A/C CONDENSER IS LEAKING - BLOWING HOT AIR

AFTER COMING TO A STOP OR REACHING SLOW SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES FIRMER WITH EACH PUMP UNTIL THE PEDAL ONLY MOVES ROUGHLY AN INCH BEFORE STOPPING, AND BRAKING FORCE IS BARELY ENOUGH TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM IDLING FORWARD. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON A DOWNWARD SLOPE AT A STOPLIGHT IT REQUIRES MASSIVE AMOUNT OF FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM ROLLING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. ALSO, IF TRAFFIC BEGINS TO MOVE AFTER A STOP AND THEN STOPS AGAIN ABRUPTLY WITHOUT GAINING MUCH SPEED,THE SAME THING WILL OCCUR AND IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO NOT HIT THE REAR END OF THE CAR IN FRONT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE VACUUM PUMP. I WILL BE VISITING A DEALER SOON. 2015 GMC SIERRA SLT WITH 57,000 MILES.

I AFTER PULLING INTO A SERVICE STATION, I WAS BACKING UP AND SUDDENLY HAD NO BRAKES. I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE.

A/C REFRIGERANT LEAKS OUT AND BURNS EYES WHILE DRIVING. AFTER A FEW TIMES OF USING AND EYES BURNING, ALL REFRIGERANT LEAKS OUT, LEAVING A/C NONWORKING IN VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ASTRO BUICK GMC (2238 WHITE HALL BLVD, WHITE HALL, WV 26554, (304) 366-4460) FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CONDENSER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,000.

BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD AND NON EFECTIVE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK OR AT LOW IDLE SPEEDS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS NEARLY CAUSING SERIOUS HARM TO BYSTANDERS AND PROPERTY. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH GM TRUCKS AND DO NOT KNOW WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM SERIOUS INJURY.

10113356 STEERING WHEEL KICKS/ JERKS BACK AND FORTH. CAR SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY. ELECTRONICS RESET FOR NO REASON. SOUNDS LIKE ITS KNOWN ISSUE, BUT GM DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING FOR IT.

BRAKE FAILURE AT PARKING LOT SPEED. WHILE REVERSING IN TRUCK, BRAKES BECAME HARD AND FAILED. ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE.

MY 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500 (APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES) HAD A DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE AC SYSTEM TO CRACK AND LEAK REFRIGERANT, LOSE PRESSURE, AND FAIL TO PROPERLY FUNCTION. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED GM SERVICE CENTER ON 4/11/19, THREE OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES (MAKE/MODEL/YEAR) WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. UPON CONDUCTING FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AMONGST SIMILAR YEAR GMC SIERRA AND CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 PICKUPS. SO MUCH SO THAT SOME AREAS ARE EXPERIENCING AC CONDENSER REPLACEMENT PART SHORTAGES. MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND GM REFUSED TO ASSIST WITH THE OVER $1,200 REPAIR BILL.

HARD PEDAL, EXTREMELY POOR BRAKING RESPONSE WHILE SLOWING AND DURING PARKING OF VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN MULTIPLE PEDAL PUMPS ARE REQUIRED. PROGRESSIVELY WORSENING OVER PAST 6 MONTHS. I REPLACED VACUUM BOOST PUMP AND PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTED HARD, DELAYED ACCELERATION AT TIMES, SHUDDERED AND JERKED. THIS WAS USUALLY SLOWING DOWN TO TURN AROUND 30 OR 40 MPH AS THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION. AFTER ONLY TWO YEARS THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING POORLY THE MOMENT I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT EVEN IF IT "ADAPTIVE LEARNING" YOU COULD TELL THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG.

