ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT HOWEVER AS THE IGNITION PROBLEM UNFOLDS WITH THE GM PRODUCTS I WANTED TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING TO THE ATTENTION A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY A YEAR OR SO AGO WITH MY 2008 GMC SIERRA. I TYPICALLY PARK MY TRUCK IN THE GARAGE WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. WE HAVE A LIVE CAMERA IN THE GARAGE AND ONE MORNING AROUND 7 AM AFTER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AROUND 3 AM I FOUND ON THE CAMERA THE TRUCK RUNNING WITH FLASHING HEADLIGHTS. I WENT TO GARAGE IMMEDIATELY AND WAS HIT WITH VERY HIGH HEAT DUE TO THE TRUCK RUNNING. WITH THE CARBON MONOXIDE POTENTIAL I DID NOT GO INTO THE GARAGE. I GOT MY WIFE'S KEYS AND TRIED A "REMOTE STOP" AND THE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED FLASHING BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. I OPEN BOTH GARAGE DOORS AND WENT OUTSIDE SO I COULD ENTER THE GARAGE FROM THE OUTSIDE. I OPENED THE TRUCK DOOR AND BARELY TOUCHED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE TRUCK SHUT OFF. IT WAS NOT TURNED ON! WITHOUT A DOUBT IT HAD BEEN RUNNING ABOUT FOUR HOURS SINCE THE STORM. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. AFTER TELLING THE DEALER THE STORY THEY BASICALLY LAUGHED AT ME AND SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT IN WHEN THE NEXT STORM CAME THRU. THEY LATER RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AT GM REQUEST AND FOUND A MYSTERIOUS IGNITION CODE BUT NO SOLUTION. WHAT MAKES THIS EVEN STRANGER IS THAT WE ALSO HAD A 2010 YUKON THAT STARTED ON ITS OWN ONE AFTERNOON WHEN MYSELF, A SHERIFF DEPUTY AND THREE OTHER NEIGHBORS WERE STANDING NEXT TO IT DURING A SEVERE LIGHTNING STORM. THE GARAGE DOOR WAS OPEN, THE KEYS WERE "NOT" IN THE IGNITION BUT WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD LIGHTNING STRIKE IT STARTED.TO RUN. I DID NOT CONTACT ANYONE AND IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL THE TRUCK STARTED AFTER A LIGHTNING STORM. I HAVE SINCE SOLD BOTH VEHICLES BUT THEY ARE STILL IN THE LOCAL AREA. I REALLY FEEL THE GM IGNITION PROBLEM GOES A LOT DEEPER!! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WAS TRAVELING ON BALDWIN RD., CLERMONT COUNTY, OHIO. I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW FOR A CORNER AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR BOARD.I FINALLY GOT THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND I REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I HAD A DISCUSSION WITH A MECHANIC AT MY DEALERSHIP WHILE MY TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE BRAKE LINES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RUST WAS JUST DISCOLORATION AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ON 3/7/2014, I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT HE WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY INVESTIGATION. *TR

ENGINE, STEERING, POWER TRAIN
STARTED TRUCK UP AND LET IDLE FOR TWO MINUTES. UPON TAKE OFF, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH A MESSAGE STATING ENGINE REDUCED POWER. THE TRUCK THEN BEGINS TO RUN VERY ROUGH AND WHEN THE BRAKES WHERE APPLIED IT VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY LUNGED FORWARD. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND WAITED A MINUTE OR TWO. UPON RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT THE REDUCED POWER MESSAGE AND TRACTION LIGHT WHERE GONE. AFTER SITTING AT A LIGHT FOR A FEW SECONDS, THE SYMPTOMS WHERE BACK, NEARLY CAUSING ME TO REAREND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I PULLED OVER AGAIN, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE FOR A MINUTE, RESTARTED AND THE SAME RESULTS AS BEFORE OCCURED. NOW THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TRUCK IS RUNNING AND SITS IN THE SAME SPOT FOR MORE THAN TWO OR THREE MINUTES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION TO TURN LEFT ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR WITH VIRTUALLY NO RESISTANCE AND NO BRAKING AT ALL. