TAKATA RECALL WENT BACK TO LOCAL CHEVY GMC DEALER AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME IN ALMOST 3 YEARS SINCE I RECEIVED MY RECALL LETTER FROM GM. THEY LOOKED UP RECALL AND AGAIN TOLD ME THAT IT HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT THEY HAVEN'T AGREED ON WHOSE GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM TIRED OF WAITING AND DRIVING A TRUCK THAT IN MY OPINION IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THIS SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. I WANT THIS FIXED BECAUSE 3 YEARS IS LONG ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT WHOSE PAYING AND GET THE JOB DONE. IF IT DOSEN'T GET RESOLVED SOON I WILL HAVE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST GM. I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DAILY SO IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

MY SIERRA DEVELOPED A NOISE ON DECELERATION. TOOK IT TO THE GMC DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT HAD A WORN CAM. $5500 TO REPAIR, $7750 TO REPLACE ENGINE. I KNEW THAT A WORN CAM WOULD CAUSE LIFTER NOISE ALL THE TIME SO THAT WAS WRONG INFO. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND OUT THIS TRUCK HAS ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT. WHAT HAPPENED WAS A FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS TRUCK ALWAYS HAD HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. I DEACTIVATED THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. THE TRUCK RUNS ON ALL 8 CYLINDERS, IS COMPLETELY QUIET AND NO LONGER USES OIL. IT IS BETTER THAN NEW. I ALSO FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MY AND PAID FOR EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. THIS ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A SCAM TO FALSELY INCREASE FUEL MILEAGE AND TO RIP OFF CUSTOMERS WHEN IT GOES BAD. IT CAN BE DEACTIVATED WITH A $175 CHIP.

CRACKED DASHBOARD EFFECTING AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. VEHICLE STATIONARY AT RESIDENCE IN DRIVEWAY.

NOTHING WAS WET THOUGH. NOW THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP. SEEMS LIKE IF THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A DEFECT IN THE FRONT AIRBAGS IT IS A CHANCE THE SIDE ONES ARE ALSO BAD. THEY HANG LIKE CURTAINS. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT SINCE THE SEATBELTS LOCKED ALSO. THE COST TO REPAIR WOULD BE $6000. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS NO FAULT OF OURS. THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH TIME PUT INTO TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED. WE CANT E THE ONLY ONES THIS HAPPENED TO. SUGGESTION?

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL #2049151 GM # 16V381, IN 2016. I'VE CALLED MCKINNEY TX GMC BUICK NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS & HAVE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. TODAY I CALLED & SPOKE WITH A GM REP (PH# 866-996-9463). I WAS TOLD THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL & IS SAFE TO DRIVE (HE READ ME A LONG STATEMENT THAT I'M SURE GM TELLS THEM TO READ). WHEN I ASKED HIM WHY, WHEN I ENTER MY VIN IN THEIR WEBSITE SEARCH, IT SAYS MY VEHICLE IS AT RISK, HE COULDN'T ANSWER. SINCE RECEIVING THE ORIGINAL NOTICE OVER 2 YEARS AGO, I'VE PURPOSELY LIMITED THE MILES DRIVEN ON MY 10-YR-OLD TRUCK, BECAUSE OF THEIR RECALL LETTER. NOW, THEY'RE SAYING THE LETTER WAS WRONG, BUT THEY'RE NOT WILLING TO SEND ME SOMETHING STATING THAT. I HAVE ZERO FAITH IN WHAT THAT GM REP TOLD ME, & I'M REALLY HESITANT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. PLEASE ADVISE IF MY VEHICLE IS, INDEED SAFE TO DRIVE, OW WHETHER I NEED TO CONTINUE PURSUING GM FOR REPAIRS. IF THEY CAN PUT SAFE AIRBAGS IN A NEW TRUCK, WHY CAN'T THEY PUT ONE IN MINE?

REGARDING RECALL FOR GM 14515B. OR NHTSA 14V614 I HAVE A 2008 GMC SIERRA SLT WITH A 5.3 LITRE ENGINE. MY VEHICLE FAILS TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WHEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER THEY CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE PART 20759945 THE SAME PART NUMBER THAT IS MENTIONED IN THE CURRENT RECALL. I ALSO HAVE SAME CONDITION MENTIONED IN CURRENT RECALL. BUT WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL GYM CANADA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DEALER JUST SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VIN BUT CAN'T EXPLAIN WHAT VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED BY RECALL AND WHY. MY VEHICLE FALLS WITHIN THE YEARS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I AM SENDING THIS BECAUSE I THINK MORE VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL THAN ORIGINALLY MENTIONED. IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THIS PLEASE. I JUST FIND IT WEIRD HOW THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES THE SAME CONDITION AND THE SAME PART IS AFFECTED BUT FOR SOME VEHICLES IT'S NOT A RECALL. WILL SOMEBODY HAVE TO DIE FOR THIS TO BECOME A CONCERN. THANKS

"TAKATA RECALL" CHECKED TODAY WITH WILSON COUNTY MOTORS IN LEBANON, TN AND THEY STILL HAVE NO REMEDY FOR REPLACING AIRBAGS FOR THIS VEHICLE. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
TAKATA RECALL: GMC HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WAY TO LONG AND STILL TO THIS DATE CANNOT GIVE ME A DATE OR TIME FRAME WHEN THEY CAN FIX MY ISSUE. THIS SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN CORRECTED. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THE EPIDEMIC DASH CRACKING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY AN ENGINEERING ISSUE AND GMC SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT IN THEIR DASHES. MY DASH CRACKS ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER GMC OWNERS AND WHEN THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FLAW, THEY SHOULD CORRECT IT. DOWN AT THE BOTTOM WHERE IS SAY WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? I KNOW IF HAPPENED IT 2010, BUT NOT A SPECIFIC DAY OR MONTH.

