2007 GMC Sierra owner complaints

Received initial recall notice concerning defective airbag inflators - issued in 2016 - and the recall notice still hasn't been repaired. Manufacturers recall number is #2049151; and due to the lack of repair I'm worried that a front seat passenger will be injured.

Air bag light problems with the GMC trucks had a professional diagnose the problem. Scanner codes," system configuration error" this is a common problem for these trucks gm needs to address, in a accident the air bag will not deploy. *dt*jb

Cloth seats accumulate pollen and dust creating a potentially dangerous problem for people with breathing conditions - this problem is acknowledged by gm via a tsb numbered subject: excessive lint accumulation on cloth seats (replace seat covers) #07-08-50-018 - (08/28/2007) and then again with document id# 2023269. I know this typically does not qualify as a safety concern but the situation is relatively extreme to the point where after a while that using a vacuum cleaner is no longer effective for individuals with breathing problems. *tr

Dash board cracking!!! Have the slt/ltz interior. Dash has cracked, causing me a major issue with the safety of the vehicle. Sharp plastic could make my airbags not work properly.

Latch/lock on center console/jump seat failure. The plastic latch for the lid on the center console, which is also a jump seat when upright, has failed. The result is the lid can become open if the seat is tilted up to use as a jump seat, or if downward pressure is applied to the rear of the lid, or if you hit a bump or if you are in a crash. The contents of the compartment can be released and pose an imminent danger to the occupants of the vehicle in the result of a crash or otherwise become a distraction to the driver. The plastic latch is not available as a replacement part from GMC. The entire console must be purchased for $450 to replace latch and it has the same defective latch. *tr

Brakes failed, vehicle brought to a stop using 1st gear and parking brake, narrowly avoiding accident. Parked in parking lot and brake fluid drained to pavement. Dealer advises replacement of all brake lines as all are severely corroded (estimated cost - $2,400). Vehicle is exactly 5 years old with not many miles. Used in canada in the summer and florida in winter months. Only exposure to salt and snow is when encountered on trips to and from florida. Vehicle was undercoated at purchase. Very dangerous failure, most certainly must have been fatalities given the number of reports and could have been us yesterday or when towing 5th wheel rv. *kb

I purchased a brand new 2007 GMC sierra 1500 pickup from lone star Pontiac Buick GMC in mckinney, texas on 11/18/06. Only after being pulled over for speeding did I realize the speedometer was not calibrated correctly after the dealership had installed an after-market lift kit and large tires and wheels on this truck. I discovered by calling another gm dealer that because the speedometer is not calibrated correctly it causes the anti-lock brake system to not function properly. The dealership willfully and without regard to the safety of its customers sold vehicles like mine that had brake systems that did not work properly. The general manager confirmed that they have sold many trucks like this so it is reasonable to assume there are many trucks on the road now which may have faulty an

I own a 2007 GMC sierra 1500 crew cab. I have some issues when I start my truck in the mornings, I get a tapping noise as if there are lifters stuck or not getting sufficient oil. I have always used the recommended ac oil filters that I purchase from the local dealership parts center so I know that the filter is not the problem. I am a mechanic so I know what an engine is supposed to sound like. The noise will continue until the engine warms up which is approximately 10-15 minutes and is very annoying. I am currently deployed to kandahar, afghanistan in support of operation enduring freedom and schedule to return to the us in late march 2012. I spoke to my wife today and she said that every time she start the vehicle for the first time the noise is there. I would appreciate if you could an