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND NO MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. RETURNED TO OUR CAMPSITE USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEAREST GM DEALER. THEY DECIDED IT WOULD BE MORE 'ECONOMICAL' TO SEND THE CORRODED AND LEAKING BRAKE LINES OUT TO A SHOP AS MODELS FOR MAKING UP NEW ONES RATHER THAN USE THE KIT IN TSB 13-05-22-001. UNFORTUNATELY IT TOOK THAT SHOP A WEEK TO DO THE WORK AND WE HAD TO RENT A CAR TO GET AROUND WHILE THE DEALER WAITED FOR PARTS, ADDING SOME $250 TO THE $1113.32 REPAIR COST. SINCE WE WERE OVER A THOUSAND MILES FROM HOME AT THE TIME WE HAD LITTLE CHOICE. *TR

STEERING
SOMETIMES STEERING IS HARD TO STEER AS IF IT HAS NO POWER STEERING. INSTALLED NEW POWER STEERING PUMP CLEANED ALL LINES & INSTALLED NEW FLUID. HAVE HAD FRONT END CHECKED TWICE. TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS, CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. PROBLEM HAPPENS VERY OFTEN. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN TO 1/2 POWER AND BEGAN TO SHAKE/VIBRATE. THE TOP SPEED THEN WAS ABOUT 40MPH. I FINALLY PULLED OVER AND READ MANUAL ON HOW TO RESET IT. IT WORKED PROPERLY THEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 OTHER TIMES. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED YESTERDAY, WITH OUT USING CRUISE CONTROL. TRAVELING AT 30 MPH IT SHUT ME DOWN AGAIN . ONE OF THE SCARIEST TIMES , I WAS TRAVELING IN 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND IT SHUT ME DOWN TO HALF POWER AND IT WAS QUITE DANGEROUS FOR US TO TRY AND MERGE OUT OF THE WAY AND GET OFF TO A SAFE SPOT ON SIDE OF INTERSTATE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, BUT IT SEEMS VERY MUCH LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH ME. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME AS WELL AS OTHER AUTO SPECIALIST IS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE AND THAT IT WILL COST ABOUT 700 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE CABLE ASSEMBLY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
AFTER EXITING INTERSTATE LOST STEERING AND BRAKES BRIEFLY IN PARKING LOT. PUMPED BRAKE AND BOTH RETURNED AFTER A HISSING SOUND. RECURRED A FEW TIMES IN NEXT 6 MONTHS OR SO. THEN, IN THE FALL OF 2013, LOST STEERING AND BRAKES ON I-49/US71B HEADING SOUTH FROM JOPLIN, MISSOURI. YOU COULD PUMP THE BRAKES AND BRIEFLY REGAIN, BUT FOR THE MOST PART ALL STEERING AND BRAKES WERE OUT. TOOK TRUCK TO GMC DEALER WHERE PURCHASED NEW IN BENTONVILLE. DEALER CONFIRMED NO STEERING AND BRAKES AND DAMAGED BUMPER WHILE VEHICLE IN ITS POSSESSION BY BUMPING INTO PARKING LOT BARRIER. DEALER DIAGNOSED POWER STEERING PUMP PROBLEM AND INDICATED THAT BRAKES AND POWER STEERING ARE TIED TO SAME PUMP/SYSTEM. DEALER REPLACED PUMP BUT SAID THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A TWO OR THREE PART SYSTEM COULD ONLY REPLACE THE PUMP. TRUCK CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER FOLLOWING SIMILAR EPISODE WHERE LOST BOTH STEERING AND BRAKES. DEALER REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO REPLACE THE OTHER COMPONENTS BECAUSE COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. DEALER CLAIMED NO NOTICE OF ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE FORM GM OR ANY OTHER SOURCE. WE PLEADED WITH THE DEALER ABOUT IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE AND ASKED THAT THE DEALER REPLACE THE OTHER COMPONENTS IT IDENTIFIED AS POSSIBLY RELATED. DEALER TOOK NO FURTHER ACTION CLAIMING WITHOUT GM TELLING THEM TO LOOK FURTHER AND PAY FOR IT THEY COULD DO NOTHING ELSE. TRUCK CONTINUES TO HAVE PROBLEMS INTERMITTENTLY. IT IS NONSENSICAL FOR A TRUCK TO HAVE TWO SIGNIFICANT SAFETY SYSTEMS TIED TOGETHER WITH NO SECONDARY SUPPORT OR FAIL SAFE SYSTEM TO GUARANTEE THAT OPERATOR STILL HAVE BRAKES AND STEERING AT ALL TIMES. TRUCK ALSO HAS RATTLES CONSISTENT WITH THE SERVICE LETTERS / ISSUES NOTED ON THIS WEBSITE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS VEHICLE HAS THE WORSE