"TAKATA RECALL" RECALL 49152. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT , SEVERAL TIMES, W/ GMC ABOUT THE RECALL SINCE RECEIVING THE LETTER IN EARLY 2016. WHEREAS WE HAVE YET TO EXPERIENCE ANY ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK, IT IS APPROACHING 10 YEARS OLD AND WE ARE AFRAID IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. WE DONT WANT TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF RUPTURE. TODAY WE WERE TOLD THAT A DECISION IS TO BE MADE BY THE END OF DEC. 2017 THAT MAY RELIEVE GMC OF THIS BURDEN ALTOGETHER WHICH WE FIND COMPLETELY UNSATISFACTORY. WE WOULD LIKE THIS REPLACED AS IT IS THE RIGHT AND SAFE THING TO DO & AT GMC'S EXPENSE. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO BESIDES SALE/TRADE IT IN, ONLY TO PASS THE PROBLEM ON TO SOMEONE ELSE? THANK YOU
AIRBAG RECALL ISSUED MAY 2016, DEALER (MEDVED CASTLE ROCK, CO) INDICATES 16 MONTHS LATER (NOVEMBER 2017) THAT IT STILL DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE COURTESY OF GM. THIS IS 3RD CALL TO DEALER TO FIX THIS CRITICAL RECALL.
TAKATA RECALL - BOUGHT 2008 TRUCK NEW AND I LIVE IN OKLAHOMA. IT IS VERY HOT HERE IN THE SUMMERS. HIGHER RISK IN HOT CLIMATES AND MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED APPROXIMATELY 9 YEARS. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER THREE TIMES OVER THE LAST 15 MONTHS AND THEY REFER ME TO GM CUST SVC. TODAY CUST SVC TELLS ME THE SAME CRAP - THEY HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT WHAT TO DO. IT'S SIMPLE - REPLACE THE INFLATORS NOW - ENOUGH SCREWING AROUND. SAFETY RECALL RECEIVED DATED JULY 2016. STILL NO PARTS AT DEALER. GM IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET AS LONG AS THEY CAN. IT IS TIME TO DO SOMETHING!
TAKATA RECALL REMEDY HAS STILL NOT BEEN COMPLETED. THE MANUFACTURER'S WEB SITE STATES, "RECALL INCOMPLETE - REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." THIS RECALL HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND STILL THERE IS NO REMEDY AND NO BODY CAN PROVIDE A TIME WHEN THERE WILL BE A REMEDY. AS A RESULT, THE RISKS ESCALATE. PLEASE HAVE THE MANUFACTURE REPAIR THE PROBLEM ASAP.
TAKATA IS GOING BANKRUPT. REPAIRS MUST BE DONE BY DEC. 27, 2017. WHEN I CONTACT THE DEALER THEY TELL ME THERE ARE NO PARTS RELEASE BY TAKATA TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE.

TAKATA INFLATORS: WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO PRODUCTION OF ANY NEW VEHICLES. IF AIR BAGS ARE STILL BEING INSTALLED, AS PER GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS AND SAFETY STANDARDS, THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY ENGINEERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH A RETROFIT. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FORCE THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS STILL ON RECALL.

GET ON THE BALL AND MAKE GM REPLACE THIS AIR BAG . SINCE WE RECEIVED MAIL THIS PAST SAT. THAT TK HOLDINGS HAS FILED BANKRUPTCY. SO I SUPPOSE THAT MEANS WE AS THE CONSUMER WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PART OURSELF. SINCE IT IS NOT OUR FAULT AS BUYERS THAT THIS COMPANY RIPPED US OFF. AS YOU CAN SEE I AM FRUSTRATED AT YOU AND OUR DEALER AND GM. NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO BUY FOREIGN GOODS INSTEAD OF AMERICAN MADE. PLEASE FIX THIS!

I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE WHICH HAS BEEN GARAGED SINCE DAY ONE. THE VEHICLE IS ALSO RUSTING THRU FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD.

"GMC DASH RECALL" MY 2008 GMC SIERRA DASH IS CRACKING AND I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON GOOGLE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. THE DASH IS CRACKED IN SUCH A WAY THAT AT A CERTAIN ANGLE I CAN SEE WIRES EXPOSED FROM THE AIRBAG COVER. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL TO FIX THE CRACKED DASH.

CRACKED DASHBOARD IN AREA AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG. COULD CAUSE DEBRIS WHEN OR IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. ALSO CRACKED ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON DRIVER SIDE.
DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. ONE CRACK IS ALONG THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE SECOND IS ALONG THE DRIVERS SIDE IN FRONT OF THE INSTRUMENT GLUSTER. THE FIRST CRACK APPEARED AS I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY AND THE OTHER WAS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. I AM WORRIED THAT THE AIRBAG CRACK COULD CAUSE SHARP PIECES OF THE DASH TO PROJECT IN THE CASE OF A DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG.

ALL FOUR POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED. FIRST THREE FAILED BEFORE REACHING 30000 MILES. DEALER ADVISED THEY WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I ARGUED WITH THEM, BY THE TIME MY TRUCK HAD 50000 MILES ALL FOUR HAD FAILED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36000 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE MILLIONS OF VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. GM WANTS $300 PER DOOR TO REPAIR. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY THEM $1200 FOR SOMETHING I PAID FOR WITH THE PRICE OF THE TRUCK.
TAKATA RECALL I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW THIS TYPE AIR BAG IS INSTALLED IN MYYEAR AND MODEL TRUCK HVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT THE MORE I HEAR ABOUT VEHICLES INVOLVED IN CRASHES AND THE INJURYS THAT HAVE ACCERD WORRYS ME WHY HAS GMC NOT HAD ARECALL ON THEM.

I HAVE A LARGE SECTION OF MY DASH PAD BROKEN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I ALSO HAVE A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED FROM ABUSE BUT FROM INFERIOR MATERIALS. IT APPEARED SOMETIME IN 2015 WITH ABOUT 130,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE NEW. MY CONCERN IS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, ALONG WITH THE DANGEROUS TAKATA AIRBAGS THAT I'M STILL WAITING TO BE REPLACED, WILL PLASTIC BE SENT THROUGH THE AIR FROM AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT?, OR WILL WE WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED TO GET GM TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION.BY THE WAY GM HAS SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE AND TOLD ME THEY ARE WAITING ON PARTS. THAT HAS BEEN OVER 3 MONTHS AGO. I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER TRUCK FOR AIRBAG RECALL.JUST FOR THE RECORD MY WIFES 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 RECEIVED A CRACK IN THE DASH AT ABOUT 80,000 MILES. THIS IS AN EPIDEMIC BUT I SURE GM WILL ESCAPE AGAIN JUST LIKE IN THE PAST. IT TAKES ONE SMALL FRAGMENT IN THE RIGHT PLACE SUCH AS AN EYE TO CHANGE SOMEONES LIFE FOREVER. JUST THINK IF IT WAS SOMEONE YOU LOVED SITTING IN THAT TRUCK.
A LIGHT FLICKERS ON OCCASION THAT LOOKS LIKE A AIRBAG WARNING. IT DOES NOT STAY ON LONG OR OFTEN.
THIS VEHICLE WAS ACQUIRED IN MARCH, 2016 WITH AN INTACT DASHBOARD, 142,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. OVER THE LAST 9 MONTHS MULTIPLE, PENETRATING CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE TOP OF THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD DUE TO CAUSE(S) UNKNOWN. THIS HAS GREATLY DIMINISHED THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE DASHBOARD TO THE POINT THAT AT LEAST ONE TOP PIECE OF THE DASHBOARD IS LOOSE DUE TO THE CRACKS. TWO CRACKS ARE IN THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD TOP AND ONE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. CURRENT MILES ON THE ODOMETER ARE 146,000. IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT DURING A CRASH, THE LIKELIHOOD IS VERY HIGH THAT PLASTIC FROM THE DASHBOARD COULD FRACTURE, BECOME AIRBORNE, AND RESULT IN INJURY TO OCCUPANT(S) OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO EITHER THE NORMAL DEPLOYMENT VELOCITY OF THE TAKATA PASSENGER AIRBAG, OR WORSE YET IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR FAILS TO FUNCTION AS DESIGNED AND ACTIVATES WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE. THIS VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO RECALL NHSTA #16V381, ISSUED 5/27/2016 FOR DEFECTIVE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS. FURTHER, THE VEHICLE HAS SPENT ITS ENTIRE OPERATING LIFE IN THE "ZONE A" HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY REGION (FLORIDA). IN AND OF ITSELF, THE CRACKING DASHBOARD PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD DURING A CRASH WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. HOWEVER, COMBINED WITH CONDITIONS RECORDED IN RECALL 16V381, I MAINTAIN THIS COMBINED HAZARD PRESENTS AN UNACCEPTABLE LIFE SAFETY RISK. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE NHTSA IMMEDIATELY INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAUSE OF THE NOTED DASHBOARD CRACKS ON BOTH GM AND GMC GMT900 TRUCK PRODUCTS, AND FURTHER RECOMMEND THAT A RECALL ACTION BE SUGGESTED TO GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION ON GMT900 VEHICLES REGISTERED IN "ZONE A" TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS. AS OF THIS DATE GM HAS NOT COMPLETED THE RECALL ACTION UNDER NHSTA #16V381 ON MY VEHICLE, THEREFORE THE ACCENTUATED HAZARD REMAINS UNABATED.

