Power Steering Fluid Problems of GMC Sierra

Power steering gear box leaks oil out of front adjustment nut seal. After three replacement gear boxes it still continually leaks. The last attempted fix by a GMC dealer ended with power steering spraying all over everything under hood including exhaust which is a significant fire hazard. Also, when fluid level gets low steering is significantly hindered.

Truck with a full-size camper was parked for less than 5 min. Before it blew up and burned up. North american technical & forensic serivces examined the truck and determined that the cause was a powersteering fluid leak in the left front engine compartment at the powersteering fluid line or line connections. After the fire, I contacted gm regarding the incident and asked if they had any record of this type of fire and they said no. However, in checking the recalls, there was a recall for powersteering leakage. Gm then filed bankruptcy.

After driving through 12 inces of snow for aprox. 100 feet, a thumping noise started in the front left wheel area. Two mechanics checked it and said it was nothing. After 2 months the front drive shaft failed, was replaced and the sound stopped. Shortly after we started having trouble stopping at slow speeds, the abs would kick the pedal up, and the stopping distance at 10 mph became 50 -100 ft. Wheel sensor bearing was replaced at a cost of over $800. The drivers side rear window leaks air, the door weatherstriping on both sides fall off on a regular basis. The gas guage sometimes reads empty when the tank is just filled, and sometimes bounces from place to place. The drivers side pwr window regulator failed and pulled the glass out of the track. Pwr mirror switch failed cannot adjust mirrors except to the left and up. Daytime running lights blow bulbs constantly. Tires have strange wear, one lug high, one lug low, all four tires, properly inflated. Back door doesn't latch in cold weather, drivers door latch froze open this winter. Washer fluid switch only works when pushed "beyond normal" position. Rear vents in console won't close. And the whole truck vibrates violently at speeds above 55 mph hard to hold on, have to slow down and pull toward side of road to avoid accident. Happens many times per day.
