ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VISIBILITY/WIPER
TAKATA RECALL, PARKING ASSIST SENSORS QUIT WORKING. ABS LIGHTS STAY ON WITH THE ALERT "SERVICE STABILITRAK". MANUFACTURE FAULTY ELECTRICAL GROUND IS POSSIBLY THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK IS NOT EVEN 5 YEARS OLD YET. THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN A LOT OF REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE BY OTHER OWNERS. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE COLLISIONS WHEN DEPENDING ON THIS FEATURE TO WORK.

STEERING
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN COMPLETE POWER STEERING FAILURE OCCURRED. IT WAS RAINING AT THE TIME, AND THIS TOOK PLACE APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A SHALLOW PUDDLE IN MY LANE WITH THE DRIVER SIDE TIRES. VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER, EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I AM A FIT MALE WITH STRONG ARMS AND IT WAS ALMOST MORE STEERING RESISTANCE THAN I COULD MANAGE. HAD THIS OCCURRED WHILE TURNING, I DOUBT I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE. EVEN WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE, IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO A PERSON WITH VERY MUCH LESS UPPER BODY STRENGTH, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN REAL TROUBLE, AS THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE SAFELY OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THE SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A FAILED ELECTRIC POWERED RACK AND PINION (STEERING GEAR). THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS NOT RELATED TO THE PREVIOUSLY ISSUED RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING, AND THAT IT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE APPARENTLY SHORTED OUT STEERING GEAR.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOP WORKING, THE HEAD LIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON AND THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THE RAIN GETS HARDER AND TURNED THE WIPERS BACK OFF THE HEADLIGHT INDICATOR GOES OFF, TRY TURNING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BACK ON AND NOTHING. SO WHEN ON AN INTERSTATE IN RAIN WITH SEMI TRUCKS AROUND YOU OR JUST FOLLOWING ANOTHER VEHICLE, IF IT IS RACING OR POURING OR WHATEVER THE WEATHER, YOU NEED THE WIPERS TO WORK, THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM, I HAVE SEARCHED ON LINE ISSUES OF THIS AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT FROM BRAND NEW AND STILL ON GOING. RECALLS WERE ONLY POSTED FOR 2 MODELS OF VEHICLES BUT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE PICKUPS AS WELL. THE WIPERS ARE A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF A SAFE RIDE AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. THE PRICE WE PAY FOR VEHICLES THEY SHOULD BE SAFELY EQUIPPED FOR THIS PRICE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE GMC SIERRA TRUCK WILL LOOSE POWER STEERING WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES SO FAR. THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ERROR WITH THE TRAILER BRAKE. THEN, NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND THE TRUCK LOOSES POWER STEERING. IT IS DANGEROUS AND DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT THAT POINT. IT IS RANDOM. THE TRUCK WILL CONNECT AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WILL FUNCTION LIKE NORMAL. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS COMMUNICATION ERRORS. THE FUSE BLOCK WAS REPLACED FOR ALMOST 600 DOLLARS. THEN, THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING AGAIN AFTER THAT REPAIR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THEIR SHOP FOR 8 DAYS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET THE ERROR SO NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM CORP ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE SENIOR ADVISOR ASSIGNED TO MY CASE HAS NOT EVER CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY ADVISED THAT SOMEONE WITH GM WOULD CONTACT ME IN 2 DAYS. IT HAS BEEN OVER 8 DAYS. PICKING THE VEHICLE BACK UP FROM THE DEALER. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I FEEL THAT THE GM ENGINEERS HAVE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THESE ISSUES BUT NO ONE WILL EVEN CALL ME BACK. THERE IS SOME ELECTRICAL GLITCH THAT CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE ITS POWER STEERING. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT 690,000 TRUCKS WERE RECALLED IN 2017 IN REFERENCE TO RECALL # 17276 . THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT MY TRUCK RECEIVED THE NECESSARY ITEMS FOR THAT IN 2017. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I CURRENTLY HAVE A TRUCK THAT IS NOT SAFE AND GM DOESN'T SEEM TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT IT. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I'M SURE OTHER TRUCK OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. I DO NOT WANT SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE GM WILL NOT STEP UP AND HANDLE THIS ISSUE. I LOST POWER STEERING ON MAY 14TH, 15TH AND 23RD 2019.

