2015 GMC Sierra 1500 complaints

MY DRIVER'S SEAT BECAME LOOSE APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AGO (7/17/17). IT HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN FEEL MY SEAT SHIFTING WHEN I TURN OR ACCELERATE. I AM WORRIED THAT IN THE EVENT OF A WRECK, MY SEAT MAY BECOME A PROJECTILE. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN WACO, TX ON 7/31/17, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED (TODAY, 8/1/17) THAT THIS CONDITION IS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY PROGRAM, WHICH I FIND DISAPPOINTING AND FRUSTRATING. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS SAME CONDITION IN GM TRUCKS FROM 2014 - 2015 YEAR MODELS.

THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD PROPERLY. YOU CANNOT SEE LEFT OR RIGHT, ONLY STRAIGHT AHEAD. ALSO THE BRIGHTNESS IS VERY LOW. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

HEAD LIGHTS ARE SO BAD IT'S DANGEROUS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH THE LOW BEAMS. THE INTERNAL HEAD LIGHT SHUTTER CREATES A DISTINCT LINE WITH TOTAL DARKNESS ABOVE. WHILE TAKING A TURN YOU HAVE NO LIGHT TO THE SIDE AT ALL! YOU EASILY OUT DRIVE THE HEAD LIGHTS WITH ONLY THE LOW BEAM. BEEN IN THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. NO GOOD AFTER MARKET FIX!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE ENGINE ALSO LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING AND THE REARVIEW CAMERA DISPLAY FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PHIL MOORE BUICK GMC (5728 I-55 NORTH, JACKSON, MS 39211), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT (THANKFULLY) WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD TO PUSH, AND THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUES FOR THIS PROBLEM PIT5405B.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SQUEAK AND SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FERGUSON GMC IN NORMAN, OKLAHOMA TWICE WHERE ROUTINE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT DIRT AND DEBRIS BETWEEN THE LEAF SPRINGS CAUSED SQUEAKING NOISES. THE DEALER CLEANED AND LUBRICATED THE LEAF SPRING PADS AND STATED THAT THE NOISE WAS NOT PRESENT AFTER THE INITIAL REPAIR. UPON TAKING A TEST DRIVE, THE NOISE FROM THE LEAF SPRINGS ENSUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED. IN ADDITION, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE FAILURE WOULD BE CONSIDERED A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT FOR WHICH THE CONTACT WOULD BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. AN UNKNOWN TSB WAS ISSUED REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER COIL. CONDENSER COIL IS LEAKING. TRUCK IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD WITH THE PROBLEM STARTING.

WHEN DRIVING IN RURAL AREAS AT NIGHT HEADLIGHTS ONLY ILLUMINATE OUT ABOUT 100 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE CREATING A BLACK LINE WITH ALMOST NO VISIBILITY ABOVE THE LINE AND EXTREMELY LIMITED SIDE VISIBILITY WHICH CREATES A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WHEN TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION AT AN INTERSECTION AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SPOT ANIMALS, PEDESTRIANS OR BICYCLISTS.

I WAS RIDING ON THE FREEWAY AND SOMEONE FLAGGED ME DOWN AND SAID YOU CAR IS ON FIRE. THE FIRE WAS BETWEEN THE CAB AND THE BED OF THE TRUCK ON 3/22/2017. ON 4/11/2017 IS BEGAN TO SMELL OF SMOKE WHENEVER I CRANK. THE SMELL IS COMING THROUGH THE VENTS. ALSO THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THE EMISSIONS FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS. I AM PAYING A NOTE ON THIS VEHICLE MONTHLY AND AM NOT ABLE TO USE IT. I CAN'T GET IT INSPECTED AND THE REGISTRATION IS OUT THEREFORE I CANNOT DRIVE IT.

HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH ACCESSORIES FLASHING OFF AND BACK ON. REPORTED IT TO A GMC DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE BUT SAID THAT THE BATTERY WAS BAD AND MOST LIKELY WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. IT DID FINE FOR A WHILE THEN BEGAN DOING IT AGAIN. THIS TIME HOWEVER IT CAUSED A LOSS IN POWER STEERING AND I ENDED UP IN THE DITCH. LATER IT DID IT IN A PARKING LOT AND WAS ABLE TO VIDEO TAPE IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND SHOWED THEM THE VIDEO. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE FOR 4 DAYS WHILE I WAS PAYING FOR A RENTAL BECAUSE MINE WASN'T SAFE TO DRIVE. ON THE FOURTH DAY I PROVIDED THEM WITH A SERVICE BULLETIN I FOUND THAT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE AS BEING A FLUCTUATION IN POWER AND FOR THEM TO CHECK THE CABLES AND DO A DROP LOAD TEST. THEY DID AND IT FAILED. I THEN HAD TO PAY 376.00 TO REPLACE THEM PLUS HAVING TO PAY FOR A RENTAL AFTER ASKING FOR A LOANER. THIS IS A PROBLEM A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING. JUST A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH MAKES THAT PLAIN. GM ISN'T WANTING TO ADMIT IT. I HAVE THE VIDEO BUT I DON'T THINK IT WILL ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD IT TO THE FORM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE REVERSE POSITION, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LUTHER FAMILY GMC TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

GMC UPGRADED THE HEADLAMPS AS A "FIX" FOR THE EXTREMELY POOR SIDE AND FORWARD ILLUMINATION BY THE VEHICLE. THE "FIX" IS STILL SUCH A POOR EXCUSE FOR HEADLAMP ILLUMINATION THAT WE KEEP FROM DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT AS A "SAFETY" REASON. THE POOR PERFORMANCE CONTINUES AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS EXHAUSTED WHAT GMC/GM IS WILLING TO DO AND IS NOT THE DEALERSHIPS PROBLEM BUT GM'S. I WOULD SEND A PHOTO OF THE POOR HEADLIGHT PERFORMANCE BUT YOU CAN'T SEE IT AS IT WAS ON A RAINY NIGHT AND THE HEADLAMPS THEN ARE EVEN WORSE. WHAT A POOR EXCUSE FOR A FIX. GMC/GM FIXED THE ISSUES IN THE 2016 AND 2017 BUT DUE TO THE COST OF REWORKING THE TRUCKS THEY SOLD IN 2014 AND 2015 THEY HIDE BEHIND THE SORRY FIX THEY MAKE THE DEALERS TRY TO MAKE THE CUSTOMERS GO AWAY.

BACKING BOAT DOWN BOAT RAMP (NOT A STEEP RAMP) IN TRAILER MODE, BRAKING DID NOT STOP VEHICLE. PUMPED PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES, USED LOTS OF FORCE ON PEDAL. BECAUSE OF SLOW SPEED AND INCREASED EFFORT, THE VEHICLE DID STOP. PULLED FORWARD AND REPEATED AT SLOWER REVERSE SPEED AND SAME POOR BRAKING. DRY CONDITIONS, BRAKES DRY, DID NOT PUT REAR WHEELS IN WATER. HAVE NOT HAD A REPEATED EVENT. DEALER INDICATED THAT SERVICE BULLETIN PIT5361B APPLIES, BUT BECAUSE OF MILEAGE IT IS NOT WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

