EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS DO NOT GIVE OFF ENOUGH LIGHT. THEY DON'T LIGHT THE ROAD FAR ENOUGH AHEAD AND ARE BAD OFF TO THE SIDES. IT'S HARD TO SEE OBJECTS IN THE ROAD AND HARD TO SEE STREETS YOU ARE TURNING ON. I HAVE ALMOST HIT DEER AND HAVE MISSED TURNS ON RURAL ROADS.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE UPPER DASH PANEL CRACKED AFTER BEING PARKED OUTSIDE. I THOUGHT SOMEONE BROKE IN AND HIT IT WITH SOMETHING, IT IS CRACKED DOWN CENTER OF INSTRUMENT PANEL TOWARD WINDSHIELD THEN ACROSS TO AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. MY FEAR IS THAT IF THE AIR BAG THAT IS PENDING RECALL INFORMATION PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYS AND PASSENGERS COULD BE HIT BY PLASTIC SHRAPNEL. ANOTHER CONCERN IS A CHILD GETS HAND OR ARM INJURED BY SIMPLY PRESSING TOO HARD ON FLIMSY DASHBOARD. I AM A 100% SERVICE CONNECTED COMBAT VETERAN AND NEED TO SELL TRUCK TO PURCHASE A VAN FOR TRANSPORTATION. THE CRACKED DASH IS HINDERING THE SALE AT A DECENT PRICE. THE DEALER SAID REPAIR IS AROUND $1200 AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY LAYING AROUND ANYWAY IF I AM UNABLE TO SELL IT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS IS THE THIRD GM VEHICLE OF THIS YEAR MODEL RANGE THAT I HAVE OWNED. ALL 3 HAVE RESULTED IN CATASTROPHIC CRACKING OF THE DASH, ALL THREE IN EITHER EXACT, OR CLOSE TO EXACT LOCATIONS. THESE CRACKS ARE CONNECTING TO THE AIRBAG, AND CONNECTING TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER FIELD OF VIEW. I HAVE POINTY SHARDS OF PLASTIC AND HOLES IN THE SIERRA I CURRENTLY OWN. I AM NO ENGINEER, HOWEVER I AM POSITIVE THAT IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, OR A FORWARD IMPACT COLLISION THAT MYSELF AND/OR MY FAMILY WILL HAVE MUCH MORE TO WORRY ABOUT THAN JUST THE IMPACT. OUTSIDE OF OPERATIONAL USE, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GENERAL MOTORS WOULD CONTINUE TO BALK ON ASSISTANCE PROVIDED TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. I LOVE GENERAL MOTORS TRUCKS, AND I NEVER WANT TO OWN ANYTHING DIFFERENT, BUT MY FAMILY BEING HARMED AND/OR THE CONSTANT EYESORE OF SUCH A NICE VEHICLE APPEARANCE BEING TAINTED IS EFFECTING MY OVERALL OPINION. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW MY FAMILY TO BE INJURED BY THE FAULTY DESIGN AND ENGINEERING OF THE INEVITABLE "SHATTERED DASH" OF THE GM'S THAT YOU GUYS HAVE COME TO KNOW OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS. IT IS ATROCIOUS AND AN ALL OUT SAFETY HAZARD.

ENGINE
RECENTLY PURCHASED A 05 GMC SIERRA 1500 HD WITH 6.0 VORTEC ENGINE. IT HAS A NOTICEABLE TICKING AND AFTER CHECKING MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS I FOUND THAT FOUR ARE BROKEN AND ALLOWING RAW EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE AIR. WITH THE BOLTS BREAKING THE MANIFOLD IS WARPED AND BROKEN. THIS IS ALL AT 94,000 MILES.

STEERING
THE STEERING RACK DEVELOPED A LOUD CLUNK THAT YOU COULD FEEL IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND HEAD OUTSIDE WHEN TURNED ABOUT 2/3 OF THE WAY TO THE LEFT. THE PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN ALMOST EVERY TIME THE WHEEL WAS TURNED. THE TRUCK COULD BE STANDING STILL OR MOVING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS HAVING A BAD STEERING RACK. THE TRUCK HAS 49000 MILES ON IT AND IT WAS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. I READ A LITTLE ONLINE ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THERE IS SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. SOMEONE STATED THAT THE NEW ONES ARE BUILT DIFFERENT THAN THE 2014 AND POSSIBLY 2015 MODEL YEARS. IF THE NEW ONES ARE UPDATED AND IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE MANUFACTURER WOULD FIX THEM BEFORE STEERING RACKS START FAILING.

I NOTICED GETTING INTO MY TRUCK TODAY THAT I HAD CRACKS IN MY DASH IN TWO SPOTS. ONE CRACK IS ABOVE MY INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE OTHER IS ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE, RUNNING TO WHERE MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYS FROM. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE THIS APPEARS TO BE A TREND THAT HAS AFFECTED OTHER GM OWNERS. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY EITHER THEY'D CUT INTO THE BAGS CAUSING THEM TO NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY, AND/OR, SEND SHARDS OF SHARP PLASTIC FLYING THROUGH THE VEHICLES CABIN--BOTH SITUATIONS COULD HAVE SERIOUS/CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT, THE ENGINE WANTS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE GOING AT THE SAME SPEED AND FIGHTS THE BRAKE SO THE VEHICLE CANNOT STOP. SHIFTING THE GEAR SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL ALLOWS THE BRAKES TO WORK BUT THE ENGINE RPM REVS UP TO 2500 RPM FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS BEFORE DROPPING TO IDLE. IF THE DRIVER DIDN'T APPLY THE BRAKES HARD ENOUGH OR SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD OVERPOWER THE BRAKES AND DRIVE INTO ANYTHING AHEAD. ANALOGY: IT ACTS AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON (AND IT'S NOT) AND TRIED TO KEEP THE SAME FORWARD SPEED NO MATTER THE BRAKE APPLICATION. DEALER CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, NO ALERT WARNING LIGHT. SOME TIMES, GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, TAKING FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR AND EXPECTING VEHICLE TO START SLOWING DOWN, IT STAYS AT SAME SPEED FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS BEFORE DROPPING RPMS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING, INTERMITTENTLY, FOR A FEW MONTHS.