MY DASH CRACKED 5 YEARS AGO, I REPLACED WITH NEW FROM DEALER $1000.00 COST AND IT IS NOW CRACKED AGAIN. IN ADDITION I HAVE AN OUTSTANDING RECALL ON AIRBAGS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT GM DOES NOT HAVE PARTS TO REPLACE. SO NOW I COULD HAVE SHRAPNEL FROM AIRBAG AND SHRAPNEL FROM MY NEW $1000.00 DASH. WOW GM, GET IT TOGETHER AND GET THE AIRBAGS IN STOCK AND STOP USING INFERIOR MATERIALS ON $1000.00 DASH BOARDS.

MY DASHBOARD HAS SEVERAL CRACKS EXPOSING THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WITHIN THE DASH. THESE CRACKS ARE IN VARIOUS PLACES ACROSS THE ENTIRE DASH. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND IT IS CURRENTLY IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE DASH) I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIR BAG WERE TO BE DEPLOYED THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD WOULD EXPLODE AND EXPOSE MY PASSENGERS OR MYSELF TO ADDITIONAL HAZARDS WITHIN THE VEHICLE. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN MY DASH BOARD IS NOW EXPOSED TO ADDITIONAL HAZARDS DUE TO THE ADDITIONAL EXPOSURE TO THE SUN. I AM FILING THIS INCIDENT WITH THE HOPES THAT IT WILL HELP A RECALL TO BE ISSUED. I NOTICED THE FIRST SMALL CRACK IN 2011. I HAVE KEPT AN EYE ON IT OVER THE YEARS AND AS OF TODAY, THERE ARE EXPOSED OPENINGS IN THE DASH IN SEVERAL PLACES. UNTIL TODAY, I THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT HAVE JUST BEEN UNLUCKY, HOWEVER AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, IT IS APPARENT THAT I AM NOT ALONE, AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED UNDER A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO FILE THIS REPORT ON MY BEHALF. FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS NEEDED. BEST REGARDS. *TR

THE UPPER DASH PANEL CRACKED AFTER BEING PARKED OUTSIDE. I THOUGHT SOMEONE BROKE IN AND HIT IT WITH SOMETHING, IT IS CRACKED DOWN CENTER OF INSTRUMENT PANEL TOWARD WINDSHIELD THEN ACROSS TO AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. MY FEAR IS THAT IF THE AIR BAG THAT IS PENDING RECALL INFORMATION PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYS AND PASSENGERS COULD BE HIT BY PLASTIC SHRAPNEL. ANOTHER CONCERN IS A CHILD GETS HAND OR ARM INJURED BY SIMPLY PRESSING TOO HARD ON FLIMSY DASHBOARD. I AM A 100% SERVICE CONNECTED COMBAT VETERAN AND NEED TO SELL TRUCK TO PURCHASE A VAN FOR TRANSPORTATION. THE CRACKED DASH IS HINDERING THE SALE AT A DECENT PRICE.

COLLAPSED AFM LIFTER AT 108000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK. MY ENGINE WAS IDLING ROUGH AT LOW RPM. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD A COLLAPSED LIFTER ON THE #6 CYLINDER. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE OIL CHANGED REGULARLY AT THE DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE 4800 TO REPLACE ALL THE LIFTERS, 5300 IF THE CAM WAS BAD ALSO AND 7300 FOR A NEW ENGINE.
DASH CRACKING NEAR AIRBAG STORAGE AND ON DRIVERS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS HAS BEEN A PROGRESSIVE PROBLEM STARTING IN JANUARY OF 2016. VEHICLE IS GARAGED ON A REGULAR BASIS.
TICKING NOISE BEGAN ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHED ~100,000 MILES. INITIALLY, THE TICKING ONLY OCCURRED ONCE THE ENGINE WAS STARTED. AS TIME WENT ON, THE TICKING BECAME MORE FREQUENT, TO INCLUDE UPON ENGINE START AND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER LOAD/ACCELERATING. AT APPROXIMATELY 108,000 MILES, THE TICK BECAME CONSTANT WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. GMC DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED LIFTER, WHICH, APPARENTLY, HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM IN GM 5.3L ENGINES. A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW ENGINE, OR EVEN NEW LIFTERS FOR THAT MATTER, AT 100,000 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, WITH MANY CONSUMERS REPORTING IT AND GM ACKNOWLEDGING IT. VEHICLES WITH THESE ENGINES SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO.
2008 GMC SIERRA DENALI HAS 2 CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD, ONE BY THE AIRBAG AND THE SECOND OVER THE DRIVERS SIDE DASHBOARD. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURES DEFECT THAT GMC IS TOTALLY IGNORING. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE MAIMED OR KILLED BEFORE THEY TAKE REASONABLE ACCOUNTABILITY INSTEAD OF JUST DENYING EVERYONE UNTIL WE GO AWAY? WE NEED GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. THE DASH BOARD RATTLES AND SHAKES OVER EVERY LITTLE BUMP!
IN COLD WEATHER, THE BRAKES MAY STAY ENGAGED, EVEN UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS WILL HAPPEN SPORADICALLY, AND USUALLY UPON STARTING FOR THE FIRST TIME AT A GIVEN DAY. I WILL START DRIVING, THEN BRAKE WHEN REQUIRED, RELEASE THE BRAKE WHEN I WANT TO RESUME DRIVING, BUT THE BRAKES MAY REMAIN ENGAGED.
I BOUGHT A 2008 GMC SIERRA IN FEBRUARY 2016 AND UPON TAKING OWNERSHIP, NOTICED TWO CRACKS IN THE DASH. ONE IS BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE OTHER ON THE LEFT-HAND CORNER OF THE AIRBAG. THE CRACKED DASH PIECES COULD BECOME SHRAPNEL IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS DASH ISSUE IS A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE AND GM REFUSES TO DO A RECALL.
THE DASH ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SPEAKER HAS CRACKED THROUGH TO THE AIR-BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THROUGH SEVERAL INCHES OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DASH COVER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE UNTIL THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY VIBRATES WORSENING THE CRACK UNTIL IT APPEARS THAT IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, PIECES OF THE DASH MATERIAL COULD DISINTEGRATE AND INJURE SOMEONE. I'VE BEEN WATCHING THIS FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS. THIS IS A PRODUCT DEFECT AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

