STEERING
I WAS LEAVING A STORE PARKING LOT AND BEGAN A LEFT TURN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS WRENCHED OUT OF MY HANDS AS IT SPUN AROUND CAUSING MY TRUCK TO VEER SHARPLY TO THE LEFT AND TO HIT ANOTHER STATIONARY VEHICLE. GMC SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THE STEERING WAS BROKEN AND PROCEEDED TO REPLACE THE STEERING MODULE. I RETAINED THE OLD MODULE AS EVIDENCE THE TIE ROD BECAME DISCONNECTED CAUSING THE ACCIDENT. NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED ALTHOUGH I HAS THE SKIN ON MY HAND AND FOREARM RUBBED OFF BY THE STEERING WHEEL.

A/C CONDENSER ISSUES ACROSS MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES HAVE CAUSED THE PART TO BE ON BACK ORDER IN SOME CASES FOR MONTHS. TO ME THIS SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECTIVE PART THAT WARRANTS A RECALL. A CAN OF REFRIGERANT CAN LEAK OUT, FOR ME, IN THE MATTER OF JUST A FEW WEEKS AND I TOOK IT IN AND WAS INFORMED OF THE CONDENSER LEAK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING THING THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT OTHERS HAVE STATED THIS IS THE PROCESS TO CONDUCT A RECALL INVESTIGATION IF WARRANTED.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPERS DO NOT MOVE FAST ENOUGH TO CLEAR THE RAIN FROM THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE 5 FEET IN FRONT OF YOU. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE BLADES NEED TO MOVE MORE QUICKLY TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT SAFE TO OPERATE WHEN IT RAINS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE 7 WAY TRAILER PLUG ON THIS VEHICLE WILL NOT HOLD THE TRAILER PLUG FIRMLY, RESULTING IN THE PLUG COMING LOOSE DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. ONE OBVIOUS ISSUE IS THAT THE FLAP HOLDING THE PLUG IN IS UPSIDE DOWN FROM ANY OTHER CONFIGURATION I'VE SEEN, ALLOWING THE PLUG TO SAG. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK AS I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE LIGHTS AND EVEN THE TRAILER BRAKES HAVE STOPPED OPERATING WHILE IN TRANSIT , AFTER I GAVE VERIFIED THAT THEY WORKED WHEN I STARTED OUT. I THEN AM A HAZARD TO MY FELLOW MOTORISTS AND MY FAMILY. THIS TRAILER PLUG WORKED FLAWLESSLY WITH MY PREVIOUS TRUCK. GMS SOLUTIONS BLAME THE TRAILER OR PLUG, BUT GIVEN THE ORIENTATION OF THE PLUG AND THE NUMBER OF OWNERS THAT SEEM TO HAVE THIS ISSUE, I BELIEVE A BETTER SOLUTION SHOULD COME FROM THEM.

I WAS RIDING ON THE FREEWAY AND SOMEONE FLAGGED ME DOWN AND SAID YOU CAR IS ON FIRE. THE FIRE WAS BETWEEN THE CAB AND THE BED OF THE TRUCK ON 3/22/2017. ON 4/11/2017 IS BEGAN TO SMELL OF SMOKE WHENEVER I CRANK. THE SMELL IS COMING THROUGH THE VENTS. ALSO THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THE EMISSIONS FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS. I AM PAYING A NOTE ON THIS VEHICLE MONTHLY AND AM NOT ABLE TO USE IT. I CAN'T GET IT INSPECTED AND THE REGISTRATION IS OUT THEREFORE I CANNOT DRIVE IT.

STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY NEW 2017 GMC SIERRA VIBRATES BADLY AT ALL SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH. THE SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSES MY HANDS TO GO NUMB AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE INFORMED GM OF THIS AND HAD IT REPAIRED 3 TIMES. THIS DIDN'T CORRECT THE ISSUE AND GM IS STATING THE VEHICLE IS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED" AND WILL NOT DO ANY FURTHER REPAIRS. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IN THIS DAY AND AGE A VEHICLE IS DESIGNED TO HAVE A CONSTANT VIBRATION. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE MODEL YEAR 2014 AND GM WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR CORRECT THE ISSUE. IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE'S SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH FOR THEM TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO ALL GM HALF TON TRUCKS FROM MODEL YEAR 2014 THROUGH 2017.

STRUCTURE:BODY
AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, HEARD A POP AND NOTICED THE DASH HAD CRACKED AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND STARTED MAKING A NOISE. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED, BUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE ONE CRACK HAS BECOME A CUT/SCRAPE HAZARD WHILE CLEANING. I ASSUME THAT IT WILL BECOME LARGER. POSSIBLY EXPOSING THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY TO DAMAGING HEAT AND SUN EXPOSURE.
