SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS THE FUEL LINES NEEDED REPLACEMENT AS THEY HAD RUSTED SO BADLY THAT A LEAK FORMED. YESTERDAY WHILE PULLING MY 10,000 POUND BOAT, MY BRAKES SUDDENLY FAILED BECAUSE OF A LEAK IN THE LINE BETWEEN THE ABS BOX AND THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE NEARLY CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND BOAT. I WAS ABLE TO DOWNSHIFT AND USE BY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO BRING THE RIG TO A STOP.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AUGUST 2015. THE HEADLIGHT PROJECTION AND ILLUMINATION ON THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY POOR ESPECIALLY DURING WET ROADS OR RAINING CONDITIONS. I HAVE TO USE THE FOG LIGHTS AT ALL TIMES AND STILL DO NOT HAVE ADEQUATE LIGHTING. I FEEL THIS SITUATION CAN AND WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO LACK OF PROPER LIGHTING. I WAS APPALLED TO FIND OUT GENERAL MOTORS ONLY USE A SINGLE HALOGEN BULB INSTEAD OF A DUAL FILAMENT LAMP OR A COMBINATION LOW AND HIGH BEAM LAMPS. I PERSONALLY NEARLY HIT A PEDESTRIAN DURING A RAINY SITUATION, AND ALSO FEEL UNSAFE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE AT DARK.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHT DESIGN IS TERRIBLE. I GET AT BEST 40FT. OF LIGHT PROJECTION ON LOW. WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS ARE ENGAGED I GET NO FURTHER PROJECTION BUT I GET A HIGHER PROJECTION. IT DOES A GREAT JOB LIGHTING THE TOPS OF THE TREES BUT THAT'S ABOUT ALL. UNBELIEVABLE SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING IN RURAL SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE ON VEHICLE FROM CERTIFIED GMC DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, A FEW DAYS AGO WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE BOTH THE ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DISPLAY LOW ENGINE WARNING AND LOSING ALMOST ALL ACCELERATION. TOOK IT IN TO DEALERSHIP, AND WAS CHARGED NEARLY $800 FOR REPAIR.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE SHAKES & VIBRATES AT SPEED I & OTHER OWNERS ARE REPORTING THAT CONDITION LEADS TO HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, AND NAUSEA. THIS TRUCK IS A REPLACEMENT FOR A 2014 THAT EXHIBITED SAME ISSUES. 2014 WAS TRADED FOR 2016 WITH $$ ASSISTANCE FROM GM WHEN THEY DID ADMIT THERE WAS NO FIX FOR VIBRATION ISSUES. APPARENTLY VIBRATION ISSUES AFFECT 2014, 2015, AND NOW 2016 MODELS. DEALERS ARE FLOODED WITH COMPLAINTS AND VEHICLES IN FOR REPAIR, BUT THERE IS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE. GM IS QUIETLY DOING BUY BACKS OR OFFERING TRADE ASSISTANCE. MY 2016 IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP. GM FACTORY REPS HAVE CONFIRMED THAT MY TRUCK DOES SUFFER VIBRATION ISSUES. THIS ISSUE ALSO AFFECTS THE CHEVY SILVERADO, CHEVY TAHOE, AND GMC YUKON. THIS IS WHAT GM BUILT WITH TAX PAYER MONEY! I HAVE DETAILED SERVICE REPORTS FOR 2014 TRUCK AS WELL AS CORRESPONDENCE FROM GM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FROM THE FACTORY THE HEADLIGHTS THAT COME ON THIS VEHICLE ARE SUB-STANDARD AND A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN OPERATING AT NIGHT. NOT ONLY IS LIGHT OUTPUT POOR, BUT THE WIDTH OF THE BEAM IS HORRIBLE. WHEN TURNING AT NIGHT THERE IS ZERO COVERAGE AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR TURN WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SEE PROPERLY. THESE PROBLEMS PERSIST AT ANY TIME HEADLIGHTS NEED TO BE UTILIZED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM AND ARE UNSAFE. IN MY 50+ YEARS OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED HEADLIGHTS SO BAD. I LIVE IN A DARK RURAL AREA WITHOUT ANY STREETLIGHTS AND LOTS OF BICYCLISTS AND DEER. I HAVE ALREADY HAD MANY NEAR MISSES ON RURAL ROADS, AND FEAR IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE THE ENGINE WITH ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT AND AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INSTATE THE ENGINE GOES IN TO FAILURE MODE. LIFTER COLLAPSED TEARING THE CAM UP AS WELL. SPENT ABOUT 3000 DOLLARS HAVING ISSUE FIXED WITH NEW GM PARTS ONLY TO HAVE IT FAIL AGAIN. CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IT'S FROM FAULTY PARTS AND IT WAS THE CUSTOMERS PROBLEM. THE ENGINE SMOKES BAD AND BURNS OIL AND RAW GAS SITS ON THE PISTON WITHOUT BEING BURNED OFF PROPERLY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEAD LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND I CAN NOT SAFELY SEE THE PATH I AM TRAVELING. AN UPGRADE WAS PERFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP WHICH HELPED SOMEWHAT BUT I STILL CAN NOT SAFELY SEE THE PATH I AM TRAVELING. I DREAD DRIVING THIS TRUCK AT NIGHT AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DOING SO.
