2005 GMC SIERRA 2500 Complaints

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I LOST ALL BRAKES,TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC ,HE INFORMED ME IT WAS RUSTED BRAKE LINES. *TR

AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND PROCEEDING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY, THE ABS LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING AND CHIMING ON THE DASH. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. I CRAWLED UNDER THE TRUCK AND FOUND THE LEFT REAR BRAKE LINE HAD CORRODED THROUGH JUST ABOVE THE FUEL TANK. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HE STATED THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT FROM GM. HE SAID I NEEDED ALL BRAKE LINES REPLACED AND GM'S NEW PARTS HAD AN EXTRA COATING TO PREVENT CORROSION. IT COST ME $1100. THIS TYPE OF FAILURE SEEMS WAY TOO SOON FOR A TRUCK WITH 38,000 MILES. *TR

BRAKES FAILED TO STOP VEHICLE AT INTERSECTION/STOPLIGHT. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND STAYED THERE. DETERMINED THAT RUST THROUGH IN BRAKE LINE AT DRIVER SIDE OF FRAME, UNDER DRIVER SEAT, HAD ALLOWED FLUID LOSS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT 2005 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE FAN MOTOR RELAY WIRES BURNED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER OR A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

2005 GMC 2500HD WITH 6.0 LITER GAS MOTOR. LEFT AND RIGHT BANK EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO ENGINE BOLTS BROKEN OFF IN HEAD. LEAKING EXHAUST FUMES AND CAUSING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. GM NEED TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS DUE TO THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES OUT THERE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS ALSO AN EMISSION PROBLEM DUE TO IT WILL CAUSE THE CAT CONVERTER TO OVERHEAT.. EPA? THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE HEATER WAS ACTIVATED AND THEN THE BLOWER FAILED TO OPERATE. IN ADDITION, THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWER WOULD NOT FUNCTION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THE BLOWER MOTOR MODULE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

STARTED THE TRUCK AND APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES PRESSING THE PEDAL THERE WAS NO BRAKES AT ALL. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I WAS INFORMED ALL THE BRAKE LINE WERE RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,300.00. THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 35,000 MILES ON IT. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING, I AM SURE THIS WOULD HAVE LIKELY CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

ALL EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE DEFECTIVE CAUSING THEM TO BREAK, WHEN THEY DO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD SEPARATES FROM THE CYLINDER HEAD IN TURN DIRECTING ALL EMISSIONS FROM THE ENGINE INTO THE AIR, AND CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE IF NOT CORRECTED. ONE SPARK WOULD SET THE VEHICLE ON FIRE. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE BREAKING OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE FOUR BROKEN ALREADY AND AN EXHAUST LEAK DEVELOPING. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH TWO OF THE SAME TRUCKS THAT THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS POSTED ON THE WEB. I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS AND WORKED THEM HARD BUT HAVE NEVER SEEN A BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT ON ANY OF THEM. THIS CAN BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS HAVING EXHAUST LEAKS UNDER HOOD COULD CAUSE A FIRE. AS FAR AS I KNOW GM HAS NOT ISSUED A BULLETIN OR RECALL ON THIS BUT THERE SHOULD BE SOME REMEDIATION AS THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND IT IS NOT A FAILURE CAUSED BY THE LACK OF MAINTENANCE. I HAVE ALSO HEARD REPORTS OF REPAIRED UNITS BREAKING AGAIN IN ABOUT THE SAME NUMBER OF MILES AND HAVING TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE, TACHOMETER, AND SPEEDOMETER ARE INOPERABLE, BUT ALL OTHER GAUGES, SUCH AS FUEL LEVEL, BATTERY METER, OIL PRESSURE, COOLANT TEMPERATURE, AND TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE GAS ARE STILL FUNCTIONING. OWN ANOTHER 2005 1500 WITH 32,632 WHICH HAS JUST STARTED DOING THE SAME. *TR
