Sierra 6-cyl

  • 47,000 miles
I have a 2005 GMC Sierra. While driving on dry roads and braking at low speeds the ABS abnormally activates with out warrant. This only happens at low speeds and has almost caused me to have several accidents. I called the GM dealer to see if there is a recall on this and they told me there was not and I could bring it in to have it looked at and repaired at my expense. I see there are other complaints here at the NHTSA for the same thing. Searching the internet I found there are alot of people with the same problem and that GM has done a recall on 1999-2002 vehicles. I also found that GM knows they still have a problem with there ABS because they have put out a tsb # 03-05-25-007D on it, and the NHTSA has it listed on there bulletin section. It is NHTSA bulletin #10004310.

Sierra 4WD

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles
: the contact stated that there were problems with the break pads, rotors, shoes, and drums. At only 30,000 miles, the vehicle was taken to the dealer for repairs on 5 occassion to grind down the brakes and rotors. None of the repairs fixed the problem. The first time the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the problem was at 20,000 miles. The contact expressed concerns that the vehicle should not need this many repairs at this mileage. There were no incidents prior to this problem that caused the brakes to go bad.
