AFTER INSPECTION FOUND THAT DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE REAR EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS WHERE BROKE OFF ALLOWING UNFILTERED EXHAUST TO PASS. IF LEAK WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO BAD THE HIGH TEMPERATURE OF THE EXHAUST COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE EXHAUST ALSO BROKE WELDS OFF THE EXHAUST CAUSING THE EXHAUST TO FALL THE BREAK IS WHERE THE H-PIPE COME TOGETHER. *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

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

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

I JUST READ THE SAFETY NOTICE FOR GMC 2007 YUKON INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES DELAMINATING AND CREATING SHARP CUTTING EDGES (EA 10004). THE EXACT SAME THING HAS HAPPENED ON MY 2008 GMC DENALI SIERRA (DRIVER SIDE) - I'VE SLICED MY FINGER A 3RD TIME AND AM NOW HAVING THE HANDLE REPLACED AT A COST OF $240. WHEN I CALLED GMC CUSTOMER COMPLAINT LINE THEY OFFERED NO HELP JUST EXCUSES...POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE...WOW, NO WONDER GM WENT BANKRUPT!! *TR

EXTERNAL LEFT REAR DOOR HANDLE PULLED OFF WHEN SIMPLY OPENING THE DOOR 11/15/2010. EXTERNAL LEFT FRONT DOOR HANDLE PULLED OFF WHEN SIMPLY OPENING THE DOOR 12/15/2012. TWO DOOR HANDLES POP OFF ON A NEW VEHICLE NOT A DEFECT? SAME FLIMSY PLASTIC FASTENER ATTACHMENT BROKEN IN BOTH CASES. GOOGLE SEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT EXPERIENCED BY NUMEROUS OWNERS THAT GMC AND CHEVROLET WILL NOT ADMIT TO. THE GMC DEALER EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED IT'S A DEFECT! REPAIR COST - $300/HANDLE! *TR
