CRACKED DASHBOARD - THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2012 GMC SIERRA 1500 SERIES TRUCK HAS CRACKED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. NOW, DUE TO THE SEVERE COLD, THE CRACK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS EXPANDING DUE TO THE EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION OF THE PLASTIC THRU INTERIOR HEATING AND RAPID COOLING OF THE VEHICLE. THESE CRACKS OCCURRED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON STATE HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRAVELING I-81 S IN MARYLAND, APPROXIMATELY MILE 290, ACCELERATOR STUCK IN FULL THROTTLE. I HAD ACCELERATED TO PASS A CAR, BUT THE ACCELERATOR WENT TO FULL THROTTLE, AND STUCK ON FULL ACCELERATION. I STAYED IN THE LEFT LANE, APPLIED BRAKES SPORADICALLY TO LIMIT THE INCREASED SPEED, AND QUICKLY HIT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH MY FOOT AND IMMEDIATELY RELEASED SEVERAL TIMES TO TRY TO "BREAK" THE ACCELERATOR FREE. I DID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO RESULTS UNTIL FINALLY, WHEN WE WERE AT 94 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR BROKE FREE, AND DISENGAGED. THE BRAKES SMELLED STRONGLY FROM THE EFFORTS TO RETAIN THE ACCELERATION. THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 2,300 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I HAD PLANNED TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND MOVE OFF THE ROAD BEFORE WE HIT 100 MPH. IF MY HUSBAND HAD BEEN DRIVING, HE MIGHT HAVE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND LOST CONTROL (DUE TO LOSS OF POWER). THIS WAS EXTREMELY TROUBLING, AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THANKFULLY, TRAFFIC WAS LIMITED ENOUGH NOT TO CAUSE A WORSE OUTCOME. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND THE DEALER WHERE I WAS TRAVELING TO.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON COLD MORNING STARTS, FRONT BRAKE PADS WILL ENGAGE ROTOR, AND RELEASE VERY SLOWLY. THEN ON A TURN, FRONT PADS WILL ENGAGE, LOCK FOR A SHORT TIME, AND THEN SLOWLY RELEASE. SEEMS LIKE ENGINE HAS TO WARM UP BEFORE BRAKES ACT NORMAL. AFTER COLD MORNING STARTUP, BEFORE MOVING VEHICLE, IF BRAKE PEDAL IS PUMPED REPEATEDLY FOR 30 SECONDS, BRAKES WILL TRY TO ACT NORMAL, WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVED. I AM ON MY 2ND SET OF FRONT PADS AND ROTORS. 1ST SET WERE SEVERALLY WORN. TECH SAID IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR CALIPERS WERE STICKING.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY NEW GMC SIERRA 2500HD DENALI ARE HORRIBLE AND UNSAFE FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE 25 WATT RATING AND 2,000 LUMENS ON THE OEM HID BULBS DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE, SAFE LIGHTING FOR OPERATING MY VEHICLE. I ALREADY HIT A DEER WITH MY BRAND NEW TRUCK BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE IT WELL ENOUGH IN ADVANCE OF THE COLLISION. GMC SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR PUTTING SUCH A LOW POWER, POOR QUALITY AND UNSAFE HEADLIGHT IN THEIR $70,000 VEHICLES. I'M RENTING A HYUNDAI WHILE MY TRUCK IS BEING REPAIRED AND THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS $30,000 FOREIGN CAR ARE 10XS BETTER THAN THE ONES ON MY TRUCK. WHY?
