BRAKE LINES, TRANSMISSION LINES AND ENGINE COOLANT LINES ALL FAILING ON 2003 GMC 2500 HD SIERRA AS WELL AS ON 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO HD 3500. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE CAUSED NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF TIME TO REPAIR AND REPLACE, AND TODAY THERE WAS A CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE ON THE 2003 HD GMC WHICH ALMOST RESULTED IN A DEADLY ACCIDENT. THESE LINES SHOULD NOT HAVE RUSTED THEY WAY THEY ARE ESPECIALLY ON TWO (2) DIFFERENT VEHICLES FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER. THESE VEHICLES WERE PRODUCED WITH INADEQUATE PARTS FOR ALL LINES ON THE UNDERSIDE OF VEHICLE. THERE SHOULD NOT BE 1,000 PLUS COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS REGARDING THE RUSTING OF THESE COMPONENTS, OF WHICH HAVE CAUSED SEVERAL MAJOR AND LIFE SAFE

I HAVE A 2003 GMC SIERRA 4WD TRUCK AND THE SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER IS BAD. I SEE THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTER ERRATICALLY AND SOMETIMES STAYS ON 0 MPH WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HERE THE FUEL GAUGE IS NEXT TO GO BAD. THESE TWO PROBLEMS TOGETHER ON A BUSY HIGHWAY CAN AND WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS WHERE SOMEONE WILL GET HURT OR KILLED. GM HAS AGREED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES WITH UNDER 70,000 MILES AND 5 YRS. OLD. THIS DOES NOTHING TO THIS SAFETY PROBLEM BUT LOWER THE ODDS A LITTLE BIT. WHAT ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE BALANCE OF OWNERS OF THE REMAINING VEHICLES AND EVERY PERSON ON US HIGHWAYS? DOESN'T ANYONE CARE? PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY PROBLEM

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE IN 2003 GMC SIERRA, I FEEL THAT THIS TYPE OF FAILURE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFTEY DEFECT AND BE COVERED BY THE GM CORP. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH THE CORP FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS TO COVER THIS IT WAS A DEFECTIVE STEPPER MOTOR IN ALL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS AND THE PART NUMBER WAS XC5-168 THE NEW PART NUMBER IS X25-168 WHY WAS THIS NEVER CONSIDERED A SAFTEY RECALL, IS THE SPEEDOMETER NOT CONSIDERED PART OF THE SAFETY RECALLS ON OUR ROADWAYS? THE FACT THAT I CAN DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT "ACCORDING TO MY SPEEDOMETER" AT 120 MPH AND CARS ARE PASSING ME, OR THE FACT THAT I MIGHT BE DOING ONLY 30MPH IN THE SAME SITUATION, IS THIS NOT CONSIDERED PART OF A SAFTEY RECALL? IT I

I PURCHASED A 2003 GMC SONOMA FOR MY SON, IN JULY OF 2003 AND WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. WE WERE TOLD YESTERDAY WE NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND WAS QUOTED A PRICE FROM $1,500.00-$2,500.00. WE ARE GOING TO PAY IT BECAUSE WE STILL ARE PAYING A PAYMENT ON IT AND CANNOT AFFORD TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY QUESTION IS ISN'T GENERAL MOTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRODUCTS THEY SELL. I DO NOT HAVE AN AMERICAN VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE TO BUY AMERICAN BUT THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. *JB