MY TRUCK SUFFERS FROM VIBRATION PROBLEMS, THE SAME THING THAT 10,837 OTHER POSTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE SUFFERING THE SAME PROBLEM ARE TALKING ABOUT ON THIS FORUM. HTTP://WWW.GM-TRUCKS.COM/FORUMS/TOPIC/153186-SHAKE-OR-VIBRATION-ISSUES/PAGE-723 THIS FORUM HAS BEEN VIEWED OVER 1.5 MILLION TIMES WHICH MEANS A TON OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A RISK TO MOTOR VECHICLE SAFETY AND ABSOLUTELY EXISTS IN A GROUP OF VECHICLES OF THE SAME DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE. THE PROBLEMS THIS SHAKE PRESENTS THAT POSE A DANGER ARE VIBRATIONS SO SIGNIFICANT THAT IT CAN CAUSE DRIVER DISTRACTION, FATIGUE ON LONG TRIPS, POTENTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL, NOT TO MENTION LONG TERM HEALTH EFFECTS FROM VIBRATION EXPOSURE. THE HEALTH EFFECTS DEFINED ARE AS FOLLOWS: "THE EFFECTS OF WHOLE BODY VIBRATION (WBV) HAVE BEEN STUDIED EXTENSIVELY IN OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE. IN PARTICULAR, IT HAS BEEN SHOWN THAT WHEN THE BODY UNDERGOES CHRONICALLY TO WHOLE BODY VIBRATIONS SPINAL DEGENERATION IS LIKELY TO BE ONE OF THE DELETERIOUS OUTCOMES. LOW BACK PAIN HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE THE LEADING MAJOR CAUSE OF INDUSTRIAL DISABILITY IN THE POPULATION UNDER THE AGE OF 45 YEARS AND HAS BEEN LINKED TO WHOLE BODY VIBRATION EXPOSURE ENCOUNTERED IN SOME INDUSTRIAL SETTINGS. WHOLE BODY VIBRATION HAS BEEN RECENTLY PURPOSED AS AN EXERCISE INTERVENTION SUGGESTING ITS EFFECTIVENESS IN INCREASING FORCE-GENERATING CAPACITY IN LOWER LIMBS AND LOW BACK. IT HAS ALSO BEEN REPORTED TO BE AN EFFECTIVE NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL INTERVENTION FOR PATIE

I OWN A 2015 GMC SIERRA. I BELIEVE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM. A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASING MY TRUCK NEW OFF THE LOT I MISSED TURNING ON MY STREET (THAT I HAVE LIVED ON FOR 3 YEARS) BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE THE SIGN OR THE ROAD PROPERLY. I ENDED UP IN MY NEIGHBOR'S DITCH. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO DAMAGE, BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON FAMILIAR ROADS DUE TO THE INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT LIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS PRODUCE. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AFTER DARK ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD WITH 35 MPH SPEED LIMITS. THERE WAS NOT ANY ADDITIONAL STREET LIGHTING AROUND TO PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHTING.

HEAD LIGHTS ARE DIM BOTH HIGH AND LOW BEAM .IN TRAFFIC AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY CAN NOT SEE LANES .SIDE VISION THERE IS NONE .ON HILLY BACK ROADS VISION IS LIMITED .LOW BEAM YOU GO IN A DIP LIGHTS ARE IN THE GROUND GOING UP OTHER SIDE LIGHTS ARE IN THE TREES. HIGH BEAMS ARE IN THE TREE TOPS .ONLY 1 BULB ADJUST IS LIMITED.

BRAKE FAILURE WHILE TOWING A 3500 POUND BOAT. VACUUM BOOSTER SYSTEM FAILURE. I WAS MOVING SLOWLY THROUGH A PARKING LOT PULLING MY BOAT, WHEN I PUSHED THE BRAKES THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL BOTTOMED OUT AND THE TRUCK AND TRAILER CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY

CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT VERY POOR VISIBILITY IS SO DANGER DRIVING OVER FREEWAY AT NIGHT THE ROD DISAPPEAR BECAUSE THE LOW BEAN CAN'T ILLUMINE THE ROD NOW ALL THE TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH HIG BEAN BUT STILL NOT ENOUGH LIGHT AND ILLUMINATION TO BE FOCUS ON THE ROD IS VEY DANGER DRIVING THIS TRUCK WITH THIS TRUCK FACTORY PROBLEM

THE GMC SIERRA HAS A TERRIBLE VIBRATION FROM 70 - 80 MPH. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 7 TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR, 9 NEW TIRES, AND THE VIBRATION STILL CONTINUES. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH GM BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION. THE TRUCK FEELS UNSTABLE AND LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THIS VEHICLE HAS ISSUES AND IT NEEDS ADDRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRAME RUSTED ALL OVER WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT IT WAS SURFACE RUST, WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT SURFACE RUST WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,000.

