Known Recall Investigations
  • Hydraulic pump failres investigation # EA04012

    Gm is conducting a recall on all subject vehicles build between may 1999 and october 14, 1999.Significant changes were incorporated into production in early october 1999, and vehicles built after that date have lower warranty failure rates.The complaint and warranty data appear to support the effectiveness of these changes. Gm made additional changes in november 1999, february 2000, may 2001, and february 2004.Odi will continue to monitor this problem and will take further action, if warranted, in the future.For further technical details see the attached engineering analysis report.

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 gmc savana 2500. The contact stated that the brake lines failed without warning. The vehicle was further inspected and it was noticed that there was extensive rust and corrosion prematurely and the brake lines fractured. While traveling approximately 40 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floor and the brake fluid ruptured excessively due to the failure of the brake lines. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop who replaced all of the brake lines. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 165,000.

S10 direct reply- letter to the secretary from constituent re requesting assistance with the recall of a 2012 general motors vehicle. *smd the consumer stated in march 2015, he received an information letter, not a recall that the brake line may fail due to inadequate clearance. After visiting the gmc dealer, the consumer was informed there were no problem indicators at that time and the part would not be replaced until it failed. On august 19, 2015, while driving on a steep mountain road with an 8% grade, the brakes failed. By using the transmission to assist in braking, the consumer was able to drive the van to a flat area before an accident occurred. All the brake fluid leaked from the reservoir and fluid splashed on the under carriage due to brake line failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The consumer was informed it would take 6-8 days to get the redesigned part. The brake line had a hole in it because it was installed in a known area of inadequate clearance. *jb

The nhtsa issued a recall on 2001 chevy silverados with 8.1l engines due a intermittent crankshaft position sensor failure causing the truck to stall while driving. (see recall id# 53021). I own a 2002 gmc savanna 3500 van with a 8.1l engine (the van was factory ordered by us in aug 2001) that has exhibited the same stalling failures for more than 6 months. The van has stalled multiple times at speeds in exceeds of 40 mph. After bringing the van to the dealer for service on 3/26/08 (and they finding nothing wrong with it), i have logged the failure events since then. The van is not heavily used (it has just over 42000 miles -- which equates to about 500 miles/mo.): 5/22/08 stalled while decelerating to stoplight 5/23/08 difficulty starting 5/25/08 stalled while coasting @ 30 mph 6/4/08 stalled while driving (my wife did not record the mph) 6/22/08 stalled at 35 mph 6/29/08 stalled at stoplight 7/9/08 stalled turning into parking lot 7/13/08 stalled at 5 mph (just prior to a turn) 7/20/08 stalled at 45 mph 8/8/08 stalled at 40 mph 8/23/08 trouble starting i brought the van into the dealer on 8/26/08 and had them perform the same work as indicated by the silverado recall. I have purposely driven over 200 miles after this and no failures have occurred. My question (and complaint) is why was the recall for the 8.1l engines not extended to gmc savannas equipped with 8.1l engines? Having a van lose all power at speed is a dangerous condition and i believe it is imperative to expand the recall to all 8.1l engines built in the 2001 timeframe (even in 2002 models). Thank you for your attention *tr

My complaint is of the passenger side portside door hinges on almost all gmc savanah 3500's that i have seen. It is a saftey concern for me because the door is almost completely detached from the vehicle and is inoperable. I have lubricated the hinges many time to no avail. The welds on the hinges are badly cracked with just a very small part of the weld(aprox. 1/4") holding the door on. The door will no longer close completely. I know of many other vans from the same model year have this same problem. One of my close friends and his son both have the same exact van; we bought them at the same time. They have identical problems with their hinges. I hope that you look into this further, i think it may be a rampant problem, and i definitely feel it is a major saftey concern. Lastly, i would very much appreciate a response email. Thank you. Sincerely, jim merkel
