    All I can say to you Ford people is that my GMC Sierra runs fine, has 90,000 miles, has had only routine maintenance done, and can still run from Ohio, cross country pass all Fords on any stretch of highway. I have sleeping disorder from all the Fords rusting as I try to sleep. I'll ry buying a GM the next time. My uncle worked for Ford 35 year and always bought GM, and he still enjoying retirement because he doesn't have to give it back to Ford for junk.

    I had complete brake failure on my 2001 GMC Sierra 3500. Coming up to a crowded intersection this past weekend, I applied my brakes and the pedal went straight to the floor. I managed to veer off the road and force a downshift to avoid a collision. I would have used my emergency brake, but it is almost useless, even though that was "fixed" under a recall by GM.

    So, upon inspection of my lines, I found out that the failure occurred on the line that rides the frame top to the rear. The rupture occurred in the section that passes by the fuel tank. It is truly unbelievable how corroded those lines are. They are beyond anything that could be considered "normal", looking like they're 50 years old. It seems that they have been completely exposed to the elements and in and out of a salt bath for the past 50 years. For that matter, the whole frame under there is on par with the lines. The fuel line and connectors are equally as bad. And everything will have to be replaced. How can GM ignore this obvious issue? I don't drive the truck when there is salt on the roads in the winter. I don't live near salt water. It's parked on a paved driveway. Yet, everything underneath the truck looks like it's been in a corrosive salt bath for years, including the rockers which have also been replaced.

    I looked under my 2000 Escort. All the lines are almost shiny with zero signs of corrosion. And that car gets driven all winter in the road crap. I have the original lines off of my 64 Chevelle that look brand new compared to what's under this truck. I'm in complete awe at how bad the under part of this truck is. In another 5 years, I expect that the frame will completely give out or be so weakened that it will be non-roadworthy.

    I bought a 2009 GMC Sierra. From the very beginning, I've had a clunking noise in my transmission as I begin to accelerate. I was told (at first) that it was my yoke. Then I was told that the factory was working on a fix. I got a call from a rep who instructed the DLR to replace the yoke.

    I took my GMC Serria truck in for service. My complaint was a clunking in the rear end. The service advisor told me that there is a factory defect on my truck. The milage on my 2009 GMC has just hit 24000. There has always felt like mabe I have gear issues. I was told that there's issues with the slip yoke binding causeing this to feel the way it does. According to the service advisor that this has been a on going issues. He says that my warrant on this is a life time. I just have to keep bringing it is when I get this clunking sound for lubrication. I feel that this should be fix now!! I have a towing package and do not even feel safe to toe any thing. I check other complaint on line and found this has been going on for years. My question If you know about this why are you still selling this truck. To me that is frawed.

    I own a '99 GMC Sierra with 156K. The brake lines are extremely rusted to the point where after changing my front brake pads and rotors today, 6/18/2011, a line failed and burst when I was applying pedal pressure after bleeding a line. It burst on the driver’s side above the rear axle. All the lines are badly rusted and I may have to replace them all now. This is such an unsafe situation. What if I was driving and the line burst and I lost brakes, an accident and or death could have occurred, maybe mine! I think GM should be held responsible for these repairs. Why couldn't they use stainless steel? Extremely dangerous situation. All '99 and above Sierra and Silverado owners should be made aware of this potentially deadly condition. The economic damage I will know after I have my Sierra towed to the shop and get an estimate. Physical damage was averted thanks to fate. It burst after I replaced front pads and rotors while bleeding lines.

    General Motor's brakes stink. I own a 2001 GMC Sierra with 58,800 miles and had to replace the rotors, calipers and pads for the second time as they are all rusted.

    I own a 1999 GMC Sierra 1500, I have a problem with my antilock brakes as i see many people have also, the antilock brakes would activate whenever i tried stopping and made the brake pedal very hard to depress, it got so bad that i had to remove the fuse for the antilock brakes.

    I complained about ticking/knocking sound from engine. I have complained many times about this problem only to be told that the problem is not detrimental to the performance, reliability or durability of the engine. The noise does not have any effect on the longevity of any of the engine components.

    My main concern other than the loud noise upon starting the engine is the resale value of my truck has been significantly decreased because no one would want a truck that has this defect. I have talked to Dianne Casey at GMC customer assistance 1 (800)222-1020 and she told me that GMC is not doing anything except on a case-by-case basis, stating that my truck is no longer in the manufacturer's warranty period. I told her that it was and that I have the extended warranty package. She did acknowledge that and told me that I had to contact GMBT at 1 (800)631-5990, a division of General Motors. She doubted that they would do anything.

    I purchased a 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD truck with an 8.1l V-8 engine new. After 600 miles the engine began to clatter loudly on cold starts. Two dealers and GMC Customer No Service Hotline all thold me their engineers had determined the noise would have no effect on the life of the engine and it was "just a characteristic of that engine."