TOOK TO LOCAL DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIX IT. THEY SAID YES , BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. WE COULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER IF NECESSARY. THE BILL WAS $1413.89. (PARTS $798.00--LABOR 562.59 TAX 48.19). WE HAD TO GET IT FIXED AS IT IS ILLEGAL TO BE ON THE ROAD WITHOUT SEAT BELTS (OR AIR BAGS). WE FEEL THESE ARE DEFECTIVE PARTS AN D WE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED BY THE MANUFACTURER.. THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICHLE!!!! THANKS
DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AT PASSENGER AIRBAG. POTENTIAL SHRAPNEL IF AIRBAG ACTIVATES.

CRACK DASHBOARD THERE ARE SO MANY OF US FACING THE SAME PROBLEM DEALERS SAYING I HAVE TO PAY WHICH ONE COST TO ME AROUND $800.00 WHEN SAME PROBLEM WITH HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM
MY SIERRA HAS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHER GM VEHICLES HAVE. THE DASH IS CRACKING, CREATING LOOSE PIECES. IT IS CRACKED AT THE AIRBAG. THIS SHARP EDGES COULD IMPAIR THE PROPER FUNCTION OF THE AIRBAG. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, I AM AFRAID THE LOOSE DASH PIECES COULD POST A DANGER TO THE VEHICLES OCCUPANTS.
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.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING, PART OF THIS IS AROUND THE AIRBAG AND I THINK IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF THE ALREADY DEFECTIVE AIR DEPLOYS IT COULD SEND SHARDS OF BROKEN DASHBOARD INTO MY OR A PASSENGERS FACE, THIS IS COMMON IN 2007-PRESENT TRUCKS MADE BY GM, THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DO NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN ADMITTING A BAD DESIGN
MAJOR ISSUE INVOLVING CRACKING OF DASH AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG OPENING AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AREA. I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL VEHICLES COVERING ALL YEARS AND USAGE WITH SIMILAR CRACKS SOME MAJOR. CONCERNED THAT IF AN ACCIDENT WITH FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT INJURY COULD OCCUR DUE TO FRACTURED PLASTIC.

DASH IS CRACKED IN FIVE PLACES. THE EDGE ON THE CRACKS ARE SO SHARP THAT YOU COULD CUT YOUR HAND IF IT'S MOVED ACROSS IT. ALSO HAVE TESTS BEEN DONE TO MAKE SURE THE CRACK IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED DOES NOT BECOME PROJECTILES
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.

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.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,180.

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.
I START MY TRUCK ONE NICE SUMMER DAY AND MY "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON, STRANGE I THOUGHT, SINCE MY 2008 SIERRA 1500 ONLY HAS 57,XXX MILES ON IT. . NO ACCIDENT, NO PRIOR ISSUES, NOT EVEN INCLEMENT WEATHER WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. THE DIAGNOSTIC COST WAS $132.93, AND THAT WAS TO JUST FOR PLUGGING IN THE TECH 2 SCAN TOOL AND RUNNING THE SIR AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I WAS NOT THRILLED ABOUT IT. PROBLEM TURNED OUT TO BE A FAILURE OF THE FRONT LEFT AIR BAG SENSOR. THE DEALER SAID "OH WE HAVE ONE IN STOCK AT OUT OTHER LOCATION, WE CAN GET IT SHIPPED OVER, AND IT WOULD COST $550 BUT WE COULD HAVE THE TRUCK BACK TO YOU LATER THIS EVENING." HOW DOES ONE OF THESE JUST FAIL? IF ITS DUE TO CORROSION SHOULDN'T GM PICK UP THE TAB ON THAT? THIS SAFETY COMPONENT IS WHAT SENSES IMPACT THEN CAUSES THE AIRBAG TO ACTUALLY DEPLOY AND THIS PART JUST RANDOMLY FAILS? HOW IS THAT ACCEPTABLE FOR ANY MANUFACTURER, IF THERE IS A CORROSION ISSUE, FIND A MEANS TO PREVENT FURTHER FAILURES AND COVER THE COST OF REPLACEMENT FOR THOSE THAT DO FAIL. FOR A GMC TRUCK THAT USES THE PHRASE "WE ARE PROFESSIONAL GRADE" AS THE BACKBONE FOR THEIR PRODUCTS, WHY WOULD THEY USE PARTS THAT FAIL SO EASILY? SINCE SOME OF THEIR TRUCKS USED TO BE BE ASSEMBLED IN WISCONSIN, AND THEIR HEAD QUARTERS IS IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN, IT'S VERY HARD TO OVERLOOK THE FACT THAT THESE PLACES ARE NOT KIND TO VEHICLES. SO WHY IS IT THAT A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY SYSTEM, THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM, A KEY COMPONENT CAN FAIL SO EASILY, AND THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE TO CORRECT IT?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC SIERRA DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED ALL THE DOOR LATCH HANDLES REPEATEDLY BROKE. THE CONTACT'S SON ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THE HANDLE COMPLETELY FAILED.