AT LOW IDLE THE BRAKING BECOME VERY STIFF AND EXTREME PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE IS NEED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. HANK GRAFF OF DURAND MI INDICATED IT IS DUE TO A FAILED BRAKE ASSIST VACUUM PUMP. THE SERVICE REP. ALSO EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE WHEN THEY PULLED THE VEHICLE INTO THE REPAIR BAY. AS THE OWNER, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS BRAKING ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DROVE ON THE SHOULDER AND WAS ABLE TO PARK IN A REST AREA TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCGOVERN BUICK GMC (LOCATED AT 2806, 150 TURNPIKE RD, WESTBOROUGH, MA 01581, (508) 439-4362) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VACUUM BRAKE PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

AT FIRST THE ISSUE STARTED AS I WAS PARKING IN REVERSE, PRESSED THE BRAKES AND THE TRUCK DID NOT WANT TO STOP UNTIL I PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. THEN PULLED FORWARD TO CHECK AND IT DID THE SAME THING SO I PARKED THE TRUCK AND LEFT IT OVERNIGHT. IT WORKED FINE IN THE MORNING AND THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER ABOUT A FIVE HOUR DRIVE HOME FROM WORK I EXITED THE FREEWAY EXIT 99 IN TUMWATER THE BRAKES GOT REALLY STIFF AND WAS NOT SLOWING QUICK ENOUGH FOR THE STOP SIGN COMING UP, I SLOWED TO ABOUT 35MPH THEN REALIZED IT WASN'T GONNA STOP SO I PRESSED THE BRAKES AS HARD I COULD SWERVING JUST PAST THE STOP SIGN UNTIL IT STOPPED. PRECEDED SLOWLY GOT SOME FUEL AND STILL HAD ABOUT ANOTHER HOUR DRIVE HOME AND NOW THE BRAKES WAS REALLY STIFF AND TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP UNLESS I PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. SO I GOT BACK ON THE FREEWAY GOING ONLY ABOUT 55 MPH INCREASING MY STOPPING DISTANCE CRAWLING ALL THE WAY HOME HAVING PRESS THE BRAKES EXTREMELY HARD WHEN I NEEDED TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC LIGHTS. NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK ANYWHERE WITHOUT FEARING OF THE BRAKES NOT WORKING AT ALL COMPLETELY. IT

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT MY BRAKES FAILED TO STOP MY TRUCK TWICE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY STIFF, LIKE IT WAS A MANUAL BRAKE AND NOT POWER. HAD TO DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD TO GET MY TRUCK TO STOP. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN RESTARTED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL RETURNED TO NORMAL.

BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM FAULTY. CAUSING A NEAR MISS IN DRIVE THRU ALMOST REAR ENDING ANOTHER CAR. VACUUM PUMP FAULTY.BRAKES BECOME HARD TO PUSH AND GET NO RESPONSE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS. GM NEEDS TO HAVE A RE-CALL BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE LOTS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS.

BRAKE PEDAL WON'T GO DOWN AND IS STIFF . BRAKES DON'T REACT.

BREAK PEDAL AT LOW SPEEDS LOCKS UP COMPLETELY.

BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. AT SLOW SPEEDS MY BRAKES ALMOST DON'T SEEM TO WORK. I'M SURE IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM I'VE READ ABOUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT STRUCK A PARKED VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,499.

A/C STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. FOUND OUT THAT THE CONDENSER HAD A LEAK. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A BIG PROBLEM

BRAKES FAILED. I WAS BACKING INTO MY GARAGE AND THE PEDAL BECAME REALLY HARD TO PUSH. I ALMOST DID NOT GET STOPPED BEFORE I HIT THE WALL.

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON WHILE BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT, MY BRAKES BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. THE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO PRESS AND WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE RESULT WAS THE VEHICLE ROLLING DOWN AN INCLINED PARKING LOT AND HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. NORMAL BRAKING HAD RESUMED WHEN LEAVING THE ACCIDENT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FOR THE BRAKES TO BECOME UNRESPONSIVE AT LOW SPEEDS. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO THE SAME SITUATION HAPPENED DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT. BRAKES BECAME EXTREMELY FIRM AND UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. NO DAMAGE RESULTED FROM THAT INCIDENT. AFTER READING SEVERAL MESSAGE BOARDS, IT APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT RESULTS IN REPLACEMENT OF MULTIPLE POWER BRAKING COMPONENTS. I CURRENTLY FEEL EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT MY BRAKES DID NOT FAIL 5 MINUTES EARLIER WHILE PICKING UP MY CHILD FROM SCHOOL.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OTHER RECALL RELATED SERVICE. I FURTHER REQUESTED THEY CHECK THE HVAC, AS IT STOPPED WORKING APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO. I HAD IT RECHARGED ONCE, AND THE CHARGE FAILED TO HOLD. THE GMC DEALERSHIP IN MOBILE, AL EXPLAINED THEY HAVE RECEIVED A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT FAILURES OCCURRING TO THE AC SYSTEM. HE EXPLAINED IT CENTERS AROUND FAILURE OF A WELD IN THE COILS. HE STATED THE REPAIR COSTS APPROXIMATELY $1,300.00 AT THE DEALERSHIP...HE WAS DISCOUNTING THE COST TO $950.00 TO COMPETE WITH THE LOCAL VEHICLE AC SHOP WHICH CHARGES APPROX $800.00 FOR THE SAME SERVICE. HE ADVISED HE WAS NOT AWARE OF A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM AND FURTHER ADVISED HE WAS SURPRISED GM HADN'T RECALLED, AS IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM. I AM FILING A FORMAL COMPLAINT IN HOPES OTHERS HAVE DONE THE SAME, AS GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS FAILURE.