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN 9/2015. I REPORTED A VIBRATION BETWEEN 75-80MPH TO THE NEARBY GM DEALER (TWICE). THE DEALER KEPT THE TRUCK FOR A FEW DAYS AND STATED THEY COULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT, THEY DID A ROAD FORCE BALANCE ON THE TIRES AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM FIXED. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER AT 13K MILES, THEY KEPT THE TRUCK FOR A FEW DAYS AND REPORTED THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED THE TIRES AND STATED THE VIBRATION HAS BEEN RESOLVED. I DROVE THE TRUCK FOR ANOTHER 3K MILES AND NOTICED THAT THE VIBRATION WAS STARTING UP AGAIN. AT 18K MILES, I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER AND THEY ARE GOING TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE PROBLEM A 5TH TIME.

SIGNIFICANT CLUNKING IN REAR END INDICATIVE OF IMPROPER ALIGNMENT OR LASH IS REAR DIFFERENTIAL. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION AT SPEEDS OVER 65 MPH WHEN THE DRIVELINE IS UNDER LOAD. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED THREE TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION TO DATE. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 18,000.

AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASH AND WILL NOT GO OUT.

ON 2/5/2017 WHILE TURNING UNTO MY STREET THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULD NOT MOVE MY TRUCK FROM HITTING A BLOCK WALL. I ALSO TRIED BREAKING BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP IN TIME TO NOT HIT THE WALL. I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY (20 MPH) BECAUSE I WAS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND ME AND MY FAMILY WERE ALL WEARING SEATBELTS SO NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. AND I ALSO BENT THE STEERING WHEEL IN HALF TRYING TO MOVE IT. I AM ATTACHING A PICTURE OF THE STEERING WHEEL ITSELF AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT CALIBER COLLISIONS FOR THE REPAIRS. I WENT TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD RUN DIAGNOSTICS AFTER THE TRUCK COMES OUT OF THE SHOP.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS A HARD SHIFT WHEN GOING FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR PARK TO 1ST GEAR. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS CAUSING A SHAKE SIMILAR TO RUNNING OVER INTERSTATE ROAD BUMPERS/ LINES. THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY RESET THE "LEARNING TRANSMISSION" FIXING THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY FOR A DAY OR TWO.

PROBLEM PRESENTED AS ENGINE DYING AT STOP SIGNS AND PROGRESSED TO ENGINE MISS WITH RANDOM ENGINE STOP. WAS SENT TO SHOP 3 TIMES OVER A EIGHT WEEK PERIOD WITH NO RESOLUTION TO PROBLEM.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND DANGEROUS IN THIS VEHICLE. VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT AND DANGEROUS WHEN RAINING. IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FROM WHEN I BOUGHT IT. LIGHTING SHOULD BE BETTER ON A $50K TRUCK.

