1999 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRACTURED AND AS A RESULT, THE SEAT WOULD SLIDE BACK AND FORTH ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

BRAKES FAILED AS I WAS JUST LEAVING THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE , TOW TO GARAGE $65.00 INSTALLED ALL NEW BRAKE LINES FROM MASTER CYLINDER TO ABS PUMP AND FROM ABS PUMP TO EACH WHEELS FLEX LINE COST OF $300.49, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS$10.00,LABOR $500.00 . *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35MPH AND I WAS COMING TO A RED LIGHT SO I PUT ON THE BRAKES AND I HEARD A POP AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I ALMOST WENT THRU THE INTERSECTION. I GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK AND SAW THAT I WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID FROM THE FRONT. I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW MY FRONT BRAKE LINE WAS LEAKING AROUND A CORRODED AREA ON A HARD BRAKE LINE ATTACHED THE FRAME RAIL. IT WAS A HARD BRAKE LINE FAILURE NOT A RUBBER LINE LIKE IN THE WHEEL WELL. I CANT BELIEVE THAT A TRUCK THAT IS 12 YEARS OLD HAS A BRAKE LINE RUST THRU, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

WAS DRIVING TO THE DUMP AND THE BRAKES FAILED.. PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. ALMOST CRASHED BUT WAS ABLE TO STOP WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE. BRAKE FLUID WAS PORING OUT FROM UNDER DRIVERS SEAT. *TR

WAS DRIVING HOME AND NOTICED THAT WHEN THE BRAKE WAS PRESSED IT HAD TO BE PRESSED HARDER TO STOP. ONCE ARRIVING HOME NOTICED THAT BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE. THE BRAKE LINE IS RUSTED, CORRODED AND HAS A BREAK IN THE LINE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

I NOTICED A STRONG ODOR OF GAS COMING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK. I ONLY NOTICED THE FUEL LEAKING WHEN THE TRUCK WAS ON A DOWNHILL GRADE. I CLIMBED UNDER THE TRUCK TO SEE WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE FUEL LEAK IS COMING FROM THE RETURN LINE ON THE FRAME UNDER WHERE THE FUEL FILTER IS ATTACHED. THAT SECTION OF THE FUEL LINE IS TOTALLY CORRODED AND FUEL IS SLOWLY DRIPPING FROM IT. I AM TAKING IT TO MY MECHANIC TOMORROW FOR REPAIR. THE BRAKE LINE RIGHT ABOVE THE FUEL LINE IS ALSO SEVERELY CORRODED. GM REALLY NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THESE ISSUES DUE TO THESE CORRODED FUEL AND BRAKE LINES. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AGAIN. *TR

I WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOME. I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN TO START THE TRUCK AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD THE WINDOW DOWN SO EVERYTIME I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL I HEARD THE PRESSURE OF THE BRAKE FLUID BEING PUSHED OUT THE BROKEN BRAKE LINE. IT COST 350.00 JUST TO GET REPAIRED PLUS A TOW. MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS CAUSED BY THE BRAKE LINE BEING CORRODED. IT WAS ONLY ONE OF THE FOUR BRAKE LINES ON MY TRUCK BUT THE MECHANIC SAID THE OTHER ONES LOOK PRETTY BAD ALSO AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE ALL OF THEM. *TR

MY GMC SIERRA HAS THE 5.3 V8 ENGINE AND THREE OF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE BROKEN OFF AND IT IS LEAKING EXHAUST FUMES .THESE BOLTS SHOULD NOT BREAK OFF SO EASILY.I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