HEADLIGHTS OF ANY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED (I HAVE OWNED 341). THE HEADLIGHTS CUT OFF ABRUPTLY AT 36 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. YOU CAN OUTDRIVE THE HEADLIGHTS AT 5 MPH. AFTER 4 VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE AIMED THE HEADLIGHTS UP TO CAST THE LIGHT OUT FURTHER, BUT THE HIGH BEAMS ARE NOW 30 FEET UP IN THE TREES. THE LIGHT IS VERY, VERY DIM OVERALL. I OWN A 2014 MOSSIMO UTV FOUR WHEELER AND THE LIGHTS ARE BRIGHTER AND HAVE MORE DISTANCE THAN MY $50,000 TRUCK, I ALSO OWN A KIA SOUL, A 2013 FORD FUSION, AND A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. ALL OF THOSE HEADLIGHTS ARE MUCH BRIGHTER AND GIVE GREAT LIGHT DISPERSION ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD AND ARE BRIGHT. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE LIKE A 3 WAY BULB 70/100/125 WATT.MY OTHER CARS ARE LIKE THE 125 AND THE GMC IS LESS THAN THE 70 WATT SETTING...GOOD COMPARISON. GMC IS USING 1 HIR SINGLE FILAMENT BULB WITH A MECHANICAL FLAPPER FOR LOW BEAM. VERY SORRY SET UP. I LIVE IN TENNESSEE WHERE THE ROADS ARE CROOKED AND HAVE NO SHOULDERS. IF YOU DRIVE OFF THE ROAD, YOU ARE IN A DEEP DITCH OR DEAD. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. 1901 HEADLIGHTS ON A 2014 TRUCK. I DO NOT ANY LONGER DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT. GM HAS DONE NOTHING. NO FIX, NO BULLETIN. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2014 GMC HEADLIGHTS ON THE INTERNET. I GUESS GM WILL COVER THIS UP LIKE THE IGNITION THING. I HAD A 2002 CORVETTE THAT THE IGNITION WOULD LOCK UP THE STEERING WHEEL ON, WHILE DRIVING. GM SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. I HAD VIDEO. THEY BOUGHT IT BACK. COVERUP ARTISTS! *TR

ENGINE, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE HESITATES AND STALLS UPON ACCELERATION. ACCORDING TO GM DOCUMENT ID NUMBER [XXX] THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION AND THEY HAVE PROGRAMMED THE VEHICLE TO DO THIS. IF GOING INTO TRAFFIC AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE BUILT IN DELAY CAN CAUSE CLOSE CALLS AT BEST AND WORST CASE AN ACCIDENT. THIS COUPLED WITH THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES MENTIONED IN DOCUMENT ID NUMBER 3575856 CREATES THE PERFECT STORM FOR INJURY AND / OR DEATH. GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OTHER THAN TO SAY THEY FEEL IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. THIS COVERS VIRTUALLY ALL GM VEHICLES SINCE 2007 WITH THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE LIKE THAT. TAKES OVER 100X LONGER TO STOP A 3/4 TON TRUCK. I FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINES RUSTED OUT. I ALSO FOUND SEVERAL HUNDRED REPORTS OF THE SAME THINGS ON GM TRUCK ONLINE. I ALSO HEARD YOU WERE INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE ALREADY. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I AM COUNTED AS ONE OF THE EFFECTED PEOPLE. I ALSO READ WHERE GM DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. I DISAGREE. THE LINE FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE ABS UNIT BLEW SO I HAD ZERO BRAKE PRESSURE AND PEDAL. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT OVER $1000 AND A WEEK TRYING TO FIX THIS AND REPLACE ALL THE RUSTED LINE. I STILL DO NOT HAVE THE TRUCK BACK ON THE ROAD. THANKS *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS, SUSPENSION
2005 SIERRA 1500 4X4 I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW 01/ 2005, THE REAR SPRING SHACKLES FAILED ON 02/20/2014 DUE TO RUST, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE REAR 3FT OF FRAME IS BADLY RUSTED MAKING IT NOT ROADWORTHY. GMS POSITION IS THAT THIS IS SOMEHOW NEGLECT ON MY PART AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THE BODY OF THE TRUCK IS NOT RUSTED AND STILL LOOKS GOOD. I FIND IT UNREASONABLE THAT A 9YR OLD TRUCK WITH NO BODY RUST SHOULD HAVE THE FRAME SO RUSTED AS TO MAKE IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED I HAVE EMAILED GMC THAT I WAS HAVING