I PURCHASED MY FIRST NEW VEHICLE IN OCT OF 2015. I'VE OWNED 4 VEHICLES SINCE I'VE HAD MY LICENSE, 2 DODGES AND 2 BMWS. I CHOSE A TRUCK I'VE DREAMED OF HAVING SINCE I WAS 16. I'M CURRENTLY 28. I CHOSE THE SIERRA DENALI. NOT ONLY WAS THIS MY FIRST NEW VEHICLE BUT THIS WAS MY FIRST TRUCK AND MY FIRST GM PRODUCT OF MY LIFE. NOW I'M TEETERING ON IT BEING MY LAST. THROUGH THE 14 MONTHS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE (SINCE 4 MILES) I'VE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES. MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HAS BEEN REBUILT NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. MY TRUCK HAS 45K ON IT. IT HAS NEVER TOWED HAULED OR OTHER WISE PERFORMED A TASK REQUIRING IT'S POWER OTHER THAN NORMAL DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN BABIED. CLEANED WASHED OIL CHANGED TIRES ROTATED AND 93 OCTANE FILL UPS. AMONGST OTHER ISSUES WERE THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER FREEZING. CVS AXLE SHAFTS PERFORMING ERRATIC ALONG WITH BUCKING SLAMMING AND NOISES THROUGH THE POWER TRAIN. A RANDOM LEAK IN THE LOWER OIL PAN THAT THE DEALER SAID WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THEY WERE AWARE OF. A AIRBAG SOFTWARE SAFETY RECALL AND A SHIFTING DRIVER SEAT THAT TENDS TO MOVE A BIT DURING CORNERING. NOW TO TOP ALL OF THOSE ISSUES OFF IN THOSE 14 MONTHS I NOW HAVE A LEAK THE EXTENDS OUT FROM THE EDGE ABOUT 5 INCHES FROM THE REAR WINDSHIELD ALL THE WAY FROM THE DRIVER SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE. I'M NOT IN BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD 100 DOLLARS AND IT WILL BE FIXED. IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE FIXED. NONE OF IT SHOULD HAVE. I HAVE HAD LESS ISSUES IN ALL 4 OF MY LAST VEHICLES PUT TOGETHER THAN THIS 1 VEHICLE

TRUCK HAS VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND GAS PEDAL BETWEEN THE SPEEDS 30-75 MPH. WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK AT ANY OF THE LISTED SPEEDS AND HAVE THE SPEED STEADY AT SAID SPEED, VIBRATION CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND GAS PEDAL IN THE 2WD AND 4WD-AUTO MODES. ALSO WHEN THE ENGINE SHIFTS FROM V8 TO V4 MODES. TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THREE (3) DEALERS SO FAR AND DID NOT SEE MUCH IMPROVEMENT IN THE VIBRATION. *TR

HEADLIGHTS ARE TOTALLY INADEQUATE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. ADD A BIT OF RAIN AND IT IS REALLY SCARY. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW IN 4/2106 AND THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING. IS THIS NORMAL?

HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM, (HIGH AND LOW BEAM), THAT THEY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20TH 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 7:15PM WHILE DRIVING SOUTH ON NEW RIVER ROAD IN LINCOLN RI I TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET. WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT IT WAS SNATCHED OUT OF MY HANDS AND THE STEERING WHEEL AUTOMATICALLY TURNED BACK TO CENTER IT SELF. I COULD NOT MANEUVER THE VEHICLE AS IT ROLLED UP ONTO THE SIDEWALK WHERE I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO FORCE THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING INTO A TREE. THE VEHICLE DIC DISPLAYED "PARK ASSIST" AND AFTERWARDS THE VEHICLE WENT COMPLETELY DEAD...NO LIGHTS OR SOUNDS WHEN I TRIED TURNING THE KEY TO RESTART IT. LIFTED UP THE HOOD AND ALL THE ELECTRONICS CAME BACK ON AND VEHICLE STARTED. DIC PROMPT DISPLAYED "OPEN AND THEN CLOSE THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW" HAD VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR SERVICE. *TR

HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE USELESS,CAN'T SEE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I'M OVERDRIVING THE LIGHTS EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT EVEN AT THE SPEED LIMIT! *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS IN THIS VEHICLE ARE UNSAFE. THE ARE DIM AND ONLY PROJECT OUT A SHORT DISTANCE AND VERY LITTLE TO THE PERIPHERY. THERE IS ALSO A DARK LINE IN THE FIELD OF VIEW WHERE ABOVE IT IS DARK AND BELOW IS DULL LIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP AND THE SOLUTION WAS TO UPGRADE THE LIGHT BULBS WHICH THEY DID. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I ESCALATED IT TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION.