BRAKES FAILED TO RESER AT LOW SPEEDS, RESULTING IN NEAR COLLISION. BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND UNRESPONSIVE. HAS ALSO HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY, WAS TOLD BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILURE IS THE CAUSE. WAS NOTIFIED THIS DOES NOT QUALIFY UNDER VEHICLE WARRANTY DESPITE READING OF MULTIPLE REPORTS OF FAILURE, TECHNICAL BULLETIN RELEASE, AND IMMEDIATE SAFETY ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING 1-10 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS AND FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

CASE 3:18-CV-00096 BILLY FRANK AND JOHN O'BRIEN, ON BEHALF OF THEMSELVES AND ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED. THIS OUTLINES THE ISSUE IN DETAIL. HTTPS://WWW.LIEFFCABRASER.COM/PDF/GM_AC_SYSTEM_COMPLAINT.PDF

VEHICLE'S BRAKES BECOME STIFF AT LOW RPM CAUSING DIFFICULTIES STOPPING.

BACKING UP THE TRUCK THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP LIKE I LOST POWER I ALMOST HIT MY DOG AND THE GARAGE IT WAS VERY SCARY

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SLOW DRIVING IN PARKING LOTS I HAVE LOST POWER ASSIST BRAKING AND ALMOST HIT A CAR PARKED IN THE SPOT IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE READ ONLINE ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP AND AM THINKING THAT IS MY ISSUE. MY BRAKE PEDAL AFTER A FEW PUMPS WILL GET SUPER STIFF. ON EVERY OCCASION THAT THIS HAPPENED IT WAS SLOW MOVING ADJUSTING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND HAD PUMPED THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES. THE PEDAL THEN BECOMES STILL AND PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT GET THE BRAKING POWER AS EXPECTED.

WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS IF YOU TAP THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WON'T DEPRESS AND THE TRUCK WILL KEEP ROLLING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M TRYING TO PARK USUALLY. I WAS BACKING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND IT DIDN'T STOP AFTER TAPING THE BRAKE PEDAL 3 TIMES. I HIT THE TELEPHONE POLE WITH REAR BUMPER WHICH BENT THE BODY OF THE LEFT REAR FENDER ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE TAILGATE TO NOT OPEN. MY GMC DEALER REPLACED THE FAULTY BOOSTER PUMP FOR $1029.35 AND I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR 2 DAYS.

THE PAINT ON MY 2015 GMC SIERRA IS BUBBLING AND PEELING. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS A CONSISTENT DEFECT ON MY YEAR VEHICLE. I CONTACTED GMC AND MY DEALER THORSON GMC IN PASADENA CALIFORNIA. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THORSON GMC DON SCHWARTZ HAD HIS BODY SHOP LOOK AT THE PAINT ON MY TRUCK AND HIS RESPONSE TO ME WAS THAT THE PAINT ON THE CHIPPING AREAS ON MY TRUCK, BOTH REAR DOORS AND THE ROOF, WAS EXTREMELY THIN AND THAT HE WOULD TRY TO GET GMC TO REPAINT MY DOORS AND ROOF AT THEIR EXPENSE. TWO WEEKS LATER MR. SCHWARTZ CALLS ME BACK AND TELLS ME THAT GMC IS ONLY WILLING TO PAY 40% OF A $5000 PAINT REPAIR AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $3140 IF I WANTED MY CHIPS REPAIRED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO PAY FOR AN OBVIOUS FACTORY DEFECT. ADDITIONALLY I REALLY FEEL FOR THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FACING THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE GM DIDN'T PAINT THEIR VEHICLES CORRECTLY

