EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THESE TRUCKS ARE DIM TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS. I'VE HAD THE DEALER UPDATE PERFORMED, AND HAVE EVEN TRIED AFTERMARKET BULBS, TO NO AVAIL. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO TRADE IT IN I'M AFRAID AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT AFTER DARK. GM REALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS DESIGN, AND HAVE LEFT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS "IN THE DARK".

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUS! THEY PRODUCE A VERY NARROW STRAIGHT AHEAD LIGHT PATTERN. WE LIVE WHERE THERE ARE A LOT OF DEER AND YOU CAN'T SEE THEM ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ANY CURVE IN THE ROAD AND YOU'RE BLIND TILL YOU GET AROUND IT. ON A AIMING BOARD THEY PRODUCE A NARROW VERTICAL BAND OF LIGHT, IF YOU MARK THE HORIZON YOU FIND THAT HALF THE LIGHT IS SHING UP IN THE AIR. (THEY LIGHT UP THE TOPS OF TREES REAL NICE) BECAUSE OF THE 1 BULB DESIGN IF YOU ADJUST THEM DOWN TO GET THE HIGH BEAMS ON THE HORIZON THE LOW BEAMS WILL ONLY ILLUMINATE ABOUT 20 FEET OUT. IT IS JUST NOT SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK IN THE COUNTRY AT NIGHT. GM TRIED A BRIGHTER BULB BUT THE IMPROVEMENT WAS VERY MINOR. THE PROBLEM IS THE LENSE AND SHUTTER DESIGN.

THE DASH FORMED A CRACK STARTING FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG I AM WORRIED IF THE AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY IT WOULD CAUSE THE DASH TO BREAK, SHOOTING PIECES THROUGHOUT THE TRUCK AND CAUSE MORE DAMAGE THAN IT WOULD NORMALLY CAUSE WITHOUT A CRACK.

I HAVE A TRUCK WITH LESS THEN 44000 MILES AND HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE DASH RIGHT ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY CONCERN WILL BE WHAT GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN MY TRUCK IS INVOLVED IN A WRECK AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYS. PRETTY SAD THAT ALL THE MONEY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GAVE GM THEY COULDN'T BUILD A VEHICLE THAT LASTS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
EXTREMELY POOR/UNSAFE HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE PURCHASED NEW. "LURKING" IN FORUMS AND COMPLAINT WEB SITES ASSUMING A FIX WOULD BE FORTHCOMING. I GUESS NOT. INSUFFICIENT LIGHTING AT NIGHT IN RURAL SETTINGS WITH NO AMBIENT LIGHT. CANNOT SEE ANYWHERE NEAR THE DISTANCE REQUIRED TO DRIVE SAFELY AT POSTED LIMITS AND NON-EXISTENT SIDE LIGHTING. 2 NEAR MISSES WITH DEER GRAZING ON SIDE OF ROAD AS PROOF. I SPENT THE MONEY FOR GOOD AUXILIARY DRIVING LIGHTS AND A LIGHT BAR TO PUT THEM ON BUT ARE ONLY USEFUL WITH NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CURRENT REPLACEMENT BULBS/BCM REPROGRAM CAUSE LIMITED IMPROVEMENT WITH SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN BULB FAILURE FREQUENCY. 2016 REDESIGN ELIMINATED THESE LIGHTS AND RETROFIT TO 2014/15 HARDWARE IS AVAILABLE. GM SHOULD STEP UP!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I BOUGHT A NEW 2015 GMC SIERRA 4X4 FROM BOB KING AUTO IN WILMINGTON NC WITH 0 MILE'S ON IT VERY EXPENSIVE TRUCK. YOU CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT TO DRIVE THE HEADLIGHT'S THE HEADLIGHT'S HAVE NO DISTANCE TO THEM MAYBE 25 FT. AND NO SIDE VISION IN OTHER WORD'S YOU CAN'T SEE THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ALSO IF IT'S RAINING AT NIGHT YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING TERRIBLE HEADLIGHTS! MY TRUCK WAS LIKE THIS WHEN WE BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2015 AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING SINCE THEN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH GENERAL MOTOR'S CORPORATE IN DETROIT MI. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM TWICE AND THIS MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. IN MY OPINION GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE TRUCKS BEFORE SOMEONE GET'S HURT OR WORSE WHILE TRYING TO SEE WITH THESE DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHTS.
