BRAKE LINES, TRANSMISSION LINES AND ENGINE COOLANT LINES ALL FAILING ON 2003 GMC 2500 HD SIERRA AS WELL AS ON 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO HD 3500. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE CAUSED NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF TIME TO REPAIR AND REPLACE, AND TODAY THERE WAS A CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE ON THE 2003 HD GMC WHICH ALMOST RESULTED IN A DEADLY ACCIDENT. THESE LINES SHOULD NOT HAVE RUSTED THEY WAY THEY ARE ESPECIALLY ON TWO (2) DIFFERENT VEHICLES FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER. THESE VEHICLES WERE PRODUCED WITH INADEQUATE PARTS FOR ALL LINES ON THE UNDERSIDE OF VEHICLE. THERE SHOULD NOT BE 1,000 PLUS COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS REGARDING THE RUSTING OF THESE COMPONENTS, OF WHICH HAVE CAUSED SEVERAL MAJOR AND LIFE SAFETY ISSUES. THE BRAKE LINES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF ANY VEHICLE AND TO HAVE THEM RUST THRU TO THE DEGREE OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPONENT THE MANUFACTURER INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES.

I HAVE A 2003 GMC SIERRA 4WD TRUCK AND THE SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER IS BAD. I SEE THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTER ERRATICALLY AND SOMETIMES STAYS ON 0 MPH WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HERE THE FUEL GAUGE IS NEXT TO GO BAD. THESE TWO PROBLEMS TOGETHER ON A BUSY HIGHWAY CAN AND WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS WHERE SOMEONE WILL GET HURT OR KILLED. GM HAS AGREED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES WITH UNDER 70,000 MILES AND 5 YRS. OLD. THIS DOES NOTHING TO THIS SAFETY PROBLEM BUT LOWER THE ODDS A LITTLE BIT. WHAT ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE BALANCE OF OWNERS OF THE REMAINING VEHICLES AND EVERY PERSON ON US HIGHWAYS? DOESN'T ANYONE CARE? PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY PROBLEM FOR IT HAPPENS ALL OF THE SUDDEN. THIS FAILURE HAPPENS AND THEN IT WORKS FINE OFF AND ON OR IT JUST TOTALLY FAILS ALL AT ONCE. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING WHICH AFFECTS PUBLIC SAFETY AND RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ON A SNOW COVERED OR DRY FREEWAY OR RTE. AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK CAN DEFINITELY CAUSE ACCIDENTS. PEOPLE HAVE NO CLUE WHEN OR WHERE THESE PROBLEMS WILL OCCUR. I HOPE THAT YOU ARE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM ON THE ROADS WITH MORE THAN 70,000 MILES AND OLDER THAN 5YEARS. I AM A CERTIFIED AUTOMOTIVE MECHANIC AND HAVE BEEN FOR 30 YEARS. WHAT SCARES ME IS THE OLDER THE VEHICLE THE MORE CHANCE OF HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINES FAILING FROM RUST AND NOT KNOWING IF THEY ARE DRIVING TOO FAST FOR CONDITIONS WITH A BRAKE LINE FAILURE IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF NOT ALREADY. PLEASE PROTECT EVERYONE AND YOURSELF FROM GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION'S SHOTTY RECALL. *TR
