ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2018 GMC SIERRA HD EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRICAL SHORT OR OVERLOAD, CAUSING A THERMAL EVENT THAT MELTED AREAS AROUND THE REAR DEFROST CIRCUIT. LOTS OF SMOKE AND BURNING SMELL, BUT LUCKILY, I DID NOT SEE FLAMES. THE EXACT ISSUE IS CURRENTLY BEING ADDRESSED UNDER GM RECALL# "N192265660 REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER THERMAL EVENTS", HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THE ISSUE I HAD IS EXACTLY WHAT IS DESCRIBED AND I BELIEVE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I'VE ATTACHED A FEW IMAGES OF THE BURNED, MELTED AND BROKEN PARTS. AGAIN, I'M LUCKY THERE WAS ONLY SMOKE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND NO FIRE. PLEASE REVIEW AND ADVISE

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A BLUE SCREEN WITH THE "SERVICE REAR VISION SYSTEM" APPEARED INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I PUT MY TRUCK IN REVERSE. AT FIRST IT WOULD GO AWAY ONCE THE TRUCK HAD RESTARTED. I HAD THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECK IT OUT BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE IT. THE CAMERA SYSTEM IS NOT ALWAYS IN A BLUE SCREEN REGARDLESS IF I SELECT CAMERA OPTIONS FROM THE INFOTAINMENT MENU OR IF WHEN PUTTING THE TRUCK IN REVERSE. THE DEALER IS CURRENTLY HAVING ISSUES WITH GM PROVIDING THE RIGHT "CALIBRATION" TO FIX THIS ISSUE. WHEN THE CAMERA WAS WORKING, A STRANGE ISSUE OCCURRED IN ADDITION TO BLUE SCREENS. THE RIGHT SIDE CAMERA TURNED OFF AND REMOVED VISIBILITY FROM THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE MY VISIBILITY IS SEVERELY HINDERED WHEN REVERSING IN DARK OR DENSE CONDITIONS.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE LINES BUSTED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE I WAS HAULING A LOAD AND GOT EXTREMELY EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT IT BUSTED AS I WAS PULLING IN DRIVEWAY. I WAS PULLING A LOADED TRAILER WITH NO BRAKES. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2005 AND 2006 2500 TRUCKS. I CAN NAME 6 VEHICLES I KNOW OF IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO. MECHANIC SAYS IT'S A VERY SERIOUS AND COMMON ISSUE THAT GM SHOULD BE RECALLING. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN AT A STOPLIGHT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD. CHEAP MATERIALS IS THE PROBLEM WITH THESE BRAKE LINES. 2006 YEAR MODEL IS MINE.

AIR BAGS
WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY OF 2016 FOR A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. WE HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO HAVE IT REPLACED AT OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP BUT WE ARE TOLD EACH TIME THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. WHILE WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A MASSIVE RECALL, IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER 3 YEARS WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART. WE WERE TOLD OUR ONLY OPTION WAS TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER OR FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NTSB.

AIR BAGS
DASHBOARD CRACKED ADJACENT TO PASSENGER AIRBAG POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THERE IS BRITTLE PLASTIC IN THE AREA WHERE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WOULD TAKE PLACE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE BY ME AND MANY OTHERS AND YET NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN BY NHTSA OR GM FOR A REMEDY. I'M SKEPTICAL ABOUT WHETHER IT'S WORTH TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE SUCH REPORTS TO NHTSA WHEN YOUR RESPONSE SOUNDS MORE LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN BY GM CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS RATHER THAN THE PUBLIC SAFETY ADVOCATE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. YOU CLAIM THERE IS INSUFFICIENT DATA TO TAKE ACTION. MODEL YEARS AFFECTED ARE FROM 2007 THROUGH 2014 ON NUMEROUS GM NAMEPLATES IE: AVALANCHE, SILVERADO, TAHOE, SUBURBAN, YUKON (XL), SIERRA AND ESCALADE. ERRING ON THE SIDE OF SAFETY SHOULD, AT LEAST, PROMPT AN INVESTIGATION FROM THE DATA ALREADY RECEIVED. IT SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED THAT THIS DESIGN AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION OCCURRED WHEN GM WAS BEING BAILED OUT BY TAX PAYERS AND QUITE A FEW OF THEM ARE NOW LEFT HOLDING THE BAG WHILE THEY ARE POTENTIALLY AT RISK..

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2018 GMC SIERRA DENALI, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD, USUALLY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, THE TRUCK STARTS OUT IN FIRST GEAR AND THEN FEELS LIKE IT LACKS POWER OR TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND THEN BANGS INTO 2ND GEAR.THE MORE I DROVE THE TRUCK THE WORSE IT GOT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THERE IS A VIBRATION WITHIN THE TRUCK. THE FASTER YOU GO THE MORE OF A VIBRATION YOU FEEL. DURING THE VIBRATION THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT SHAKING AND WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE WHEEL THE TRUCK STAYS STRAIGHT, SO IT'S NOT THE FRONT END. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED, PELLEGRINO GMC, WHICH IS A 30 MINUTE DRIVE AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS. THE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS ADVISED PRIOR TO MY APPOINTMENT, THAT THE BANGING INTO GEAR ONLY HAPPENS WHEN ITS IS COLD. HE ADVISED ME THAT WHAT I WAS FEELING WAS A NORMAL SHIFT FOR MY TRUCK. I ADVISED HIM ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETINS AND HE STATED THAT IT DIDN'T PERTAIN TO MY TRUCK.THE MECHANIC TEST DROVE MY VEHICLE FOR 13 MILES AND DIDN'T FEEL THE VIBRATION. HE CHECKED THE ENGINE CODES AND FOUND NONE. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND IT HAS 6000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.
