The contact owns a 2001 GMC Sierra 2500 hd. The contact stated that when traveling under 5 mph, the contact stated that the pedal began to pulsate. The anti-lock brake system activated and the vehicle failed to stop immediately. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The vehicle was not repaired.

I understand gm had a recall on the brake booster sytem and also a few years back a recall on replacing all the fuel injectors on the diesel engine ! I am oringinal owner at the same address when I purchased the vehicle new ! I missed the recalls because I never was notified ! its sad to buy a gm product and they don't alert me to a recall ! what's up with this?.

The contact owns a 2001 GMC Sierra 2500 hd. The vehicle was repaired per recall 05v379000 component: service brakes, hydraulic: antilock on October, 25, 2007; however, the failure recurred on August 19, 2009. While driving 45 mph, he noticed that the abs system activated without warning. The contact was required to pay $300 to have the vehicle repaired. Report 71-752849960 was filed with the manufacturer who confirmed that they would not assist with the repair because the vehicle was too old. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the current mileage was 45,100.

I use my truck to pull a 5th wheel camper. When I started to check it out this year, I noticed a funny shift pattern and a growl with temporary brake loss at approx. 4 mi. Pre hr or less. I took the truck in for repair and they sent me to a gm dealer to have the tcm reflashed. That fixed the shift harshness. After leaving dealership I noticed the growling again. It is not every time I apply the brakes, but I am afraid that I will end up loosing the brakes long enough to hit another vehicle. After doing extensive internet studies I found that this vehicle should be included in a recall that is for the exact same symptoms. I called 2 dealerships but was told that my VIN was not part of the recall. I was told that they were recalled because of defective parts used only on specific VIN numbered vehicles. I asked that if this is true then why is my part failing in the exact same manner if it is not defective. I was told by the service tech. That this was a good question and he would call gm to see if my truck qualified. Apparently not or I wouldn't be filing this. My research also showed another complaint exactly the same as mine on this site (November 10, 2006 odi id number : 10173313). Please let me know what to do from here.