STEERING
MY ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING HAS GIVEN OUT. I CANT STEER WHATSOEVER. IT IS ON RECALL. WE FO HAVE A LOCAL SHOP BUT IT IS NOT A GM SHOP. WE DID TRY WORKING WITH GM AND ALSO THE SELLER-AK SALES AND SERVICE TO TRY GET IT FIXED. THEY WILL NOT HELP ME WHATSOEVER. I LOVE IN THE BUSH WHICH MEANS WE HAVE LIMITED ACCESS. IF I WANTED TO GET THIS FIXED I'D HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET OVER I GRAND TO GET MY VEHICLE BARGED TO AMCHORAGE, AK. WHICH I DONT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I STILL OWE OVER 11 GRAND ON MY TRUCK. I'M SOL AS TO WHAT TO DO.

I HAVE A LEAK IN THE A/C CONDENSER. THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUE. THERE ARE STORIES WRITTEN ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS SO WIDE SPREAD. AT ONE POINT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER, THAT IS HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD ISSUES. JUST CONTACTED GM AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THEY DO NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. YET ON THE FRONT PAGE OF EVEN YOUR WEBSITE, THERE IS AN ARTICLE ABOUT DEATH'S FROM HEAT RISING. SO A DEFECTIVE A/C SYSTEM SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME- HERE ARE THE MANY STORIES WRITTEN ON THE ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.NBCCHICAGO.COM/NEWS/LOCAL/GM-AIR-CONDITIONING-RESPONDS-439572983.HTML HTTPS://CHEVROLETFORUM.COM/FORUM/2014-2018-GMT-K2-110/2014-SILVERADO-AC-PROBLEMS-ALREADY-67170/PAGE8/ HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NEWS/2018/GM-AC-COMPRESSOR-CONDENSER-PROBLEMS-LAWSUIT.SHTML HTTPS://WWW.TORQUENEWS.COM/3768/OWNERS-2014-CHEVROLET-SILVERADOS-WANT-FEDERAL-TRADE-COMMISSION-FORCE-RECALL-THEIR-AIR-CONDITIONING-PROBLEMS HTTP://WWW.RADIATORHELPLINE.COM/2017/06/2014-2017-CHEVY-GM-CONDENSER-WIDESPREAD-FAILURE.HTML HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERCLASSLAWYERSBLOG.COM/BUNCH-HOT-AIR-AC-GMC-CHEVY-TRUCKS-SIMPLY-NOT-WORK/

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND FAILS TO TURN AND CAN SOMETIMES BE PULLED RIGHT OUT OF YOUR HANDS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN. WHEN THIS OCCURS WHILE NEGOTIATING A TURN IT CAUSES THE VHEICLE TO FAIL THE TURN, TURN VERY WIDELY AND FORCES THE VHEILCE INTO THE ONCOMING LANE. THIS VEHICLE APPARENTLY HAS A RECALL ON PART OF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST, BUT THE POWER STEERING RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND GMC WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALL ONE UNIT.

THE DOOR LOCKS DONT ALWAYS LOCK. MY GRANDSON WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND FELL ASLEEP, WHILE ASLEEP HE BUMPED THE DOOR HANDLE AND THE DOOR OPENED WHILE WE WERE GOING 50 MPH., LUCKY HE HAD THE SEAT BELT ON. THE DOOR SHOULD NOT HAVE OPENED AS THE LOCK SHOULD HAVE ENGAGED WHEN THE TRUCK IS PUT IN GEAR AND MADE THE DOOR HANDLE INOPERABLE. THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS THE PROBLEM, THIS WILL BE THE SECOND ONE REPLACED. YOU DONT KNOW THEY DONT WORK BECAUSE THEY MAKE A LOCKING SOUND WHEN ACTIVATED. THEY JUST DONT LOCK, VERY DANGEROUS GLAD HE DIDNT FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE.
