Consumer states based on the description in the owners manual, even if properly armed by following the instructions, the content theft - deterrent alarm system will only sound if the vehicle door is opened from within the vehicle after the manual lock has been utilized from the inside. Consumer feels that access has already been gained to the interior and therefore it is not necessary to unlock the manual lock, or open the door to steal the contents, thereby bypassing the alarm system altogether.
2000 GMC Sierra steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 28 of 28, newest first, as owners wrote them.
It greatly concerns me that a failure in the power steering shaft occurs especially when it's happening to other people with the same truck. I have also had the steering shaft replaced 3 times. Are they just waiting for someone to get killed?
Consumer started vehicle up and turned wheels to go, and the wheels would not turn. Also, brakes went out. Brake was pressed down, and steering was very hard to steer. Power steering pump and serpentine belt were replaced. Shaft broke internally.*ak
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Clamp came off a hose while driving at approximately 35mph, causing power steering fluid to leak, resulting in loss of power steering and brakes.
This failed once before and have only gone 5000 miles since it was fixed and it has failed again. This is very disturbing. No safety defect.
Brakes seem to sputter when depressed heavy/light @ any speed. This problem still continues. General tire brand-rear right tire blew out the side wall on freeway @ 75mph-ran over nothing. Right rear tire was replace @ no cost, due to failure. Problem has not accured yet. Steering wheel always feels loose-has been checked and service claimed "there is no problem". Also mother-in-law has a 2000 4dr ext. Cab with the same brake problems among a few others including AC vents smelling ect. Service has checked and replaced few brake parts(2 times) and problem still accures. All of these problems presist and are a major safety problem to my family and I. We would really like to see these problems fixed before any injuries accure!!!!!
Power steering pump shaft broke, causing loss of steering and inability to control vehicle. *ak the faulty circuit cluster in the dashboard caused all guages to fail. The vehicle experiences noise in the front end.
