ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DISPLAY SCREEN TO BRIGHT WHEN VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE. WHEN PUTTING VEHICLE IN REVERSE THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY IS SO BRIGHT YOU CAN NOT SEE YOUR EXTERIOR MIRRORS OR OUT ANY OF THE WINDOWS TO SEE SURROUNDING AREA. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE YOU ARE BLINDED WHILE BACKING UP. WHEN TOOK THE TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THIS. AND HAVE HAD NO OTHER COMPLAINTS???

SERVICE BRAKES
ORIGINAL ISSUE: BRAKE PEDAL HARD TO PUSH AND TRUCK DID NOT STOP NORMALLY AT LOW SPEEDS. COULD REPRODUCE ISSUE USUALLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE HIT CAR IN FRONT OF ME IF I HADN'T USED EBRAKE. TOOK TO DEALER, DEALER APPLIED SOFTWARE UPDATE TO BRAKING SYSTEM. UPON PICKUP I DISCOVERED THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PERSISTED AND NOW HAD AN ADDITIONAL ISSUE. NOW AT ALMOST EVERY BRAKE EVENT, THE ABS WOULD ENGAGE AND CAUSE THE BRAKE PETAL TO CHATTER/VIBRATE. DEALER AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TRIED TO TELL ME THAT WAS NORMAL AFTER THE RECALL UPDATE. I TOLD THEM THAT COULDN'T BE NORMAL. IT WASN'T HAPPENING BEFORE. AFTER NOT EXCEPTING THAT AS A FIX, THE DEALERSHIP STARTED LOOKING FOR OTHER POSSIBILITY'S. AFTER TELLING THE DEALER I WAS GOING TO TAKE THE TRUCK SOMEWHERE ELSE THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE VACUUM PUMP. THE NEW VACUUM PUMP FIXED BOTH ISSUES! I'M JUST SAYING IF THE RECALL UPDATE IS CAUSING MORE PROBLEMS THEN WHAT IT WAS INTENDED TO FIX. NOW THERE COULD BE A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM ON THE HIGHWAY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE ISSUES. I FEEL LIKE GM IS TRYING TO HIDE A BIG PROBLEM.

ON SCREEN DISPLAY FOR BACKUP CAMERA. WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, THE ON SCREEN DISPLAY IS SO BRIGHT THAT YOU CAN'T SEE OUT THE WINDOWS, THE REARVIEW MIRRORS OR THE SURROUNDING AREA. THIS DISPLAY DOES NOT DIM WITH THE REST OF THE LIGHTS. THIS CAUSES A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD WHEN TRYING TO BACKUP THE VEHICLE.

FOR NHTSA RECALL 19V645, WHY DID NHTSA ACCEPT A 'REPROGRAMMING' OF THE FUNCTIONALITY TO 'BAND AID' THE ISSUE RATHER THAN REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE VACUUM PUMP, WHICH IS THE IDENTIFIED DEFECTIVE ITEM?

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE EXHIBITS VIBRATIONS THAT CAN BE RATHER EXTREME AT TIMES. IT SEEMS TO BE MOST NOTICEABLE IN THE 70-75 MPH RANGE BUT CAN SOMETIMES BE FELT AT OTHER SPEEDS. IT FEELS LIKE THE VIBRATION ORIGINATES FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. TWO DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPLACED MULTIPLE PARTS AND HAVE PERFORMED NUMEROUS ALIGNMENTS AND ROAD FORCE BALANCES BUT CAN NOT IDENTIFY/REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON MULTIPLE ONLINE FORUMS OF THIS SAME ISSUE FOR 2014-2015 GM 1500 SERIES PICKUP TRUCK. SO FAR THERE HAS BEEN NO FIX FOR THEM EITHER. GM TREATS IT AS AN ANNOYANCE IN THE COMFORT OF THE RIDE, HOWEVER IF THEY CAN NOT IDENTIFY THE ISSUE HOW DO THEY KNOW IT IS NOT A SAFETY RISK.

POWER TRAIN
WE WERE DRIVING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE IN A PARKING GARAGE WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED SPUTTERING AND SHUT OFF. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT STARTED AND WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A PARKING SPACE WITH THE ENGINE STILL SPUTTERING. I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM THE TRUCK, DECREASED ENGINE POWER. THE NEXT DAY I BROUGHT IT TO BE CHECKED BY THE LOCAL GMC DEALER. THEIR DIAGNOSIS IS VAPOR LOCK WHEN THE FUEL PUMP GETS NEAR OR OVER 100 DEGREE. ITS MY OPINION THAT GMC PLACED A FAULTY PART WHEN MANUFACTURING THE VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL.

POWER TRAIN, VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID ONLY SPRAYS OUT 30% OF THE TIME. USUALLY IN THE MORNING THEN ANY OTHER TIME OF THE DAY IT WILL NOT SPRAY OUT. THEY REPLACED THE PUMP AND THAT DID NOT FIX IT AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE AND NOW IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN RUNNING LOWER RPMS DRIVING THE TRUCK IT BEGINS TO FEEL LIKE ITS SHAKING FORWARD AND BACKWARDS, LIKE A SHUDDERING FEELING. I HAVE READ ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND IT DESCRIBES MINE PERFECTLY. I HAVE THE 8SPEED
