Wheel problem #1

1) the driver door power windows,locks,and extended mirror buttons quit working,I can be driving down the road and I cant roll the windows down ,cant adjust my mirror and time that I stop to check the fuzes the door controls start working again. I try to lock the doors when I get out of the truck and nothing is working the pass. Side works fine,I took off the door panel and they start working but by the time I put the panel back on . There still work but come back out and they quit again. 2)something wrong with my steering I thought it was my powersteering pump and replaced it ,but there still something wrong I think it might be the steering box I have oil leaking somewhere around there 3)its my air conditioner and heater, I can have the air on I get nothing but hot air on the driver side and cold on the pass side. I can use the vent with air and its the same,just hot on the driver side. And not on the pass side. 4) I keep losing the GMC center cap on my factory wheels I keep the black lugnut covers tight but I lose another center cap, 5) GMC aluminum rims clear coating pilled off.

Wheel problem #2

Driving on interstate 85 tire blew due to highway road and faulty wheel hub, steering capability , suspension on the truck. It spilt the bumper and shattered mirror and hit my arm. I almost lost total control of the truck it did a lot of damage. The front ends on these trucks have been nothing but a headache to a lot of people. They don't last due to cheap parts I assume. Thanks for your time.

Wheel problem #3

I have a 2005 GMC Sierra 2500hd crew cab 4x4 with the 6. 0 engine and 5 speed manual transmission. Everytime I come to a slow stop the abs unit engages and reduces pedal pressure, causing the brake power to fade and increasing the distance of my stop.

Wheel problem #4

My 2005 GMC 2500 hd, has 154,000 miles now and I have had to change out the front hub bearings 3 times. I do not know why they keep going bad. My dealership tells me it is because I have a lift and oversized tires on truck, but all my trucks have had lifts and over sized tires and I have never had any problems like this before.

Wheel problem #5

There were no events leading up to the failure it just quick working correctly. The speedometer that is also problems with the front wheel bearing, as well as the daytime light on the front is always burning out.
