GMC C1500 2001 Safety Review #10243960

GMC C1500 2001 car safety problem was reported on Sept 09, 2008.GMC C1500 2001, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . I BOUGHT A GMC SIERRA C-1500 PICKUP TRUCK, NEW IN 2001. IN SEPT '05, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON & A HUMMING NOISE COULD BE HEARD EVEN AFTER THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. THE ODOMETER WAS AT 50,000 MILES, AT THAT TIME. THE PROBLEM WAS THE EBCM SHORTED-OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOW, 31,000 MILES & 3 YEARS LATER (81,000 TOTAL MILES), IT SHORTED-OUT AGAIN & NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST OF THIS PART ALONE IS $1,000.00 (+ OVER $200.00 INSTALLATION). THAT PART ISN'T EVEN SUBJECTED TO NORMAL ¿WEAR & TEAR¿ LIKE BRAKES, BECAUSE IT¿S NOT A MOVING PART. IT¿S A COMPUTER MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, THAT IS VITAL IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BRAKING, WHICH LUCKILY I HAVEN¿T NEEDED TO USE. I DON¿T KNOW IF THE EBCM (PART) IS DEFECTIVE ITSELF OR IF SOMETHING ELSE IS CAUSING IT TO SHORT OUT, BUT I DON'T THINK THIS PART SHOULD FAIL, THIS OFTEN. REQUIRING A THIRD EBCM IN 7 YEARS, IN MY OPINION, IS UNACCEPTABLE. I¿VE CONTACTED GMC & I DON¿T THINK I RECEIVED A LEGITIMATE REASON FOR THE FAILURE OF THE PART¿JUST A POOR EXCUSE. HIS REASONING WAS THAT MY VEHICLE IS 7 YEARS OLD & HAS 81,000 MILES, THAT IT¿S ACCEPTABLE FOR A COMPUTER MODULE, WHICH CONTROLS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES (A SAFETY ISSUE), TO MALFUNCTION & NEED REPLACING TWICE. THAT ¿REASON¿ WAS TOTALLY ABSURD IN MY OPINION. MILEAGE SHOULDN'T COME INTO PLAY BECAUSE IT¿S AN ELECTRONIC PART NOT A MOVING PART. IF THEY WANT TO JUSTIFY IT BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS 7 YEARS OLD¿.IT WAS THE PART THAT FAILED, NOT THE TRUCK & IT WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 31,000 MILES HAD BEEN ADDED, WHEN IT SHORTED-OUT AGAIN! SO, THEY SHOULDN¿T EVEN BE TALKING ABOUT THE VEHICLE ITSELF¿JUST THE FAULTY PART WHICH HAPPENS TO CONTROL A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE! *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 50000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2GTEC19T511. Gmc C1500 2001 problem was reported in WINDSOR, CT. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 0 mph.
