Three problems related to service brakes have been reported for the 2005 GMC Sierra. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I took my truck into fitzgerald auto mall, with whom I've had a great relationship, for some power steering issues. I was told that the brake system piping itself was rusting and would need to be replaced to the tune of $1600. 00. I researched this and found that this is a common issue with gm trucks and there hasn't been anything done about it. Gm has reduced the cost of the repair "kit" to $500, but who is going to install it? I have had many vehicles and lived in many states where salt is used on the road. I've never seen a vehicle that had so much damage because of it, especially a critical system like brakes. This should have been a recall years ago. I don't think the owners of these affected vehicles should have to pay to fix an engineering mistake. Gm should be liable and fix it for free. Thank you.
The contact owns a 2005 GMC Sierra 2500hd. The contact stated that when attempting to brake at low speeds, the front end would shake and the braking distance would increase. The contact also stated that the vehicle would pull toward the right when the failure occurred. An authorized dealer stated that this was a known failure, but this year, make and model was not recalled. The failure and current mileages were 72,000.
I have a 2005 GMC Sierra. While driving on dry roads and braking at low speeds the abs abnormally activates with out warrant. This only happens at low speeds and has almost caused me to have several accidents. I called the gm dealer to see if there is a recall on this and they told me there was not and I could bring it in to have it looked at and repaired at my expense. I see there are other complaints here at the NHTSA for the same thing. Searching the internet I found there are alot of people with the same problem and that gm has done a recall on 1999-2002 vehicles. I also found that gm knows they still have a problem with there abs because they have put out a TSB # 03-05-25-007d on it, and the NHTSA has it listed on there bulletin section. It is NHTSA bulletin #10004310.
