INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MULTIPLE CRACKS IN DASH - BY AIRBAG AND ABOVE INSTRUMENT CONSOLE.

DASH ALL OF A SUDDEN DEVELOPED CRACK ABOVE THE LEFT CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND ABOVE THE DRIVER GAUGE PANEL. THIS IS IDENTICAL TO THE STORIES I AM READING ABOUT OTHER VEHICLES IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL.

JAN 2015 THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. ALSO JUNE OF 2015 THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED ACTING UP. PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT LOCK/UNLOCK NOW THE DRIVER DOOR IS ACTING UP ALSO... MANY COMPLAINTS SEEN ON BOTH THESE CONCERNS.

BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW IN 2008 .AFTER A YEAR TO 1 1/2 DEVELOPED CRACK IN DASH IN CORNER BY AIRBAG. HAD DASH REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. DASH CRACKED AGAIN WITHIN 1 1/2 WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THEN AND THEY WANTED ME TO PAY A PERCENTAGE. I REFUSED TO PAY FOR THERE DEFECT

POWER SURGE TO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM... VOLTAGE METER WILL DROP BELOW 9 VOLTS THEN THE FOLLOWING OCCURS: HEADLIGHTS FLICKER, RADIO SHUTS OFF, CLIMATE CONTROL SHUTS OFF, DASH LIGHTS FLICKER, AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES, SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING POPS UP, AND TRUCK STALLS OUT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING AND IF THIS IS ELECTRICAL MAY CAUSE FIRE. THIS IS INTERMITTENT AND OCCURS AT ANYTIME FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON REGARDLESS OF WEATHER/TEMPERATURE.

AT APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES DRIVING ON A PAVED ROAD, MY DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE AIR BAG IS LOCATED, CRACKED. THE CRACK CONTINUES TO INCREASE IN SIZE. I WOULD THINK IT WOULD EFFECT OPERATION OF AIR BAG. WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS THAT ARE POSTED TO THIS, I CANNOT BELIEVE ITS NOT UNDER INVESTIGATION.

APPROX 26,000 MILES. THE CHROME HANDLES ON THE DOORS, 2 HAVE COME LOOSE. I CALLED THE CHEVY/GMC DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE A COST OF APPROX. $125 PER DOOR TO FIX.

HAD A CO-WORKER WITH A 2008 THAT TOLD ME ABOUT HIS DASHBOARD CRACK ADJACENT TO THE AIR-BAG COMPARTMENT. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 22,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN GARAGE HOUSED THE ENTIRE TIME. I'M AFRAID THAT IF THE AIR-BAG DEPLOYED, WITH THE CRACK IN THE CORNER, THERE COULD BE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE PASSENGER.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER I TOLD IT IS A BAD SENSOR THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, I ASKED THE DEALER IF THIS COMMAN THEY SAID NO BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF COMPLIATS ON THE WEB

OUT OF NOWHERE ENGINE BEGAN TO IDLE ERRATICALLY ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AT AN INTERSECTION, IF I HADN'T CAUGHT IT AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER THAT THE IDLE BEGAN TO DROP AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO STALL, THEN WOULD KICK BACK UP TO ABOUT 900-1000 RPM. WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST, NOW VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEABLE. IT IS WORSE WITH A/C ON AND IT EFFECTS ENGINE TEMP GAUGE AS WELL.

DRIVING AND THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A HITTING SOUND AS IF SOMEONE WAS BEATING A METAL OBJECT AGAINST METAL. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT WILL NOT LOCK IN TO THE RECEIVER ON SIDE OF SEAT. DEALER SAID I MAY HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSES AND REPLACEMENT PLUS PARTS. I SAY IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED FOR FREE. WONDER IF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT PASSENGER'S SEAT BELT WILL NOT DEPLOY WITHOUT A LOT OF EFFORT THE REAR SEAT BELT PASSENGER SIDE, MIDDLE SEAT - THE PLASTIC GUIDE BROKE OFF MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO HOOK BELT TO CHILD SEAT PARK ASSIST IS NOT OPERATIONAL CRUISE CONTROL WORKS ONLY PART OF THE TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 194,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

