2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

I CANNOT SEE THE INSTRUMENTS ON MY 2007 GM SIERRA ON A SUNNY DAY. NOT EVEN THE SPEEDOMETER. TURNING ON THE LIGHTS DOES LITTLE TO HELP. GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE IN A HURRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. GM DOCUMENT ID# 1879131 DATED 12/19/06. *AK

EXCESSIVE "CREAKING" NOISE HEARD FROM WITHIN STEERING WHEEL DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. MOST NOTICEABLE DURING SUBTLE TURNS (APPROX 0.5-1.0 INCH) TO LEFT AND RIGHT WHILE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED FROM A CENTERED POSITION. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THE CONTACT ACCIDENTALLY ACTIVATED THE ADJUSTABLE THROTTLE PEDAL SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND AVOID A COLLISION. THE THROTTLE SWITCH ENGAGED THE VEHICLE'S SPEED CONTROL. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE THAT THE LOCATION OF THE THROTTLE SWITCHWAS A SAFETY HAZARD. COMPLAINT # 71502035998 WAS FILED WITH GENERAL MOTORS, AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE FAILED TO WARN THE CONTACT THAT THE THROTTLE SWITCH COULD BE DEACTIVATED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 986, AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110.*AK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC SIERRA EXTENDED CAB. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH HE DROVE OVER A PATCH OF BLACK ICE AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. UPON IMPACT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT DIDN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY OR HOLD HIS SON IN PLACE AS IT SHOULD HAVE. THE PASSENGER HIT HIS FOREHEAD ON THE WINDSHIELD AND BROKE THE FEMUR BONE IN HIS LEG. ALSO, THE CONTACT SUSTAINED TRAUMA TO HIS HEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,800. *AK

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 PICKUP FROM LONE STAR PONTIAC BUICK GMC IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS ON 11/18/06. ONLY AFTER BEING PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING DID I REALIZE THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT CALIBRATED CORRECTLY AFTER THE DEALERSHIP HAD INSTALLED AN AFTER-MARKET LIFT KIT AND LARGE TIRES AND WHEELS ON THIS TRUCK. I DISCOVERED BY CALLING ANOTHER GM DEALER THAT BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT CALIBRATED CORRECTLY IT CAUSES THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE DEALERSHIP WILLFULLY AND WITHOUT REGARD TO THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS SOLD VEHICLES LIKE MINE THAT HAD BRAKE SYSTEMS THAT DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE GENERAL MANAGER CONFIRMED THAT THEY HAVE SOLD MANY TRUCKS LIKE THIS SO IT IS REASONABLE TO ASSUME THERE ARE MANY TRUCKS ON THE ROAD NOW WHICH MAY HAVE FAULTY ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMS. I AM CONCERNED FOR EVERYONE ELSE THAT PURCHASED ONE OF THESE TRUCKS AND AREN'T AWARE THEIR BRAKES DON'T WORK RIGHT. THE GENERAL MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE SPEEDOMETERS CAN NOT BE CALIBRATED CORRECTLY. *JB
