2015 GMC Sierra 2500 complaints

PASSENGER SEAT BELT DOES NOT ALLOW FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT AFTER BREAKS ARE APPLIED WITH CONSTRICTION OF PASSENGER . ONLY WAY THAT OWNER OR PASSENGER CAN RELEASE THE SEAT BELT LOCK MECHANISM IS TO UNLOCK THE SEAT BELT WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION CAUSING SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE PASSENGER. OWNER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND GIVEN ESTIMATE OF $950+ TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

THE TIRE SENSOR ALERTED OUTSIDE OF ALTOONA PA ON CORRIDOR 99. WE CALLED SERVICE, THEY CHANGED THE TIRE THAT MIRACULOUSLY HAD NOT BLOWN APART. THERE WAS A HAND SIZE BUBBLE ON THE INSIDE AND THE TIRE WAS SEPARATED AT THE RIM ALL AROUND IT. WE CALLED GOOD YEAR AND GOT A CLAIM # AND SETUP TO HAVE TIRE REPLACED IN FLORIDA. REMAINING TIRES ALL HAD SEPARATED ABOVE THE RIM AND COULD HAVE BLOWN. THESE TIRES WERE ROTATED AND CHECKED EVERY 5000 MILES. GOOD YEAR HAS THE TIRES AND SAYS THEY WILL INVESTIGATE. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO OTHERS THAT AREN'T AWARE OF THE "FLUKE" AS THE GY MANAGER CALLED IT. WE HAVE PIX OF AFFECTED TIRES BUT ARE UNSURE OF HOW TO UPLOAD THEM.

RIGHT REAR TURN SIGNAL BOTTOM SOCKET HEATS UP AND CAUSES AN OPEN TO THE TOP TURN SIGNAL SOCKET SO THE TOP TURN SIGNAL QUITS WORKING AND CAUSES THE SYSTEM TO HYPER FLASH.AND INDICATE INOPERATIVE RIGHT REAR TURN SIGNAL IN MESSAGE CENTER. ONLY REPAIR IS TO REPLACE WIRING HARNESS AND SOCKETS. SYSTEM WORKS FINE IN COLD TEMPERATURES AS THE SOCKET DOES NOT HEAT UP ENOUGH. HAPPENS WITH VEHICLE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. CONTACTED GM ABOUT IT AND GOT NOWHERE.

I WAS DRIVING A GMC SIERRA 2500 (2015) TRUCK ON A ROAD (SPEED LIMIT 65 MPH) AND WAS STOPPED TO MAKE A LEFT-HAND TURN INTO A STATE PART. A DRIVER HIT ME IN THE REAR AT A HIGH SPEED. THE POWDER FROM THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENTS FILLED THE TRUCK CAP BUT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

THE AIR CONDITIONER QUIT 350 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD.

WHILE SLOWING DOWN MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN IT WILL NOT TURN. IT'S AS IF THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONS FOR A SECOND. IT CAUSED ME TO "OVERSHOOT" A PARKING SPACE IN THE CITY AND HAVE TO BACK UP AND TRY AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH GMC TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THE TRUCK IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I DROVE IN A SNOW STORM LAST NIGHT AND I COULDN'T SEE AHEAD OF ME. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 45MPH.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TO DIM AND UNSAFE ON DARK MOUNTAIN ROADS SINCE NEW.

MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY ROAD. I LOST POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, EVERYTHING. OTHER MOTORISTS WERE SWERVING TO AVOID ME. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A GM DEALER, AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE FUEL INJECTOR PUMP. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE, AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE! THIS SHOULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN SINCE IT'S CAUSING VEHICLES TO SIMPLY STOP RUNNING AT ANY GIVEN SPEED ON ANY GIVEN HIGHWAY!

POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT ON LOW SPEED, LOW ENGINE RPM, RIGHT HAND TURNS. I HAVE HAD VEHICLE TO DEALER TO HAVE ISSUE FIXED ON MAY 16, 2017. THEY INDICATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. MODEL YEAR 2014 HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT NOT 2015 MODEL YEAR TRUCKS

HEAD LIGHTS ARE SO POOR WHEN DRIVING IN RURAL AREAS AND POORLY LIT AREAS THAT THE LATERAL LIGHTING IS SO POOR THAT YOU ARE LEFT TO GUESSING WHERE AND WHAT YOU ARE TURNING INTO, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO ALL, DEALER WHERE PURCHASED NEW STATS THERE IS NO FIX, ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 2500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REVERSED WITH A TRAILER ATTACHED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRAILER CRASHED INTO THE AWNING OF THE RESIDENCE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED EVIDENCE OF BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE BRAKE BOOSTER, WHICH ALLOWED BRAKE FLUID TO ENTER THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PERFORMANCE CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 3222 BEVERLY PIKE, ELKINS, WV 26241, TEL: (304) 591-1077) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS LEAKING AND WAS 1,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,023.

SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHILE PULLING OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. GMC INFORMED ME THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT A SLOW SPEED AND AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BECAUSE FOOT WAS ON BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR AT SAME TIME.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE UNBELIEVABLY INEFFICIENT. THEY LIGHT A NARROW PATH ABOUT 30 YARDS IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS SCARY ESPECIALLY IN THE RAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30.

DROVE OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE THERE WAS VIRTUALLY NO VISIBILITY IN A DARK SUBDIVISION. GMC INITIALLY DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POOR HEADLIGHTS --I STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT SINCE THE $60,000.00 DENALI TRUCK WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN THE DARK!!GMC EVENTUALLY SAID THEY HAD A "BULLETIN" ON THE PROBLEM AND THEY REPLACED THE BULB AND RECALIBRATED THE LIGHTS. ABOUT A 15-20% IMPROVEMENT--I STILL WILL NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK AT NIGHT AS IT IS STILL UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE EXTREMELY DIM AND PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM VIEWING THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT A CRASH COULD OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS SERVICED FOR A MANUFACTURER UPDATE RELATED TO THE HEADLIGHTS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. ...UPDATED 12/28/16 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE LIGHTS ARE OK. HOWEVER, THEY COULD BE A LOT BRIGHTER, BECAUSE IT IS STILL HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT. UPDATED 01/03/17.*JB

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY POOR.IT IS EASY TO OVER DRIVE THEM.DARK ROADS OR RAIN OR SNOW IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

THE LOW BEAM PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS ARE INADEQUATE, ESPECIALLY IN RURAL AREAS. THERE IS A DISTINCTIVE CUTOFF OF LIGHT, CALL IT A LINE WHEN ON LOW BEAM, AND BEYOND THAT LINE THEIR IS NO ILLUMINATION WHATSOEVER AS YOU WOULD BE USED TO WITH OTHER LIGHTING DESIGNS. YOU CAN NOT SEE ANY SIGNS, POSSIBLE ANIMALS, OR ANYTHING ELSE AS YOU ARE USED TO SEEING IN THE LIGHT THAT TYPICALLY EXTENDS BEYOND OTHER LOW BEAM SYSTEMS. I UNDERSTAND THAT GM HAS A TSB FOR THE CONDITION BUT IT IS NOT ADVERTISED AND FROM WHAT I CAN DETERMINE ON THE NET DOES NOT WORK REGARDLESS AND IS ONLY A BAND AID FIX. THESE LIGHTS ARE A SAFETY HAZARD. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO AN ACCIDENT I HAD. ..UPDATED 01/04/17 *BF