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
MY VEHICLE AIR BAG SENSORS HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT BOTH FRONT AIR BAG SENSORS ARE PART OF A KNOWN PROBLEM WHERE THE FACTORY TIGHTENED THE BOLTS TOO FAR MAKING THE SENSORS PRONE TO CRACK AND COLLECT MOISTURE. THIS MOISTURE THEN FREEZES AND THE SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS REPAIR IS VERY COSTLY AT OVER $200 PER SENSOR AND BOTH SENSORS NEED REPLACED. THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE LABOR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIR BAGS WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO HAPPEN. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ITEM THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH CAN CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO TEAR AND OR FAIL TO DEPLOY PROPERLY IN A ACCIDENT. IN RESEARCHING THIS SUBJECT ON THE INTERNET I CAME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN ALL GMC AND CHEVROLET LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS FROM 2007-2012. *TR

DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG EXPLODED. THE BAG ITSELF DID NOT DEPLOY. JUST A LOUD EXPLOSION FILLING THE CAB WITH BLACK SMOKE. VIOLENT BLAST OF AIR/SMOKE AGAINST THE DRIVER. WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS IF NOT DRIVING AT LOW SPEED ON A SIDE ROAD AT THE TIME. *TR
BEGAN TO SMELL FAINT RAW GAS FUMES AROUND THE VEHICLE IN THE SUMMER. IN THE AUTUMN MONTHS THE RAW GAS ODOR SMELL INTENSIFIED AND WAS VERY STRONG WITH AN OVERCOMING PRESENCE IN THE CABIN WHILE DRIVING. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY SHOP FOR DIAGNOSTIC. THE MECHANIC (NON GMC GARAGE) CALLED BACK SEVERAL HOURS LATER AND SAID I HAD BEEN DRIVING A POTENTIALLY DISASTER. HE ASKED ME TO SEE FOR MYSELF. I WAS ABLE TO VIEW THIS FIRST HAND AFTER HE HAD REMOVED THE FUEL TANK FROM THE VEHICLE. THE FUEL PUMP IS MOUNTED INTO A DEEP SUMP ON THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. THE SUMP WELL IS RATHER DEEP AND COLLECTS MUD, SILT, DEBRIS AND WATER WHILE DRIVING AND THAT COLLECTS AND BUILD UP OVER TIME INTO THE SUMP AND THAT STAYS MOIST AT ALL TIMES. OVER THE COURSE OF 6 YEARS THE FUEL PUMP HOUSING AND MOUNT RING RUSTED, ROTTED OUT AND STARTED LEAKING RAW GAS THAT WAS SPILLING ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST PIPE ALONGSIDE THE FUEL TANK. I DO NOT GO OFF ROAD WITH THE VEHICLE NOR DO I PLOW SNOW WITH IT. THE VEHICLE IS USED PRINCIPALLY IN HIGHWAY DRIVING. A FEW WEEKS LATER I WAS TALKING TO A FRIEND WHO OWNS A 2010 GMC SUBURBAN AND HE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I SUBSEQUENTLY WENT ON LINE, SEARCHED ON GOOGLE, AND DISCOVERED A NUMBER OF OTHER OWNERS THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW IN WHICH THE TANK IS DESIGNED WITH THE DEEP CIRCULAR DEPRESSION (A PERFECT SUMP CONDITION) FOR THE MOUNTING OF THE FUEL PUMP AND WITH NORMAL ROAD DRIVING (MOST NOTABLY IN THE NORTHEAST OR NORTHWEST WHERE RAIN AND SNOW IS PREVALENT) THE SUMP WILL STAY MOIST WITH MUD AND DEBRIS COLLECTING CAUSING RUST IN THE FUEL PUMP HOUSING/MOUNTING RING. *TR
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CAME ON AND WENT CRAZY AND SO DID THE RADIO. THE TRUCKS BRAKES LOCKED UP AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE TRUCK TURNED OFF AND WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON IT WAS DEAD. OPEN UP THE HOOD AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND RECONNECTED AND THE TRUCK TURNED ON THIS HAS NOT BEEN THE ONLY TIME IT HAS HAPPEN. *TR

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
ALL 4 DOOR LOCKS DO NOT LOCK/UNLOCK UNLESS DONE MANUALLY. BIG SAFETY ISSUE!!! NOTICE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS MAYBE IT IS TIME FOR A RECALL. *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
MY TRUCK STARTED TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 3 LANE 680 FREEWAY, DOORS STARTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK, NAVIGATION WENT DARK, MULTIPLE DIFFERENT DISPLAYS ON DASHBOARD, NUMBER OF LIGHTS FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT, CAME ON.

ALL FOUR DOOR LOCKS WERE INTERMITTENTLY INOPERATIVE & ONLY ABLE TO FUNCTION MANUALLY FROM THE INSIDE. TAKEN TO DEALER AND DIAGNOSED AS INTERNAL FAILURE IN DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLIES/ACTUATORS. ALL FOUR DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED AT A CUSTOMER COST OF $900+. 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. EVEN THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC MENTIONED SURPRISE THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED OR GMC HAS NOT BEEN FORCED TO FIX THE PROBLEM CONSIDERING HOW OFTEN HE HAD PERSONALLY DIAGNOSED & FIXED THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CUSTOMER IS UNABLE TO RELY ON THE DOOR LOCK SYSTEM OR LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOORS AS USUAL. MULTIPLE TIMES, MY VEHICLE SAT AT THE AIRPORT FOR DAYS UNLOCKED BECAUSE OF THIS FAILURE. SIMILARLY, MY TODDLER-AGED CHILDREN WERE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS TO THE BACKSEAT WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION DUE TO THE FAILURE IN THE AUTOMATIC ASSEMBLY. *TR

WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT AIR BAG, TOOK TO GMC DEALER AS GMC HAD NO RECALL ON THIS WARNING GMC DEALER RAN TEST DETERMINED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR HAD CORRODED AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT AND IT WAS NOT COV BY WARRANTY, SO PD 317.00 TO HAVE REPLACED. SOMETHING THIS IMPORTANT IN THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND SENSOR MOVED TO OTHER LOCATION AS IT WAS CORRODED FROM WEATHER? GMC DEALER TOLD ME 2 THINGS COULD HAPPEN IF I DIDN'T GET IT FIXED, COULD GO OFF RANDOMLY OR WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF IN ACCIDENT THEREFORE BOTH OF WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED FATALITY IF HAPPENED IN OPERATION. WOULD LIKE COMPLAINT FILED AS I WILL NOT GET MY MONEY BACK, BUT GMC NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF THIS IN THIS YEAR TRUCK. MAYBE SAVE SOME LIVES IF IT IS RECALLED AND MOVED TO WHERE WEATHER CANT GET TO IT. GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS OF NO HELP IN GETTING THIS REPLACED OR EVEN A REPORT MADE OF THIS INCIDENT, I HAD THIS REPLACED IN OCT. 2013 AND WAS TERRIFIED EVERYDAY DRIVING IT THAT IT WOULD GO OFF, AND CAUSE ME AN ACCIDENT, AND DEALER ADVISED ME THAT I HAD 2 OF THESE BAGS, SO AT LEAST THEY (SENSOR) DID NOT GO BAD AT THE SAME TIME...THIS WAS A LOT OF MONEY TO ME TO HAVE THIS FIXED PLUS THE 39.00 TO HAVE THEM RUN COMPUTER TEST ON IT. NEEDS TO PROB BE A RECALL ON THIS PART, AND RELOCATION OF WHERE THE SENSORS ARE. THANKS *TR
I HAVE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK BOTH OF MY PASSENGER SIDE DOORS MANUALLY, BECAUSE THE LOCKS DOESN'T WORK WITH THE KEY FOB NOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

THE FUEL LINES ARE RUSTED THROUGH SPRAYING FUEL TO UNDER SIDE OF TRUCK. THE LINES RUSTED THROUGH WHILE DRIVING FIFTEEN HOURS STRAIT FROM FLORIDA. IF THE FUEL WOULD HAVE HIT THE TAIL PIPE OR DIESEL PARTICULET FILTER WHEN REGENERATING, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS FIRE.

