AIR BAGS
SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHILE PULLING OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. GMC INFORMED ME THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT A SLOW SPEED AND AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BECAUSE FOOT WAS ON BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR AT SAME TIME.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
ON 2/5/2017 WHILE TURNING UNTO MY STREET THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULD NOT MOVE MY TRUCK FROM HITTING A BLOCK WALL. I ALSO TRIED BREAKING BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP IN TIME TO NOT HIT THE WALL. I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY (20 MPH) BECAUSE I WAS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND ME AND MY FAMILY WERE ALL WEARING SEATBELTS SO NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. AND I ALSO BENT THE STEERING WHEEL IN HALF TRYING TO MOVE IT. I AM ATTACHING A PICTURE OF THE STEERING WHEEL ITSELF AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT CALIBER COLLISIONS FOR THE REPAIRS. I WENT TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD RUN DIAGNOSTICS AFTER THE TRUCK COMES OUT OF THE SHOP.

POWER TRAIN
THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS A HARD SHIFT WHEN GOING FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR PARK TO 1ST GEAR. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS CAUSING A SHAKE SIMILAR TO RUNNING OVER INTERSTATE ROAD BUMPERS/ LINES. THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY RESET THE "LEARNING TRANSMISSION" FIXING THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY FOR A DAY OR TWO.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND DANGEROUS IN THIS VEHICLE. VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT AND DANGEROUS WHEN RAINING. IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FROM WHEN I BOUGHT IT. LIGHTING SHOULD BE BETTER ON A $50K TRUCK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED MY FIRST NEW VEHICLE IN OCT OF 2015. I'VE OWNED 4 VEHICLES SINCE I'VE HAD MY LICENSE, 2 DODGES AND 2 BMWS. I CHOSE A TRUCK I'VE DREAMED OF HAVING SINCE I WAS 16. I'M CURRENTLY 28. I CHOSE THE SIERRA DENALI. NOT ONLY WAS THIS MY FIRST NEW VEHICLE BUT THIS WAS MY FIRST TRUCK AND MY FIRST GM PRODUCT OF MY LIFE. NOW I'M TEETERING ON IT BEING MY LAST. THROUGH THE 14 MONTHS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE (SINCE 4 MILES) I'VE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES. MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HAS BEEN REBUILT NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. MY TRUCK HAS 45K ON IT. IT HAS NEVER TOWED HAULED OR OTHER WISE PERFORMED A TASK REQUIRING IT'S POWER OTHER THAN NORMAL DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN BABIED. CLEANED WASHED OIL CHANGED TIRES ROTATED AND 93 OCTANE FILL UPS. AMONGST OTHER ISSUES WERE THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER FREEZING. CVS AXLE SHAFTS PERFORMING ERRATIC ALONG WITH BUCKING SLAMMING AND NOISES THROUGH THE POWER TRAIN. A RANDOM LEAK IN THE LOWER OIL PAN THAT THE DEALER SAID WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THEY WERE AWARE OF. A AIRBAG SOFTWARE SAFETY RECALL AND A SHIFTING DRIVER SEAT THAT TENDS TO MOVE A BIT DURING CORNERING. NOW TO TOP ALL OF THOSE ISSUES OFF IN THOSE 14 MONTHS I NOW HAVE A LEAK THE EXTENDS OUT FROM THE EDGE ABOUT 5 INCHES FROM THE REAR WINDSHIELD ALL THE WAY FROM THE DRIVER SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE. I'M NOT IN BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD 100 DOLLARS AND IT WILL BE FIXED. IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE FIXED. NONE OF IT SHOULD HAVE. I HAVE HAD LESS ISSUES IN ALL 4 OF MY LAST VEHICLES PUT TOGETHER THAN THIS 1 VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED FOR 14 MONTHS AND I BOUGHT IT NEW. THIS HAS BEEN A BIG LET DOWN. A DISAPPOINTMENT 12 YEARS IN THE MAKING APPARENTLY. ONE THAT HAS MORE THAN RUINED MY DAY. I HONESTLY DON'T WANT THIS TRUCK. IT'S SCARRED FOR LIFE. THAT'S OBVIOUS AND NOT REVERSIBLE. BUT NOW I'M UNDER WATER ON A LOAN FOR A TRUCK THAT'S NOT WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN SCRAP METAL. THAT'S NEITHER RIGHT NOR FAIR. *TR

ALSO WHEN THE ENGINE SHIFTS FROM V8 TO V4 MODES. TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THREE (3) DEALERS SO FAR AND DID NOT SEE MUCH IMPROVEMENT IN THE VIBRATION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20TH 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 7:15PM WHILE DRIVING SOUTH ON NEW RIVER ROAD IN LINCOLN RI I TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET. WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT IT WAS SNATCHED OUT OF MY HANDS AND THE STEERING WHEEL AUTOMATICALLY TURNED BACK TO CENTER IT SELF. I COULD NOT MANEUVER THE VEHICLE AS IT ROLLED UP ONTO THE SIDEWALK WHERE I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO FORCE THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING INTO A TREE. THE VEHICLE DIC DISPLAYED "PARK ASSIST" AND AFTERWARDS THE VEHICLE WENT COMPLETELY DEAD...NO LIGHTS OR SOUNDS WHEN I TRIED TURNING THE KEY TO RESTART IT. LIFTED UP THE HOOD AND ALL THE ELECTRONICS CAME BACK ON AND VEHICLE STARTED. DIC PROMPT DISPLAYED "OPEN AND THEN CLOSE THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW" HAD VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR SERVICE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS IN THIS VEHICLE ARE UNSAFE. THE ARE DIM AND ONLY PROJECT OUT A SHORT DISTANCE AND VERY LITTLE TO THE PERIPHERY. THERE IS ALSO A DARK LINE IN THE FIELD OF VIEW WHERE ABOVE IT IS DARK AND BELOW IS DULL LIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP AND THE SOLUTION WAS TO UPGRADE THE LIGHT BULBS WHICH THEY DID. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I ESCALATED IT TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION.

POWER TRAIN
EXTREME LAG/DELAY- HARSH ENGAGEMENT WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE. ITS LIKE YOU ARE BACKING INTO SOMETHING? WHEN CRUISING 28-32 MPH AND RELEASING ACCELERATOR(AS IF YOU WERE COASTING INTO A TURN) WHEN SLOWING THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO SHIFT UP AND LUNGE ENTERING THE TURN. CLUNKS AND SHIFTS HARD WHEN CRUISING NORMALLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL AND SLIGHTLY REACCELERATE, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO HESITATE. VEHICLE SHUTTERS AND HARD ACCEL 10X WORSE WHEN TOWING A 7000 # TRAILER (TRUCK IS RATED OVER 12,000 LBS. TOWING).
