GMC TRUCK FRAMES CRACKING, ROTTING OUT, BRAKING DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND COATING AND GM WON'T STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AS TOYOTA HAS. THE CONSUMER GETS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF FRAMES GIVING OUT WELL BEFORE THE BODY, THE FRAMES SHOULD BE STRONG. IN UNDER 2 YEARS THE FRAME WENT FROM STRONG AND SAFE TO NOW RUSTED UP SCRAP METAL. AMERICAN QUALITY SHOULD BE OF GREAT STANDARDS IN MY UP MOST OPINION BEING AN ARMY VETERAN. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD COMPANSATE OWNERS OR BUY THEM BACK AS TOYOTA HAS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2017 GMC 2500 SIERRA DENALI DURAMAX HAS HAD THIS THROTTLE ISSUE, IT SEEMS TO ONLY DO IT WHEN THE EXHAUST STINKS, AND AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 5 - 55 MPH. IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR THE TRUCK MAINTAINS RPM (1200 - 1400) OR EVEN HAS INCREASED SOME AND HAS LASTED 2 - 5 SECONDS (ESTIMATED AND GREATLY REDUCES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BRAKING CAPACITY AND RESPONSIVENESS/STOPPING DISTANCE). WORST WAS WITH A HUGE TRAILER BEHIND AND I GOT UP TO SPEED 55 ON COUNTY HWY 8, AND I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND IT KEPT GOING HARD AND I GOT ON THE BRAKES AND I COULDN'T SLOW IT DOWN UNTIL THE TRUCK DECIDED TO RELEASE OFF THE THROTTLE.(TWO WITNESSES IN THE VEHICLE, ONE A GM TECH, STATING YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT) IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT 25 TIMES IN 5700 MILES IN VARIOUS SETTINGS & SPEEDS AND HAS OCCURRED FREQUENTLY IN TOWN AT SPEEDS OF 25 - 35 MPH. THERE MAYBE SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES IN BETWEEN EPISODES IF YOU WILL, AS THEY OCCUR IN CLUSTERS WHEN EXHAUST STINKS AND GONE WHEN EXHAUST DOES NOT STINK. TRUCK ALSO HAD TORQUE CONVERTER NOT UNLOCK AND [XXX] NEAR CHOKED THE ENGINE OFF AT STOP SIGN RIGHT AFTER A THROTTLE STUCK CONDITION. GOT HOME THE OTHER NIGHT AND FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING! BACK UP CAMERA IS DAYLIGHT BRIGHT AT NIGHT, LOW COOLANT ISSUES, MAP SENSOR ISSUE, ENGINE SURGED THE OTHER DAY, WHAT NEXT? IT'S CONSTANTLY BEEN AT DEALERSHIPS WITH NO ANSWERS. MY WIFE WON'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE AND WISHES I WOULDN'T EITHER FEARING IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND SHE'S PROBABLY RIGHT. GM HAS STATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY TRADE IN ASSISTANCE DOLLARS TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD AND THERE IS NO FIX. $70,000+ TRUCK, LIVES AT RISK AND NO SERIOUS RESPONSE FROM GM?

