATE POLLEN AND DUST CREATING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WITH BREATHING CONDITIONS - THIS PROBLEM IS ACKNOWLEDGED BY GM VIA A TSB NUMBERED SUBJECT: EXCESSIVE LINT ACCUMULATION ON CLOTH SEATS (REPLACE SEAT COVERS) #07-08-50-018 - (08/28/2007) AND THEN AGAIN WITH DOCUMENT ID# 2023269. I KNOW THIS TYPICALLY DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A SAFETY CONCERN BUT THE SITUATION IS RELATIVELY EXTREME TO THE POINT WHERE AFTER A WHILE THAT USING A VACUUM CLEANER IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH BREATHING PROBLEMS. *TR

THERE IS A LOUD CLUNKING FROM THE FRONT END WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED,THE CLUNCKING CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL AS WELL AS THE FLOORBOARD, IT FEELS AS IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS COMING DISCONECTED FROM THE RACKON PINION. THIS PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN HUDSON FL.ON 12/16/06 AND IN LESS THAN 15,000 MILES IN HAS RETURNED. IN SPEEKING WITH G.M CUST SERV 12/18/07 THEY FOUND DOC'S STATING THIS IS A NOTED PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE NO RESOLUTION. JKS *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED. THROUGH A REFLECTION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND THEN SLIGHTLY RELEASED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE, HOWEVER, THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH TWICE. THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WERE NOT VISIBLE DURING THE DAYTIME. THE ONLY WAY ANY OF THE GAUGES CAN BARELY BE SEEN IS BY ACTIVATING THE HEADLIGHTS OR USING A FLASHLIGHT. WHEN HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THEY GAVE HIM THE RUN AROUND. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED BY A GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TO CALL THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,069 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED A BRUISED COLLAR BONE. AS OF SEPTEMBER 7, 2007, THE DEALER HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 11,800. UPDATED 12-12-2007 *BF UPDATED 12/12/07. *JB

DRIVER'S SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR DOESN'T HAVE AUTO DIM. N A TRIP AND NOTICED PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR DOESN'T AUTO DIM 04/18/07 AND FROM THEN ON HAD ISSUE WITH MIRROR NOT AUTO DIMMING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP 06/29/07 THEY SAID DUE TO THE VEHICLE BUILD IT IS NOT EQUIPPED. SO AGAIN DRIVING AT NIGHT ON 07/04/07 HAD A PROBLEM WITH GLARE AND DISTRACTION FROM VEHICLE LIGHTS BEHIND ME, SHINING IN PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR. I HAVE A DISPUTE TO MAKE AND I BELIEVE IT IS SAFETY RELATED. I HAVE A 2007 GMC SIERRA CREW CAB WITH POWER FOLDING TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR REAR VIEW MIRRORS. ON THE DRIVERS SIDE THE GLASS AUTO DIMS, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IT DOES NOT. HOWEVER IT IS TO MY BELIEF GM HAS BUILT THESE TRUCKS THIS WAY TO SAVE MONEY. I ON THE OTHER HAND FEEL THAT IF THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE ONE SIDE AUTO DIM WHY SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE BOTH SIDES AUTO DIM, DUE TO THE FACT DRIVERS STILL GET BLINDSIDED AND DISTRACTED WHEN THERE ARE BRIGHT LIGHTS SHINING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR. I HAD A 2004 GMC SIERRA WITH BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE MIRRORS THAT DID AUTO DIM. MANY OF THE 2007 GMC SIERRA TRUCKS ARE BUILT THIS WAY AND I FEEL THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO THE DRIVER, NOT ONLY IS IT AN ANNOYANCE, NOT ONLY WITH A PERSON SUCH AS MYSELF HAS A SENSITIVITY TO BRIGHT LIGHTS AND GLARE AT NIGHT. I PROPOSE THAT GM BE CONTACTED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND A RECALL BE PERFORMED ON THESE PASSENGER SIDE REARVIEW MIRROR GLASS. THANK YOU . *AK

I BOUGHT A GMC SIERRIA LAST AUGUST IN 2006 AND IT HAD 6,440 MILES ON IT. YESTERDAY, I GOT A FLAT TIRE. I GOT THAT TIRE REPLACED BECAUSE THE BELT WAS BROKEN IN IT WITH A PUNCHURE IN IT. THEN ABOUT 4 HRS LATER I GOT ANOTHER FLAT TIRE WITH THE BELT BROKE IN IT.*AK