EXTREME LAG/DELAY- HARSH ENGAGEMENT WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE. ITS LIKE YOU ARE BACKING INTO SOMETHING? WHEN CRUISING 28-32 MPH AND RELEASING ACCELERATOR(AS IF YOU WERE COASTING INTO A TURN) WHEN SLOWING THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO SHIFT UP AND LUNGE ENTERING THE TURN. CLUNKS AND SHIFTS HARD WHEN CRUISING NORMALLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL AND SLIGHTLY REACCELERATE, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO HESITATE. VEHICLE SHUTTERS AND HARD ACCEL 10X WORSE WHEN TOWING A 7000 # TRAILER (TRUCK IS RATED OVER 12,000 LBS. TOWING).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE DEFROSTER STOPPED WORKING AND THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS BLOWING OUT HOT AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2015 SIERRA ARE HORRIBLE AND DO NOT ILLUMINATE WELL ENOUGH TO PROVIDE FOR SAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT. ALSO, THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO SIDE ILLUMINATION WHICH MAKES TURNING CORNERS DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION VIBRATED AND CAUSED A HESITATION WHEN THE GEARS SHIFTED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50.

ON THE NIGHT OF 11/04/2016 WE ALMOST HIT A PERSON THAT WAS NOT VISIBLE TO US BECAUSE OF INADEQUATE FACTORY HEADLIGHTS ON ALL GMC 1500 TRUCKS. WE HAVE HAD OUR TRUCK IN FOR WARRANTY COMPLAINT ON THESE LIGHT, AND AFTER 3 DEALERS IN 3 DIFFERENT STATE THE FIX THEY USE DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AND NOW GM CUSTOMER RELATIONS E- MAIL ME AND STATE THEY HAVE DONE ALL THEY CAN DO AND CLOSES OUR CLAIM. NHTSA NEEDS TO LOOK IN TO THIS ASAP BEFORE SOME ONE IS KILLED, I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AFTER DARK

HEADLIGHTS: YOU CAN NOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK AFTER DARK BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE UNSAFE. WHEN ON LOW BEAM THERE IS A BLACK SPOT FROM ABOUT 3 FEET UP AND THERE IS NO SIDE LIGHT. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSABLE TO SEE CURBS, STREET SIGNS, STOP SIGNS, HUMANS AND ANIMALS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD STREET OR HIGHWAY

HARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE ROADWAY VERY WELL. AND RAINY NIGHT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WITH HEADLIGHT AND DRIVING LIGHTS ON. *TR

TRUCK SHAKES AT HI-WAY SPEED. REPLACED TIRES AS TOLD BY DEALER AND ROAD FORCE BALANCE AND HAD NO EFFECT ON THE SHAKING.

STEERING RACK MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING/CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION.

I AM IN RECEIPT OF THE PAPERWORK CONCERNING THE ABOVE CLAIMED FOR MY VEHICLE. THE PAPERWORK IN MY POSSESSION CLEARLY STATES THAT FARMERS INSURANCE HAS MADE ME AWARE THAT MY VEHICLE 'HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A TOTAL LOSS'. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THESE FINDINGS SINCE IT SEEMED MY VEHICLE ONLY SUFFERED MINOR DAMAGES TO THE EXTERIOR ONLY. AIRBAGS WHERE NOT DEPLOYED NOR ANY WINDOWS SHATTERED. I AM ALSO IN RECEIPT OF THE PAPERWORK CONCERNING MY CLAIM AND DETERMINING I AM 51% AT FAULT TOWARDS THE ACCIDENT. I CLEARLY GAVE MY SIDE OF THE STORY TO THE POLICE OFFICE THAT MY STEERING WHEEL HAD LOCKED AND I WAS UNABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. I WAS NOT UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANY DRUGS SO I FEEL MECHANICAL FAILURE SHOULD BE ASSESSED. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION WAS ALSO SENT TO ME WHERE IT CLEARLY STATES RECALL NOTICES FOR MY VEHICLE. RECALL NOTICE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 14V719000, DATED BY THE MANUFACTURER NOVEMBER 10, 2014 STATES A RECALL NOTICE NAMING THE STEERING AS THE COMPONENT NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER GMC/CHEVROLET CONCERNING THIS MATTER. UPON REVIEW OF THIS LETTER, PLEASE ALSO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE RECALLS THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDED ME AND RECONSIDER PURSUING OF SUBROGATION FROM A THIRD PARTY, I.E. GMC/CHEVROLET MANUFACTURER.

