I HAVE A 2015 GMC SIERRA WITH 95,198 MILES ON IT. THE AC STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK. I PURCHASED AND INSTALLED AN AC REFILL KIT, WHICH ONLY LASTED A COUPLE OF HOURS. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP CALLED TO TELL ME THAT IT WOULD BE $800+ TO REPLACE AC CONDENSER. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I DISCOVERED THAT FAULTY AC CONDENSERS, AND COMPRESSORS ARE VERY COMMON PROBLEMS IN CERTAIN GMC, CHEVY, AND CADILLAC VEHICLES. WHY ARE CONSUMERS STUCK PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR KNOWN DEFECTS THAT ARE IN EXCESS OF $800?

THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES KEEP COMING OFF. IT APPEARS THAT THE MATERIAL USED IS CHEAP PLASTIC. THIS CAUSES THE MECHANISM INSIDE TO EASILY BREAK WITH THE NATURAL CONSTANT OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE DOORS FORM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. YOU CAN SEE CLEAR CHEAP GLUS IS USED TO ADHERE THE PLASTIC AND THIS JUST MAKES NO SENSE CONSIDERING HOW MUCH THEY WANT US TO PAY FOR THE VEHICLE TO HAVE CHEAP DOOR HANDLES ALMOST AS DURABLE AS THOS OF MATTEL RACE CARS SOLD AT WALMART.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
STABILITRAK OFF/REDUCED ENGINE POWER CAME ON AGAIN AFTER 3 UNSUCCESSFUL 'FIXES' AT GMC DEALER. I WAS DRIVING 30MPH OVER A HILL WHEN MY ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPPED RESPONDING. COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. WENT INTO ONCOMING LANE BUT FORTUNATELY I WASN'T HIT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TRUCK TO SHOULDER AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE BEING ABLE TO TURN ON AGAIN AND GET IT HOME. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALER EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THEY ONLY REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. IT'S THE SECOND TIME THE TRUCK HAS STOPPED RESPONDING WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON A HIGHWAY 99 WHEN ALL LIGHTS CAME ON AND TRUCK STARTED SLOWING DOWN DUE TO LACK OF ENGINE POWER. I WAS LEFT STRANDED ONCE AND HAD TO GET TRUCK TOWED FOR A TOTAL OF $430. I'M FEELING UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE AND GM HAS IGNORED MY CONCERNS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ALL SOUNDS FROM DOOR CHIME, RADIO, ONSTAR, ETC. HAVE FAILED. FURTHER THE PAINT IS BEGINNING TO BLISTER FROM UNDERNEATH. GM IS DENYING BOTH PROBLEMS EXIST. GM SAYS THE PAINT ISSUE IS DUE TO APPLICATION OF AN EXTREME HEAT SOURCE. ARIZONA IS HOT, BUT NOT THAT HOT. THE SOUND ISSUE IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE PAINT ISSUE IS TYPICAL CORPORATE DENIAL OF LEGITIMATE CLAIMS.

MY TRUCK SHIFTS VERY HARD BETWEEN GEARS, ESPECIALLY 1ST TO 2ND. FEELS LIKE GETTING REAR ENDED SOMETIMES. IT ALSO HESITATES DAILY WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND PUTTING IT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL ACTUALLY ENGAGE MAKING IT DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO THE STREET. ITS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT NO FIXES OFFERED FROM DEALER YET.

LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, MY TRUCK IS NOT VERY OLD AND HAS BEEN BLOWING HOT AIR FOR MONTHS. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME CONDENSER ISSUE AS REPORTED BY HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS MORE. AFTER DISCOVERING THIS IS CHRONIC ISSUE AND AC DELCO * DISCONTINUED THE ORIGINAL CONDENSER * ISSUED TSBS FOR THE CONDENSER WHICH INCLUDE A BRACKET TO HELP PREVENT THE ISSUE (TSB PIT5331 / OCT 2014) (TSB PIE0340 / MAY 2015) NEITHER OF THESE WERE EITHER APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE OR WERE NOT EFFECTIVE IN PREVENTING THE ISSUE. IT SEEMS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP BASED ON THEIR ISSUING OF THESE TSBS AND FAILURE TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY. THEY'VE APPARENTLY OPERATED A BLATANT "LET'S WAIT AND SEE" CAMPAIGN, HOPING THOSE OF US THAT DIDN'T CATCH THIS UNDER WARRANTY WILL FALL OUT OF WARRANTY AS I HAVE. SEVERAL LAW FIRMS HAVE INITIATED CLASS ACTION SUITS AGAINST GM IN REGARDS TO THIS, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S A GOOD CHANCE TO GET LAWYERS RICH AND NOT GET MY TRUCK FIXED, OR GET A CHECK FOR $9.99... AS A SUMMARY - MY TRUCK BEGAN BLOWING WARM AIR LAST FALL, BUT I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE IT AS AN ISSUE AS THE WEATHER WAS ALSO TURNING COOL AND I WASN'T USING THE A/C. AC/DELCO AND GENERAL MOTORS KNOWS THIS IS CHRONIC AND AVOIDABLE ISSUE THE FAULTY PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WHEN THE PRODUCTS FAIL UNDER WARRANTY NO EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO REPLACE THE KNOWINGLY FAULTY PARTS.

AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS HOT AIR AS A RESULT OF LINE SYSTEM LEAK. AIR CONDITIONING FAILURE DO TO KNOWN TSB PIT5331. GMC HAS COVERED THIS ISSUE FOR LIKE SUV MODELS (ESCALADE, TAHOE, YUKON), BUT WANTS OVER $1,000 TO REPAIR GMC SIERRA 1500 AT GMC DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A FAULTY PRODUCT DESIGN THAT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM PER THEIR OWN SERVICE BULLETIN, AND ASSOCIATED HARNESS TO ENFORCE FAULTY AIR CONDITIONER UNIT DESIGN.
