I drive a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 4WD and love it. Bought it with over 60,000 miles on it, now it has over 234,500 miles on it. It has only had to be towed twice. First time was fuel system. The 2nd time was the waterpump- over a year later. Its been a great truck and I'm going to see if it can handle me beating on it until it hits 300,000 miles

Do you drive a 2000 GMC SIERRA?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