BRAKE VACUUM PUMP BOOSTER. FIRST STARTED WHEN DRIVING UNDER 5 MPH. THE BRAKES WERE HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND WOULD NOT STOP THE TRUCK PROPERLY. DID THIS FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS. THEN DRIVING GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE AND APPLIED BRAKES GOING 60 MPH THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. COULD BARLEY STOP. SAME ISSUE HAS WHEN DRIVING SLOW. NOW THE BRAKES WILL NOT WORK AT ANY SPEED. THEY TRUCK IS UNDRIVABLE UNTIL IT GETS FIXED.

POWER LOCKS NOT LOCKING ALL DOORS. COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH A CAR JACKING OR CHILD PROOF LOCKS. ON MY 3 LOCK ALREADY 42000 MILES. I DON'T FEEL SAFE

2015 GMC SIERRA SLE / 60K MILES / PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS...NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM NUMEROUS OTHERS, I'M IN THE SAME BOAT. ILLUMINATION IN GENERAL, DRIVING IN RURAL AREAS, DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, MAKING TURNS (SIDE STREETS), ETC., IS HORRIBLE, UNSAFE, NERVE-RACKING AND TROUBLESOME. SURE, THE HEADLIGHTS LOOK SNAZZY, BUT PERFORM ABOUT AS WELL AS MY LAWN TRACTOR'S HEADLIGHTS. I SEE THERE'S A TSB REGARDING THE SITUATION AND, MUCH TO MY DISMAY, I HAVE TO PAY FOR SAID PARTS/LABOR TO CORRECT AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW/SNAFU. AM I CRAZY FOR THINKING THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE? EVEN MORE SHOCKING, IT APPEARS THE BCM REPROGRAMMING (MARGINAL RESULTS) AND LAMP REPLACEMENT IS PROBLEMATIC (INCREASED VOLTAGE TO A BULB/LAMP SHORTENS ITS LIFE CONSIDERABLY). A VEHICLE THAT COSTS 30-40-50K SHOULD NOT HAVE GARBAGE TECHNOLOGY. ON THE PLUS SIDE, AT 48 YEARS YOUNG, MY VISION REMAINS 20/20 AND I DO NOT REQUIRE VISION CORRECTION. THE WIFE, MY 2 KIDS (OF DRIVING AGE) AND MY NEIGHBOR CONCUR - THESE HEADLIGHTS SUCK. I LOVE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE VEHICLE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE INSTEAD OF SPENDING $200 FOR THE TSB, I'LL TRY MY LUCK WITH AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENTS FOR $300. VIA MULTIPLE ONLINE VEHICLE FORUMS, MOST WHO'VE GONE THE ROUTE OF TSB ARE MARGINALLY IMPRESSED AND EVERYONE ELECTING TO GO WITH AFTERMARKET IS COMPLETELY SATISFIED...THAT ALONE SHINES A SPOTLIGHT ON THE LACK OF VISIBILITY BOTH THE NHTSA AND GM ARE PROVIDING THE CONSUMER. MAYBE INSTEAD OF PAYING SUITS MILLIONS PER YEAR TO PRODUCE SUBPAR VEHICLES,

VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE TRUCK WHILE GOING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED 5 TO 10 MPH. HAD TO FORCEFULLY APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET IT TO STOP STILL REQUIRED MORE STOPPING DISTANCE. BRAKES DID NOT BECOME FULLY FUNCTIONAL UNTIL AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND SHUTTING THE VEHICLE DOWN WAITING FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND BRAKE WERE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS EVENT OCCURED AT APPROXIMATELY 46,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. FOLLOWING DAY BROUGHT THE TRUCK INTO THE LOCAL GMC DEALER AND VERIFIED THAT THE TRUCK HAS A BRAKING PROBLEM FOUND A LEAKING BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER.

AT LOW SPEED AND ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS, THE BRAKES HAVE SEEMED TO LOSE POWER AND IT REQUIRED A LOT OF BRAKE PRESSURE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE, MY GARAGE, ETC. IT HAD BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST MONTH OR SO. WENT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP AT A COST OF APPROX $600.

