SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
PICKED UP MY 2019 SIERRA AT4. I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT, GOT ABOUT 3 MILES. STOPPED TO GET MYSELF A CUP OF COFFEE. GOT BACK INTO THE TRUCK, STARTED IT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE, THE ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL ETC. CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK. (MIND YOU, I'VE ONLY ACTUALLY OWNED THE 63K TRUCK FOR AN HOUR) I BRING THE TRUCK BACK, THEY TAKE IT IN FOR ABOUT 20 MINS AND THEN THE MECHANIC TAKES THE CAR FOR A TEST DRIVE. HE'S GONNA ABOUT 15 MINUTES OR SO, COMES BACK AND SAYS THE TRUCK IS GOOD. THEY FIXED A RECALL RECENTLY BUT NEVER "RESET THE COMPUTER" HE SAYS "YOU'RE GOOD TO GO" I DRIVE THE 30 MINUTES HOME, PULL UP TO THE HOUSE, TURN THE TRUCK OFF. GO INSIDE TO GET MY LITTLE ONES BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GO FOR A RIDE IN DADDY'S NEW TRUCK.. WE GO OUTSIDE, I START THE TRUCK, AND IT'S THE SAME THING THESE ARE THE CODES THAT CAME UP. IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY HAVEM'T FOUND ANY ISSUE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL WENT BACK TO LOCAL CHEVY GMC DEALER AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME IN ALMOST 3 YEARS SINCE I RECEIVED MY RECALL LETTER FROM GM. THEY LOOKED UP RECALL AND AGAIN TOLD ME THAT IT HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT THEY HAVEN'T AGREED ON WHOSE GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM TIRED OF WAITING AND DRIVING A TRUCK THAT IN MY OPINION IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THIS SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. I WANT THIS FIXED BECAUSE 3 YEARS IS LONG ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT WHOSE PAYING AND GET THE JOB DONE. IF IT DOSEN'T GET RESOLVED SOON I WILL HAVE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST GM. I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DAILY SO IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHEN 1ST CRANKING TRUCK AND PUT IN DRIVE MOTORS RREV UP AND SHIFTS HARD TO SECOND. OCCASIONALLY WHEN I OUT IN REVERSE IT WILL SIT THERE N NOT SHIFT IN. THEN WHEN IT DOES IT SHIFTS HARD. WHEN ACCELERATING THE TRUCK IT SOUNDS LIKE A CLATTERING SOUND UNDER DRIVERS SIDE UNDER HOOD. TRIED DIFFERENT TYPE OF GASOLINE AND NOTHING CHANGES. GMAC NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON BOTH OF THESE ITEMS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MY GMC AND GMAC

STEERING
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN COMPLETE POWER STEERING FAILURE OCCURRED. IT WAS RAINING AT THE TIME, AND THIS TOOK PLACE APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A SHALLOW PUDDLE IN MY LANE WITH THE DRIVER SIDE TIRES. VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER, EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I AM A FIT MALE WITH STRONG ARMS AND IT WAS ALMOST MORE STEERING RESISTANCE THAN I COULD MANAGE. HAD THIS OCCURRED WHILE TURNING, I DOUBT I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE. EVEN WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE, IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO A PERSON WITH VERY MUCH LESS UPPER BODY STRENGTH, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN REAL TROUBLE, AS THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE SAFELY OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THE SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A FAILED ELECTRIC POWERED RACK AND PINION (STEERING GEAR). THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS NOT RELATED TO THE PREVIOUSLY ISSUED RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING, AND THAT IT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE APPARENTLY SHORTED OUT STEERING GEAR.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOP WORKING, THE HEAD LIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON AND THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THE RAIN GETS HARDER AND TURNED THE WIPERS BACK OFF THE HEADLIGHT INDICATOR GOES OFF, TRY TURNING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BACK ON AND NOTHING. SO WHEN ON AN INTERSTATE IN RAIN WITH SEMI TRUCKS AROUND YOU OR JUST FOLLOWING ANOTHER VEHICLE, IF IT IS RACING OR POURING OR WHATEVER THE WEATHER, YOU NEED THE WIPERS TO WORK, THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM, I HAVE SEARCHED ON LINE ISSUES OF THIS AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT FROM BRAND NEW AND STILL ON GOING. RECALLS WERE ONLY POSTED FOR 2 MODELS OF VEHICLES BUT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE PICKUPS AS WELL. THE WIPERS ARE A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF A SAFE RIDE AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. THE PRICE WE PAY FOR VEHICLES THEY SHOULD BE SAFELY EQUIPPED FOR THIS PRICE.

MY 2015 GMC SIERRA FAILED TO STOP AT LOW SPEEDS TODAY. I AVOIDED THE COLLISION BY PULLING OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE PEDDLE WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH. I RECEIVED A NOTICE BY GMC THAT ITS THE VACCUM PUMP AND THEY WILL ONLY COVER THE WARRANTY UP TO 72K MILES. MY TRUCK HAS 72,560 MILES.
