FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING INTO DRIVEWAY APPLIED BRAKES , PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR NO WARNING LIGHT OR ANY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM GOT OUT OF TRUCK AND FOUND FLUID DRIPPING OFF FRAME BY FUEL TANK. RUPTURED LINE ABOVE TANK ON FRAME, OTHER BRAKE LINES ALSO LOOK CORRODED. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON GM TRUCKS . OWNERS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE LINES. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
VEHICLE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS HAVE VERY POOR COVERAGE AND BRIGHTNESS. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THEY BARELY LIGHT THE ROAD IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. COVERAGE SIDE TO SIDE IS VERY WEAK.

AIR BAGS
MY VEHICLE AIR BAG SENSORS HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT BOTH FRONT AIR BAG SENSORS ARE PART OF A KNOWN PROBLEM WHERE THE FACTORY TIGHTENED THE BOLTS TOO FAR MAKING THE SENSORS PRONE TO CRACK AND COLLECT MOISTURE. THIS MOISTURE THEN FREEZES AND THE SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS REPAIR IS VERY COSTLY AT OVER $200 PER SENSOR AND BOTH SENSORS NEED REPLACED. THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE LABOR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIR BAGS WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO HAPPEN. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ITEM THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON COUNTRY ROAD IN QUARRYVILLE PA. I CAME TO A HILL AND A STOP SIGN AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE. IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD VERY LIMITED BRAKING POWER AND TRAVELED THROUGH THE STOP SIGN ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. IT WAS A 4 WAY STOP INTERSECTION. AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED . BUT OH BOY DID I GET A DIRTY LOOK! ALL THE BRAKE FLUID WAS GONE OUT ONE HALF OF THE CONTAINER. LOOKING AT THE BRAKE LINES THEY ARE RUSTED THROUGH AND LEAKING. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS VEHICLE HAS A 2 PHASE(LOW/HIGH BEAM) SINGLE LIGHT THAT IS EXTREMELY WEAK/DIM TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE EXISTING LIGHTS ARE ACCEPTABLE AND PASSED WHATEVER STANDARD/REGULATION REQUIRED. AT NIGHT, WITH THE LOW BEAMS YOU GET ABOUT 30-50FT OF LIGHT OUTPUT WHICH EQUATES TO LESS THEN A SECOND OF REACTION TIME WHEN DRIVING. THE HIGH BEAMS SIMPLY LIGHTUP ROAD SIGNS TO THE POINT OF BLINDNESS WITH IT REFLECTION BUT DOES NOT LIGHT UP THE ROAD. I TYPICALLY DON'T WRITE UNLESS I FEEL THIS IS COMPLETELY WRONG. GM WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE ANYTHING BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THERE ARE SERIOUS INJURIES AND/OR DEATH DUE DIRECTLY TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOW SPENDING ANOTHER $800(ON TOP OF THE $55000) I PAID FOR THIS TRUCK TO GET AFTERMARKET HID LIGHTS. CAN YOU PROVIDE FEEDBACK AS THIS HAS BEEN A CONCERN AMONGST ALL OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. I CAN'T BELIEVE GM IS SWEEPING THIS ISSUE UNDER THE RUG SORT OF SPEAK. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH OWNERS WHO HAVE BEEN REFUNDED ANYWHERE BETWEEN $200-900 BUT THEY MUST SIGN CONFIDENTIALITY FORMS PRIOR TO RELEASE SO SOMETHING IS BEING HIDDEN. (PS-I LIVE IN ONTARIO CANADA...WONT LET ME INPUT CANADIAN RESIDENCE BELOW). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE TERRIBLE. VERY POOR ILLUMINATION FOR NIGHT DRIVING.THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THESE HEADLIGHTS, PICKUP IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.HEADLIGHTS LIGHT UP ROAD ABOUT 50-60 FEET AND OFFER VERY POOR SIDE VISION.HIGH BEAMS ARE USELESS AND SHINE UP IN THE TREES AND NOT ON THE ROAD.VEHICLE HAS PROJECTORS WITH ONLY A FLAPPER TO CHANGE HIGH/LOW BEAM.IHAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 40 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE WITH THIS POOR HEADLIGHT DESIGN. I CANNOT BELIEVE HEADLIGHT PASSED PHOTOMETRIC DESIGN CERTIFICATION (MAYBE THEY DID NOT) I HAVE COMPLAINED TO GMC BUT THEY SAY HEADLIGHTS ARE WORKING AS DESIGNED. HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED ONCE AND ADJUSTED SEVERAL TIMES BY DEALER.STILL NO REMEDY TO THE PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAD JUST REPLACED THE THIRD SET OF WHEEL BEARINGS, ASKED MY WIFE TO HOLD BRAKE SO THAT I COULD TORQUE AXEL NUT. WHEN SHE PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL, I SEEN BRAKE FLUID POURING DOWN THE FRAME OF TRUCK. CHECKED LINES ALL WERE RUSTED VERY BAD. CALLED MATHENY MOTORS OF PARKERSBURG WV. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT OF LINES WAS QUOTED AT OVER $1200.00 I CAN NOT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW UPSET I AM THAT THIS SAFETY ITEM WAS NOT MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL ON A VEHICLE THAT WAS AT THE COST OF ALMOST $40,000.00. *TR
