ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
TRUCK HAS 73,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND HAD THE STABILI TRACK WARNING GO OFF, AS WELL AS RADIO AND FAN SHUT OFF. AS I WAS MAKING A SLIGHT LEFT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED OUT OF MY HAND AND LOCKED UP, LEAVING ME WITH ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD RELEASE , JERK AND LOCK REPEATEDLY, IT HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES WHILE TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL. AT THE SAME TIME WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE I HAD VIRTUALLY NO BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. LOOKED FOR RECALLS AND ALL I FOUND WERE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, BUT NO SOLUTION OR RECALLS. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL, IT'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE... WHAT IF I WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR TOWING MY TRAILER AT THE TIME. GM AND NHTSA NEED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. AS FOR ME, I'M IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING RID OF A VEHICLE THAT I'VE HAD FOR 3 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THIS AND WILL NOT LET MY CHILDREN RIDE IN THE VEHICLE. IT'S AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, I'M JUST HOPING THE NEXT TIME IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AT 65MPH. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
GOT A STEERING STABILITY INDICATION WHILE DRIVING ACROSS A BUMPY STRIP ON THE HIGHWAY. LATER, I WOULD GET THE INDICATOR, AND WHEN I DID A HARD TURN, I.E. 90 DEGREES, THE ENGINE WOULD DIE. THE DEALERSHIP ISOLATED THE PROBLEM TO A BROKEN GEAR IN THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST, AND REPLACED THE NEGATIVE POWER CABLE ON THE BATTERY. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT $3600.00, BUT GM PAID ABOUT 75%. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE THE NEGATIVE CABLE EVERY 50,000 MILES BY ONE OF THE TECHNICIANS. ANOTHER PROBLEM OCCURRED ABOUT A YEAR AGO CONCERNING THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM. I GOT A CHECK ENGINE WARNING, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND FOUND THAT THE WHOLE SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY COATED WITH FINE DUST. THEY REPLACED THE VAPOR COLLECTION CANISTER AND ASSOCIATED TUBES AND FILTERS AT A COST OF ABOUT $800.00. GM PICKED UP ABOUT 50%. I LATER CHANGED THE LOCATION OF THE VAPOR COLLECTION TUBE FROM THE (VERY DUSTY) WHEEL WELL, TO UNDER THE HOOD WHERE IT WAS PROTECTED FROM THE DUST. I DON'T BELIEVE EITHER OF THESE PROBLEMS TO BE LACK OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE, BECAUSE NEITHER APPEAR TO BE ABLE TO BE CHECKED OR APPEAR ON REGULAR MAINTENANCE. THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE MAKING A TURN AT SLOW SPEEDS, AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AT DRIVING SPEEDS. RELOCATING THE INTAKE ON THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM APPEARS TO HAVE CURED OR DELAYED THE ONSET OF THE PROBLEM. (I ALSO REMOVE AND BLOW OUT THE FILTER AND THE INTAKE TUBE AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.)

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE IS A LEAK IN MY AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER. WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE I WAS TOLD THERE IS A NATION-WIDE BACKORDER ON THE CONDENSERS. I THEN HAD TO BRING IN MY TRUCK FOR A IGNITION COIL FAILURE AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING A HIGH NUMBER OF LEAKING CONDENSERS AND CANNOT GET PARTS. WHILE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COSTLY FIX ON A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE AND SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE IS A HIGH OCCURRENCE OF FAILURES AND THIS NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC AND GMC.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
WHEN DRIVING RECENTLY, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING ALONG WITH MY STABILITRAK LIGHT COMING ON. THE VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING. THE VIBRATING WAS ESPECIALLY ROUGH WHILE IDLE. THE VIBRATION WAS ALSO ROUGH WHILE IN LOWER GEARS AND WHILE BRAKING. WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE I WAS TOLD IT WAS A CORRODED IGNITION COIL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW AND IT CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 37,000 MILES ON IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND "DEGRADED STEERING" WARNING WITH CHIME SOUNDED. CLEARED ITSELF AND THEN CHIMED AGAIN WITH SAME WARNING ABOUT THREE MINUTES LATER. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY STABILITRACK WARNING AND RED BRAKE WARNING. STEERING WAS SOMEWHAT HARDER TO TURN BUT WAS STILL BEING ASSISTED. THERE DIDN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY DEGRADATION TO BRAKING. MAYBE THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM? THE A/C THEN TURNED OFF AND THE RADIO VOLUME WENT SILENT. THE STABILITRACK SWITCH, A/C CONTROLS AND RADIO CONTROLS WERE ALL INEFFECTIVE. I NOTICED THE AMP GAUGE WAS BELOW 12 AS IT SEEMED AS IF THE TRUCK ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS UNDERPOWERED. I DROVE TEN MILES HOME AND ALL SYSTEMS RESET BY TURNING TRUCK OFF AND STARTING IT UP AGAIN. THIS IS FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. TRUCK HAS 66K MILES ON IT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS TRUCK ARE THE WORST PERFORMING LIGHTS I HAVE EVER USED. THEY EMIT A VERY POOR AMOUNT OF LIGHT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT AND BARELY ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT IF IT IS RAINING. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE POOR LIGHTING. I HAVE HAD THE UPGRADE DONE BY GM AND THAT DID NOT MAKE THESE LIGHTS MUCH BETTER AND DEFINITELY DID NOT MAKE IT SAFER TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE LIGHTS WITH THE UPDATED VERSION THEY HAVE INSTALLED IN THE 2016 MODELS.
