THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND CONTINUES TO CRACK EVEN MORE. THE VEHICLE IS HARDLY DRIVEN AND IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE OUT OF THE SUN. IT IS NOT A DAILY DRIVER BUT ONLY USED ON THE WEEKENDS FOR FUN. THE CRACKS ARE GETTING BIGGER AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE AIR BAGS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE DRIVEN MANY VEHICLES IN MY LIFETIME AND THESE ARE THE WORST HEADLIGHTS I HAVE EXPERIENCED. A VERY SHORT CUTOFF AND WORST OF ALL, NO SIDE ILLUMINATION. I AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT AND GOD HELP YOU IF IT IS NIGHT AND RAINING.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASHBOARD HAS MAJOR CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG AND THE CLUSTER AREAS. WHEN YOU SPEND 45,000 OR MORE ON A VEHICLE YOU EXPECT A QUALITY PRODUCT. I SOLD MY BMW 750 LI AND PURCHASED THIS GMC SIERRA 1500 DENALI 2011. I HAVE VIEWED MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME CONCERNS AND/OR ISSUES AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THIS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE PART THAT GM DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS. AMERICA IS BETTER THAN THIS. I KNOW THIS DOES NOT MATTER BUT I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER AMERICAN VEHICLE AND HAVE PURCHASED A LOT OF VEHICLES DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN. LET'S DO THE RIGHT THING!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I DRIVE A 2005 SIERRA 1500 4 WHEEL DRIVE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE TRUCK WENT FROM NORMAL 2 WHEEL DRIVE (D ON THE STEERING COLUMN), INTO NEUTRAL. I DID NOTHING TO CREATE THIS ACTION . THE SITUATION WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I DID PULL OFF AFTER OTHER DRIVERS ALMOST CRASHED DUE TO MY IMMEDIATE DECREASE IN SPEED. ONCE STOPPED I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE STEERING WHEEL SHIFT LEVER TO PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE OR PARK. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT, EVEN WITH FOOT ON THE BREAK. I NOTICED MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE SELECTOR SWITCH WAS NOT ILLUMINATED. I PUSHED THE 2WD BUTTON AND IT MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE. I TRIED THE AUTO 4WD BUTTON AND THEN WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING LEVER BACK TO PARK AND THEN TO D FOR DRIVE. NOW WHEN I SLOW TO TURN THE TRUCK DROPS INTO LOW 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHICH MAKES THE TRUCK SLOW TO 10 MPH MAX. THIS COULD GET ANYONE KILLED EVEN IF INITIALLY ONE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO TURN. THERE ARE 100S OF FORUMS ON THE INTERNET DEALING WITH EXACTLY THIS PROBLEM YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND NOT HAD THE CHANCE TO TELL? HOW MANY MORE MUST DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE?

NOTICED A CRACK DEVELOPED IN THE DASH, AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SEAM, SHORTLY AFTER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY ENDED. STILL HAD ROUGHLY A YEAR LEFT ON THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL OR ANYTHING THEY COULD DO, BUT ALSO STATED THAT THEY HAD SEEN MANY TRUCKS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. 3 YEARS OLD AND THE DASH HAS ALREADY CRACKING??? CONCERNED THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE, IF THE AIRBAG EVER HAS TO DEPLOY. WOULD HAVE REPORTED IT SOONER, IF I KNEW ABOUT THIS SIGHT.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH FOR NIGHT DRIVING ON COUNTRY ROADS WITHOUT STREET LIGHTS, ON BRIGHT OR DIM MODE. THESE ARE THE WORSE HEADLIGHTS ON ANY CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED, I PERSONALLY HAVE BOUGHT 4 BRAND NEW GMC PICKUPS, THIS IS THE WORSE. I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT TEST DRIVING AT NIGHT, I TRUSTED THEM, WRONG!

STRUCTURE:BODY
DESIGN FLAW IN CABIN AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM LEADING TO HEALTH HAZARD WITHIN THE VEHICLE. ON TWO OCCASIONS IN MY FIRST 16 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, MICE HAVE ENTERED THE COWL AIR PLENUM AREA AND BUILT NESTS ON TOP OF AND OUT OF THE CABIN AIR FILTER MATERIAL. BOTH TIMES THE FILTER HAS BECOME SATURATED WITH MOUSE DANDER, FECES AND OTHER MATERIALS. EVENTUALLY THESE CONTAMINANTS WORK THEIR WAY THROUGH THE FILTER AND AN ODOR IS NOTICED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE MICE ARE BELIEVED TO ENTER THIS AREA THROUGH SIGNIFICANT UNSCREENED OPENINGS AT THE ENDS OF A PLASTIC COVER OVER THE PLENUM IN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER AREA UNDER THE HOOD. I HAVE CONTACTED GM WITH REGARD TO THIS DESIGN FLAW. THEIR ONLY RESPONSE WAS TO ESTABLISH THEIR CASE NUMBER 711507394608. NO FURTHER ACTION WAS TAKEN. SO FAR, MY DEALER HAS CONTINUED TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE AND INSTALL NEW CABIN FILTERS. NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO BLOCK OR SCREEN THE OPENINGS. THE TRUCK IS REGULARLY GARAGED WITH TWO OTHER NON-GM VEHICLES THAT DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. INDIVIDUALS WITH RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANT PLENUM DESIGN FLAW IN THESE GM TRUCKS.