WHILE DRIVING ON DRY PAVEMENT, DRIVER MOVED KNOB ON VEHICLE TO SWITCH FROM AWD TO 2WD. VEHICLE WENT INTO AN IMMEDIATE SPIN WHICH COULD NOT BE CORRECTED. (OR MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED NEXT). VEHICLE CAREENED OVER TWO LANES ("PRESUMABLY" WOULD NOT STOP - DRIVER DOES NOT RECALL TRYING TO HIT THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY OR AT ALL AS THE "NEXT PROBLEM" WAS IN FRONT OF DRIVER AND DRIVER WAS FOCUSING ON SURVIVAL).. DRIVER QUICKLY SMASHED THROUGH METAL SAFETY BARRIER AND CRASHED THROUGH TREES OVER A 30 FT EMBANKMENT INTO A RESERVOIR. DRIVER ABLE TO OPEN ROOF WHILE "STEERING" WITH LEFT HAND AND OPENING ROOF WITH RIGHT HAND AS DRIVER KNEW WATER WAS FAST APPROACHING. DRIVER SMASHED THROUGH TREES, TRUCK WAS DEMOLISHED BUT DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OUT OF CAR ALIVE AS CAR TOOK ON WATER THROUGH OPENED ROOF. VIN NUMBER REPORTS BRAKE ISSUES. DRIVER NOT AWARE OF "BRAKE RECALL" OR ANY ISSUES AND DID NOT REPORT BRAKE ISSUE AS AN ISSUE ON SCENE AS INCIDENT HAPPENED SO FAST AND DRIVER WAS ATTEMPTING TO STAY ALIVE AND WAS EVER FOCUSED ON THE NEXT 'OBSTACLE" AS IT WAS IN THE WAY PER DESCRIPTION HEREIN. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AS EXPECTED AND DRIVER EXITED WATER-FILLED VEHICLE VIA OPENED ROOF UNHARMED. GMC SENT INVESTIGATORS OUT BUT NO REPORT HAS BEEN ISSUED TO DRIVER. CHUBB LEAD INVESTIGATOR ACCOMPANIED THE GMC INVESTIGATOR AND REPORTED "NO VEHICLE MALFUNCTION". AFTER THIS INCIDENT, AND READING OTHERS' PROBLEMS, DRIVER IS NOW NOT CONVINCED OF THAT REPORT.. NO MENTION OF BRAKE RECALL SEEMS TO HAVE B

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE TRUCK ARE A SERIOUS HAZARD. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT YOU CAN ONLY SEE ABOUT 20FT OUT IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IT'S EVEN WORSE WHEN IS RAINING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 2500. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME VERY DIM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 27,890.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT/UPSLOPE ON A DIRT ROAD THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED IN MY 2015 SIERRA 2500 HD PICKUP TRUCK. THERE WAS NO IMPACT AND ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE TO THE EXTERIOR OR UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT (IF ON A BUSY STREET I WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET OUT OF ROADWAY)

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT SUFFICENT. NIGHT DRIVING IS TERRIBLE, CAN NOT SEE ROAD. I HAVE SPOKEN TO GM SEVERAL TIMES. THEY CAME OUT WITH AN UP DATE, SAYING NEW BULBS AND REPOWER CONTROL MODULE, BUT THEY ARE STILL HORRIBLE. GM HAD THESE LIGHTS FOR TWO YEARS ON THE NEW BODY STYLE FOR THE SIERRA LINE, AND NOW HAVE SWITCHED TO LED HID'S. SO THE PEOPLE WHO OWN 2014 AND 2015 TRUCKS ARE STUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 2500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ADEQUATELY ILLUMINATE THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TCM AND BULBS WERE CHANGED PER TSB NUMBER: PIT5374 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE HEADLIGHTS OFFER VERY POOR PERFORMANCE AT NIGHT

I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF TEHACHAPI, CANNOT SEE A THING WHEN DRIVING THE MOUNTAIN ROADS. MAYBE 40-50 FEET IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK NOTHING TO THE SIDE. MAKING A TURN IS LIKE ALMOST DRIVING WITHOUT LIGHTS.

DRIVERS SIDE, IN-MIRROR (WITH EXTENDABLE, MANUAL, TRAILER MIRROR) TURN SIGNAL TOO BRIGHT OR SHOULD BE SHIELDED FROM DRIVERS EYES. BLINDINGLY BRIGHT FOR MAKING LEFT-HAND TURNS. PROBLEM WORSENS AS AMBIENT LIGHT IS REDUCED.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO LIGHT THE ROADWAY SUFFICIENTLY AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON DARK RURAL ROADS AND DURING HAZARDOUS WEATHER SITUATIONS SUCH AS RAIN OR FOG. THE DIM LIGHT DOES NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO EFFECTIVELY SEE ROAD HAZARDS, PEDESTRIANS, BICYCLISTS, ANIMALS OR OTHER OBSTACLES THAT MAY APPEAR AND THUS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILURE; THE TRUCK AT 45 MPH DEVELOPED A COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL GAUGES(TACH, SPEED, FUEL, TEMP) AND THEN 10-15 SECONDS LATER TWO LOUD NOISES FOLLOWED BY THE VEHICLE COMING TO A RAPID DECELERATION. THIS RESULTED IN THE WHEELS LOCKING UP AND SLIDING SIDEWISE. THE TRUCK ROLLED UP ON TO ITS LEFT TWO WHEELS AND THEN SLAMMED DOWN. IF THIS OCCURRED AT 75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE ROLLED. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT A GMC DEALERSHIP SINCE THEN. GMC HAS NO DATE OF IF OR WHEN THIS TRUCK CAN BE REPAIRED. THE "TCM" IS DEFECTIVE. IT WAS ON A CITY STREET, 45 MPH ZONE GOING STRAIGHT DOWN A GENTLE GRADE.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE GMC 2500 HD ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH. THE LIGHTS ARE NOT ABLE LIGHT ROADS WITHOUT STREET LIGHTS, MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS. FUEL FILTER HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I ASKED WITH THE LIFE OF A FUEL FILTER SHOULD BE I WAS TOLD BY THE GMC DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 15,000 MILES. IT IS POSSIBLE THERE IS A MALFUNCTION WITHIN THE SENOR FOR THE FUEL FILTER.

