SERVICE BRAKES
Brakes are not stopping the vehicle on short distances as it should. They are doing a clicking kind of noise and can feel pulses in the brake pedal as though ABS are trying to activate. I know there is a recall out but is saying my 2015 is not listed yet is doing the same thing that is described in the recall.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Tail Lights don't work. Have seen several complaints about this problem. There is currently a lawsuit concerning this. GMC will only cover replacement if car has less than 72,000 miles. The replacement lights cost about $800 each. Having it looked at now. Fear that I will have to pay replacement costs.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
This dashboard is literally falling apart on a daily basis. I keep windshield coverings on the windhsield when in the sun. the design is terrible, and the plastic (if you want to call it that) is very brittle almost if it's made of some sort of plant based material. this IS a safety hazard as the pieces that are coming off are sharp, and large. There is also an airbag recall to be completed in which they will absolutely add to the damage of my dash. GM as a company is cowardly in hiding from this issue. you know this should be a recall, and is costing YOUR customers a lot of unnecessary funding to fix an issue that you absolutely are responsible for. do the right thing. WE pay your salaries.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I have replaced the battery and alternator. My door locks keep locking and unlocking on the own while driving, all my electrical in my car dim and keep resetting, my gauges are going all over the place. My car will turn itself off. While stopped at a red light, it seems to want to go on its own. While not running, I get in to leave, and my key at times don’t want to turn over. Then at times I try to start it and it will tell me theft control and won’t crank. When I’m out of my vehicle at home, my car will lock itself when the setting is turned off. The problem has been going on for a year but only getting worse now.
