Example complaints
Brakes: “Was moving truck into drive way after it had been parked in the street. Upon pulling into the drive way I noticed I had no brakes. Turned truck off and checked under truck to find that there was brake fluid leaking from under the truck by the left rear wheel. Upon calling my mechanic I am told that this is a normal thing with my year truck and that it was being investigated by the NHTSA because of the amount of complaints. …”
NHTSA complaint #10476710, filed 2012-09, 102,000 milesAir bags: “I was involved in a head on collision with another vehicle, a larger gmc dually. I was traveling at 55 MPH when the other vehicle entered my lane at near or equal speed and struck me head on. I had time to react by stomping the brakes but I seemed to not slow down. I had no where to turn all possible lanes of avoidance were blocked with smaller cars. The airbags did not deploy... It is my understanding that by law cars/light trucks are required by law to have airbags if they are 1998 or newer. I understand a light truck to be up to 8,600 lbs gross weight with payload. …”
NHTSA complaint #10633791, filed 2014-09, 102,000 milesFuel system: “The fuel gauge on my 2000 silverado does not work. Evidently, there is a problem with the sensor in the tank reacting to the additives in the gasoline. This braks the sensor down and causes the fuel filter to clog and to make the pump work harder and fail. I know of 5 or 6 people in my circle of friends and co-workers who have experienced this problem. I appreciate any help, like I said I know of quite few people with this problem who would love to take GM down on this. Please contact me with any info, thanks again, bob. Damage resulting = huge cost, over $700.00 at a GM dealer. …”
