2000 GMC Sierra SLE review from North America
"I will never buy another GM product"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Fuel Pressure Regulator was faulty.
- Faulty Alternators (I'm on the third one now)
- Fuel Level Gauge quit working.
- ABS kicks in on the slightest bumps.
- Heater quit working (bad heater core)
- Dash rattles horribly.
- Transmission starting to very loudly and violently downshift.
- An electrical short in a wiring harness kept draining the battery leaving me stranded.
- Seats are comfy plush for quick trips, but not comfortable on long trips.
- Numerous recalls.
General comments?
This is the absolute worst car I've ever owned. It will traded in very shortly for a new Toyota Tacoma.
I'm amazed at how many problems I've had with this vehicle. I've always owned foreign vehicles before this, but I wanted to "buy American" this time. Wow, what a mistake... never again.
