AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL: DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHEN REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR DEFECTIVE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I HAVE REQUESTED WHEN TO EXPECT RESOLUTION OF TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. NO ONE CAN GIVE ME ANY TIMELINE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW (10 YEARS). IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOME IDEA OF WHEN I CAN EXPECT TO DRIVE A SAFE VEHICLE THAT WON'T BLOW UP IN MY FACE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE FAIL TO PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE LATERAL VIEW OF THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ANYTHING THAT MIGHT BE MOVING IN TO THE DRIVER'S PATH FROM THE LEFT OR NIGHT SIDES. LATERAL VIEW OF THE HIGHWAY IS NOT IMPROVED WHEN CHANGING FROM LOW BEAM TO HIGH BEAM OR VICE VERSA. THE ONLY WAY TO CAST ANY LATERAL LIGHT TO THE SIDES OF THE HIGHWAY IS TO UTILIZE THE FOG LAMPS WHICH CAN ONLY BE ACTIVATED WHILE USING THE LOW BEAM. THE LACK OF ADEQUATE LATERAL LIGHTING MAKES NIGHT DRIVING EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOOK FOR ANIMALS OR HUMANS THAT MIGHT BE STEPPING IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS LEASED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 2015 GMC SIERRA PICKUP TRUCK, PURCHASED NEW IN FEBRUARY 2015. AS SOON AS I DROVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM ON BOTH LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND A GM TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (#PIT5374) , WHICH INSTRUCTS THE TECH TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHT BULBS, AND TO INCREASE VOLTAGE TO THE HEADLIGHTS VIA THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. I HAD THE DEALER PERFORM THIS TSB IN JUNE OF 2015, BUT SINCE THE UPGRADE, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE HEADLIGHTS IS ONLY SLIGHTLY BETTER. THE TRUCK IS UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, AND ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN. IN ADDITION, ONE OF THE NEW HEADLIGHT BULBS BLEW LAST WEEK, BUT THE GMC DEALER REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY ONCE HE LOCATED A BULB AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP IN TOWN.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE BASIC DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS DOES NOT ALLOW FOR A SUFFICIENT LEVEL OF LIGHTING TO SAFELY OPERATE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO LATERAL LIGHTING, AND THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE WAY FORWARD, THEY ONLY DROP A SHUTTER IN FRONT OF THE LIGHTS WHEN ONE SWITCHES FROM LOW BEAM TO HIGH. THERE IS NO INCREASE IN LIGHT INTENSITY OR VOLUME WHEN SWITCHING TO BRIGHT LIGHTS. RECALL AND FIX!!!!!!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AFTER MONTHS OF PURCHASING MY VEHICLE WHICH IS A SIERRA DENALI MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN HALF. THE PURGE VALVE AND THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL SYNDICATOR SENSOR HAS BEEN CHANGED ABOUT 5 TIMES. WHEN I PUT VEHICLE IN MY TRUCK IT WON'T START ON ITS OWN THE STARTER JUST KEEPS TURNING OVER TO FIND OUT BY THAT THE SENSOR UNDER THE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE CHANGED NOW. I HEARD THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THAT IS WHY THEY CHANGED THE SYSTEM ON IT, BUT MY TRUCK WAS NEVER CHANGED. THE DEALERSHIP ACTS LIKE MY COMPLAINTS WERE SENSELESS AND AFTER A YEAR MY WARRANTY HAS RAN OUT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPERS WILL JUST BARELY MOVE WHEN TURNED ON. I PUT NEW MOTOR AND NEW SWITCH BUT NEITHER FIXED THE PROBLEM. I FOUND IT WAS THE WIPER TRANSMISSION (LINKAGE) WAS FROZE UP,RUSTED AND HAS WATER IN IT. ORDERED ONE FROM DORMAN AND THERE IS NONE IN STOCK. CANNOT FIND ONE ANYWHERE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A 2010 VEHICLE.

STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILED INTERMITTENTLY, TWO DIFFERENT OCASSIONS. ONCE WAS WHILE TURNING LEFT AT A LOW SPEED. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY STIFF AND STARTED VIBRATING WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL. THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LATER. AFTER DRIVING FINE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THE STEERING FAILURE HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH A "SERVICE POWER STEERING" MESSAGE ON THE DASH DISPLAY. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WILL FIX, BUT QUITE FRUSTRATING FOR A VEHICLE WITH A LITTLE OVER 30,000 MILES THAT I HAVE HAD FOR LESS THAN TWO MONTHS.