3 OF MY 4 DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED. BOTH REAR DOORS COULD NOT BE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED EXCEPT MANUALLY FROM WITHIN THE VEHICLE. REACHING OVER THE SEAT TO UNLOCK A CHILD'S DOOR IN AN EMERGENCY CONSTITUTES A SAFETY HAZARD. IN MY OPINION, GMC SHOULD STEP UP AN ACKNOWLEDGE AND ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE WAS IN (D) DRIVE AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF. IS THIS NORMAL? I CHECKED WITH MY GMC DEALER AND THEY SAID IT HAD TO BE PUT ON THE COMPUTER TO BE CHECKED, HOWEVER WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY POSTED RECALL. IS THIS RELATIVE TO THE IGNITION RECALL? THANK YOU *TR

AT 35K THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR ACTUATOR FAILED AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. AT 40K THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR ACTUATOR FAILED. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE DUE TO DEFECTIVE PARTS USED BY GMC. WITH NO ABILITY TO OPEN OR CLOSE THE PASSENGER DOOR FROM THE DRIVERS CONTROL, A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE EXISTS. E.G. UNABLE TO PREVENT AN INTRUDER FROM ENTERING THE CAR AT A STOP LIGHT, OR ALLOW A SCARED CHILD TO EXIT AFTER AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE RELEASED INDEPENDENTLY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A BROKEN RIB AND AN INJURY TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND REPAIRED FOR THE EXTERIOR DAMAGES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ODOMETER DISPLAY WAS DIM AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE. THE CONTACT ADJUSTED THE DIMMER SWITCH, DID NOT IMPROVE THE VISIBILITY FOR ALL OF THE OTHER INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS EXCEPT THE ODOMETER READING. THE DIMMER SWITCH WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES, BUT NO REMEDY WAS PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 08/12/14*LJ

THE THREE PASSENGER DOORS FAILED TO UNLOCK SIMULTANEOUSLY I UNDERSTAND A TSB HAS BEEN SENT TO DEALERS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE ,AND SHOULD REQUIRE A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORS WERE DISPLAYING THE TIRE PRESSURE READINGS IN REVERSE ORDER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL ONLY LOCK/UNLOCK MANUALLY FROM THE INSIDE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PROBLEM IS A FAILED DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. IT WILL NOT LOCK/UNLOCK WITH POWER LOCK BUTTON OR KEY FOB AND THERE IS NO KEYHOLE EXCEPT ON DRIVERS DOOR. THIS IS MY SECOND GMC VEHICLE THAT HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM AND I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED OR GMC HAS NOT BEEN FORCED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WOULDN'T YOU CONSIDER A DOOR THAT DOES NOT LOCK/UNLOCK THE INTENDED WAY A SAFETY ISSUE? *TR

ON 04.12.2014 AFTER GOING TO THE STORE, PARKED UNDER THE CARPORT. THE TIME WAS 10PM. WHILE INSIDE HEARD A POP SOUND AROUND 10:15 PM. WENT OUTSIDE AND THE TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. PUT TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND PUSHED IT FROM UNDER THE CARPORT, TRYING TO SAVE DAMAGE TO THE HOUSE. FIRE DEPT CAME AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. THE FIRE WARPED ALL THE VINYL UNDER THE CARPORT. LUCKY IT DIDN'T CATCH THE HOUSE ON FIRE. THE FIRE WAS WORSE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TT

MY 2008 GMC 1500 SIERRA "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED MY TRUCK A FEW WEEKS AGO. FINALLY WAS AT THE DEALER, ROMEO GMC IN KINGSTON, NY. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS TESTING AND ADVISED ME THAT MY FRONT AIR BAG SENSOR SENSOR WAS BAD AND IT COST ME $469 TO REPLACE IT! THE SERVICE GUY SAID 'THEY ARE IN A BAD PLACE AND GET DAMAGED FROM THE WEATHER ETC AND THEY JUST GO LIKE THAT!' REALLY? THAT'S OK FOR A SAFETY DESIGN? ALSO, HOW CAN THIS SMALL SENSOR COST SO MUCH?? IS IT JUST DEALERSHIP GOUGING PARTS PRICES? I AM SEEING ONLINE THAT I COULD HAVE BOUGHT AN AFTER MARKET PRODUCT AND REPLACED IT MYSELF- A 10MM BOLT HOLDS IT ON! WAS I JUST ROBBED? MAYBE I CAN RETURN IT AD DRIVE WITHOUT THE AIR BAG! *TT

