TAKATA RECALL WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2015 AND SOON AFTER GOT A LETTER SAYING THAT A AIRBAG RECALL. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. CALLED GM HEADQUARTERS AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE SURE THAT THERE WAS NO DANGER AND THAT WE SHOULD GET A SECOND NOTICE WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. THAT HASN'T HAPPENED IN ALMOST 4 YEARS. THE WEB SITE SAID TO SEEK HELP FROM YOU IF THE PROBLEM WASN'T FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER. IS THE PROBLEM GOING TO GET FIXED OR IS GMC GOING TO BUY BACK THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. IT'S HARD TO DRIVE IT WITHOUT THINKING SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT COULD GET SEVERELY HURT OR KILLED. CAN YOU TELL ME IF IT WILL EVER GET FIXED?

VISIBILITY/WIPER
SITTING IN A PARKING LOT ALLOWING THE PICKUP TO WARM UP, THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ON AND STARTED HAVING A CRACKLING SOUND AND SMOKING. THE NOISE AND SMOKE STOPPED WHEN THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS TURNED OFF, HOWEVER APPROXIMATELY A MINUTE LATER THE WINDOW SHATTERED AND SPRAYED GLASS SHARDS INTO THE CAB AND ON THE BACK SEAT. THE PICKUP WAS STATIONARY AND THERE WAS NO POSSIBILITY THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY AN IMPACT. BASED ON THE PATTERN OF BROKEN GLASS IT COULD BE SEEN COMING FROM THE CORNER OF THE WINDOW WHERE THE HEATING ELEMENT IS. I CALLED GM AND THEY INDICATED THEY WOULD NOT LOOK AT THE VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST 30 DAYS TO EVEN DETERMINE THE ISSUE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2014 GMC SIERRA SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY FAMILY. IN SOME CASES ALL ELECTRICAL BLINKS AND IT CONTINUES TO DRIVE WHILE TEMPORARILY LOSING POWER STEERING AND OTHER FEATURES AND OTHER TIMES TURNING OFF COMPLETELY UNTIL COMING TO A STOP. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ~$400 TO DO DIAGNOSTICS ON A G218 BOLT THAT THEY WERE TOLD BY GMC THAT IT IS RELATED TO. THIS ISSUE CAME FROM THE FACTORY THIS WAY. WHILE NOT WANTING TO PAY THAT FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND RESEARCHING MYSELF, I FOUND 100S OF VIDEOS ONLINE SIMILAR TO THE ONE BELOW WHICH SHOWS THIS ISSUE HAPPENING TO OWNERS OF THE GMC TRUCKS. WHEN I SPOKE WITH GMC CUSTOMER CARE ABOUT THIS, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE ISSUE. THERE ARE GOING TO BE TRUCK OWNERS THAT LOSE THEIR LIFE ALONG WITH ANY PASSENGERS IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT TAKEN CARE. I AM VERY SCARE FOR OUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF COUNTLESS OTHERS LIKE THE LINK BELOW HAVE POSTED ABOUT THIS KNOWN ISSUE.
