ENGINE
ENGINE LIFTER ISSUE/LOW OIL PRESSURE PROBLEM RELATES TO HAVING THE LIFTERS REPLACED. THE 5.3 VORTEC ENGINE HAS AFM (ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT). DEALER WANTS $5800 TO FIX THE LIFTER ISSUE, WHILE ESTIMATES TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH NECESSARY PARTS RUNS BETWEEN $6900 AND $7200. IS THIS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM? TRUCK HAS 52,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN SERVICED AT REGULAR INTERVALS. TRUCK WAS PARKED WHEN THE ISSUE BECAME EVIDENT DURING THE STARTUP. TRUCK IS NOW AT THE DEALER (TOWED) AWAITING REPAIR.

THE DASH HAS CRACKED RIGHT ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG . THE TRUCK WAS CLEANED AND DETAILED ON WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 25TH 2015 , PARKED BACK IN THE GARAGE AND WHEN I LEFT IN IT FRIDAY NOVEMBER 27 , 2015 I NOTICED THE DASH WAS CRACKED . THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME SINCE IT IS THE PASSENGER AIR COMPARTMENT AND COULD RESULT IN FLYING DEBRIS FOR AN OCCUPANT INSIDE MY TRUCK .

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, SERVICE BRAKES
A CRACK HAS FORMED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH BOARD NEAR THE AIR BAG. THIS SHOULD NOT OCCUR IN A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WITHOUT ANY MENTION OR ACTION TO REPAIR. I WILL BE CONTACTING THEM ON MONDAY ABOUT COVERING THE REPAIR. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DESIGN ISSUE AND THE DASH SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. IN THE MONTH OF JUNE 2015, I HAD TO HAVE MY MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN JANUARY 2015 OF THIS YEAR AND I FILLED THE MASTER CYLINDER WITH FLUID BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE WARNING SYSTEM CAME ON AND THE BRAKE FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS AT THE MINIMUM LEVEL. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED TAT IT COULD BE THE RESULT OF LOW BRAKES AND TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND IF IT LOOSE BRAKE FLUID TO BRING IT IN.WHEN IT OCCUR AGAIN IN JUNE 2015, I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER. IT WAS DETERMINE THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER CAUSING THE WARNING LIKES ON THE DASH TO ILLUMINATE. AT JUST OVER 40,000 MILES, THIS SHOULD BE COVER BY GM AS A WARRANTY ITEM. I BELIEVE I AM DUE A REFUND.

AIR BAGS
PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEN TOOK IT TO A GMC DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS DUE TO LOSS OF POWER TO THE AIR BAG MODULE ATTRIBUTED TO CORROSION WITHIN THE UNDER-HOOD FUSE BLOCK.

STRUCTURE, AIR BAGS
AROUND 37,000 MILES A CRACK APPEARED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH, AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THERE ARE NOW 3 CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG AND THESE CRACKS COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A TEAR IN THE AIRBAG DURING DEPLOYMENT, RENDERING THE AIRBAG INEFFECTIVE IN PREVENTING INJURY DURING AN ACCIDENT. FROM ONLINE SEARCHES, IT APPEARS THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN A DESIGN ISSUE ON THE 2010 MODEL THAT WAS FIXED STARTING WITH THE 2011 TRUCKS. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. I FEEL THAT DUE TO THE POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS, THE DASHES FOR THIS MODEL YEAR OF SIERRA SHOULD BE FIXED BY GM. *TR

STRUCTURE
3 YEARS AGO WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS STILL "UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY" A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH APPEARED AT THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF WHERE THE PLATE IS THAT COVERS THE AIRBAG. MUNDAY CHEVROLET IN SPRING TEXAS TOLD ME THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE "WARRANTY" BUT THEY WOULD REPLACE IT FOR A REDUCED COST OF $1,000. GM IS NOT GETTING ANOTHER BAIL OUT FROM ME. THE SINGLE CRACK DEVELOPED A SECONDARY CRACK RESULTING IN A "Y" SHAPED CRACK. ABOUT A WEEK AGO THE AREA IN THE "TOP" OF THE "Y" FELL OUT SO NOW THERE IS A HOLE AND A CRACK. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND NOT ONLY DOES THIS UNFAIRLY DEVALUE MY INVESTMENT BECAUSE GMC USED INFERIOR, CHEAP MATERIALS, MOST IMPORTANTLY IT IS NOT SAFE. IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THERE IS AN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD THAT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD SPLINTERS INTO SHARP DEADLY PROJECTILES. THIS COMPANY HAS A HISTORY OF COVERING UP INFERIOR PRODUCTS AND POOR DECISIONS RESULTING IN LOSS OF LIFE AND FINANCIAL LOSS. GM CONTINUES TO EXPECT CUSTOMERS AND TAXPAYERS TO SUFFER FOR THEIR LACK OF QUALITY AND POOR DECISIONS. GM NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND REPLACE DANGEROUS AND DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS OR THEY WILL CONTINUE TO CUT CORNERS AND HIDE ISSUES. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW GM TO EXPLOIT HARD WORKING FAMILIES. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE WERE DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK WENT TO 20MPH. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND SAW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, AND ALSO THERE WERE OTHER MESSAGES SAYING THAT TRACTION CONTROL WAS OUT, VEHICLE STABILITY WAS OUT, ETC. I WAS A COUPLE OF MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP SO I CALLED THEM. LUCKILY THEY WERE OPEN ON SATURDAY. I TOOK IT THERE AND HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 18,500 MILES ON IT. THE SERVICE MAN SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE LITTLE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE SHOWS THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR
