ENGINE
MY RADIATOR HAS DEVELOPED A LEAK AND COOLANT IS ESCAPING WHEN ENGINE IS HOT. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE INCIDENTS WITH THE 2014-15 MODEL YEAR ISSUE. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE A LEAKING RADIATOR NEAR THE TOP RIGHT SIDE BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I OWN TWO GMC SIERRA TRUCKS YEARS 2014 AND 2017 BOTH TRUCKS HAVE SEVERE LOCK UP ISSUES. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY RESET THE COMPUTER BUT THE BRAKES STILL LOCK UP. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD, AND MY WIFE AND I ARE EXTREMELY SCARED THAT WE WILL BE IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHERE WE HAVE ALMOST HIT A CAR OR PERSON WALKING. I AM REALLY CONCERNED THAT THESE VEHICLES WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY CHILDREN ARE ALWAYS IN MY TRUCKS END IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY WHEN EVERY TIME I HIT THE BRAKES I AM NOT SURE IF IT WILL STOP OR NOT. THIS IS AN IMPERATIVE MATTER. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM, CAUSING STALLING, VERY LOW ROUGH IDLE, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC, AT STOP LIGHTS ETC. THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY TRUCK IS INCLUDED IN A SAFETY RECALL BULLETIN #14515B JANUARY 2015, HOWEVER MY PARTICULAR TRUCK IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE THAT IS CAUSING THIS SAFETY HAZARD. MY BELIEF IS THAT GM RECALLED CERTAIN VEHICLES AND EXCLUDED SOME THAT SHOULD BE IN THE SAFETY RECALL SCOPE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
APRIL 9TH 2020 I WAS OPERATING MY VEHICLE A 2018 GMC SIERRA 3500 DENALI EQUIPPED WITH THE DIESEL PACKAGE. I WAS TOWING A BOBCAT SKID STEER ON A TRAILER WITH A TOTAL WEIGHT OF APPROXIMATELY 4300LBS. I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN I ENCOUNTERED A RED LIGHT. WITH PLENTY OF ROOM TO STOP I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS NORMAL. THEY INITAILLAY GRABBED AND SLOW MY TRAVEL TO ABOUT 40 MPH. THEN OUT OF WHAT SEEMED NOWHERE THE BRAKE PEDAL RAPIDLY WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE FREEWHEELED THROUGH THE LIGHT. I ATTEMPTED MULTIPLE TIMES TO EASE OFF THE PEDAL AND REAPPLY TO NO AVAIL. UPON ENTERING THE INTERSECTION I NEARLY CRASHED INTO A VEHICLE. WHEN I NEARLY I MEAN WITH INCHES. I IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED THE E-BRAKE BRINGING THE TRUCK TO A SKIDDDING HALT. AFTER DROPPING THE TRAILER OFF IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT MY VEHICLE WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER. THE SERVICE ADVISER WHO 1ST ENCOUNTERED THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE 1ST HAND.AFTER HAVING IT FOR NEARLY A WEEK THEY CALLED TODAY TO SAY 'THEY CAN'T FIND THE ANY ISSUES'. THAT MAKES THIS SITUATION EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. YOU'RE UNAWARE WHEN THIS CAN HAPPEN. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO HAVE A NEW RECALL IMMEDIATELY

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE HARD UP SHIFT AND DOWN SHIFT PROBLEMS THAT HAS AFFECTED ALMOST ALL GMC SIERRA PICKUPS WITH THE GM 8L90 AND 8L45 TRANSMISSIONS SINCE 2015. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO REPAIR FOR THE PROBLEM AND RESET THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHICH DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $2800 TO REPLACE THE VALVE BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION. WHAT IS THE NHTSA GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WHY HASN'T GMC BEEN FORCED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES.

SERVICE BRAKES
AT AROUND 1500 MILES MY TRUCK HAD A ROTATIONAL NOISE WHICH LED INTO CLICKING THE GRINDING AND SQUEALING, THEY CHANGED OUT THE FRONT AXLE AND ALL NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS ALONG WITH A BRAKING SOFTWARE UPDATE. THEY ASSURED ME I SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY MORE ISSUES. NOW AT 4,300 MILES I'M STARTING TO HAVE ROTATIONAL NOISE AGAIN AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 1 HOUR, OF COURSE THEY CANT DUPLICATE NOISE. THE TRUCK HAS HAD 5 RECALLS AND ALSO A 4WD PUMP DEFECTIVE ALL WITH 4,300 MILES. I AM FEARFUL THAT THE BRAKES WILL FAIL