THERE IS A LEAK IN MY AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER. WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE I WAS TOLD THERE IS A NATION-WIDE BACKORDER ON THE CONDENSERS. I THEN HAD TO BRING IN MY TRUCK FOR A IGNITION COIL FAILURE AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING A HIGH NUMBER OF LEAKING CONDENSERS AND CANNOT GET PARTS. WHILE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COSTLY FIX ON A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE AND SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE IS A HIGH OCCURRENCE OF FAILURES AND THIS NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC AND GMC.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
WHEN DRIVING RECENTLY, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING ALONG WITH MY STABILITRAK LIGHT COMING ON. THE VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING. THE VIBRATING WAS ESPECIALLY ROUGH WHILE IDLE. THE VIBRATION WAS ALSO ROUGH WHILE IN LOWER GEARS AND WHILE BRAKING. WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE I WAS TOLD IT WAS A CORRODED IGNITION COIL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW AND IT CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 37,000 MILES ON IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND "DEGRADED STEERING" WARNING WITH CHIME SOUNDED. CLEARED ITSELF AND THEN CHIMED AGAIN WITH SAME WARNING ABOUT THREE MINUTES LATER. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY STABILITRACK WARNING AND RED BRAKE WARNING. STEERING WAS SOMEWHAT HARDER TO TURN BUT WAS STILL BEING ASSISTED. THERE DIDN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY DEGRADATION TO BRAKING. MAYBE THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM? THE A/C THEN TURNED OFF AND THE RADIO VOLUME WENT SILENT. THE STABILITRACK SWITCH, A/C CONTROLS AND RADIO CONTROLS WERE ALL INEFFECTIVE. I NOTICED THE AMP GAUGE WAS BELOW 12 AS IT SEEMED AS IF THE TRUCK ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS UNDERPOWERED. I DROVE TEN MILES HOME AND ALL SYSTEMS RESET BY TURNING TRUCK OFF AND STARTING IT UP AGAIN. THIS IS FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. TRUCK HAS 66K MILES ON IT.

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
MY TRUCK SUFFERS FROM VIBRATION PROBLEMS, THE SAME THING THAT 10,837 OTHER POSTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE SUFFERING THE SAME PROBLEM ARE TALKING ABOUT ON THIS FORUM. HTTP://WWW.GM-TRUCKS.COM/FORUMS/TOPIC/153186-SHAKE-OR-VIBRATION-ISSUES/PAGE-723 THIS FORUM HAS BEEN VIEWED OVER 1.5 MILLION TIMES WHICH MEANS A TON OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A RISK TO MOTOR VECHICLE SAFETY AND ABSOLUTELY EXISTS IN A GROUP OF VECHICLES OF THE SAME DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE. THE PROBLEMS THIS SHAKE PRESENTS THAT POSE A DANGER ARE VIBRATIONS SO SIGNIFICANT THAT IT CAN CAUSE DRIVER DISTRACTION, FATIGUE ON LONG TRIPS, POTENTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL, NOT TO MENTION LONG TERM HEALTH EFFECTS FROM VIBRATION EXPOSURE. THE HEALTH EFFECTS DEFINED ARE AS FOLLOWS: "THE EFFECTS OF WHOLE BODY VIBRATION (WBV) HAVE BEEN STUDIED EXTENSIVELY IN OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE. IN PARTICULAR, IT HAS BEEN SHOWN THAT WHEN THE BODY UNDERGOES CHRONICALLY TO WHOLE BODY VIBRATIONS SPINAL DEGENERATION IS LIKELY TO BE ONE OF THE DELETERIOUS OUTCOMES. LOW BACK PAIN HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE THE LEADING MAJOR CAUSE OF INDUSTRIAL DISABILITY IN THE POPULATION UNDER THE AGE OF 45 YEARS AND HAS BEEN LINKED TO WHOLE BODY VIBRATION EXPOSURE ENCOUNTERED IN SOME INDUSTRIAL SETTINGS. WHOLE BODY VIBRATION HAS BEEN RECENTLY PURPOSED AS AN EXERCISE INTERVENTION SUGGESTING ITS EFFECTIVENESS IN INCREASING FORCE-GENERATING CAPACITY IN LOWER LIMBS AND LOW BACK. IT HAS ALSO BEEN REPORTED TO BE AN EFFECTIVE NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL INTERVENTION FOR PATIENTS WITH LOW BACK PAIN. RELATIVELY SHORT EXPOSURE TO WHOLE BODY VIBRATION HAS BEEN ALSO SHOWN TO INCREASE THE SERUM LEVELS OF TESTOSTERONE AND GROWTH HORMONE. THE COMBINED EFFECTS ON THE NEUROMUSCULAR SYSTEM AND ENDOCRINE SYSTEM SEEM TO SUGGEST ITS EFFECTIVENESS AS A THERAPEUTIC APPROACH FOR SARCOPENIA AND POSSIBLY OSTEOPOROSIS."
