2005 GMC 2500HD THAT THE BRAKE LINES FAILED. AFTER CHECKING THEY ARE RUSTED EVERYWHERE. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND I SEE THAT THIS IS A ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR.

SLIGHT CLUNKING STARTED WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE. FLUID ON GARAGE FLOOR. OFF TO AAMCO. FOUND TWO HOLES IN TRANSFERCASE. THE "4 STAR BUFFERING RING" ON SHAFT INSIDE POUNDED TWO HOLES IN CASING. JUST STEP ON GAS AND TORQUE POUNDS THE RING INTO THE CASING UNTIL HOLES ARE MADE. ALL FLUID POURS OUT. MOST PEOPLE WONT EVEN KNOW ITS HAPPENED UNTIL CASTASTROPHIC FAILURE. SEVERAL SEALS, CHAIN, TWO GEARS, 3 BOTTLES OF FLUID, "4 STAR BUFFER RING" AND A NEW CASING HALF WAS REQUIRED. $2654.00 TO REPAIR FOR A 12 MONTH WARRANTY. AAMCO POINTED OUT I DID NOTHING WRONG. ITS AN ENGINEERED FAILURE POINT BY GM. ADD THIS TO ; #1-SPEEDO GEAR FAILURE-20MPH AND GAGE READS 90 MPH, #2-CD/RADIO BURNT UP, #3-WATER PUMP FAILURE 16K MILES, #4-CAB OF TRUCK NOT ATTACHED TO FRAME CORRECTLY "CAB WOBBLING", #5-ROOF TEMP CONTROL UNIT FAILURE, #6-PASSENGER WINDOW MOTOR STOPS WORKING BELOW 25 DEGREES, #7-FACTORY INSTALLED BATTERY WAS THE WRONG ONE WHEN BOUGHT NEW IN OGDEN, UTAH. NOW,.... AIRBAGS???

TODAY WHEN I PARKED MY GMC SIERRA 2500HD, I TURNED OFF THE KEY SWITCH AND I NOTICED MY BLOWER MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME I SMELT SOMETHING BURNING. I WENT OUT UNDERNEATH THE HOOD OF MY VEHICLE LOCATED THE FUSE BOX AND REMOVED THE 40 AMP BLOWER MOTOR FUSE AND THAT SHUT DOWN THE HEATER AND THE SMELL STARTING GOING AWAY. IT WAS 19 DEGREES HERE IN OKLAHOMA AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND GOT SEVERAL HITS ABOUT GMC TRUCKS THAT EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE EXCEPT SOME OF THE VEHICLES BURNED COMPLETELY TO THE GROUND. I ALSO GOT INFORMATION FROM THE INTERNET THAT GENERAL MOTORS OF CANADA RECALLED ALL THERE GM PRODUCTS THAT HAD THE SAME BLOWER MOTOR ASSEMBLY. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GENERAL MOTORS, DETROIT. THEY SAID THEY HAD NO RECALLS. *TR

AFTER RETURNING FROM A DAY OF SHOPPING, I PARKED MY TRUCK AT THE BACK, LIKE ALWAYS. I HAD BEEN NOTICING OIL SPOTS FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS BUT CHALKED IT UP TO AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE TRUCK. AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS I SAW SMOKE FROM THE BACK AREA WHERE I PARKED. I RAN OUTSIDE TO CATCH TO MY SURPRISE! MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE, I AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, GRABBED THE GARDEN HOSE AND PUT OUT THE FIRE! I REALIZED AS I LOOKED, THAT THE FIRE HAD STARTED AT THE AREA UNDER THE HOOD WHERE THE FUSES, AND WIRING WERE LOCATED. AS I SLOWLY REBUILT MY TRUCK, I REALIZED THAT THE FIRE WAS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT I HAD! THE FACT OF THE MATTER WAS THAT IF THE FIRE HAD NOT SHUT MY TRUCK DOWN, THERE WERE A WHOLE ARRAY OF OTHER PROBLEMS THAT I WOULD OF HAD TO REPAIR.

THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE DID NOT STOP, BARELY AVOIDED A CRASH. FOUND POOL OF BRAKE FLUID UNDER TRUCK. FIRESTONE AUTO CHARGED $675 TO REPLACE A RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINE. ALL OTHER LINES ARE HEAVILY CORRODED AND READY TO FAIL AS WELL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SIGNALED TO TURN RIGHT LAST MINUTE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES, I ALSO APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. IF I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH FOLLOWING DISTANCE I WOULD HAVE CRASHED RIGHT IN TO THE CAR. I ONLY HAD ABOUT 1/2 INCH OF BRAKE PEDAL AND DROVE IN LOW GEAR VERY CAREFULLY THE REST OF THE SHORT DISTANCE TO WORK. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK I SAW BRAKE FLUID POURING OUT OF THE BRAKE LINES BELOW THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND THEY WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I REALIZED ALL MY BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTY ON A NINE YEAR OLD VEHICLE, I NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. I HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED AND REPAIRED AT A LOCAL GARAGE THAT CHARGED ME $1,547.61 TO REPLACE ALL THE LINES AND DID A HORRIBLE JOB. I HAD CALLED THE GMC DEALER I DEALT WITH IN THE PAST AND THEY WERE INUNDATED WITH RECALL WORK AND HAD AT LEAST A 2 WEEK WAIT AND ANOTHER GM DEALER THAT GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE PROVIDED ME AND THEY WERE ALSO ALL BOOKED UP WITH RECALL WORK AND SO I WAS FORCED TO TRUST A LOCAL SHOP. THIS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD GET PEOPLE KILLED, I ALWAYS HAVE MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE TRUCK AND IT WAS A DEATH TRAP. IN TALKING TO GMC REPS IS SEEMS THEY HAVE NO INTENTION TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS PREMATURE AND ACCELERATED RUSTING CONDITION THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED ME OR SOMEONE ELSE THEIR LIFE. *TR
