I almost ran into another car because the other driver stopped suddenly and I had to pump the brakes over and over to stop when the rusted line broke. I was on a city street driving speed limit and was lucky to be able to stop. I was towing my trailer last week and almost lost the trailer because the entire underbody IS rusted. I have had several trucks and never have seen this happen. it was a scary situation in both cases.

Three weeks ago noticed low brake fluid. Filled reservoir and didn't see and leaks. Yesterday I was in town shopping and when I came out of store and leaving brake peddle went to floor when I tried to stop had enough brake to stop before hitting car in front of me. Bought a quart of fluid and refilled tank and cautiously made it the 25 miles home after refilling twice. Looked under truck and saw leak above the fuel filter. The whole line under truck IS terribly corroded and will need replacing. I live in hawaii and have had the truck for 5 years so no salt damage here. *tr

My 2001 GMC sierra 3500 with a 8.1L V8 engine stalled while on the freeway. it would not restart until a "cool" down period. this problem surfaced as not being able to start the engine after it had run and then set for 30 - 60 minutes and would not start until several attempts were made to start it. this has been an ongoing problem for the last year and has progressed to the stall on the freeway. I was finally able to get an engine failure code from the vehicle listed as crankshaft position sensor failure. upon doing some research I found the recall from GMC (06083 -- crankshaft position sensor engine stall) and called the dealer which informed me that my vin was not covered under the recall. I then called gmc's customer service and explained that I'm having the exact problems listed on the exact vehicle with the exact engine listed. also I have since found 3 other complaints with nhtsa of this exact same problem on other vehicles that were not covered. it IS evident to me that this problem exists beyond the block of vin's GMC recalled and should be extended to cover these other vehicles. GMC does not seem to be interested in extending this recall and it should be looked into as a vehicle stalling on the freeway IS an extremely dangerous situation that should be resolved. *tr

While driving I had my brakes fail, the pedal went to the floor. It was a result of a broken steel brake line under the drivers seat. What I found when I looked under the truck was all the lines that went to the ABS unit were badly rusted. One of my coworkers had the same problem on his 2001 GMC suburban but he chucked it up to all the camping trips he went on where he left his truck parked off road. My truck however only has 30,000 miles and it has never been taken off road. I also flush the brake fluid once a year as preventative maintenance, so they can't claim they rusted from the inside out. I drive my truck every day to work about one mile away. My driveway IS paved and the parking lot at my place of work IS also paved. I don't pull any heavy trailers or do anything else that would contribute to the line failure. I am not putting down gm products because all my vehicles are gm vehicles including two antiques. One a 1955 chevy which had original brake lines until I did a disc brake conversion several years back. The other a 1970 chevelle which IS currently a restoration project but the line are still original. There IS obvious a problem with the material used to make these lines. I was researching the problem online and it appears that there are to many other people with the same problem. Also gm no longer sells the lines which makes it a much more troublesome repair. I also don't own a boat, jet ski or anything else that would require me to put my vehicle in salt water.

Injector failures on 2001 GMC duramax 6.6 diesel engine. Injectors failed and replaced under warranty at 167,000 miles, failed again at 197,000 miles and replaced under warranty. G m customer service said they would replace them under warranty if they failed again in such a short period of time. Injectors failed at 234,000 miles and gm customer service renigged on their word. Many others have had failures in 30,000 to 40,000 miles. They are replacing parts with remanufactured parts and they are not lasting. Gm dealers are charging $3600.00 to $4,500.00 to replace these injectors out of warranty. It IS plain that they know that there IS a problem with the injectors when they extended the warranty on injectors from 100,000 to 200,000 miles or seven years. they get away with this because most people do not drive their vehicles that much in seven years. All I wanted was a fair deal and did not get it. *nm

About april of 2005 my truck started shutting off while I was driving down the road. At this time it would restart automatically with no other problems. Took it in to the chevrolet dealership and they stated that the truck was missing a stall code and that they had updated it. In september it started to do it all over again, I had asked some mechanics I know about the problem and they said it sounded like an ignition problem. We started checking all ignition connections, fuses, grounds etc. It stopped for about a month and started doing it again. It has gotten to the point were it will shut off three and four times per trip. While myself and two other passengers were working in lugoff sc it shut off on us in the middle of a busy highway, nearly causing a major accident. I have taken it back to the chevrolet dealership and they stated that they did not know what the problem was and that if it did it again to call them and they would send a service tech out to look at it. I think this IS a major safety concern that gm needs to look into. *jb

In a letter dated november 7, 2007, general motors (gm) reported to the office of defects investigation (odi) that it will conduct a safety recall (07v-521) to replace the crank position sensor (ckp) in approximately 12,000 model year (my) 2001 chevrolet silverado and GMC sierra vehicles equipped with 8.1 liter engines manufactured on or before november 15, 2000.according to gm, the ckp can fail intermittently or permanently.a permanent ckp failure would result in an engine stall without restart.an intermittent ckp failure could cause the service engine soon light to illuminate, the vehicle to run rough or the engine to stall but allows restart.as a remedy, an improved ckp will be installed in the subject vehicles.the recall campaign will start in december 2007. During the preliminary evaluation (pe06-016), and this ea investigation, gm and odi independently conducted detailed reviews of certain field data to understand the nature and rate of subject vehicle stalling due to ckp failures.gm and odi reviewed gm's warranty claims for the ckp with the objective of ascertaining an estimate of those claims representing an engine stall while driving.the ckp warranty claims without verbatim text were the largest segment of warranty claims.using those claims, gm surveyed vehicle owners to gather additional information to determine if the claim was associated with a stall while driving event.based on the survey, gm estimated that approximately 49% of all warranty repairs for the ckp involved a stall while driving.odi?s review of gm's survey data produced a higher estimate (71%) for stall while driving.gm further estimated the rate of stall while driving for the subject vehicles over time.it estimated stalling while driving rates of 1.6%, 4.6% and 8.9% at 1, 3 and 6 years in service respectively.odi's review of the gm's survey data finds higher estimated stall while driving rates of 2.2%, 6.8% and 13% at 1, 3 and 6 years in service respectively. Odi also conducted a survey of vehicle owners using consumer complaints reported to both odi and gm.the objective was to ascertain the potential safety consequences of an engine stall due to the alleged defect.with respect to the ability to restart the vehicle after a stall, 11% reported immediate restart, 69% reported delayed restart and 20% reported no restart.over half noted at least one engine stall incident at speeds in excess of 40mph. About one-third noted the vehicle was stranded either partially or fully in a lane of traffic after the engine stall.all of the consumers surveyed noted multiple stalling events prior to proper diagnosis and replacement of the ckp.based on gm's decision to conduct a safety recall, this investigation IS closed.

The preliminary evaulation IS being upgraded.during the ea odi will limitits investigation to only those vehicles equipped with a hydro-boost system, which provides power assist to the braking and steering sytems.vaccuum brake booster vehicles are excluded.odi hasexpanded the scope of the ea to include model years2003 and 2004, asduring the pe, odi learned that the hydroboast pumps were modified in febraury 2004.therefore,odi has expanded the scope to include the additional model years.odi's IS concerned because thisisa sudden failure that affects two critical systems of the vehicle, brakes and steering, at the same time.the ability of the operator to handle the dual failures IS a concern. Further, these vehicles tend to be work vehicles, with some over 10,000 pounds gvwr and many equipped to pull large trailers.dual failures of heavily loaded vehicles and vehicles pulling trailers further increases the safety risk.odi plans to conduct testing to quantify the braking and steering performance degradation and the impact on safe vehicle control, when a hydroboast pump fails.
