EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I OWN A 2015 GMC SIERRA. I BELIEVE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM. A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASING MY TRUCK NEW OFF THE LOT I MISSED TURNING ON MY STREET (THAT I HAVE LIVED ON FOR 3 YEARS) BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE THE SIGN OR THE ROAD PROPERLY. I ENDED UP IN MY NEIGHBOR'S DITCH. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO DAMAGE, BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON FAMILIAR ROADS DUE TO THE INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT LIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS PRODUCE. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AFTER DARK ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD WITH 35 MPH SPEED LIMITS. THERE WAS NOT ANY ADDITIONAL STREET LIGHTING AROUND TO PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHTING.

AIR BAGS
ON 20 MARCH 17, I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD WHEN A DOG ENTERED THE ROADWAY. I SWERVED RIGHT AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CORRECT, WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF OVER STEERING AND POSSIBILITY ROLLING MY TRUCK. I WENT THROUGH A SMALL DITCH MY SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD.I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND COULD NOT SEE ANY DAMAGE. I RETURNED TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE AND CONTACTED MY INSURANCE,TOW COMPANY AND THE LOCAL SHERIFF DEPT, NOBODY INCLUDING THE REPAIR FACILITY COULD DETECT ANY DAMAGE ASIDE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER AND THE SERVICE FACILITY BOTH EXPRESSED THEY ARE FAMILIAR OF SUCH ACCIDENTAL SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE.,

ENGINE
AT 80000 MY TRUCK IS GOING THROUGH 4 TO 6 QTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. AS A MASTER TECHNICIAN THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE POOREST EXCUSE FOR ENGINEERING I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS WITH THIS AFM SYSTEM THEY HAVE. I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOST AN ENGINE BY 100000 MILES. WITH TODAYS TECHNOLOGY THAT'S A BAD JOKE ON THE CONSUMER. WITH SHORTER INTERVALS AND SOME ADDITIVE'S I HAVE MANAGED TO GET TO 1 QT EVERY 1900 MILES AND THAT'S AS GOOD AS IT GETS.

FOR THE AIR BAG, THE LIGHT CONTINUALLY GOES ON AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO DEALER; THEY SAID IT WAS FINE, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT LATER; DEALER SAID THAT WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND IT WOULD COST ME $800. I JUST LEFT IT ALONE. LIGHT CONTINUALLY GOES ON AND TURNS ITSELF OFF. FOR THE SEAT BELT, BACK SEAT MIDDLE, THE DEALER REPAIRED IT TWICE, BUT ONCE WARRANTY EXPIRED THAN THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT ANYMORE UNLESS I PAID. FOR THE GAS, I PUMP GAS AND IT CONSTANT CAUSES PUMP TO POP AND SHUT OFF. THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM AT DEALER, BUT ONCE WARRANTY EXPIRED THEY STOPPED. I HAD TO PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS TRUCK ARE THE WORST PERFORMING LIGHTS I HAVE EVER USED. THEY EMIT A VERY POOR AMOUNT OF LIGHT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT AND BARELY ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT IF IT IS RAINING. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE POOR LIGHTING. I HAVE HAD THE UPGRADE DONE BY GM AND THAT DID NOT MAKE THESE LIGHTS MUCH BETTER AND DEFINITELY DID NOT MAKE IT SAFER TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE LIGHTS WITH THE UPDATED VERSION THEY HAVE INSTALLED IN THE 2016 MODELS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY TRUCK DIED IN TRAFFIC BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET STARTED AND HOME (2 MILES). MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I AM READING A CODE U0191, WHICH REFERS TO THE FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE. I HAD TO PURCHASE A BATTERY BECAUSE I HAD A BATTERY DRAINING ISSUE AND WAS HAVING TO JUMP IT IF IT SAT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. MY TRUCK WILL NOT START AT THIS TIME. AFTER DOING SOME CHECKING, BOTH MY FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FLOW MODULE FUSES ARE HOT EVEN WITH THE TRUCK IGNITION OFF. WHICH WOULD INDICATE A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM. AFTER SOME RESEARCH , I FOUND A SAFETY RECALL THAT DESCRIBES THE EXACT ISSUE BUT MY VIN DOESN'T COME UP IN THE RECALL. RECALL BULLETIN # 14515B . I GUESS WHAT I AM ASKING IS WHY WASN'T MY VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? APPARENTLY THIS IS AFFECTING MORE VEHICLES THAT WHAT THE RECALL INCLUDED.
