2003 GMC SIERRA 2500 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING, LARGE AMOUNT OF SMOKE CAME OUT. TOOK IT TO GM DEALER WHO SAID THAT IT THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE LEAKING. LOOKED ONLINE AND NOTICED HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OF THE SAME ACTION. GMC APPARENTLY DID AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE ISSUE, BUT ONLY COVERED IT FOR 7 YEARS FROM TIME OF PURCHASE AND UP TO 200,000 MILES. TALKED TO LOCAL DEALER WHO DENIED THE SERVICE AND GM WONT REPLACE THE FUEL INJECTORS. *TR

2003 GMC SIERRA 2500HD THE INJECTORS WANT BAD WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL HOUSING. SO CHANGED THAT NOW HAVING TO CHANGE INJECTORS. *TR

I HAD STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND WHEN I LEFT I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I PUT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE LINES RUPTURED . WAS ABLE TO GET TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THE LINES HAD RUSTED THROUGH. ALL LINES HAD TO BE CHANGED, *TR

I KEEP GETTING REDUCED ENGINE POWER P1516 CODE . READING THE POST'S ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A REAL COMMON PROBLEM.ALSO THE SPEEDOMETER WILL DISPLAY 120 MPH SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT.

GOING DOWN A HILL APPROACHING A "T" INTERSECTION I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND WENT TO FLOOR, TRIED PUMPING NOTHING SO I PUT THE TRUCK IN 3RD GEAR AND THEN 2ND AND SHUT OFF MY LIGHTS TO SEE IF ANY CARS WHERE COMING INTO "T" . I NEED TO TURN LEFT, LUCKILY NO CARS MADE IT THRU. BUT I HAD TO CROSS A HWY BEFORE GETTING HOME. I DID THE SAME THING WENT FROM D TO 3RD TO 2ND, AGAIN NO CARS. WAS VERY LUCKY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING UP TO AN INTERSECTION I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL DROPPED TO THE FLOOR, NO BRAKES. THE CROSS TRAFFIC WAS APPROACHING AT 50 MPH, AND MY ROAD STOPPED SO I HAD TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT. LUCKILY, BY SOME MIRACLE THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC JUST MISSED SLAMMING INTO ME. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM GM ASKING FOR ME TO HAVE THE BRAKE LINES CHECKED, EVEN THOUGH I SEE ONLINE THAT I AM FAR FROM ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I SEE YOU STARTED INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE IN 2010 - WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? I WAS ALMOST KILLED AND NO ONE IS WARNING OWNERS OF GM TRUCKS I GUESS WHEN THE GOVERNMENT OWNS PART OF GM THEY DON"T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RECALLS....... THE CONSUMER STATED THE REASON THE BRAKES FAILED, WERE DUE TO RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINES.

AS I BEGAN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY MY BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD A RAPID DECREASE IN BRAKING POWER. UPON INVESTIGATION I NOTICED BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE BRAKE LINES RIGHT ABOVE THE FRAME RAIL ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IT COULD HAVE LED TO INJURIES OR FATALITIES ESPECIALLY WHEN SUCH A LARGE AND HEAVY TRUCK SUDDENLY LOSES BRAKING POWER. *TR

SLOWING DOWN APPROACHING A STOP LITE ,APPLIED BRAKES WAS A SHUDDER OF ANTI LOCK AND PEDAL WENT DOWN TO FLOOR. HAD TO APPLY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID A CRASH. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD AT SPEED LIMIT, HIT BRAKES, REAR BRAKE LINE BURST (WAS SEVERELY RUSTED). I WAS UNABLE TO STOP VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED THROUGH A RED LIGHT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD ON BOARD IN HIS CAR SEAT. HOW WE BOTH MADE IT OUT OF THAT INCIDENT UNSCATHED IS AMAZING. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AND HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND HIT THE PARKING BRAKE. IT TOOK MY SON A GOOD 2 MONTHS BEFORE HE WAS ABLE TO RID HIMSELF OF FEAR AND ANXIETY DUE TO WHAT HAPPENED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, HE ATTEMPTED TO DECELERATE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND NOTICED THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE BRAKE LINE THAT CAUSED A LEAK. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT HE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE BRAKE LINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,075. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