I BOUGHT A NEW 2015 GMC DOUBLE CAB 2500 HD Z71 4X4 PICK UP TRUCK IN MAY 2015 IT HAS FACTORY EQUIPPED LT 265X70X17 BRIDGESTONE DURAVIS 7 PLY TIRES. I TOOK IT ON A UNLOADED 9000 MILE ROAD TRIP AFTER ABOUT 7000 MILES I NOTICED THE TRUCK WAS NOT HANDLING LIKE IT SHOULD IT WANTED TO GO STRAIGHT THRU CURVES IT WONDERED AND PULLED LEFT OR RIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE GMC DEALER IN SPOKANE WASHINGTON THE FOUND THAT THE ALIGNMENT TOW-IN AND RIGHT SIDE CASTER WAS OFF. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST GM TRUCK THE LAST ONE I DROVE 93000 MILES AND NEVER NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT. WHILE DRIVING TO BEND OREGON THE PROBLEM REOCCURRED. I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVROLET GM DEALER IN BEND ALIGNMENT CHECK WAS OK THEY SAID IT MAY BE TIRE PRESSURE RELATED I AM USING THE RECOMMENDED COLD TIRE PRESSURE OF 65 PSI FRONT AND 70 PSI REAR UNLOADED NOT PULLING ANYTHING. UPON RETURNING TO PRESCOTT ARIZONA I TOOK IT TO TIMS GMC DEALER AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS OK. I EMAILED BRIDGSTONE THEY REFERRED ME TO THE PHOENIX BRIDGESTONE DEALER THEY SAID THE TIRES FOR THAT TRUCK SHOULD BE LT 245X75X17 FIRESTONE NOT BRIDGESTONE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHANGE THEM OUT BUT NEED AN OK FROM THE GMC DEALER. THE PRESCOTT TIMS GMC DEALER REFUSED TO ACCOMMODATE THE REQUEST. CHECKING WITH SEVERAL TIRE DEALERS IN PRESCOTT THE TIRE REQUIREMENTS FOR A 2500 TRUCK ARE A FULL 10 PLY TIRE NOT THE 7 PLY FACTORY INSTALLED TIRE. NOTE: THE BRIDGESTONE TIRE HAS A 2 PLY SIDEWALL..... A MICHELIN 10 PLY TIRE HAS A 3 PLY SIDEWALL THIS MAY BE PART OF THE PROBLEM. THE RIM WIDTH

HEADLIGHTS AREN'T WIDE ENOUGH MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN AND VERY DANGEROUS IN MOUNTAINOUS AREAS GMC FINALLY PUT BRIGHTER BULBS IN AND HASN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE MAY 2014 AND GM DOESN'T CARE.

THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHTING OF THE ROAD WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT . I HAVE TRIED TO WORK THROUGH GMC THEY CHANGED THE BULBS TO A DIFFERENT VENDOR BUT DIDN'T HELP. GMC NOW IN THE 2016 ARE USING HID BULBS THEY ALSO USED A DIFFERENT LIGHTING SYSTEM IN THE 2014 . THE LOCAL GMC DEALER AGREES THAT THE LIGHTING COULD LEAD TO POSSIBLE ACCIDENT . THE LUMEN OF THE BULBS ARE DOWN AROUND 1200 WHICH IS HALF OF THE NORMAL LUMENS TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE STOPPING OR VISUAL OF THE ROAD. PLEASE HELP US OWNERS AS THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AFTER DARK. *DT

