We were in a roll over accident going under 30mph. I was a passenger in the back seat. When I woke up I saw that the driver was hanging out the door window. The air bags did not deploy. The driver who was also the owner of the truck died of multiple blunt forces. The insurance company had the truck towed to COPART in Las Vegas.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WE HIT BLACK ICE AND ULTIMATELY ENDED UP WITH A FRONT IMPACT WHICH TURNED INTO A 2 TIME VEHICLE ROLLOVER. BOTH FRONT SEAT BELTS AND BUCKLED DURING THE ROLLOVER AND DID NOT LOCK AND NEITHER OF THE AIRBAGS IN FRONT WHEN OFF AT ANY POINT DURING THE COLLISION

I PURCHASE THIS TRUCK 2/03/17 AND HAVE USED IT UNTIL 2 WEEKS AGE WHEN THE BRAKE LINES BROKE IN MY DRIVEWAY, I AM HAVING THE LINES REPLACED WITH STAINLESS LINES AT A COST OF ABOUT $1200 ( I AM NOT SURE OF THE TOTAL COST BECAUSE IT ALSO NEEDS A ANTILOCK BRAKING PUMP WHICH WAS BADLY CORRODED) THE FUEL LINGS ARE ALSO RUSTED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AND ALSO THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO BE DETERMINED LATER. I HAVE A 1953 CHEVY PICKUP THAT STILL HAS GOOD BRAKE LINES AND THE FRAME IS IN BETTER SHAPE THAN THE NEWER ONES, IF GM LOOKED TO THE PAST AT THE MATERIALS & METHODS THEY MIGHT BUILD A BETTER PRODUCT RATHER THAN THE GARBAGE THEY PRODUCE NOW! I AM GLAD I DIDN'T PAY $30-$60,000 FOR THIS TRUCK.

WHILE DRIVING OF A CITY STREET, AT A SLOW RATE (10-15MPH) AND TAKING A SLOW, APPROXIMATELY 90 DEGREE LEFT TURN, I HEARD A LOUD "POPPING/BREAKING SOUND". WHILE MAKING THE TURN, I INITIALLY HAD TURNING CAPABILITIES UNTIL I HEARD THE "POP" SOUND. UPON HEARING THE SOUND, I NO LONGER HAD THE ABILITY TO TURN THE WHEELS TO EITHER DIRECTION. UPON STOPPING AND TURNING OFF THE TRUCK, I FOUND THE PITMAN ARM(CONNECTED TO STEERING BOX AND STEERING BAR) WAS DETACHED FROM THE STEERING BAR BUT STILL ATTACHED TO STEERING BOX. THE BOLT OF THE PITMAN ARM HAD BROKEN OFF CLEANLY FROM THE STEERING BAR, RENDERING MY STEERING CAPABILITIES INEFFECTUAL. ATTACHED IS A PICTURE OF THE PITMAN ARM SHEERED BOLT. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT THAT THIS DEFECTIVE PIECE OF MATERIAL COULD HAVE COST DAMAGE TO LIFE, PROPERTY AND POTENTIALLY DEATH OF MYSELF OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I WOULD LIKE SOME FORM OF RESTITUTION ON PART OF THE MANUFACTURE. THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR WAS APPROXIMATELY $225 USD. I CAN PROVIDE THE BI

I HAVE OWNED MANY GM TRUCKS, AND NEVER HAD ONE WITH SO MANY RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINES. WHY CAN'T THEY MAKE THEM WITH STAINLESS STEEL LINES. THEY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FRONT AND BACK LINES GO AT THE SAME TIME, I WILL TELL YOU, NO BRAKES ! THIS IS THE WORST ONE WITH THE RUST THAT I HAVE HAD. 3 LINES RUST OUT ON THE GMC 2500 HD (2002) WITH MORE TO COME, I HAVE 25,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK. THE FIRST LINE WENT ABOUT 15,000 MILES. ALSO I ONLY GOT ABOUT 5,000 MILES ON THOSE FIRESTONE TIRES, CHEAP TIRES COME WITH THIS TRUCK. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE FRAME IS RUSTING, HAD TO HAVE THE CABLE REPLACED THAT SHIFTS THE TRUCK INTO GEAR, IT RUSTED OUT. I GO TO THE CAR WASH AND ALWAYS WASH THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK TO GET ALL THE DIRT AND SALT OFF EVERY CHANCE I GET. WHEN I GOT THE GMC I WAS TOLD BY THE GMC GARAGE NOT TO HAVE THE TRUCK UNDERCOATED BECAUSE IT WOULD VOID THE WARRANTY ON IT. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE CABLES REPLACED ON THE TAIL GATE DUE TO RUST. VERY SAD ABOUT THIS GMC

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

DRIVING INTO DRIVEWAY APPLIED BRAKES , PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR NO WARNING LIGHT OR ANY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM GOT OUT OF TRUCK AND FOUND FLUID DRIPPING OFF FRAME BY FUEL TANK. RUPTURED LINE ABOVE TANK ON FRAME, OTHER BRAKE LINES ALSO LOOK CORRODED. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON GM TRUCKS . OWNERS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE LINES. *TR

PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO THE STREET. APPLIED THE BRAKES WHEN REACHING THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY AND BRAKE PEDAL WHEN COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. WAS ABLE TO STOP, BEING THAT I WAS ONLY GOING AROUND 2 MPH AT THE TIME. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK, I SAW A LARGE AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID ON THE DRIVEWAY FROM A BURST BRAKE LINE. *TR

DRIVING DOWN RURAL ROAD AT 55MPH, A DEER JUMPS INTO MY PATH. I QUICKLY BRAKE, ABS ACTIVATES AND PEDAL DROPS TO NEAR FLOOR. TRUCK DOES STOP, BUT BRAKING MUCH MORE DIFFERENT THAN NORMAL. DEER MOVES ON AND I START MOVING AGAIN. NEXT STOP SIGN I NOTICE THAT BRAKE PEDAL DROPS TO FLOOR, STILL BRAKING, BUT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO BRAKE. I MADE IT HOME AND NOTICED MY BRAKE LINE DIRECTLY UNDER THE DRIVER POSITION WAS SPRAYING FLUID NOW. *TR

BRAKES FAILED WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD. ALL BRAKE LINES ARE SEVERELY RUSTED. IS THEIR A GALVANIC REACTION BETWEEN LINES AND TRUCK THAT IS CAUSING THIS? HAVE NEVER HAD BRAKE LINES RUST AS BADLY ON OTHER VEHICLES THAT WERE OLDER THAN THIS ONE. *TR

I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR 15-20 MILES BOTH ON AND OFF THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED FINE. I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 60 MPH AND WAS COMING UP ON HIGHWAY TRAFFIC THAT WAS AT A STANDSTILL . I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE AND IT WENT STRAIT TO THE FLOOR, ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES AT ALL AND NO EVEN A HINT THIS WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY, NARROWLY MISSING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, AND USED THE TRANSMISSION AND E BRAKE TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED ON A GRASSY SHOULDER. HAD A VEHICLE BEEN NEXT TO ME OR A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER BEEN BEHIND THE WHEEL, IT MAY HAVE BEEN A MUCH WORSE OUTCOME . I KNOW AT LEAST 10 PEOPLE WHO OWN SIMILAR VEHICLES AND EVERYONE HAS HAD A BRAKE LINE FAILURE AT SOME POINT. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND COVER THIS BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE GET HURT OR KILLED! *TR
