This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I noticed a strong odor of gas coming from under the truck. I only noticed the fuel leaking when the truck was on a downhill grade. I climbed under the truck to see where it was coming from. It turns out that the fuel leak is coming from the return line on the frame under where the fuel filter is attached. That section of the fuel line is totally corroded and fuel is slowly dripping from it. I am taking it to my mechanic tomorrow for repair. The brake line right above the fuel line is also severely corroded. GM really needs to recall and fix these issues due to these corroded fuel and brake lines. I will never buy another GM product again.
Severe corrosion of the brake lines became apparent during a sudden application of the brakes which caused multiple brake lines to rupture and leave the vehicle with no brakes since a line from the master cylinder to the ABS unit front left input and the ABS to the rear T line blew simultaneously. When removing the damaged brake lines they literally crumbled to pieces due to corrosion. During the repair to the brake lines severe corrosion was noted on the fuel lines also.
The fuel gauge and low fuel warning system on my 1999 GMC Sierra pickup has not worked for many months. I have been told by a service facility I trust, that this is a common problem, is costly to fix and most likely will fail again soon. They thought that this should be a recall issue.
