2002 GMC SIERRA 2500 Fuelpropulsion System Problems

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.

THE TUBULAR FRAME THAT SUPPORTS BOTH THE GAS TANK AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE SHOCK ABSORBER EXTREMELY RUSTS OUT CAUSING THE FRAME TO EVENTUALLY DISCONNECT FROM ITSELF AND ALLOW THE GAS TANK TO DROP AND/OR THE SHOCK TO DISCONNECT FROM THE AXLE, BOTH IN WHICH MAY CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT.

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

SMELLS GASOLINE EVERY TIME FILLED UP TANK. LOOKED FROM UNDER THE TRUCK AND SAW THE FUEL FILLER NECK IS RUSTED WITH A BIG CRACK THAT ALLOW GAS VAPOR TO ESCAPE. LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT 2003 GMC VANS HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

NOTICED SOMETHING LEAKING UNDER TRUCK IN FRONT OF FUEL TANK. FUEL LINE LEAKING AT CONNECTIONS ABOVE FUEL COOLER (LINES LOOK GOOD BUT ALL CONNECTIONS ARE BADLY RUSTED) DEALER WANTS $1,700.00 TO REPAIR, SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL. *TR
