  I OWN A 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 CREW CAB. I HAVE SOME ISSUES WHEN I START MY TRUCK IN THE MORNINGS, I GET A TAPPING NOISE AS IF THERE ARE LIFTERS STUCK OR NOT GETTING SUFFICIENT OIL.

I AM A MECHANIC SO I KNOW WHAT AN ENGINE IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE. THE NOISE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE ENGINE WARMS UP WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MINUTES AND IS VERY ANNOYING. I AM CURRENTLY DEPLOYED TO KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN IN SUPPORT OF OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM AND SCHEDULE TO RETURN TO THE US IN LATE MARCH 2012. I SPOKE TO MY WIFE TODAY AND SHE SAID THAT EVERY TIME SHE START THE VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE NOISE IS THERE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD ANSWER MY QUESTION CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. I LIKE THE TRUCK BUT THE ENGINE NOISE HAS TO GO. LIKE I SAID BEFORE I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC FOR OVER 30 YEARS ON CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT AND AUTOMOTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR THE US ARMY. PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO GIVE ME A SHORT ANSWER TO TRY TO GET RID OF ME, I KNOW BETTER. THE CRANKCASE IS FULL OF OIL TO THE CORRECT LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK AND I USE THE RECOMMENDED 5W30 OIL.

  I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 PICKUP FROM LONE STAR PONTIAC BUICK GMC IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS ON 11/18/06. ONLY AFTER BEING PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING DID I REALIZE THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT CALIBRATED CORRECTLY AFTER THE DEALERSHIP HAD INSTALLED AN AFTER-MARKET LIFT KIT AND LARGE TIRES AND WHEELS ON THIS TRUCK. I DISCOVERED BY CALLING ANOTHER GM DEALER THAT BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT CALIBRATED CORRECTLY IT CAUSES THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE DEALERSHIP WILLFULLY AND WITHOUT REGARD TO THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS SOLD VEHICLES LIKE MINE THAT HAD BRAKE SYSTEMS THAT DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE GENERAL MANAGER CONFIRMED THAT THEY HAVE SOLD MANY TRUCKS LIKE THIS SO IT IS REASONABLE TO ASSUME THERE ARE MANY TRUCKS ON THE ROAD NOW WHICH MAY HAVE FAULTY ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMS. I AM CONCERNED FOR EVERYONE ELSE THAT PURCHASED ONE OF THESE TRUCKS AND AREN'T AWARE THEIR BRAKES DON'T WORK RIGHT. THE GENERAL MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE SPEEDOMETERS CAN NOT BE CALIBRATED CORRECTLY. *JB

• 11/24/2009· STRUCTURE

  I HAVE A 2007 GMC SIERRA EXTENDED CAB Z71. THE TRUCK IS APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS OLD WITH 20000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN THE NORTHEAST FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFE. THE FRAME ON THE TRUCK FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR AS WELL AS MANY OF THE COMPONENTS UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK HAVE BECOME EXTREMELY RUSTED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MANY DEALERS AND THEY SAY THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE ROAD SALT AND SNOW/ICE THAT COMES WITH THE NORTHEAST WINTER. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, BUT I AM AFRAID THAT THIS RUST WILL LEAD TO CORROSION(ROT) AND SOMETHING MAJOR COULD HAPPEN TO THE VEHICLE AND OR MYSELF. SINCE THIS TRUCK IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS THIS ISSUE, IT IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE WITH AGE. *TR

  WHILE STOPPING AT SLOW SPEEDS ON DRY ROADS MY ABS BRAKES KICK IN CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO TAKE LONGER TO STOP THAN NORMAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL ALSO DROPS TOWARD THE FLOOR CAUSING ME TO THINK I HAVE LOST MY BRAKES COMPLETELY. THIS HAS JUST STARTED,AND HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES. I NEVER NOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN TO ME CAUSING ME TO BE ON EDGE EVERY TIME I HAVE TO STOP. I READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH GM TRUCKS AND WENT AND SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR YEARS. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON CERTAIN MODEL YEARS,BUT MY YEAR TRUCK WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I ASKED HIM HOW IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT GM WOULD LET THE SAME PROBLEM GO ON NEWER YEAR MODELS WHILE FIXING OTHERS? HE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW. I ASKED HIM HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST ME TO HAVE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FIX MY TRUCK. HE SAID IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT PARTS WERE NEEDED TO MAKE THE REPAIRS,AND COULD COST ME ANYWHERE FROM $150.00 TO $2,000.00. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW GM CAN GET AWAY WITH CHARGING SOME CUSTOMERS TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF UNDER RECALLS IN THE PAST. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME I COULD PULL THE FUSE ON MY ABS SYSTEM AND THE PROBLEM WOULD STOP,OF COURSE DOING THIS WOULD MEAN I WOULD NOT HAVE ABS BRAKES ANY LONGER, OR I COULD WAIT AND SEE IF MY MODEL YEAR MAKES THE RECALL LIST IN THE FUTURE. WHEN I PAY GOOD MONEY FOR A SAFETY ITEM ON MY TRUCK,I EXPECT IT TO LAST LONGER THAN 42,000 MILES,AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE AND DRIVE A TRUCK WITH UNSAFE BRAKES HOPING IT WILL BE PUT ON THE RECALL LIST IN THE FUTURE. THIS PROBLEM NOT ONLY MAKES MY TRUCK UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY,IT ALSO MAKES IT UNSAFE FOR EVERYONE NEAR IT AS I DRIVE DOWN THE STREETS,AND HIGHWAYS. PLEASE DON'T LET GM GET AWAY WITH LETTING THIS SAFETY PROBLEM GO UNFIXED JUST BECAUSE MY MODEL YEAR TRUCK IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR

WHEN I GOT THE TRUCK STOPPED AND GOT OUT, I FOUND THAT THE BRAKE FLUID WAS POURING OUT ONTO THE GROUND. A QUALIFIED MECHANIC INSPECTED THE TRUCK AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED THROUGH AND HAD RUPTURED.
