general problems of the 2006 GMC Sierra 2500

While towing my trailer I lost most of my braking capacity. I had to use the trailer breaking mechanism to stop the truck. There was no crash or injuries.

While braking at low speeds and coming to a full stop, truck lurches forward and brake pedal goes down 1/8 of an inch. Driver must use more brake to stop truck ( this is with no load in truck at all, only passenger ). Also while stopped and turning the wheel left or right to park, steering wheel looses power steering until brake is released and truck starts rolling. Had truck looked at twice before at dealer for same problem ( once at 32,000 and again at 35,000 ) and was told, as long as no hard codes or failures are found, they were unable to address the issue.

I was backing out of my driveway (down hill slope) and lost power steering and braking in my 2006 GMC 2500hd diesel truck. I put the transmission in neutral and deployed the emergency brake to stop. The mechanic determined the power steering pump had failed and this resulted in the hydro boost failure with subsequent brake loss. After replacing the power steering pump the power steering lines split two weeks later. ## VIN passed ## GMC Sierra 2500 hd 2006 ##.

I have a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 hd with 32000 miles. I have had to replace the brakes and rotors twice because they have rusted and rotted away. I have had to replace my exhaust because of rust and the entire under carriage and frame are heavily rusted. I have just recently noticed that there is even rust inside the cab, interior doors, chrome is bubbling.

: the contact stated the vehicle's hydroboost was too small for the truck and made too much noise when the brakes or steering were used. The dealer determined the vehicle has no problems, but the contact expressed there will be difficulty doing towing work particularly going uphill and downhill. The vehicle is only two months old and has been demonstrating this problem since the beginning of the second month.