I HAVEN'T EVEN CHANGED THE FRONT BRAKES YET BUT THE FUEL LINES ARE SHOT. SHAME ON GM AND SHAME ON NHTSA FOR NOT ADDRESSING THIS. YOU BOTH KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH BRAKE AND FUEL LINES.

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
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2008 GMC SIERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED DUE TO THE LOCK MALFUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO DEALER FRO INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING CAME ON AND STAYS ON. *TR
THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT HOWEVER AS THE IGNITION PROBLEM UNFOLDS WITH THE GM PRODUCTS I WANTED TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING TO THE ATTENTION A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY A YEAR OR SO AGO WITH MY 2008 GMC SIERRA. I TYPICALLY PARK MY TRUCK IN THE GARAGE WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. WE HAVE A LIVE CAMERA IN THE GARAGE AND ONE MORNING AROUND 7 AM AFTER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AROUND 3 AM I FOUND ON THE CAMERA THE TRUCK RUNNING WITH FLASHING HEADLIGHTS. I WENT TO GARAGE IMMEDIATELY AND WAS HIT WITH VERY HIGH HEAT DUE TO THE TRUCK RUNNING. WITH THE CARBON MONOXIDE POTENTIAL I DID NOT GO INTO THE GARAGE. I GOT MY WIFE'S KEYS AND TRIED A "REMOTE STOP" AND THE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED FLASHING BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. I OPEN BOTH GARAGE DOORS AND WENT OUTSIDE SO I COULD ENTER THE GARAGE FROM THE OUTSIDE. I OPENED THE TRUCK DOOR AND BARELY TOUCHED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE TRUCK SHUT OFF. IT WAS NOT TURNED ON! WITHOUT A DOUBT IT HAD BEEN RUNNING ABOUT FOUR HOURS SINCE THE STORM. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. AFTER TELLING THE DEALER THE STORY THEY BASICALLY LAUGHED AT ME AND SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT IN WHEN THE NEXT STORM CAME THRU. THEY LATER RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AT GM REQUEST AND FOUND A MYSTERIOUS IGNITION CODE BUT NO SOLUTION. WHAT MAKES THIS EVEN STRANGER IS THAT WE ALSO HAD A 2010 YUKON THAT STARTED ON ITS OWN ONE AFTERNOON WHEN MYSELF, A SHERIFF DEPUTY AND THREE OTHER NEIGHBORS WERE STANDING NEXT TO IT DURING A SEVERE LIGHTNING STORM. THE GARAGE DOOR WAS OPEN, THE KEYS WERE "NOT" IN THE IGNITION BUT WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD LIGHTNING STRIKE IT STARTED.TO RUN. I DID NOT CONTACT ANYONE AND IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL THE TRUCK STARTED AFTER A LIGHTNING STORM. I HAVE SINCE SOLD BOTH VEHICLES BUT THEY ARE STILL IN THE LOCAL AREA. I REALLY FEEL THE GM IGNITION PROBLEM GOES A LOT DEEPER!! *TR
THE SAFETY DURING A COLLISION OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FROM SHARP PLASTIC EXPOSED DUE TO THE CRACKS IN THE DASH CUTTING THE AIRBAG OR SHARDS OF PLASTIC BECOMING PROJECTILES POTENTIALLY CAUSING INJURY TO OCCUPANTS. I JUST HAD A PHONE CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE OVER AT GM AND THEY ARE GOING TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. THE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT COULD COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY AND DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG AND POTENTIALITY, CAUSE GREATER INJURY TO THE PASSENGER(S) IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I ALSO NOTED TO GM THAT MY CASE IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, AND THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS FORUMS AND THIS FACEBOOK PAGE WHERE GM VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE POSTED PICTURES OF DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS ALL WITH SIMILARITIES, SHOWING CRACKS IN THE SAME GENERAL AREAS,MANY OF WHOM HAVE BEEN EXPRESSING SAFETY CONCERNS REGARDING THIS DASHBOARD DESIGN FLAW. *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
WE HAVE HAD THREE OF THE POWER LOCKS GO OUT - FIRST WAS FRONT PASSENGER, WHICH WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND COVERED FREE OF CHARGE, SO WAS THE SECOND - THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE. BUT, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WENT OUT A YEAR LATER AND NOW THEY WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THAT, HAVING SMALL CHILDREN, I HAVE HAD THEM LOCKED INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE UNLOCK DOESN'T WORK, SO I HAVE TO CLIMB THROUGH TO ACCESS THE DOOR LOCK. IN AN EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, WHERE TIME IS OF ESSENCE - THIS IS A SEVERE ISSUE. *TR
DASH CRACKED TOP LEFT CORNER PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM SIMPLY GOOGLE GMC CRACKED DASH AND YOU SHALL SEE. IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS PLASTIC SHRAPNEL WOULD BE SENT ALL OVER THE CABIN. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT GM IS IGNORING A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF OVERHEATING AND THE CONTACT ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO COOL DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND WAS NOT TAKEN TO FOR DIAGNOSIS OF REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,664.
ERRATIC DOOR LOCK BEHAVIOR. PASSENGER AND REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK CONSISTENTLY. THE PASSENGER SIDE LOCK NOT LOCKING RESULTED IN THE THEFT OF A HANDGUN FROM MY VEHICLE. THIS DEFICIENCY LEAVES THE VEHICLE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THEFT, CARJACKING, DOORS COMING OPEN ON IMPACT. PASSENGERS, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN ARE AT RISK OF OPENING THE VEHICLE DOOR WHILE IN MOTION. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY THE DOORS EFFECTED CAN NOT BE UNLOCKED FROM OTHER THAN THE MANUAL LATCH BUTTON TO AID PASSENGERS. *TR
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

