FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN AND OR MATERIALS USED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE ASSEMBLY LOCATED ON THE TOP OF THE TANK HAS PREMATURELY CORRODED AND CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE AS WELL AS CONTAMINATING THE ENVIRONMENT. GAS IS LEAKED OUT OF THE UNIT AND CAN BECOME VERY DANGEROUS IF UNNOTICED OR NOT REPAIRED. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2012 AND HAS ONLY SEEN 4 WINTERS. MECHANICS AT THE GARAGE STATED IT WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE THEY HAD SEEN IN NUMEROUS VEHICLES AND CAUSED BY A POOR DESIGN IN WHICH SNOW AND SALT CAN ACCUMULATE ON TOP OF THE TANK RATTING THE UNIT AND GAS LINES PREMATURELY. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY WERE NOT CONCERNED AND CONSIDERED IT "NORMAL" WEAR AND WAS AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION. GAS LEAKS WHEN STATIONARY AND IS LEAKED WHEN SYSTEM IS PRESSURIZED SPRAYING THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE AND A MAJOR CONCERN FOR POTENTIAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION WHEN GASOLINE IS VAPORIZED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. YOU CAN NOT SEE SIDES OR IN FRONT OF YOU . I HIT A DEER STANDING N THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, DID NOT SEE IT TILL IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. MY WIFE HAS A 2006 TAHOE AND HER HEADLIGHTS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN THE ONE IN A 2014. GMC NEEDS TO FIX IT BEFORE PEOPLE START DYING

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

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO STABILITRAK, THE ONBOARD COMPUTING SYSTEM. WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE, LOSS OF POWER CAN OCCUR. USUALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE POWER JUST 'FLICKERS' ON AND OFF, SOME TIMES REPEATEDLY. THE BREAKING MECHANISM SEEMS TO BE SOMEWHAT AFFECTED BY THIS. AT SLOWER SPEEDS, THE SAME PROBLEM CAN OCCUR, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND FORCES MY TRUCK TO TURN HARD TO THE LEFT. EACH TIME THE PROBLEM OCCURS, "STABILITRAK ERROR" AND "LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL" OR SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF "LOSS OF POWER, DANGER" WILL APPEAR -- ALTHOUGH, IT IS USUALLY JUST SOMETHING RELATING TO "STABILITRAK". I'VE NEARLY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ~3 TIMES. IT'S NO QUESTION A DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND TO PEDESTRIANS. GM HAS BEEN GETTING SUED LIKE CRAZY, AND IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THEY ARE AVOIDING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OF THIS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2014 GMC SIERRA HAS VERY DIM HEAD LIGHTS, VERY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE YOUR OWN LANE AT TIMES IN THE DARK. ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHEN IT'S RAINING AT NIGHT. MANY TIMES I'VE HAD TO DOUBLE CHECK TO MAKE SURE MY HEADLIGHTS WERE ON BECAUSE THERE SO DIM IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THERE ON AT ALL. IT MAKES FOR VERY NERVE RACKING DRIVING AT NIGHT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE HEADLIGHTS, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR GMC DRIVERS AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD.. TEST DRIVE ONE IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT OUT IN THE COUNTRY.. NOT IN TOWN , WITH STREET LIGHTS!!! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
LOST ALL BRAKES ON MY 01' GMC SIERRA 1500 SLE 4X4 WHILE BRAKING ON AN OFF RAMP, PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. BRAKE LINES APPEAR TO BE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT, WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE WHEN I HAVE A 5 YEAR OLDER HONDA CIVIC, WITH 110K MORE MILES ON IT, AND THE BRAKE LIKES DO NOT LOOK NEAR AS BAD. BOTH SPENT THEIR LIVES IN MINNESOTA / WISCONSIN. AFTER DOING SOME GOOGLING, IT APPEARS THIS IS EXTREMELY COMMON WITH 2000-2003 GM TRUCKS. IF THIS WASN'T A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, WOULDN'T ALL UNCOATED BRAKE LINES RUST OUT AT SIMILAR RATES, IN THE SAME CONDITIONS? MIND BOGGLING THAT GM IS ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH NOT HAVING TO SPEND THE CASH TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. AS IF THAT MONEY IS WORTH MORE THEN THE PERSONS LIFE. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
I HAVE A LARGE SECTION OF MY DASH PAD BROKEN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I ALSO HAVE A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED FROM ABUSE BUT FROM INFERIOR MATERIALS. IT APPEARED SOMETIME IN 2015 WITH ABOUT 130,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE NEW. MY CONCERN IS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, ALONG WITH THE DANGEROUS TAKATA AIRBAGS THAT I'M STILL WAITING TO BE REPLACED, WILL PLASTIC BE SENT THROUGH THE AIR FROM AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT?, OR WILL WE WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED TO GET GM TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION.BY THE WAY GM HAS SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE AND TOLD ME THEY ARE WAITING ON PARTS. THAT HAS BEEN OVER 3 MONTHS AGO. I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER TRUCK FOR AIRBAG RECALL.JUST FOR THE RECORD MY WIFES 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 RECEIVED A CRACK IN THE DASH AT ABOUT 80,000 MILES. THIS IS AN EPIDEMIC BUT I SURE GM WILL ESCAPE AGAIN JUST LIKE IN THE PAST. IT TAKES ONE SMALL FRAGMENT IN THE RIGHT PLACE SUCH AS AN EYE TO CHANGE SOMEONES LIFE FOREVER. JUST THINK IF IT WAS SOMEONE YOU LOVED SITTING IN THAT TRUCK.

TAKATA RECALL. THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE VEHICLE'S PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE RECALL HAS BEEN ACTIVE FOR WELL OVER A YEAR AND REMAINS IN 'INCOMPLETE' STATUS. THIS RECALL IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER. GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THE DAMAGE/INJURY/DEATH THAT CAN OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THE FAULTY AIRBAG, THIS DELAY IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE GMC DEALERSHIP IN LIBERTY LAKE, WA, GEORGE GEE, AND THEY HAVE MERELY REITERATED THAT A FIX IS NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR RECALL. FURTHERMORE, I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE MANUFACTURER NOTIFYING ME OF THE RECALL OR ITS STATUS.

1 DAY GOT IN TRUCK AND NOTICED THE DASH WAS CRACKED ON DRIVER SIDE BEHIND THE GAUGE CLUSTER AND AS I LOOKED I NOTICED IT WAS ALSO CRACKED AT THE 2 UPPER CORNERS OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 25000 MILE ON IT. GM WILL NOT PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED AND I'M WORRIED THAT IT CAN AFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE AIR BAGS
