AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING AN ERROR MESSAGE FLASHED ENGINE REDUCED POWER, STABILITY CONTROL LOSS. TRUCK STRUGGLED TO ACCELERATE. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER 2015 ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAYS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. I HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE SYSTEM FROM THROTTLE BODY TO THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM THAT GM KNOWS ABOUT ALONG WITH THE CRACKS IN THE DASH AROUND AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND REFUSES TO RECALL AND FIX CRACKS IN AIR BAG HOUSING COULD POSE A SAFETY HAZARD ALONG WITH LOSS OF ENGINE POWER FROM FAULTY WIRING.

CRACKED DASHBOARD - THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2012 GMC SIERRA 1500 SERIES TRUCK HAS CRACKED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. NOW, DUE TO THE SEVERE COLD, THE CRACK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS EXPANDING DUE TO THE EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION OF THE PLASTIC THRU INTERIOR HEATING AND RAPID COOLING OF THE VEHICLE. THESE CRACKS OCCURRED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON STATE HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON COLD MORNING STARTS, FRONT BRAKE PADS WILL ENGAGE ROTOR, AND RELEASE VERY SLOWLY. THEN ON A TURN, FRONT PADS WILL ENGAGE, LOCK FOR A SHORT TIME, AND THEN SLOWLY RELEASE. SEEMS LIKE ENGINE HAS TO WARM UP BEFORE BRAKES ACT NORMAL. AFTER COLD MORNING STARTUP, BEFORE MOVING VEHICLE, IF BRAKE PEDAL IS PUMPED REPEATEDLY FOR 30 SECONDS, BRAKES WILL TRY TO ACT NORMAL, WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVED. I AM ON MY 2ND SET OF FRONT PADS AND ROTORS. 1ST SET WERE SEVERALLY WORN. TECH SAID IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR CALIPERS WERE STICKING.

THE GMC SIERRA 3500HD WHILE IN REGENERATION MODE FUNNELS EXHAUST DIRECTLY INTO THE CAB THROUGH THE VENTS. WHILE GM RECOGNIZED THIS AS A FLAW AND CAME UP WITH A FIX FOR IT, THEY WILL ONLY REPAIR IT IN A 5 YEAR OR 100,000 MILE WINDOW. HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE WITHOUT AN EXPIRATION?