THE BULBS IN THE TAIL LIGHTS CORRODE IN PLACE DUE TO EXCESS ROAD GRIME (SALT, SAND, ETC.) BEING SPLASHED UP ON THEM. THIS CAUSES THEM TO BURN OUT PREMATURELY AND REMOVAL IS IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO THE CORROSION OF THE BULB INTO THE SOCKET. THIS RESULTS IN HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS. ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP (WEST HERR), THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT GM ISN'T COVERING. SO, I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW WIRING HARNESS OUT OF POCKET IN ORDER TO REPLACE ONE OF THE TAIL LIGHT BULBS.

VACUUM PUMP FAILED AT 58000 MILES. LOST BRAKE ASSIST AT PARKING LOT SPEEDS. COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

THE BRAKES AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED (1-10 MPH) PARTIALLY GIVES OUT WHICH PROLONGS THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE ABS KICKS IN BUT FOR NO REASON. MUST STRONGLY PUSH DOWN ON THE PEDAL TO GET VEHICLE TO STOP, WHICH STILL REQUIRES ADDITIONAL STOPPING DISTANCE. HAS OCCURRED SPORADICALLY FROM MID-2018 TO MARCH 2019. NO RESOLUTION THROUGH DEALERSHIP.

BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. REPLACED BRAKES ON ALL 4 WHEELS, BUT TO NO AVAIL. THEN REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND STILL NO BRAKES. MY FENCE POLE AND MAILBOX STOPPED MY VEHICLE.

UNDER BODY COATING IS PEELING ON A BRAND NEW TRUCK. ITS RUSTING BECAUSE THE STEEL IS COMPLETELY EXPOSED.

WHEN I FIRST GOT THE TRUCK THE BRAKES OPERATED PERFECTLY FINE AFTER ABOUT THREE DAYS THE BRAKES ON THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK WOULD LOCK UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. AFTER TWO SETS OF CALIPERS TWO SETS OF BRAKE PADS A SET OF ROTORS A TWO WEEKS GO BY WITH THE MECHANIC TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK. THEY THEN REPLACE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, THERE WAS NO IMPROVEMENT. TURNS OUT TO BE THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED ALONG WITH THE HYDRAULIC ABS CONTROL UNIT. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON WHATSOEVER THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME THE BRAKES WERE LOCKED UP THE ABS LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON UNTIL THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED INDICATING THAT THE ABS CONTROL UNIT WAS ALSO BAD. NOW I AM EXPERIENCING A TICKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE TICKING OCCURS AT IDLE END AS THE THROTTLE IS BEING ACTIVATED. HOWEVER THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION AS OF WHY IT COULD BE MAKING THIS TICKING NOISE OR IS JUST UNWILLING TO SAY ANYTHING .

THIS COMPLAINT IS REGARDING EXCESSIVE SURFACE RUST ON NOT ONLY THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK, BUT ON CRITICAL ENGINE COMPONENT CLAMPS IN THE ENGINE BAY. ANY SCREW STYLE HOSE CLAMP IN MY ENGINE BAY ARE RUSTED WORSE THAN MY OTHER 9 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 102,000 MILES ON IT. I WASH MY TRUCK, INCLUDING UNDERCARRIAGE, PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE WINTER TO TRY AND KEEP THE SALT OFF. MY TRUCK IS A 2015 WITH 40,000 MILES, AND JUST RECENTLY, THE RUST HAD COMPLETELY EATEN THROUGH THE LOWER RADIATOR HOSE CLAMP CAUSING ALL THE ENGINE COOLANT TO LEAK OUT. I NOTICED THE REST OF THE CLAMPS WITHIN THE ENGINE BAY TO BE IN THE SAME CONDITION, ALONG WITH THE FRAME, AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. IT IS CLEARLY ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THEY FAIL WHILE I AM DRIVING, WHICH COULD CAUSE A FAILURE OF ANY SYSTEM USING ONE OF THESE RUSTED CLAMPS, SUCH AS THE BRAKE LINES, POWER STEERING LINES, OIL LINES, OR TRANSMISSION FLUID LINES.
