POWER TRAIN
FIRST FEELING WAS, I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT GOING MAYBE 5 MILES AN HOUR AND I FELT A VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. PULLED ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT WHEN THE TRUCK STOPPED A LITTLE HARD AS I WAS DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. AS I STARTED PRESSING ON THE GAS WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 35 MPH OR SO, WHEN THE TRUCK CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN WHICH MYSELF & PASSENGER WERE SLIGHTLY THROWN FORWARD DUE TO THE ABRUPT STOP FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE VEHICLE IN BACK OF ME NEARLY REAR ENDED ME DUE TO THE ABRUPT STOP THE TRUCK DID. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER, IN WHICH AFTER SEVERAL DAYS IN THE SHOP, THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT GMC KNEW ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THE DEALER WAS INSTRUCTED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, DUE TO A MALFUNCTION IN THE TCM THAT APPARENTLY WAS TRYING TO SHUT THE TRUCK DOWN COMPLETELY. THEREFORE CAUSING THE TRUCK TO STOP ABRUPTLY WITH NO WARNING.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. ONCE IT WENT FROM 70 TO 20 ON THE HIGHWAY.. IT KICKS OR JERKS AT ANY SPEED... ESPECIALLY GOING SLOW.. THE SHIFTING IS HORRIBLE!!! THE FEELING OF IT LOSING POWER AGAIN LIKE IT DID COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND UNSELFISH AND PASSENGERS.. I DON'T TRUST IT ON THE HIGHWAY!!! I KEEP A MONITOR CONNECTED TO MY TRUCK AT ALL TIMES.. THE DATES COINCIDE WITH THE PAPERWORK!! ONGOING TRANNY ISSUES ALL THE TIME!! I PAID WAY TO MUCH FOR THIS LEMON!! ENGINE VIBRATES AROUND 80.. AND IF YOU DON'T USE YOUR BLINKER.. THEY TRUCK FIGHTS YOU TO CHANGE LANES.. IT PULLS YOU BACK!!

ENGINE
WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO THE MAIN ROAD WHERE I WAS GOING I NOTICED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY TRUCK. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT ONCE IT TURNED I ACCELERATED AND SUDDENLY FELT A JERK FROM THE TRUCK AND HEARD A LOUD WHISTLING NOISE. IT DID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT 5-6 TIME EVERY TIME I WOULD ACCELERATE FROM A SPEED OF 30-40. I DECIDED TO DROP IT OFF AT MY LOCAL GMC TO GET IT LOOKED AT. THEY CALLED ME THE NEXT DAY TO PICK IT UP SINCE THEY RAN IT THROUGH DIAGNOSTICS AND DIDN'T FIND AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. ONCE I GOT THERE I DEMANDED FOR THE MECHANIC TO COME DRIVE THE TRUCK WITH ME TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND THEY DECIDED THEY NEEDED TO KEEP IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS TO GET IT LOOKED AT. THEY THEN CALLED TWO DAYS AFTER AND SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS MESSED UP AND NEEDED A NEW ONE TOTALING THE COST TO $5346.07 WHICH IS CERTAINLY NOT SOMETHING WE CAN AFFORD RIGHT NOW! I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY DIDN'T SEE THE ISSUE THE FIRST TIME THEY DIAGNOSED IT?? THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO GET RECALLED I HAVE SEEN MANY SIMILAR ISSUES.

I OWN A 2014 GMC SIERRA AND THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER HAS GONE OUT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE SO MANY GMC & CHEVROLET ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO HELP IS BEING OFFERED TO US.

POWER TRAIN
SINCE DAY ONE WITH MY 2015 GMC 2500 THE TRANSMISSION HAS ACTED VERY WEIRD WHEN DRIVING. EVERY APPOINTMENT I HAVE MADE FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALER I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SHUDDERING AND INCONSISTENT UPSHIFTING AND DOWNSHIFTING AND OF COURSE THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING. NOW IT IS TO A POINT WHERE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING BUT THE TRUCK HAS NO POWER SOME OF THE TIME. I FEEL LIKE IT COMES AND GOES WEEKLY. I ALSO OWN A 2015 GMC 3500 THAT I BOUGHT AT THE SAME TIME BUT THAT TRUCK RESEMBLES NONE OF THESE SYMPTOMS.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAD A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD AND WHEN THEY REPLACED IT THE TECHNICIAN SAID IT WAS SO RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE THAT IF ANYTHING HAPPENED AGAIN THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT HE HAD TO REALLY DO SOME WORK AROUNDS HE SAID TO EVEN REPLACE THIS ONE. THAT MAKES ME FEEL THAT THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE IF WE WERE TO GET IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THERE IS NO RUST ON THE OUTSIDE AROUND THE WINDSHIELD AT ALL. SO I WAS VERY SURPRISED WHEN THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT.
