AIR BAGS
ON AVERAGE, ABOUT EVERY 3RD TIME I DRIVE THIS TRUCK, BUT ALMOST EVERY TIME IF IT'S WET OR COLD, I GET A WARNING THAT THERE IS A MECHANICAL ISSUE WITH MY AIRBAGS. I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE, OR WHAT PART OF THE SYSTEM IS FAILING, BUT THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON THE ENTIRE TIME I'M DRIVING AND I GET NOTICES FROM ONSTAR THAT IT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. IT'S HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES FOR ME TO COUNT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED (OVER A YEAR AGO), I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING THE ISSUE, THEY THOUGHT IT WAS LIKELY ELECTRICAL AND COULD BE FIXED WITH A $1000 REPAIR.

STEERING
STEERING COLUMN SEPERATED AT THE TILT COLUMN PIVOT JOINT. TOTAL STEERING LOST. THE COLLAPSIBLE COLUMN SECTION ALLOWED THE PIVOT JOINT RETENTION TO DISSENGAGE ALSO SLIDE TOWARD ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE ARE TWO SET SCREWS, THAT WORK LOOSE (GOOGLE SEARCH OF ISSUE RESULTED IN LOTS OF DOCUMENTED CASES), AND SET SCREWS FELL OUT AND TOTAL STEERING COLUMN SHAFT SEPERATED AT PIVOT JOINT. NO INJURY, BUT ONLY DUE TO REMOTE COUNTY ROAD AT 7AM WITH NO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WENT INTO DITCH VS ONCOMING TRAFFIC ONLY DUE TO CROWN OF RURAL COUNTY ROAD. VEHICLE SPEED WAS MINIMAL AS I JUST EXITED A TURN IN INTERSECTION. VEHICLE TOWED. WILL UPLOAD PICS LATER OR PLEASE REQUEST THEM ALSO. I AM SAVING ALL PARTS AS THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. COLUMN WAS VERIFIED TO BE USED UP THRU AT LEAST 2017. BACKGROUND. AUTOMOTIVE MECHANICAL ENGINEER WITH 25+ YEARS EXPERIENCE IN COMMERCIAL TRUCK DESIGN INCLUDING STEERING SYSTEMS.

SERVICE BRAKES
GMC SIERRA WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR EXISTING RECALL REGARDING BRAKING. DEALER INDICATED RECALL HAD BEEN RESOLVED. WHILE BACKING THE TRUCK ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS SINCE RECALL ADDRESSED, BRAKES BECOME MUCH LESS RESPONSIVE WITH CLICKING SOUND. BRAKES BECOME HARD TO PRESS AND DO NOT STOP VEHICLE COMPLETE. THIS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE TOWING A BOAT DOWN RAMP. THE VEHICLE HAS 28,000 MILES AND THE ISSUE DID NOT OCCUR PRIOR TO ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS TONIGHT WHILE BACKING ON LEVEL GROUND INTO GARAGE. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS, BUT THE RECALL WAS NOT ADEQUATELY PERFORMED OR DID NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IN 2017. FOUND OUT ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL AND OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAVE WENT TO SEVERAL GMC DEALERSHIPS TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS TO FIX THE RECALL ISSUE AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CANT FIX IT WITHOUT THE PROPER AIRBAGS WHICH THEY DONT HAVE. HOW IS IT THAT THERE IS RECALLS, AND EVEN DEATHS BUT I HAVE TO FEAR DRIVING THIS TRUCK HOPING MY AIRBAG WONT DEPLOY? AND NO ONE CARES TO FIX THE ISSUE. I SPENT 2 THOUSAND DOLLARS THROWING PARTS INTO MY ENGINE TO FIND OUT. TWO LIFTERS IN THE ENGINE DOESN'T LIKE COLD WEATHER. WHEN THE TEMP DROPS BELOW 40 DEGREES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE RAISES ABOVE 40 DEGREES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. I CHASED THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS. THERE IS SOME MECHANICAL ISSUE HERE.