HEADLIGHTS ARE A MFG DEFECT AND THIS TRUCK IS EXTREMELY DANGERS TO DRIVE AFTER DARK

OVER THE SUMMER THE DRIVERS SEAT IN MY TRUCK STARTED MAKING A CLICKING SOUND AND FELT LIKE THE BASE WAS SHIFTING, ALMOST LIKE A BOLT WAS COMING LOOSE AND THE BASE WAS SLIDING ON THE THREADS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND DESCRIBED WHAT WAS HAPPENING, THEY DROVE IT AND DECIDED THAT THEY NEEDED TO INSTALL A SHIM KIT TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THEY INSTALLED THE KIT AND NOW A FEW MONTHS LATER IT IS STARTING TO DO IT AGAIN. HOW SAFE IS IT TO HAVE SHIMS UNDER THE SEAT TO TIGHTEN THINGS UP WHEN THAT SEAT IS WHAT IT SUPPOSED TO HOLD YOU IN THE VEHICLE IN THE CASE OF A COLLISION. I AM TAKING IT BACK TO MY DEALER TO HAVE THEM RE-REPAIR IT BUT ARE SHIMS EVEN SAFE UNDER THE SEAT OR IS THIS JUST GMS MONEY SAVING SOLUTION TO GET CONSUMERS OFF THEIR BACK WHILE PUTTING THEIR SAFETY AT RISK?

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE FAIL TO PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE LATERAL VIEW OF THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ANYTHING THAT MIGHT BE MOVING IN TO THE DRIVER'S PATH FROM THE LEFT OR NIGHT SIDES. LATERAL VIEW OF THE HIGHWAY IS NOT IMPROVED WHEN CHANGING FROM LOW BEAM TO HIGH BEAM OR VICE VERSA. THE ONLY WAY TO CAST ANY LATERAL LIGHT TO THE SIDES OF THE HIGHWAY IS TO UTILIZE THE FOG LAMPS WHICH CAN ONLY BE ACTIVATED WHILE USING THE LOW BEAM. THE LACK OF ADEQUATE LATERAL LIGHTING MAKES NIGHT DRIVING EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOOK FOR ANIMALS OR HUMANS THAT MIGHT BE STEPPING IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS LEASED.

I HAVE A 2015 GMC SIERRA PICKUP TRUCK, PURCHASED NEW IN FEBRUARY 2015. AS SOON AS I DROVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM ON BOTH LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND A GM TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (#PIT5374) , WHICH INSTRUCTS THE TECH TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHT BULBS, AND TO INCREASE VOLTAGE TO THE HEADLIGHTS VIA THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. I HAD THE DEALER PERFORM THIS TSB IN JUNE OF 2015, BUT SINCE THE UPGRADE, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE HEADLIGHTS IS ONLY SLIGHTLY BETTER. THE TRUCK IS UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, AND ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN. IN ADDITION, ONE OF THE NEW HEADLIGHT BULBS BLEW LAST WEEK, BUT THE GMC DEALER REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY ONCE HE LOCATED A BULB AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP IN TOWN.