HAVING TIRE ISSUES WITH MY NEW 2015 GMC 2500 4WD PICK UP THE BRIDGESTONE TIRES THAT ARE INSTALLED AS FACTORY EQUIPMENT SIZE 265X70X17 LOAD RANGE 'E' THEY HAVE A TENDENCY TO WONDER AND AT TIMES AND NOT FOLLOWING A CURVE. THE ALIGNMENT WAS OUT AND REALIGNED BY GMC AT 7000 MILES. THE PROBLEM DIDN'T GO AWAY. I CALLED A BRIDGSTONE DEALER AND HE SAID THE TIRE SIZE WAS INCORRECT THEY NEED TO BE 245X75X17 LOAD RANGE 'E' FIRESTONE TIRES.GM IS REFUSSING TO PUT ON THE CORRECT SIZE. I CHECKED WITH MICHELIN AND THEY RECOMMEND 245X75X17 LOAD RANGE 'E' TIRES. THE NEW 2016 GM 2500 VEHICALS HAVE 245X75X17 LOAD RANGE 'E'.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON 2015 SIERRA 2500HD DENALI ARE SAFETY HAZARDS THEY DO NOT ILLUMINATE FAR ENOUGH AHEAD OF YOU AT NIGHT TO SEE ROAD HAZARDS IN FRONT OF YOU AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS, THEY ARE ESPECIALLY LACKING ON RURAL ROADS, WHERE ANIMALS MIGHT BE ON THE ROADWAY. THEY BARELY ILLUMINATE (VERY DIM AND UNREADABLE), THE LICENSE PLATE ON A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU TRAVELING AT REGULAR NIGHT TIME DISTANCES, GIVING YOU VERY LITTLE REACTION TIME TO REACT IN CASE OF HAZARDS. WE HAVE A NEW VEHICLE LESS THAN 3000 MILES AND FIND THIS VEHICLE VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT OR IN POOR LIGHTING. THE DEALER TOLD US THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, CONSIDERING TRYING TO FIND SOME TYPE OF AFTER MARKET LIGHTING TO ADD TO THE VEHICLE TO AID IN NIGHT TIME DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON RURAL HIGHWAYS, TOWING MY FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER, IN AZ, CA AND OR WITH NO OTHER LIGHT SOURCES NEARBY THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIMMER THAN THOSE I AM USED TO MAKING WILD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALONG THE ROAD DIFFICULT TO SEE. THE INSTANCES WHEN I NOTICED THIS WERE ALL IN SEPTEMBER 2015 . THIS MORNING MY DEALER, ROBIDEAUX MOTORS IN COEUR D'ALENE, ID, CHECKED OUT THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THAT THE LIGHTS APPEARED THE SAME AS OTHER SIMILAR MODELS AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE (REPAIR ORDER #193940). I WAS NOT SURPRISED AS I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS SIMILAR REPORTS ON INTERNET BLOGS AND I EVEN UNDERSTAND GM IS BEING SUED OVER THE SAME ISSUE (2013 AND 2014 MODELS) IN A CASE IN CALIFORNIA.

I HAVE THE TOW MIRRORS AND THEY HAVE LED LIGHTS IN THE MIRRORS FOR BLINKERS AND THEY ARE EXTREMELY BRIGHT! WHEN YOU USE YOUR TURN SIGNAL AT NIGHT THEY ARE SO BRIGHT THAT THEY MAKE IT SO YOU CAN NOT SEE ON COMING TRAFFIC VERY WELL FROM THE SIDES OF THE PICKUP WHILE AT A INTERSECTION OR WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO CHANGE LANES. IN MY OPINION THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE BLINKER LEDS SHOULD NOT SHINE DIRECTLY INTO THE DRIVERS EYES. *TR

VEHICLE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS HAVE VERY POOR COVERAGE AND BRIGHTNESS. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THEY BARELY LIGHT THE ROAD IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. COVERAGE SIDE TO SIDE IS VERY WEAK. ADDITIONALLY WHEN IT IS RAINING OUT, IT IS LIKE DRIVING WITH NO HEADLIGHTS ON AT ALL. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE INDICATED THIS IS COMMON COMPLAINT ON 2014 SIERRA 1500S AND ALL 2015 SIERRAS SINCE THE LAST REDESIGN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE DEFROSTER SYSTEM FAILED TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. IN ADDITION, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAUSED ICE BUILD UP. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,600.