ISSUE UPON DOING SO THEY HAD SENT ME A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL WHICH I TRIED AND IT SAID IT WOULD NOT LET ME FROM MY AREA I EMAILED THEM AGAIN AND THEY DID NOT REPLY. MY MASTER CYLINDER WENT OUT ON MY GMC SIERRA 1500 WT EXTENDED CAB AND I FOUND UPON REPLACING THE MASTER THAT THEY USED A 2006 MASTER CYLINDER ON WHAT THEY CALL A 2007 VEHICLE .. LOST THE BRAKES COMPLETELY NO WRECK. WHAT THEY DID DO WAS SEND ME A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATING MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WAS DUE TO EXPIRE HOW CONVENIENT FOR THEM. I TRIED HARD BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW DID THEY USE 06 ON MY 07 TRUCK TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENT PARTS IT IS IMPORTANT. NOW A FEW MONTHS LATER I AM NOTICING THAT UNDERNEATH THE DRIVERS SIDE THAT ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES IS STARTING TO LEAK I STILL ONLY HAVE 48000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE NO WAY NO HOW SHOULD THE LINES HAVE ROTTED OUT THIS EARLY OR CORRODED GMCS ANSWER IS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. BEING ON DISABILITY I WILL HAVE TO COME UP WITH CLOSE TO 300 DOLLARS TO REPLACE ALL THE LINES BEFORE THEY BLOW OUT AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHICH GMC DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE THAT THEY HAVE INSTALLED DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT PREMATURELY FAIL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS ON MY WAY TO PICK MY KIDS UP AFTER SCHOOL AND AS I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. NO DASH ABS INDICATOR LIGHT OR WARNING LIGHT SHOWING ANY FAULT CODE CAME ON BEFORE OR SINCE. FORTUNATELY, I NEVER FOLLOW CLOSE IN TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO STOP MY VEHICLE USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT AND NOBODY GETTING HURT. SHORTLY AFTER THIS INCIDENT I SAFELY RETURNED HOME BY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. SINCE IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE WHEN I GOT HOME I LEFT ALL UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING TO TAKE A LOOK. THE FOLLOWING MORNING BEHIND MY LEFT FRONT TIRE ON THE GROUND WAS A PUDDLE THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL AND IT WAS BRAKE FLUID, I LOOKED UP AND TRACED IT TO A CORRODED/RUSTED/INFERIOR BRAKE LINE. I CALLED THE LOCAL GM DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE BY VIN FOR THIS ISSUE, SO I THEN CALLED GM CUSTOMER CARE AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD TOOK PLACE AND GM HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP IN SERVICE AND AS I AWAIT WORD ON GM'S POSITION ON WHAT THEY INTEND TO DO TO CORRECT THE ISSUE I CAME ACROSS THIS SITE AND A COUNTLESS LIST OF OTHER GM CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I SECURED A GM CASE NUMBER, TOOK PHOTOS OF THE CORRODED/RUSTED/INFERIOR LINES AND WILL AWAIT WHAT I HOPE WILL BE THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE FROM GM, WHICH IS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE. I'LL UPDATE THIS VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT WITH THE RESPONSE I RECEIVE! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM LEXINGTON KY WHEN I CAME AROUND A CURVE THERE WERE TWO DEER IN THE ROAD. I HIT THE BRAKES HARD AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HIT ONE OF THE DEER WITH A GLANCING BLOW. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK AND THE DEER RAN AWAY. THANK GOD I WAS NOT IN LEXINGTON WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THE DEER WAS NOT A CHILD. I AM 72 YEARS OLD AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY OR THE ENERGY TO MAKE THIS REPAIR. LAST YEAR MY SON WAS BACKING HIS 2001 SILVERADO TO THE LAKE TO LOAD A BOAT WHEN THIS SAME THING HAPPENED. THE TRUCK WENT INTO THE WATER UP TO THE CAB BEFORE HE GOT IT INTO ANOTHER GEAR. AFTER A 1100.00 REPAIR HE TRADED FOR A FORD. GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT
