2002 GMC Sierra Suspension Problems

“On 01 nov, I was pulling into a parking spot when my brakes totally failed causing me to crash into a parked car. I was entering the parking spot below 5 MPH when the brakes failed. I dropped my truck off at a repair center on 03 nov and they informed me that both the left front hub bearing was shot and the anti-lock brakes sensor was shot. Both items were replaced.”

“This is an old incident; however, until just recently, I did not realize there was a website such as yours. Also, I am reporting a specific incident, but also want to include other general information. The incident which occurred was related to my brake fluid lines rusting completely through while I was driving down the road with my two small grandchildren. When a vehicle stopped in front of me, I pushed on my brakes only to find I could not stop. Fortunately, there was a field on the right side of the road and I drove into it, rather than hitting the vehicle. …”

“Front suspension/ steering 'rattles' excessively when in a turn and road rough to the point I must accommodate it in how I driven turns. The rattle almost goes away after the front suspension is lubed but is back in about 500 miles of driving.”

“Rear axle unstable when cornering over moderate bumps. Loses lateral traction. Dealer failed to make a genuine effort to replicate the problem. I replaced rear shocks at my own expense, problem was reduced but not eliminated.”

“There is rattle/vibration in my truck's steering column. Any time I go over an uneven surface I hear an annoying rattle coming from under the hood in front the steering wheel, and I feel a consistent vibration in the steering wheel. This rattle started with about 35,000 miles on the vehicle, just in time for the warranty to expire. My truck now has 60,000 miles on it with the same annoying problem. My dealer keeps telling me there is probably going to be a recall on it, so I don't want to pay to repair it (whatever may be wrong with it).”
