2000 GMC Sierra SLT review from North America
"Get the extended warranty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In the last four and one half years my.
Sierra has had the following problems:
1. Driver side seat cushion is.
Worn and torn. The rest of the.
Leather interior is fine.
2. Back passenger window seal.
Leaks air when closed.
3. The air cleaner indicator.
That is located under the hood can.
No longer be reset.
4. The hood release latch in.
The interior of the cab is broken.
5. The climate control fan.
Inside the cab does not work.
6. Passenger side seatbelt.
Stays "tight" once the vehicle.
Moves.
7. There are lights on the.
Instrument panel that are not.
Working. The lights on the radio.
Buttons 2, 5, Tape/Aux and AM/FM;
The right side light of the.
Cassette chamber; the buttons of.
The instrument panel that designate.
The fresh air, re-circulated air.
And the AC; the window controls and.
The power lock control on the.
Driver side door.
8. The truck's higher pitch.
Horn no longer works.
9. All the gears in the differential.
Had to be replaced at 39,000 miles.
General comments?
General Motors was willing to replace the parts of the differential, but I had to pay for the labor to the dealer, which came out to about $400.00.
The remainder of the "problems" are my responsibility because of the mileage of the vehicle at the time of "malfunction".
With the exception of the above mentioned items, the vehicle has worked well. At this time, I'm thankful I haven't had any other "major" engine or drive train problems.