I PURCHASED A 2008 GMC SIERRA PICKUP IN 2012 FROM GEORGE GEE AUTOMOTIVE IN LIBERTY LAKE WA. I EXPERIENCED THE FIRST AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE. I INFORMED THE DEALER GEORGE GEE ABOUT THIS AND WAS COMPLETELY IGNORED. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PARKWAY AUTOMOTIVE IN DEER PARK WA.. PARKWAY NEVER REALLY FIGURED OUT WHY THE AIR BAGS HAD THE ERROR BUT AFTER TRYING A FEW THINGS THE ERROR LIGHT WENT OFF AND STAYED OFF UNTIL MARCH 26TH 2014 WHEN IT CAME BACK ON. AT FIRST IT WAS ON OCCASIONALLY FOR A FEW DAYS. NOW IT IS ON STEADY ALL OF THE TIME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO PARKWAY TODAY 03/31/2014 AND WAS TOLD IT IS A MODULE ISSUE AND MY AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED BECAUSE OF IT. PARKWAY IS NOT A GM DEALER THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO REPAIR IT. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME AIR BAG ISSUE IN GM PRODUCTS AND FEEL THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING. *TR

DASH IS CRACKING IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. MY TRUCK IS HARDLY IN THE SUN AND I ALWAYS USE A SUN SHADE IN THE WINDSHIELD. THERE ARE SEVERAL CRACKS AROUND THE DASH AND I AM WORRIED THIS WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE AIR BAG SYSTEMS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM GMC. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,664.

PASSENGER AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK QUIT WORKING FIRST. AFTER 6 MONTHS OR SO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK QUIT WORKING ALSO. THEN WITHIN MONTHS AFTER THE DRIVERS DOOR LOCK FAILING BOTH REAR DOOR LOCKS QUIT WORKING WITHIN A MONTH OF EACH OTHER. NOW NONE OF THE DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY OR WHEN THE LOCK BUTTON IS PUSHED. *TR

RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK INTERMITTENT LOCKING. CAR ALARM WILL SET AND VEHICLE WILL START WITHOUT THE DOOR LOCKING. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED NEW TIRES AUGUST 14. ON AUGUST 30TH MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT AS I WAS PUTTING AIR IN THE TIRE I NOTICED A KNOT AND AIR COMING OUT FROM THE RIM.I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED THIS PAST SATURDAY SEPT 14TH ON SEPT 17TH THE TIRE I HAD REPLACED DID THE SAME THING.

ALL FOUR OF MY TRUCKS DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED. *TR

2008 GMC SIERRA 1500 POWER DOOR LOCKS ALL FAILED. *TR

THE VEHICLE IS A 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO DRIVE. ONCE I HAD ARRIVED AT THE DESTINATION THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AS A RESULT. I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE ELECTRONIC LOCK TO RE-LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOOR AND THIS HAD NO SUCCESS. ATTEMPTED ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPENING THE DOOR WITH THE OUTSIDE LATCH WHICH ALSO HAD NO SUCCESS. TRIED MANUALLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOOR AND NOTHING APPEARS TO ALLOW THIS DOOR TO BE OPENED USING THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DOOR LATCHES. I HAD TO EXIT THE VEHICLE USING THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WHICH OPENED AS IT SHOULD. NEITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DOOR LATCHES FUNCTIONED. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND THIS SHOULD BE PUT ON A RECALL LIST AND THE RESOLUTION SHOULD BE PROVIDED AT NO COST TO THE OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

MY 2008 GMC SIERRA HAS HAD THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS FAIL ON THREE OF THE FOUR DOORS. THE FIRST OCCURRED AFTER ABOUT 36,000 MILES AND THE MOST RECENT OCCURRED TODAY AT ABOUT 64,700 MLES. THE FIRST REPAIR COST OVER $300. I HAVE BEEN HESITANT TO HAVE THE OTHER TWO DOORS REPAIRED BECAUSE OF COST, BUT SAFETY IS A CONCERN. THE TWO REAR DOORS NOW WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN DRIVE, PRESENTING A HAZARD ESPECIALLY WHEN TRANPORTING CHILDREN. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. SHOOULDN'T GM ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TWO LARGE CRACKS ON DASHBOARD. ONE IS ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HUMP AND IT'S APPROXIMATELY 5" IN LENGTH. THE OTHER IS JUST ABOVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THAT ONE IS APPROXIMATELY 3" IN LENGTH. *TR

