SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SUPPOSEDLY THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN FIXED FOR THE RECALL, HOWEVER, IF I AM DRIVING AS LOW SPEEDS LIKE IN A PARKING LOT, THE ABS WILL KICK IN CAUSING ME TO NOT COME TO A STOP WHEN NEEDED. I HAVE ALMOST HIT SEVERAL VEHICLES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ISSUES WITH THE RADIO WORKING, SPECIFICALLY BEING ABLE TO ADJUST THE SOUND LEVEL. I HAVE ISSUES WITH THE MIRRORS BEING ABLE TO MOVE LIKE THEY SHOULD. BOTH OF THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE PERMANENT, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I AM PARKED OR DRIVING, THEY DO NOT WORK AT ALL. THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN OCCURRING FOR YEARS AND THERE WAS NO CHANGE WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR THE RECALL. THE MOST RECENT ISSUE IS NOW MY EVAP SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THAT WILL COST TO FIX ON A VEHICLE THAT ONLY HAS 100,000 MILES ON IT. CAN'T WAIT TO GET THAT BILL!

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE IS STUCK IN 4WD HI EVEN THOUGH THE INDICATOR IS SET TO 2WD. WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDFS THE VEHICLE APPLIES THE REAR BRAKES. THE BRAKES DO NOT APPLY WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, ONLY WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS. IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE TURNS FROM STOPS OR PARKING.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE ALWAYS HAS A SMELL OF DAMPNESS AFTER A RAIN. SOMEHOW WATER IS GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED THE SEAL AROUND THE THIRD-BRAKE LIGHT WHICH WAS THOUGHT TO BE THE CULPRIT, BUT NO FIX. THE REAR SEAT METAL HAS RUST ON THEM FROM THE DAMP. THE DRIVER'S SEAT CREAKS WHEN MAKING TURNS. IT IS LIKE IT ABOUT TO COME APART. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. PEOPLE COULD GET HURT IF IT HAPPENS. LE UNDER THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT A BODY-MOUNT IS MISSING UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS COULD BE THE REASONS FOR THE CREAKING. I AM NOT SURE!

SERVICE BRAKES
BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN REVERSE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND BRAKE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE LIKE IT SHOULD. THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL ALREADY ON IT FOR THE VACUUM PUMP FAILING CAUSING A LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. I GOT THE RECALL REMEDIED ( SUPPOSEDLY BY INCREASING THE VACUUM PRESSURE BUT NOW 6 TO 7 MONTHS LATER THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING IN LOW SPEEDS DOWN RESIDENTIAL AREAS WITH KIDS PLAYING ETC AND YOUR BRAKES FAIL YOU THIS ULTIMATELY CAN CAUSE VERY SERIOUS INJURY IF NOT DEATH. AND TO KNOW THEY PUT A RECALL OUT THAT SUPPOSEDLY FIXES THE ISSUE AND IT DOSENT FIX ANYTHING MAKES IT WORSE BECAUSE YOUR CHEAP AND DONT WANT TO REPLACE A VACUUM PUMP IS UTTERLY DISTURBING AND DISGUSTING

SERVICE BRAKES
MY TRUCK STILL HAS THE HARD BRAKING ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED. I RECEIVED A SECOND LETTER AND TOOK IT BACK INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE REPROGRAM HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED AND THAT WAS ALL THEY COULD DO. I HAD IT AT THE MECHANIC FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD I WAS GOING TO NEED A NEW BRAKE VACUUM. HE EXPERIENCED THE SAME HARD BREAKING ISSUE WHEN HE WAS TEST DRIVING IT. I TRAVEL AND DRIVE MY TRUCK A LOT AND MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING HOME THE OTHER NIGHT BOTH HEADLIGHTS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. LOST BOTH HIGH BEAM AND LOW BEAM. TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THEM ON WITH NO LUCK. INTERMENT PANEL SHOWED THAT THEY WERE STILL ON. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS AS I HAS TRAVELING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I HAD FOG LIGHT TO GIVE ME SOME LIGHT TO GT OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY.

SERVICE BRAKES
2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. HAD THE BRAKE PUMP VACUUM RECALL PERFORMED NOT TOO LONG AGO. THIS ISSUE ACTUALLY SEEMS WORSE NOW. I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT - LOW SPEED WAS THE ISSUE PREVIOUSLY- AND APPLIED THE BRAKE. NOTHING HAPPENED, NO BRAKES (PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED) TRUCK CONTINUED TO BACK OUT AND I HAD TO JAM ON THE BRAKE AGAIN, ONLY THEN DID THE TRUCK BRAKE SYSTEM SHUDDER AND ENGAGE ENOUGH FOR ME TO STOP. THIS HAPPENS AT LOW LOW SPEEDS - CRAWLING TRAFFIC, PARKING LOTS ETC.... I GOT TO TAP THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW A BIT AND NOTHING OCCURS - OR THE PEDAL PUSHES BACK AT ME GIVING ME NO BRAKES. I HAVE TO COMPLETELY DISENGAGE THE PEDAL AND THEN FORCEFULLY ENGAGE THE PEDAL AGAIN TO GET ANY KIND OF BRAKING. I HAVE ONLY NOTICED THIS AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS. THIS IS TERRIBLY SCARY WHEN WE ARE CRAWLING DOWN A STEEP MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY WITH BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC AND I GET NO BRAKE RESPONSE. LIKE I SAID, THE TRUCK WENT IN FOR A RECALL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FIXED THIS ISSUE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SYMPTOM OF HOT AIR BLOWING WHILE USING THE A/C, STATIONARY OR WHILE OPERATING. FILLED WITH COOLANT WHICH ONLY LASTED ABOUT ONE WEEK. REVIEWED FORUMS AND TSB'S TO NOTE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CONDENSER. DEALER WANTED TO DIAGNOSE AND REPLACE ITEMS IN ORDER THAT DID NOT INCLUDE REPLACING THE CONDENSER AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST. PURCHASED A THIRD PARTY CONDENSER, VACUUM PUMP, AND NECESSARY FLUIDS AND ACCESSORIES AND REPLACED BY MYSELF. A/C HAS BEEN WORKING RELIABLY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. ALTHOUGH I SAVED ABOUT 2K DOLLARS (ALL MATERIALS COST ABOUT 500 HUNDRED DOLLARS), IT'S CLEAR THAT THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN AND SHOULD BE A RECALL.

CONSISTENTLY LOOSES BRAKING WHEN PARALLEL PARKING OR BACKING INTO PARKING SPOTS ALONG WITH STOP AND GO TRAFFIC BRAKES GO OUT AND YOU MUST STAND ON THE PEDAL TO STOP THE TRUCK. THIS BRAKING ISSUE HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES FAILED AS MY SON APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION. SUBSEQUENTLY, HE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE BROADSIDE. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED TO BOTH VEHICLES. THE DRIVER REPORTED THAT HE PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. AFTER I INVESTIGATED FURTHER FOR AN EXPLANANTION,I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON HIS BRAKE SYSTEM THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN BRAKE FAILURE. THE CRASH OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET.
