DISC ROTOR DELAMINATION, ANTI-LOCK CONTROL. I WAS PULLING A 3/4 TON VAN STUCK IN HIS YARD, AS I GOT HIM CLOSE TO THE HARD SURFACE ( DRIVEWAY) I PUT ON THE BRAKES AND THE TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP, IT HIT THE CORNER OF HIS BLOCK HOUSE. NO DAMAGE TO THE HOUSE HOWEVER I HAD TO REPLACE ALL BUT HOOD AND ONE HEADLIGHT ASSY. 10 MPH AND NEITHER BAG DEPLOYED. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY OWN STUPIDITY UNTIL READING ALL THE ISSUES ON HERE W/ GM'S BRAKING PROBLEMS. I FEEL A BIT BETTER ABOUT MYSELF. THE BIG ISSUE !! ALL FOUR ROTORS DELAMINATED W/ 46,000 MILES THIS IS THE 1ST NEW TRUCK I'VE OWNED AND BELIEVE ME IT'S BEEN BABIED FOR SURE. I WAS TOLD BY MY SERVICE DEALER THERE WAS NOTHING GM WOULD DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IT WAS MY PROBLEM FOR NOT DRIVING IT AS MUCH AS I SHOULD (B.S.)...
A GMC SERVICE MANAGER CONVEYED TO ME THAT SEVERAL GM TRUCK OWNERS HAVE REPORTED EXCESSIVE WEAR TO THE STEERING SHAFT LEADING THROUGH THE FIREWALL. WEAR AT A U JOINT OCCURS AROUND 15,000 TO 25,000 MILES DUE TO EXCESSIVE TORQUE ON THE JOINT, AS EXPLAINED TO ME BY A GM SERVICE MANAGER. GM HAS RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM BY PROVIDING A NEW STEERING ROD. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT KEPT THE OLD PART. HOPEFULLY THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM. THIS FIX CAME AT A COST OF $180.00 TO ME. THIS COST, I BELIEVE, SHOULD BE BORN BY GM. IF THE STEERING ROD IS LEFT UNREPLACED, COULD LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL RESULT FOR THESE VEHICLES OVER TIME? I OWN A 2001 GMC SIERRA 2500HD, 6 LITER, V8.*AK
