Engine Belts And Pulleys Problems of GMC Sierra 1500

I was driving from lufkin to hemphill at 70 mph. Something blew up, I thought something hit me. Engine died, brakes started, emergency lights came on, and seatbelt locked down, truck stopped, I got out to see what hit me. Nothing! when I got back in the truck a white powder (not smoke) was coming out of the seat belt on drivers side. When seat belt locked down I had to back seat up to get out of the belt. I was lucky that I did not hit someone.

I've had several problems with the truck since I bought it 3 months ago. I've fixed almost all of them-abs was activating which was pushing me into traffic nearly causing a wreck so I changed the abs speed sensor and hub assembly. Front suspension was gone so I replaced that; as well as steering parts, brakes, the parking brake doesn't work, fixing it next. Oil sending unit, a/c belt and refrigerant replaced. The problems left are evap emission vent valve solenoid, throttle pedal position sensor, and random/ multiple cylinder misfire sometimes and cylinder 4 misfire other times. In 4x4 when it gets under a load something sounds like it's binding up and it pops but it still works. When I shift into drive or reverse or accelerate from a stop it has a shift feeling in the rear with a thump sound. Sometimes I can push the gas and it won't downshift to speed up when I'm on the hwy but that's probably the tpps. I just want my 4x4 working and my shift thump from a stop to go away. Help. In 4x4 the noise happens in fwd reverse and when turning and worse in 4lo but happens in 4hi and auto but not in 2hi.

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Sierra 1500. While driving 15 mph, the brakes failed twice. The vehicle has been to the dealer approximately 15 times since it was purchased in August of 2007. The dealer turned the rotors and changed the brakes and the seat belt assembly. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The fuel gauge failed and the bed of the vehicle separated from the frame. The engine lifters failed to function properly as well. The failure mileage was 12,000 and current mileage was 12,100.

My problems really began soon after the warranty was over @ 36,000 miles. At 42,240 I had a fuel injector go out, at 55,590 miles I had a water pump, seal, and core nipples go bad, along with the idle arm assembly, and the main engine belt replaced. Again only 2 weeks later @ 58,275 miles I still had a coolant leak, and it was then determined the intake manifold had developed a leak, and the thermostat and seal needed to be replaced. The again only 2 days later I again experienced yet another problem, this time the altenator went out! I complained to the dealer, and to general motors, who currently looking into the matter. The dealer did aggree it is fairly rare to have these problems so soon, and general motors aggrees. However that does'nt ease my mind, that their may be a design, or parts problem with these vehicles. I did talk with another owner of the same type truck a 1992, same style and engine, and informed me that he had exactly the same type of problems occur at aprox: the same milage time frame, and had several more pop up with the transmission as well.
