SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER ON MY K3500 TRUCK. RECENTLY THE MESSAGE "CHECK TRAILER WIRING" HAS BEEN COMING ON FREQUENTLY. AT THE SAME TIME, THE BRAKING CONTROLLER SHUTS OFF POWER TO THE TRAILER BRAKES. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION, ESPECIALLY WITH A TRAILER THAT WEIGHS OVER 14,000 POUNDS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 MONTHS NOW. REPEATED ATTEMPTS BY BOTH THE GMC DEALER AND THE TRAILER DEALER HAVE FAILED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD, BY THE DEALER, THAT THE PROBLEM STARTED APPROXIMATELY WITH THE 2014 MODELS. THE BRAKE CONTROLLER HAS BEEN UPGRADED, AND MADE MUCH MORE SENSITIVE TO SLIGHT DEVIATIONS IN THE TRAILER SYSTEM, CAUSING THE CONTROLLER TO "SHUT OFF" SO TO SPEAK. WHILE THIS WOULDN'T BE A BIG ISSUE NORMALLY, WHEN IT SHUTS OFF, YOU LOSE ALL BRAKING ABILITY TO THE TRAILER RESULTING IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THERE IS NO WAY TO OVERRIDE THIS AND ACTIVATE THE BRAKES. WHAT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING IS A VERY SLIGHT DEVIATION IN THE RESISTANCE IN THE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM (BY 1 OHM OR LESS) AND THAT CAUSES THE "SHUTDOWN" IN THE CONTROLLER. TRAILER BRAKES WOULD WORK, IF THEY COULD GET POWER. BUT, THE CONTROLLER HAS SHUT DOWN, SO NO POWER. MYSELF (AND THE TRAILER SHOP) HAVE BEEN CHECKING THE INTERNET AND FINDING THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. IT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING WITH ALL THE BIG THREE MANUFACTURER TRUCKS, SINCE ABOUT 2014. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMING UP WITH SOME RATHER "CREATIVE" WAYS AROUND THIS, IN SOME CASES ELIMINATING THE ORIGINAL SYSTEM ENTIRELY. THIS IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE. AGAIN, THIS "NEW SYSTEM THE BIG THREE ARE PUTTING IN IS FAR WORSE THAT THE OLD, SIMPLY BECAUSE IT HAS NO ROOM FOR FORGIVENESS IN A TRAILER SYSTEM THAT MIGHT WORK OTHERWISE, BUT HAS A SLIGHT DEVIATION IN WHAT IS CONSIDERED "ACCEPTABLE" TO THE CONTROLLER. AT THE VERY LEAST, THERE SHOULD BE A FAIL SAFE METHOD.

I CONTACTED GMC ON 10/26/2015 TO INFORM THEM THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD ON THE UPPER LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME BRIAN HARRIS GMC, THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM, REPLACED THE DASHBOARD UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. I ALSO TOLD ANDRE AT GMC I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 DOOR HANDLES AND NOW THE 2 BACK DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN AGAIN. ANDRE TOLD ME TO HAVE THE DEALER ASSES THE PROBLEM. DAVID, THE SERVICE REP. AT BRIAN HARRIS SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE DOOR HANDLES UNDER MY EXTENDED FACTORY WARRANTY, AND WAIVE THE DEDUCTIBLE, BUT GMC WILL NOT COVER THE DASHBOARD. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE DASHBOARD WAS NOT COVERED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS GMC"S OPTION. I DISAGREED AND EXPLAINED THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT IF THE AIRBAG DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY OR NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. IF IT DOES DEPLOY WILL IT THROW SHARDS OF PLASTIC AND INJURE THE PEOPLE IN THE TRUCK? HE SAID HE UNDERSTOOD BUT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. SO I NOW HAVE A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD OF MY TRUCK FOR THE SECOND TIME. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH MY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE, SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE CAME ON. THE VEHICLE STARTED RUNNING VERY ROUGH IT WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 50 MPH. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE INTO THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT. I TURNED IT OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY RAN TESTS AND SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY. TWO WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN SAME THING WHEN I TURNED IT OFF IT WORKED FINE AFTER SITTING FOR 10 MINUTES I GOT HOME AND WHEN I GOT A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT TO DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF. I HAVE READ A LOT AND FORUMS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO RESOLUTION TRULY BEING FOUND. THIS IS A 2011 GMC SIERRA 1500 WITH THE ALL-TERRAIN PACKAGE AND ONLY HAS ABOUT 60,000 MILES ON IT IT GETS OIL CHANGES REGULARLY. THIS REALLY MAKES ME THINK THIS IS SOMETHING GM SHOULD LOOK INTO.

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON A LITTLE BIT AGO BUT I HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME TO GET IT CHECKED DO TO MY CRAZY SCHEDULE. YESTERDAY WHILE MY TRUCK WAS SITTNG IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE TRUCK WAS NOT RUNNING AND THE KEYS WERE NOT OR NEAR THE TRUCK. THERE IS NO DAMAGE OR MARKS OF ANY KIND TO THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK SHOWING ANY SIGN OF IMPACT TO TRIGGER THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. I CALLED AND SPOKE TO GM AND THE RESPONSE WAS PRETTY MUCH THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE TRUCK IS NOW SITTING AT A LOCAL DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SPOKE WITH GM ALSO AND SAID THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK INTO IT BUT SOUNDED LIKE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO COVER IT EITHER. THIS IS A PIECE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT THAT FAILED IT SHOULD NOT EXPIRE WITH THE WARRANTY!!!

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND TOWING A 4000+ POUND BOAT, MY BRAKE PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS BRAKE FLUID LEAKING ON THE GROUND. I DETACHED THE BOAT AND ATTEMPTED TO SEE IF I COULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR FACILITY. THERE WAS NO BRAKING POWER AVAILABLE SO THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY. REPAIRS WERE AROUND $900 FOR A REPLACEMENT OF ALL THE RUSTED BRAKE LINES.
