| This problem concerns my 2001 gmc sierra and gm's recall number 05068. the recall concerns the abs and a rust problem. i had the recall performed on oct. 19, 2005 and there was 47,249 miles on the odometer. i noticed a braking problem last week with my truck. after doing a search on the internet, i decided it was probably a abs sensor problem. i took it to the same dealer that did the original recall. they checked with gm regional manager and said it was already covered once and wouldn't cover it a second time. i had the repair done at the dealership on dec. 8, 2010 and the mileage was 65,849. so the effect of the recall only lasted 18,600 miles. i know 5 years have past, but the same issue in that few miles? i sent an email to gm on dec. 9 and they phoned me this morning. said the vehicle age was such that they wouldn't do anything. if i had 150,000 miles or so on the truck, i wouldn't think that much about this. however, this is a problem that gm issued a recall on and from what a understand, the original recall did nothing but remove rust from the sensor and treat the surface. i would think a recall would last more that 18,600 miles. i don't know if you have had any other people with the same concern about the recall only stalling a problem later on down the road, but wanted to make you aware of the concern i have. the brakes will fail at low speeds when they are applied and the message center in the dash does not give any message. thank you. | |||

| Exhaust manifold bolt breakage,i'm writing in regards to my 2001 gmc sierra w/5.3 liter motor,i have have recently discovered a bolt broken off on my head that mounts my exhaust manifold is a defective or inferior product used by gmc this repair should not be necessary for any vehicle if the proper materials were used during original assembly of the vehicle by gmc or any other company in that regard,this repair is a very expensive according to my mechanic to the sum of $760+tax to repair and if it is not fixed it can lead to catalytic converter failure amongst other emission failures as well and possibly fire in the engine compartment as well due to excessive hot exhaust heat escaping from the broken bolt area into engine compartment,as for this complaint i have done some research on this matter and have found a large majority of other gmc owners with this same problem and are not very happy with gmc's inability to own up to responsibility as a manufacturer to fix this obvious and expensive defect due to inferior or improper material used on these vehicles,so any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated by all gmc owners affected by this consistent problem.. | |||

| The abs warning light comes on intermittently. troubleshooting and research points to the likely failure of the abs sensors in the hub of the left and right front wheels. the abs warning light occurs very frequently. potential consequence is sudden abs failure, hence serious injury to occupants. | |||