THE DRIVERS SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE WILL NOT OPEN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THE WINDOW HAS TO BE ROLLED DOWN IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE.... BASED ON THE GMC FORUMS I HAVE READ THIS HAPPENS TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. THE REPLACEMENT COSTS CAN RUN FROM $200-$800 DUE TO PLASTIC PIECES AND CABLES BEING USED THAT MELT AND BREAK EASILY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF SOMEONE WERE TO EVER GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THEY NEED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IF THAT IS THE ONLY OPTION TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT. THEY WILL HAVE TO KICK THE WINDOW OUT IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE TRUCK AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THIS HAS APPENDED AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. *TR
2008 GMC SIERRA 1500 POWER DOOR LOCKS ALL FAILED. *TR
MY 2008 GMC DASH IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. AFTER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET THIS CRACK(S) ARE A CHRONIC DEFECT IN THE 07/08 GENERAL MOTORS TRUCKS AND SUV'S. NO REASON FOR THESE CRACKS, NO IMPACT, ETC... THERE IS A COMMON CONCERN THE OWNERS SHARE THAT THIS DEFECT COULD IMPACT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. *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
ON THE MORNING OF APRIL 11 WE HAD A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AT APPROX. 3:00AM. LATER IN THE MORNING AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30AM I FOUND MY 2008 SIERRA TRUCK RUNNING IN MY GARAGE WITH THE GARAGE DOORS SHUT. THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FLASHING AND THE GARAGE WAS EXTREMELY HOT DUE TO THE ENGINE RUNNING. THERE WAS A LOT OF WATER CONDENSATION ON THE FLOOR INDICATING THAT THE ENGINE HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS AT RUNNING TEMPERATURE. MY KEYS WERE IN THE IGNITION SO I OPENED THE GARAGE TO AIR OUT THE CARBON MONOXIDE AND TOOK MY WIFE'S KEYS AND TRIED TO STOP IT REMOTELY BUT IT WOULD NOT STOP. A FEW MINUTES LATER I WENT OUTSIDE AND CAME IN THRU THE GARAGE DOOR TRYING NOT TO BREATH THE FUMES. BY THEN THE TRUCK WAS NOT RUNNING. I FOUND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. WHEN I TOUCHED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT. THE SEAT PRESETS WERE MESSED UP AND THE CLOCK WAS SEVERAL HOURS OFF. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THE TRUCK WAS REMOTE STARTED. EVEN IF IT WAS IT SHOULD ONLY RUN FOR 10 MINUTES. THIS WAS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATION! CONTINUING ON WITH A SIMILAR SITUATION A YEAR AGO, THERE WAS A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM COMING THRU. OUR NEIGHBORS HAD COME TO OUR HOUSE DURING THE WARNING SINCE WE HAD A BASEMENT. WE WERE ALL STANDING IN THE GARAGE WITH THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN AND OUR 2010 GMC YUKON STARTED UP LIKE SOMEONE TURNED ON THE IGNITION. THERE WERE NO KEYS IN THE IGNITION. THE ELECTRICAL STORM WAS ON-GOING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WE SAW OUR NEIGHBOR LEAVE IN HER YUKON SO WE THOUGHT MAYBE SHE REMOTE STARTED HERS SO I FOLLOWED UP WITH HER TO SEE IF SHE HAD REMOTED STARTED HER CAR AND SHE HAD NOT. SHE TRIED TO REMOTE START HER CAR AND IT DID NOT AFFECT OURS WHATSOEVER. IT APPEARS THAT BOTH INCIDENTS SEEM TO BE STORM RELATED. IT IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATION KNOWING THIS COULD HAPPEN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP OR AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS. *TR
MY CONCERN IS THREE DOOR POWER LOCKS HAVE GONE BAD AND REPLACED TWO SO FAR. MY CONCERN IS THE REAR DOORS ARE KEYLESS AND YOU CANT UNLOCK THEM FROM FRONT. I SPOKE TO GM AND THEY DON'T SEE A NEED TO RECALL TRUCK. I TALKED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE SEEING A LOT OF FAILED POWER LOCKS ON THIS MODEL TRUCK. CAN I GIVE YOU A WHAT IF SCENARIO SAY THEIRS A FIRE IN FRONT AND I CANT UNLOCK REAR DOORS TO GET MY CHILDREN OUT WOULDN'T THAT BE A LIABILITY ISSUE IF I COULDN'T GET THEM OUT TO SAVE THEIR LIVES. *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 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.

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.

ON SEPT. 28TH ABOUT 1PM I WAS TRAVELING ON A DIRT ROAD WHEN I APPROACHED SOME POT HOLES. THE DAY WAS SUNNY AND DRY AND I WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKE BUT AS I HIT THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN I HIT THE FIRST COUPLE AND MY SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE COMPUTER ADVISED IT WAS IN A ROLL AND DEPLOYED THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS AND ALSO THEY ADVISED THE COMPUTER SENSED THERE WAS SOMEONE IN THE PASSANGERS SEAT WHEN THERE WASN'T SO MAYBE THE SEAT SENSORS A BIT SENSITIVE. IT WAS EVIDENT I WASN'T IN A ROLL AND THEY REFERRED ME TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO TOOK MY INFOMRATION AND SENT A 3RD PARTY I BELIEVE RAYTHEON TO DO AN INSPECTION. I CALLED GM YESTERDAY AND THEY ADVISED THEY RECEIVED THE RESULTS AND PER THEIR ENGINEERS AND THE DATA THEY PULLED THEY DETERMINED THAT THE POT HOLES THAT I HAD HIT (WHICH WERE NOT LARGE) WERE LARGE ENOUGH TO TELL THE COMPUTER THAT I HAD LOST STABILITY AND TO DEPLOY THE AIR BAGS. WITH THAT THEY DETERMINED THAT THE SYSTEMS WERE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THAT THEY WERE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY ISSUES OR COSTS. I HAD SPOKEN WITH JOE THE SUPERVISOR AND I HAD ASKED HIM THAT WHEN I GET THIS FIXED AM I TO BE LEARY OF POT HOLES IN THE FUTURE THAT IT MIGHT SET THEM OFF AGAIN AND HE DIRECTLY ANSWERED THAT THAT IS A POSSIBILITY THAT IF THE COMPUTER SENSES THAT THE TRUCK HAS LOST STABILITY THAT THEY WILL DEPLOY AGAIN. AGAIN HE ADVISED EVERYTHING WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. AT THIS POINT I HAVE TO GET MY TRUCK FIXED BUT I'M DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT AS IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT FREEWAY SPEEDS I COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I DID SEE ANOTHER SAFETY REVIEW THAT I BELIEVE HAD A NHTSA REVIEW # 10205258 WHICH APPEARS JUST LIKE MY INCIDENT BUT THAT ONE FOR A 2007 GMC YUKON. GM ADVISED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD COST $2700 AND IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN I WOULD AGAIN BE LIABLE FOR THE COST EVEN THOUGH IN MY MIND IT'S A DESIGN OR ENG. FLAW. *KB

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 BACK DOOR LOCKS CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED FROM INSIDE THE TRUCK IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY WITH NO KEY ACCESS. FROM A SECURITY STAND POINT THE FAILURE IS NOT KNOWN UNTIL THE DOOR EITHER DOES NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK AND YOU NOTICE THE FAILURE. THIS BECOMES AN ISSUE AS YOU MAY THINK THAT THE VEHICLES DOORS ARE LOCKED BUT THEY ARE NOT. ALSO THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE DOOR IN THE EVENT SOMEONE IS TRYING TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE I.E. CARJACKING.

BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AT 15K MILES, HAD THEM TURNED UNDER WARRANTY AT DEALER VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM. AT 30K MILES ROTORS WARPED AGAIN, THIS TIME 1 BRAKE PAD WAS WORN DOWN TO 2MM THICK, THE REST APPEAR ALMOST NEW IN THICKNESS. DEALER TURNED ROTORS AGAIN AND REPLACED PADS FOR $200. REQUESTED AND WAS DENIED THAT THE BRAKE WORK BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BY DEALER AND GM CS. I TOOK OLD BRAKE HARDWARE HOME WITH ME AND STILL HAVE IT. I CONTEND THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OR MATERIALS IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM OF THIS TRUCK CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR AND FAILURE OF "NON WARRANTY" BRAKE ITEMS SUCH AS THE PADS AND ROTORS. I CONTEND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A HANGING BRAKE PAD CAUSING THE ROTORS TO OVERHEAT AND WARP SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW AND ANY WORK PERFORMED AT THE TIME OF THE 15K MILE ROTOR TURNING DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IF BRAKE WORK NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED ON THIS TRUCK EVERY 15K MILES THERE IS A REASON THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ONE TIME FREAK FAILURE I CAN SEE, TWO TIMES EVENLY SPACED AT 15K MILE INTERVALS AND I THINK SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLES BRAKES DESIGN AND/OR MATERIALS. VEHICLE IS DAILY DRIVER, 15 MILES A DAY TO AND FROM WORK. GARAGED DURING THE WINTER, TAKEN OFF ROAD (FROZEN CORNFIELDS, DIRT FIELD ROADS) FOR A WEEK IN LATE FALL. USED TO TOW A FISHING BOAT A FEW TIMES A YEAR. OWNER IS A FORMER ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND IS NOT AN AGGRESSIVE USER OF THE BRAKES.

RANDOM DOOR LOCK FAILURE LEADING TO PERMANENT FAILURE OVER SEVERAL MONTHS. OWNER IS UNAWARE OF PROBLEM UNTIL SEVERAL WEEKS OR MONTHS AS PROBLEM PROGRESSES TO COMPLETE FAILURE. DOOR LOCKS WILL SOMETIMES LOCK AND SOMETIMES UNLOCK, BUT TOTALLY UNAWARE TO THE OWNER UNTIL THE PROBLEM FINISHES WITH COMPLETE FAILURE. OFTEN TIMES VEHICLE IS LEFT UNLOCKED WHEN OWNER ASSUMES IT IS. THE PROBLEM CREATES OPPORTUNITY FOR CRIME AS WELL AS MANY OTHER SAFETY CONCERNS. THE OTHER MAJOR CONCERN IS THE INTEGRITY OF THE DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM DURING A CRASH ..... WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR DOORS MAY NOT BE LOCKED. I HAVE GRAVE CONCERNS FOR CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEATS OF VEHICLES THAT SHOULD BE LOCKED BUT AREN'T. BECAUSE OF FLAWS IN COMPONENT INTEGRITY.

WHILE SLOWLY BACKING MY 2008 GMC SIERRA PICK-UP TRUCK INTO THE GARAGE, THE MIRROR SURFACE CONTACTED THE SIDE OF THE GARAGE, CRACKING THE MIRROR. INSURANCE COMPANY RECOMMENDED HAVING AN AUTO GLASS SHOP REPLACE THE MIRROR, BUT A SMALL, FLIMSY PLASTIC CLIP THAT HAD BROKEN ON THE BACK OF THE MIRROR PREVENTED THEM FROM DOING SO. CUT HAND ON BROKEN MIRROR SURFACE AFTER REMOVED BY GLASS SHOP. DEALER ESTIMATED REPAIR AT $213.02. GM CORPORATE REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE DEFECT IN MIRROR BACKING CLIP AND REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE WHATSOEVER (DISTRICT SPECIALIST LEVEL REFERRAL FROM OWNER RELATIONS CENTER. I THOUGHT THAT FLEXIBLE MIRROR ASSEMBLIES WERE SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE MINOR COLLISIONS - A PREVIOUS GM VEHICLE (BLAZER) PERFORMED ADMIRABLY IN A 25 MPH COLLISION WITH A CHROME F250 TRUCK MIRROR W/NO DAMAGE TO THE BLAZER MIRROR OR ASSEMBLY. THE GMC "PROFESSIONAL GRADE" (TERM USED VERY LOOSELY HERE) TRUCK THAT I NOW OWN WON'T EVEN STAND UP TO A MINOR CLIP ON THE SIDE OF THE GARAGE AT SLOW SPEED. ENGINEERING DEFECTS ARE 1) MIRROR ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY IS OF POOR QUALITY AND/OR WORKMANSHIP AND 2) MIRROR ASSEMBLY MOVES UP SLIGHTLY WHEN PIVOTING, WHICH PROBABLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE BREAKAGE AT SUCH SLOW SPEED (WAS SLOWLY BACKING UP AN INCLINE INTO THE GARAGE). APPARENTLY, I WAS NOT CONVINCING ENOUGH TO GM THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH FLIMSY MIRRORS - PERHAPS NHTSA AND BBB CAN BE MORE PERSUADING. ALL I ASKED FOR WAS THAT THEY COVER THE FLIMSY PLASTIC ACTUATOR AND PART OF THE $93 LABOR QUOTED FOR THE JOB BY THE DEALER. THE MIRROR ITSELF I HAVE NO QUALMS PAYING FOR. OLD PARTS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE TRUCK - I PLAN TO DRIVE MY NEARLY NEW TRUCK "AS IS" FOR A WHILE AS A SYMBOL OF GM'S POOR QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. I ALSO PLAN ON TELLING AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE ABOUT HOW FLIMSY GM MAKES THEIR VEHICLES AND HOW NON-EXISTENT THEIR CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS. *TR

THEN IMPACTED A FORD CAR DOWN THE DRIVERS SIDE THAT WAS FOLLOWING THE CAMPER. THE IMPACT CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY IN THE TRUCK. THE TIRE ON THE TRUCK WAS FOUND OVER 200 FEET FROM THE IMPACT. THE MARKINGS ON THE TIRE WERE CONSISTENT WITH THE STEERING KNUCKLE BREAKAGE. INSPECTION BY BOTH THE TOW TRUCK OWNER AND THE COLLISION REPAIR SHOP NOTICED THAT THE PART LOOKED DEFECTIVE AND POINTED IT OUT TO THE OWNER OF THE TRUCK.
