What Owners Say
"typical low quality GM front end parts"
Anonymous, ME (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 WT 5.3-L V8)"Ball joints worn out way before their time"
Rudolph H., RI (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE 5.3-L V8)"Replaced then after 4 months needed replacing again"
Anonymous, ON (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 WT 4.8-L V8)"The ball joints were replaced at the same time as the brakes. Again, I didn't feel that replacing the ball joints at 94000 km was too bad given that I drive the truck on some very rough roads"
Anonymous, ON (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE 5.3-L V8)"Have had to replace hoses about 3 times"
Anonymous, NT (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 4.8-L V8)"noticed evidence of leak 3 years ago. Check frequently and a add fluid as necessary, probably twice a year. Problem has not been repaired."
Anonymous, (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 5.3-L V8)"Hose was leaking and was replaced."
Walter D., SK (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE 5.3-L V8)"Broken front torsion retaining bars, repaired"
Anonymous, BC (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 5.3-L V8)"Rear left leaf spring broke, spread apart and rubbed inner sidewall, vehicle never overloaded and as for as I am concern it should not have broken and of course not covered by power train warranty"
Anonymous, MB (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 SL 4.8-L V8)"Rear spring hangers and shock absorders had bolts not torqued properly. This caused the lot of noise when driving over rough ground. Dealer could not or would not fix this. Took to independent shop and was fixed in hour. No more problem"
David S., NS (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 WT 4.8-L V8)"rear leaf springs slap and cause rear to bounce sideways when encounter a bump, even after replacing shock absorbers"
Anonymous, (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 5.3-L V8)"When I had the 100,000 mile check up , a tie rod was found that had to be replaced"
Anonymous, GA (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 5.3-L V8)"Same problem"
Anonymous, BC (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 5.3-L V8)"caused by the repair to the ball joints. It needed an alignment"
Anonymous, ME (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 WT 5.3-L V8)"As a 4 X 4, that very seldom used the 4 X 4, I was amazed to replace the entire wheel assembly with less than 70 k miles. All service has been preformed and dealer twice check the front end during warranty. Went out 9 months out of warranty. I have had far more issues with this GMC than my '98 I drove to 200K. Will shop another brand next time"
Charles E., TX (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 6.2-L V8)"Just became loose at about 95000"
Anonymous, AR (2011 GMC Sierra 1500 WT 4.8-L V8)"Wheel bearing failure caused the anti-lock system to stop working and disabled the vehicle."

"ball joints developed too much play and needed to be replaced. Very expensive repair"