2 OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAILED. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500. I HAVE READ ON ONE POST ALONE ABOUT A "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MESSAGE BEING DISPLAYED, AND THERE ARE OVER 400 PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. THE VEHICLES FROM GM GO INTO A REDUCED POWER AND HAVE NO THROTTLE AT SPEEDS OF UP TO 75+MPH. THERE HAVE BEEN WRECKS FROM THIS AND YET GM DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. I HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE 2 NIGHTS AGO DOING 50 MPH WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT. I WAS A LUCKY ONE AND HAD ROOM TO PULL OVER BEFORE SOMEONE SMACKED INTO THE BACK OF MY TRUCK. PLEASE DO SOMETHING FOR GM OWNERS!!!!!!! THIS IS BS AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DIE FIRST BEFORE A RECALL??? GOVERNMENT MOTORS IS CRAP PEOPLE. DON'T BUY! *TR

POWER DOOR LOCK FAILED ON DRIVER DOOR. YOU CAN NOT OPEN DOOR WITH OUT LIFTING HAND LATCH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS-- MEANING YOU CAN NOT OPEN DOOR BY DOOR HANDLE-- THERE IS NO OVERRIDE LIKE PROVIDED ON OTHER VEHICLES. OTHER DOOR FAILED 2 MONTHS LATER. TRUCK LOCKS AND UNLOCKS DOORS WHEN MOVING SHIFTER FROM PARK TO DRIVE, THERE IS NO PROGRAM OPTION TO DELETE THIS OPTION. SO YOU LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS EVERY TIME YOU SHIFT TRUCK TRANSMISSION TO PARK OR IN DRIVE. THIS IS NOT NEEDED IN MY CASE, SINCE YOU CAN MANUALLY DO SAME. THIS IS MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GENERAL MOTOR COMPANY SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING IN REVERSE 2 MPH OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY WHEN SMOKED EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TAIL LIGHT MARKER ASSEMBLY WAS ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A PRIVATE MECHANIC. THE PRIVATE MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE MARKER TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE EXITING A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY AT LOW SPEEDS, THE SIDE WINDOW AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES FROM THE AIR BAG. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 33,800.

TOOK 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500 4X4 TO TIRE STORE TO ROTATE TIRES. THEY INDICATED THAT THE LOWER FRONT BALL JOINTS WERE LOOSE. THIS TRUCK HAS 77,000 MILES SO I WAS SKEPTICAL. TOOK TRUCK TO GMC DEALER FOR SERVICE & REQUESTED THAT THEY CHECK THE LOWER FRONT BALL JOINTS. THEY INDICATED THAT THE BALL JOINTS HAD ONE QUARTER OF AN INCH OF VERTICAL PLAY AND WERE INDEED LOOSE & NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I HAVE EARLIER GMC TRUCKS WITH OVER 200,000 MILES AND HAVE NOT HAD WORN LOWER BALL JOINTS. I BELIEVE THAT THE LOOSENESS IS DUE TO THE BALL JOINT PULLING APART. THE WEAR WAS NOT SIDE TO SIDE AS WOULD BE EXPECTED. I WANT TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT SO AS TO AVOID A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION. I WANT TO USE OEM PARTS BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT THESE BALL JOINTS ARE DEFECTIVE. THE GMC DEALER ADVISES THAT EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK HAS A 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, THE BALL JOINTS ARE NOT COVERED. *TR

2008 GMC SIERRA 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THUMP UNDER THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL *TGW THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HAD A CRACK IN IT AND THE REAR MIDDLE LEAF SPRING WAS BROKEN. *JB

AT ABOUT 37K MILES THE FRONT DOORS OF MY 2008 SIERRA WILL NOT UNLOCK HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK DOORS AND FOB WILL NOT LOCK EVEN UNLOCK DOORS RESULTING IN POSSIBLE THEFT. BACK DOORS WORK PROPERLY. ALSO FOG LIGHTS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. A/C IS MAKING A LOUD NOISE. *TR
