GMC 1500 Suspension Front Hub

GMC 1500 2002 Safety Review #10169037

GMC 1500 2002 car safety problem was reported on Sept 23, 2006.GMC 1500 2002, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB . I HAVE A 2002 GMC SIERRA 1500 EXTENDED CAB PICKUP WITH 52000 MILES ON IT. THE FRONT HUB BEARINGS ARE ALREADY REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. ON CONSULTING WITH THE LOCAL GARAGE, I DISCOVERED THIS WAS NOT AN ANOMALY, BUT , RATHER, A COMMON OCCURRENCE. MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE OVER THE YEARS WITH GM PRODUCTS IS THAT FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS COULD BE PACKED OR REPLACED AT REASONABLE COST, AND THE PARTS PROVIDED AUDIBLE NOTICE OF FAILURE. THE CURRENT DESIGN DOES NOT PROVIDE THIS SAFETY FEATURE. THE ENTIRE HUB MUST BE REPLACED WHEN IT FAILS. AT A COST JUST QUOTED OF JUST BELOW $450 PER WHEEL. THE UNFORTUNATE FACT IS THAT IT IS UNKNOWN HOW MANY OWNERS OF GM PRODUCTS FROM 1998 ONWARD ARE DRIVING WITH WHEEL HUBS THAT ARE SO WORN THAT A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE COULD CAUSE LOSS OF A WHEEL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.. UNTIL THE RESOLUTION OF THIS DESIGN SHORTFALL, HIGHWAY DRIVING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *NM.Mileage was 52000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2GTEC19V821. Gmc 1500 2002 problem was reported in AUSTIN, TX. Original Owner. Vehicle was using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.Vehicle was using Cruise Control.Vehicle had 8 CYLINDERS. Gmc 1500 2002 drive type:RWD.

THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT I COULD PULL THE FUSE ON THE ABS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD PERFORM STOPPING WITHOUT THE AID OF ABS AND WOULD STOP NORMALLY IN DRY ENVIRONMENT, WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF ANTI LOCK BRAKES. I FEEL THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM AND IS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2002 GMC SIERRA SLE 1500 EXTENDED CAB PICK UP. I HAD THE TRUCK ON RAMPS. WHEN I BACKED OFF OF THE RAMPS, I HAD TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. SERVICE AND PARKING BRAKES. I COULD NOT STOP OR EVEN SLOW DOWN. THE TRUCK PROCEEDED DOWN A HILL BACKWARDS AND INTO A DITCH. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I IMMEDIATELY PUSHED THE PARKING BRAKE TO THE FLOOR. NO BRAKES AT ALL. AFTER FARTHER INVESTIGATION, FOUND THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINE THAT RUNS ALONG THE FRAME RAIL TO THE BACK BRAKES COMPLETELY CORRODED AND ALL FLUID LEAKING OUT. BRAKE LINE ALMOST CORRODED INTO TWO PIECES. THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES HAVE WORN DOWN TO METAL ON THE BACK OF THE SHOE. THIS IS THE SECOND SET OF PARKING BRAKE SHOES I HAVE REPLACED IN 70,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND THESE TWO ISSUES SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO THE CORRODING BRAKE LINES AND A RECALL ON PARKING BRAKES, BUT ONLY ON STANDARD TRANSMISSION VEHICLES. MINE IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. HOW MANY MORE DAMAGED VEHICLES AND INJURIES OR DEATHS DOES IT TAKE FOR THE INVESTIGATION TO TURN INTO A RECALL? *TR.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 95000 miles.

I HIT THE BRAKES, HARD, AND AFTER A MOMENTARY FEELING OF BRAKE PRESSURE, THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKES WHATSOEVER. I BACKED UP INTO MY DRIVEWAY, JACKED UP THE TRUCK AND PLACED IT ON JACK STANDS. THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK WAS WET AND DRIPPING BRAKE FLUID AROUND THE ABS UNIT BENEATH THE CAB. MY WIFE APPLIED THE BRAKE WHILE I EXAMINED THE UNDERSIDE. AN APPROX. 1/8IN HOLE WAS FOUND IN THE INCREDIBLY RUSTY AND WEAK STEEL LINE RUNNING FROM THE ABS TO THE LEFT FRONT WHERE IT JOINS THE RUBBER LINE TO THE L/F CALIPER. FURTHER EXAMINATION REVEALS ALL STEEL BRAKE LINES ARE INCREDIBLY RUSTY, STRUCTURALLY WEAK AND IN DANGER OF FAILURE. THIS COULD LEAD TO A VERY SERIOUS, CATASTROPHIC CRASH WITH THE POTENTIAL OF FATALITIES. FURTHER, ALL OF THE STEEL PARTS OF THE FUEL LINES ARE ALSO VERY, VERY RUSTY AND WEAK AND WITH THE HIGH INTERNAL PRESSURES AND HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE GASOLINE INSIDE ARE ANOTHER SERIOUS HAZARD.
