EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUS! LOW BEAMS WITH FOG LIGHTS ON ARE ADEQUATE FOR <45 MPH. ANYTHING FASTER AND YOU CAN'T SEE FAR ENOUGH AHEAD. FORGET USING THE HIGH BEAMS. ON DIMLY LIT HIGHWAYS, YOU CAN'T SEE IN FRONT ON THE VEHICLE. THE HIGH BEAMS DON'T ILLUMINATE THE ROAD SO IT'S SAFER TO USE THE LOW BEAMS AND HOPE THE 100FT VISIBILITY WILL ALLOW YOU TO SLOW SLIGHTLY BEFORE KILLING WHATEVER HUMAN/ANIMAL/OBSTACLE PRESENTS ITSELF. THIS TRUCK IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY WITHOUT A RETROFIT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN ACCELERATING ON AN INCLINE OR HILL OR TRYING TO PASS TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE THE TRUCK HESITATES OR STUTTERS. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN APPLYING LIGHT ACCELERATION. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS HAVING DIFFICULTY FINDING THE CORRECT GEAR. THIS IS APPARENT TO BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THE TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 13,000 MILES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOUGHT A NEW 2015 SIERRA IN JAN 2016,AFTER I BOUGHT IT I DROVE FROM NEW BRUNSWICK TO MANITOBA AND IT WAS THE SCARIEST NIGHT DRIVE I HAVE EVER HAD (OVER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE )THE LOW BEAMS WERE DIM AND HAD NO USEFUL LIGHT PATTERN, AND HIGH BEAM JUST LIT UP THE TOPS OF TREES AND SIGNS, DRIVING THROUGH ONTARIO'S TWISTY HWY.I ALMOST WENT OFF THE ROAD MANY TIMES ,DUE TO THE POOR LIGHTS YOU WILL CORNER WITH OUT BEING ABLE TO SEE TILL YOUR STRAIGHT AND THE LIGHT HITS THE ROAD AGAIN. WHEN I ARRIVED IN MANITOBA I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A DEALERSHIP ,WHERE THEY REPLACED MY BULBS ,FLASHED THE BCM AND A LINED THE LIGHTS THE LIGHT IS A LITTLE BETTER BUT STILL NOT SAFE AS THEY STILL DON'T PROJECT MUCH LIGHT PATTERN. I CAN'T SEE STREET SIGNS ONLY THE BOTTOM OF THE POLES. AND HIGHS STILL POINT TO THE SKY WITH NO MORE ROAD LIGHT. RETURNED TO NEW BRUNSWICK AND BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN,AND THE SUGGEST THE SAME FIX AS WHAT THE MANITOBA DEALER JUST DID. STILL CANNOT DRIVE SAFE AT NIGHT.

ENGINE
TICKING NOISE BEGAN ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHED ~100,000 MILES. INITIALLY, THE TICKING ONLY OCCURRED ONCE THE ENGINE WAS STARTED. AS TIME WENT ON, THE TICKING BECAME MORE FREQUENT, TO INCLUDE UPON ENGINE START AND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER LOAD/ACCELERATING. AT APPROXIMATELY 108,000 MILES, THE TICK BECAME CONSTANT WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. GMC DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED LIFTER, WHICH, APPARENTLY, HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM IN GM 5.3L ENGINES. A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW ENGINE, OR EVEN NEW LIFTERS FOR THAT MATTER, AT 100,000 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, WITH MANY CONSUMERS REPORTING IT AND GM ACKNOWLEDGING IT. VEHICLES WITH THESE ENGINES SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO.
