TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
GOING SOUTH ON I77, CRUISE SET ON 70 MPH, NOTICED SLIGHT VIBRATION AND CONTINUED ABOUT 4 MILES WHEN THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. TAPED THE BRAKE, GOT OFF ON BURM ASAP AND TURNED ON HAZARD LIGHTS. HAD TO CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER MILE OR SO I COULD CLEAR THE INTERSTATE. HAD TO HAVE ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TO CHANGE THE TIRE. MICHELIN REFUSED TO WARRANTY THIS TIRE AND IT HAD ONLY BEEN ON MY TRUCK FOR 4 MONTHS. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS A 2009 MODEL TIRE. *TR

WHEELS
I OWN A 2007 GMC SIERRA 2500HD PICKUP WITH 94278 MILES ON IT. THIS WEEK END THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING ASSY FAILED FOR THE SECOND TIME, AND THE LEFT ONE WAS ON ITS WAY TO FAILING. AT A COST OF 375.00 EACH I REPLACED BOTH SIDES. THIS SEEMS VERY EXCESSIVE TO ME TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARINGS FOR THE SECOND TIME WITH LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AT APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR QUIT WORKING. THE LOCK DOES NOT OPERATE WITH THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK FUNCTION OR THE KEYPAD. AT APPROXIMATELY 110,000 MILES THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ALSO QUIT WORKING. THIS IS A HIGHLY UNSAFE SITUATION ON MANY SCALES ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE ARE NO KEYHOLES ON THOSE DOORS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
ON 10/29/2014 I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH ODI NUMBER 10650997 ABOUT THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2010 GMC SIERRA SINCE THREE OF THEM HAD BROKEN OFF SINCE DECEMBER 2013. THEN ON 11/6/2014, THE PASSENGER BACK DOOR HANDLE CAME LOOSE & IS PULLING OUT OF THE DOOR. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE DOOR HANDLES THAT HAS NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED. ALL OF THE DOOR HANDLE FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED SINCE DECEMBER 2013. THIS PRESENTS A POTENTIAL HAZARD. IT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE ON THE DOOR WITH BROKEN HANDLES THAT IF THE DOOR HANDLE COMES COMPLETE OFF, IT IS HARD TO GET THE DOOR TO LATCH PROPERLY CAUSING IT TO POP OPEN WHICH COULD EASILY HAPPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION PUTTING ANYONE SITTING BY THE DOOR IN HARM'S WAY. IT IS VERY DISCONCERTING TO ME THAT ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES HAVE NOW FAILED. I WOULD DEFINITELY THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW WITH THESE VEHICLES. TWO OF THE HANDLES WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY HOWEVER, THE COST TO REPLACE THE REMAINING TWO IS $200+ EACH. TO DATE GMC IS NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED. THE BRAKE LINES AND FRAME ARE HEAVILY CORRODED. WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT ON 10/26/14 BRAKES WERE APPLIED ABRUPTLY WHICH CAUSED A RUPTURE OF THE CORRODED BRAKE LINES. ALL BRAKE LINES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO SAFELY RETURN THE VEHICLE TO SERVICE. OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE 2004 CHEVY YUKON AND 1994 GMC 2500, BOTH VEHICLES HAD BRAKE LINES FAIL DUE TO CORROSION AND REQUIRED COMPLETE REPLACEMENT IN ORDER TO SAFELY RETURN THE VEHICLES TO SERVICE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND THESE BRAKE LINE FAILURES ARE NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL VEHICLES MUCH OLDER THAN THIS VEHICLE WHICH STILL HAVE STOCK BRAKE LINES WITH NO CORROSION. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 ARE VERY VERY DIM. BOTH LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM MAKE IT VERY DIFFIUCULT TO SEE VERY FAR IN FRONT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING GM TRUCKS FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED LIGHTING SO TERRIBLE. WITH THE DEER IN PENNA. MOVING AT NIGHT THIS TIME OF YEAR I AM AT TIMES RELUCTANT TO GO OVER 35MPH. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT GM HAS NOT MADE SOME KIND OF CHANGE TO THEIR HEADLIGHT SYSTEM NOTING THE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. I DID TEST DRIVE THE TRUCK BUT OF COURSE NOT AT NIGHT, IT CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE BEEN A DEAL BREAKER KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW. THAT IS HOW BAD THEY ARE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PRODUCT AND EMPLORE THE NHTSA TO FORCE A RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE LOOKED INTO REPLACEMENT BULBS WITH MUCH HIGHER INTENSITY. NOTHING IS AVAILABLE OTHER THAN THE STANDARD. PLEASE TAKE ACTION! *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE NEW 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 ARE INCREDIBLY DIM. THEY DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD SUFFICIENTLY AND ARE DANGEROUS. RURAL ROADS ARE PRACTICALLY A NO-GO AT NIGHT BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING IN DISTANCE OR ON THE SIDES OF THE ROAD. MAKING TURNS AT NIGHT ARE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. I FEEL THE NEED TO SWAP TO A BETTER LIGHT BUT THERE ARE NO OPTIONS THAT WON'T VOID MY WARRANTY BY GOING AFTERMARKET. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR ME. HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. NOTHING THAT DEALERSHIP CAN DO SINCE THERE ARE NO ALTERNATE LIGHTS OTHER THAN AFTERMARKET. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS VEHICLE HAS THE WORST HEADLIGHTS OF ANY NEW VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, AND I AVOID IT WHERE I CAN. THE BEAM PATTERN IS AWFUL AND THE ILLUMINATION IS POOR. I'VE BEEN DRIVING CARS WITH PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS FOR YEARS, SO I KNOW THAT IS NOT THE REAL ISSUE. THESE LIGHTS ARE JUST POORLY DESIGNED OR CHEAP. TRIPS TO THE DEALER ARE UNFRUITFUL. THE DEALER KNOWS THEY ARE POOR, BUT CAN DO NOTHING EXCEPT BE SURE EVERYTHING IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED. IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT BUYING A 2014 GMC PICKUP, BUY SOMETHING ELSE. THEY ARE THAT BAD. I JUST KNOW I'M GOING TO HIT A DEER SOON ENOUGH. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), WHEELS
I BOUGHT (2) SIERRA 2500 HD TRUCKS THAT HAVE SERIOUS HUB ASSEMBLY PROBLEMS WITH ONE REPLACEMENT IN 2011, LIGHTING SYSTEM WORK WHEN IT WANT TO AND HAS DRAIN FIVE BATTERIES FROM AAA AND ADVANCE AUTO IN THE PAST SEVEN YEARS, ABS/ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON SINCE 2007 AND AFTER 10 YEARS IS GASKET PROBLEMS WITH GM PRODUCTS. I HAVE TALK TO GM EXECUTIVE OFFICE THAT FIX THE HUB ASSEMBLY AND TAILGATE RECALLS PROBLEM IN 2011 BUT UNWILLING TO DEAL WITH IT NOW AFTER TALKING TO GM DAN. I THINK I NEED OUT SIDE COUNSEL AND ENGINEERING FIRM TO TEST AND TESTIFY ON MY BEHAVE AND 2,300 OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WANT NEW VEHICLES AND SETTING UP A DATE WITH CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, AND NHTSA REVIEW MY CASE. I HAVE MET WITH CONGRESSIONAL PANEL INVESTIGATING GM THAT WANT TO HELP ME RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I BEEN A GM PERSON BUT SERIOUSLY LOOKING IN THE FOREIGN MARKET IF I HAVE NO SERIOUS RESOLUTION. *TR

STEERING
I OWN A 2013 GMC SIERRAHD 2500 AND I AM EXPERIENCING POWER STEERING FAILURES. GMC IS REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY CANT FIND IT. GMC ALSO HAS NO PROBLEM PUTTING ME BACK ON THE ROAD IN A DANGEROUS UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT IS STILL UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. . THE FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS JUST PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. AS I WAS TURNING, ALWAYS TO THE LEFT, INTO THE SPOT THE POWER STEERING FAILED. ALWAYS AFTER A LONG DRIVE THIS OCCURS, TO THE TUNE OF 5 PLUS HOURS. THE POWER LOSS REPEATED ITSELF TWO MORE TIMES THAT FIRST DAY. OCCURRING WHEN I WAS COMING TO A SLOW LEFT TURN UNDER 10 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER A COUPLE DAYS LATER AND THEY COULDN'T REPEAT THE PROBLEM SO THEY REFUSED REPAIRS. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED WAS A COUPLE DAYS AGO. THIS TIME IT BEGAN WITH SLOW LEFT TURNS IN A PARKING LOT OR ON DOWNRAMPS FROM HIGHWAYS. HOWEVER THE PROBLEM GAINED INTENSITY AS I THOUGHT I COULD FEEL IT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, ALTHOUGH I DIREGUARDED THAT SINCE IT IS HARD TO TELL WHILE DRIVING 65 ON THE HIGHWAY. ONCE I REACHED MY LOCAL BACK, CURVY, MOUNTAIN ROADS, IT FAILED REPEATEDLY. ONE INSTANCE CAUSING ME TO VEER TO THE EDGE OF A SEVERE DROP OFF AND MY TIRES RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. THIS EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL MOMENT. AGAIN AFTER A LONG DRIVE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THEY INSPECTED EVERYTHING AND RESEARCHED THE ISSUE. GMC SAID THAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN HITTING THE BRAKES AT A SLOW SPEED. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE HAS NOW OCCURRED WITHOUT BRAKING AND AT A NORMAL SPEED OF ABOUT 30 MPH. GMC REFUSED TO REPLACE ANYTHING AND WOULD NOT COMPENSATE THE DEALER IF THEY DID. THUS GMC PUT ME BACK ON THE ROAD IN A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. THEY SAID THIS WAS NORMAL AND WOULD HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME. DESPITE ALL THEIR EXCUSES, I HAD A CONTRADICTION FOR.I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT DIDN'T START TILL NOW AND WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE HAVING THE PROBLEM. *TR
