Check engine light comes on in mid June 2010. . . Referred to owners manual which was possibly due to the exhaust filter. . . Owners manual stated specifics to clear which it did. Light appeared again and repeated owners manual procedures then scheduled appt at dealership to look at in which we received washer fluid recall at same time. Dealership repaired recall but could not duplicate reason for the "maintenance required light" issue. About a week later truck became hard to start. . . Glow plug indicator would not work and fuel began leaking from the fuel filter. Returned vehicle to dealership in which they found the fuel filter leaking and fuel sensor cracked in which they cannot find a replacement part and are doing a worldwide search. They also told us that our truck was not equipped with a glow plug indicator which we strongly advised that it was and verified with purchasing dealership. To date, the vehicle is still at the dealership and they have not been able to repair either issue. Advised that truck cannot be operated due to the fuel leakage.

18 Diesel Fuel System problem of the 2004 GMC Sierra 2500

Failure Date: 10/30/2008

Allison transmission housing failed at 54,000 miles. Gm paid parts, I paid 1,200. 00 labor , was told that there was 2 bulletins out on defective housing and when they finished repair they said they installed updated housing so I would not have problem again. Don't think I should have paid anything to have it repaired! at 105,000 miles transfer case failed , cost 1,150. 00 to repair, have had to take back 2 more times as repair was not done right. At 112. 000 miles speedometer became erratic was told it was a common problem ,and see on complaint search it is , consider this a great safety danger as I do not know what speed I'm going can only guess not fixed yet found some who sells rebuilt ones foe 150. 00 ,said their rebuilding them due the large number that are failing. Also at 112,000 miles park neutral switch started acting up ,check engine light on ,shift bar light goes away, truck won't shift properly and stay in certain gears without shifting up ,effects door locks. Looked up park neutral shift as part and came across bulletins stating that during left hand turn front tire sprays water onto park neutral ,switch causing problem ,needs front & rear shield installed to solve problem. Have taken truck back in waiting for information. Also around 90,000 miles had very hard time starting truck and truck ran poorly,problem became worse took in, fuel injectors were bad and were replaced under warranty at 112,000 miles no need to say I'm not a GMC fan anymore , even though I live in lansing mi ( a gm town)and have lots of friends and family employed there. Good by GMC! never again.

21 Diesel Fuel System problem of the 2004 GMC Sierra 2500

Failure Date: 07/26/2006

Diesel power keeps reducing. Truck has been to dealer twice. All maintenance is performed per owners manual, including fuel filters. Truck has been to dealer twice for this problem. I suspect injector failure or other fuel system problem. At 5000 miles the previous owner had a new injector pump replaced. I feel that this makes the vehicle unsafe to trailer with. I have trouble maintaining speeds on even the smallest of grades not towing much weight. I have contacted gm, which was less than helpful. Dealer insists that it needs the "throttle body cleaned", no throttle body on a diesel! truck is now going to a recommended, competent medium duty dealership.
