| 2005 gmc sierra slt vin #1gtek19b25z238042 i drove the truck 237 miles home and noticed it was not operating properly. i called gmc to resolve the problems. the truck has binding in the front axles, brakes, or differential. this causes the truck to understeer heavily as the truck works to turn the front wheels over the road surface. this also makes the truck difficult to steer, u turns are especially a problem, the truck has sluggish acceleration and stays longer in the lower gears. the rear tires are prone to lose traction due to the increased rolling resistance from the front wheels, braking performance is compromised, the truck will sway back and forth at highway speeds as the rolling resistance of the front wheels varies from side to side. the truck tends to pull to the left, and the suspension is always preloaded from the additional stress. the engine labors to maintain speed on level ground with the vehicle unloaded. on occasion the front wheels will hop off the pavement as it is easier for them to compress the suspension/torsion bars than be turned over the road. it is difficult to maintain a straight line with the truck since the front wheels tend to follow the contours of the road. the front wheel assemblies make a low frequency sound when driving. the transmission, engine, and drivetrain components are always loaded and driving on snow or ice would be treacherous since the front wheels would stop turning on the low friction surface. driving in the rain is bad enough and the rear wheels tend to break loose. the transmission has behaved strangely, stuttering on occasion as it tried to find the proper gear, it has slipped or freewheeled as i went to accelerate from a stop. the wrong oil filter was installed, the air cleaner is loose and rattles in the engine compartment. the power steering provides little or no assist and requires more effort than i have ever experienced from a vehicle that is supposed to have power steering. *nm | |||

| I own a 2003 2500 hd 4x4, a wonderful vehicle it would be even more wonderful if i could find a dealer that would stand behind his product. my next car probably will not be gmc or chevy. i have owned the car since june of 2003. due to the nature of my business i already have 98,000 miles. during that time i have complained about fuel mileage. the reports lie. nobody will do anything about the fuel mileage. because it can't get any better because they lied. i have lost a vaccume pump, and a left front wheel hub which had to be completely replaced. what prompted my complaint is that i have started developing a vibration at 77-83 mph. dealer rep says you shouldn't be doing 80 mph. therefore since our mechanics can't speed in your vehicle ( completely understandable) you don't have a vibration. despite the fact that the vibration occours at 80mph i still have a vibration and just because it is against the law, ( 75 is about the norm on our highways), doesn't mean i don't have a vibration. my guess is that it is either another wheel hub, or something in the installation of the new vaccume pump. because after they replaced that it ran good for awhile. the vibration is getting worse and i am at 97-98,000 miles. vehicle is also starting to surge, but not all the time. from what i have read about the other complaints it could be the ac acting up. but since it wasn't surging this time, well if your a consumer reading this you know the story. i have told you all the bad. now for some good.... the brake system on this car is beautiful i am still less than half all the way around. the brake system is perfectly tuned from front to back. i have hauled cars and trailors from time to time and the engine transmission and brakes all work together beautifully. its the service i am complaining about. | |||

| Dt: the contact owns a 2005 gmc sierra 1500. the truck had a transmission leak. after five times trying to correct the problem he let the vehicle go back, and lost money on the truck when he traded it in. he had the receipts available. they replaced seals on the rear shaft and the rear shaft housing. he called gmc customer service they had a kit so they had to replace a bunch of seals in it. three weeks later the vehicle was leaking again. the vehicle has been in the shop 4 times for the same problem since the date of purchase which was november 15, 2004. also, had problems with the cd player. they corrected the problem by replacing the entire cd player.*ak | |||

| Dt: the engine has died, once while driving and once at a stop sign. the transmission was jumping and was put in neutral to steer to another lane. the other time there was no sign of a problem before engine stalled out. there has been many times this has been in the shop due to transmission problems. have been with gm a few times and they came to the conclusion that they would send a representative to check out the truck. they never sent one, as of today, gm said that they didn't do that. consumer wanted a buy back. consumer talked to bbb today, they said that the consumer might be getting a call from gm. consumer had the vehicle in the shop 3 times, all due to transmission and engine related problems. dealer has tried to fix problem 3 different times, but that is not working and has made condition worse than before. *tt | |||

| Extreme overheating of 3500 duramax while towing. loss of power and overheating of transmission and engine. numerous contacts with general motors and attorney general in michigan. gm acknowledges there is a problem but don't know what the problem is therefore no fix for the problem. are continuing to find a fix. we tow a 5th wheel in the colo. mountains and this could lead to very serious problems if the engine should blow and we would have loss of steering and braking. *jb | |||
