| Exhaust manifold bolts broke on driver side, back two. these bolts are far too small for the job and this exposes heat and exhaust gases to the environment. creating a fire danger too. | |||

| Gmc 2001 sierra c3 parking brake no longer functions as it should. this is a severe safety issue as the pedal goes to the floor and there is no way to adjust it (from what i can tell). a previous campaign 05v161000 alluded to this issue but only for manual transmission trucks. this is not logical as the mechanism is the same. *tr | |||

| I was involved in a crash where i think the brakes on my 2001 gmc sierra failed to stop my vehicle in time. i rear-ended a pickup truck, which hit a toyota, which then hit a jeep. i know there has been a recall on abs front wheel speed sensors, yet my vin was not included in the recall. nhtsa should force gm to recall all trucks, regardeless of location, and have the abs system properly fixed (not just clean the sensors!!). *nm | |||
