AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL FIX AND THEY ASK IF I WANTED A DIAGNOSIS ON THE TRUCK FOR A CHARGE . I SAID YES CAUSE I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ON. WHICH THEY BOTH CAME ON A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT. SO THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THE BELT TENSIONER IS OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THAT THE WIRING UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT IS MESSED UP. AND THEY TOLD ME SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WERE WRONG WITH MY TRUCK THAT I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT WERE FALSE. BUT I ASKED HIM IF THE SEAT BELT AND WORKING ISSUE IS COVERED UNDER A SAFETY WARRANTY. AND HE SAID NO AND TO FIX YOUR TRUCK IT WILL BE 5400 DOLLARS. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THESE ITEMS AND THE RECALL NUMBER IS 15522. SO I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF I'M OR THE SERVICES ADVISOR. THANKS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS ARE DOWN RIGHT DANGEROUS AT NIGHTTIME TO THE POINT IT'S NOT EVEN SAFE TO OPERATE AT NIGHT BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT SEE WHERE YOUR GOING,ESPECIALLY ON HILLY TERRAIN AND CURVY WINDING ROADS. THE TIME YOU REACT YOU WILL BE OFF THE ROAD RESULTING IN A CRASH, BRINGING INJURY OR DEATH TO ONESELF OR ANOTHER OCCUPANT ON THE ROADWAY. LIGHTS OR WAY TO WEAK AND NOT LOCATED IN THE RIGHT SPOT ON TRUCK MAKING HALF YOUR VIEW IN COMPLETE DARKNESS WHEN GOING UP AND DOWN ON HILLY TERRAIN. FOR THE LIFE OF ME CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE IN THE DAY AND AGE WE LIFE IN. PLEASE GET THIS RECALLED AND SAFE PEOPLE'S LIFE. ACCIDENTS MAY HAPPEN AND SOMEONE MIGHT GO OFF THE ROAD AND GET KILLED AND NO ONE WILL KNOW WHY THEY WENT OFF THE ROADWAY JUST THINKING MAYBE THEY FEEL ASLEEP AND THE REAL RESULT WAS IMPROPER HEAD LIGHTING AND LACK OF VISION TO STAY ON THE ROADWAY. PLEASE HELP GET THIS ON THE RECALL LIST AND IT'S NOT EVEN A EXPENSIVE FIX. HELP SAFE LIFES! THANK YOU

AIR BAGS
DASHBOARD CRACKED ADJACENT TO PASSENGER AIRBAG POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THERE IS BRITTLE PLASTIC IN THE AREA WHERE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WOULD TAKE PLACE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE BY ME AND MANY OTHERS AND YET NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN BY NHTSA OR GM FOR A REMEDY. I'M SKEPTICAL ABOUT WHETHER IT'S WORTH TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE SUCH REPORTS TO NHTSA WHEN YOUR RESPONSE SOUNDS MORE LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN BY GM CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS RATHER THAN THE PUBLIC SAFETY ADVOCATE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. YOU CLAIM THERE IS INSUFFICIENT DATA TO TAKE ACTION. MODEL YEARS AFFECTED ARE FROM 2007 THROUGH 2014 ON NUMEROUS GM NAMEPLATES IE: AVALANCHE, SILVERADO, TAHOE, SUBURBAN, YUKON (XL), SIERRA AND ESCALADE. ERRING ON THE SIDE OF SAFETY SHOULD, AT LEAST, PROMPT AN INVESTIGATION FROM THE DATA ALREADY RECEIVED. IT SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED THAT THIS DESIGN AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION OCCURRED WHEN GM WAS BEING BAILED OUT BY TAX PAYERS AND QUITE A FEW OF THEM ARE NOW LEFT HOLDING THE BAG WHILE THEY ARE POTENTIALLY AT RISK..

MY TRUCK HAS THE SAME ENGINE/DRIVE-TRAIN/COOLING SYSTEM, BUT THE YEAR OF THE TSB ONLY APPLIES TO LD MODELS. GMC WILL NOT COVER REPAIR COSTS. GMC DEALER QUOTED ME $2900 FOR REPAIR.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED 4-5 TIMES OVER THE LAST WEEK DRIVING BETWEEN 25-40 MPH. WHILE DRIVING, A WARNING OR NOTIFICATION POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN STATING STABILITRACK OFF OR STEERING ASSIST OFF, WHICH STIFFENS THE STEERING WHEEL AND I CAN'T TURN THE TRUCK AT ALL. AT ONE POINT, THE NOTIFICATIONS POPPED UP AND THEN MY A/C WENT OFF AND RADIO WENT OFF ALONG WITH MY ENTIRE VEHICLE. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES, PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND THEN RESTART AT WHICH POINT IT CAME BACK ON AND WORKED UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER AND ASSESS WHAT HAD OCCURRED. I ATTEMPTED TO CALL GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE (800-996-9463) AND ADVISE THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED A RECALL (#17276 - LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST), BUT IT DIDN'T APPLY TO MY VIN#. IT ONLY APPLIED TO 2014 MODELS OF BOTH CHEVROLET SILVERADO LD AND GMC SIERRA LD VEHICLES, WHEREAS MY VEHICLE IS A 2014 GMC SIERRA LTD. THEY ADVISED THAT A GMC DEALER COULD "REPROGRAM THE EPS MODULE SOFTWARE", BUT THE COST WOULD COME OUT OF MY POCKET AND THEY WOULDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE ANY FAULT OR RECALL ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS OBVIOUSLY THE FACT I HAVE KIDS AND TRANSPORT THEM TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND SPORTING EVENTS. I COULDN'T EVEN IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE INJURIES TO PASSENGERS OR THE DRIVER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND I'M SURPRISED THIS HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED OR ACKNOWLEDGED BY GMC.

SERVICE BRAKES
SOME TIME TRAVELING BETWEEN 60-70 MPH THE TRUCK HAS A VIBRATION OR SOMETHING, BUT IF I TAP THE BREAK PEDAL IT STOPS. I'VE HAD THIS FOUR TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE. TOOK TRUCK TO THE DEALER, THEY FOUND NO CODE LISTED. JUST THIS WEEKEND AS I WAS EXITING THE INTERSTATE RAMP TO I-71 SOUTH THE TRUCK WAS SLOWING DOWN AND I HAD PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS AS IF THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS BEING APPLIED, TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE . BREAK PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PRESS. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTARTED, PEDAL WAS STILL VERY FIRM BUT AFTER PUMPING PEDAL, I HEARD THIS SOUND LIKE YOU WERE PASSING GSS YOURSELF AND THEN THE PETAL WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT CAUSE A WRECK AS MY SPEED WAS BEING REDUCED TO A SLOW SPEED HAVING TO PULL ON INTERSTATE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY TRUCK MEETS THE EXACT DESCRIPTION OUTLINED IN GM RECALL #17276 RESULTING FROM NHTSA ACKNOWLEDEGEMENT NEF-150SM AND 17V-414. INSTEAD OF RE-CONSTRUCTING THE DESCRIPTION MYSELF, I WILL JUST PROVIDE THE LANGUAGE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL NOTICE BECAUSE IT IS EXACTLY THE SYMPTOMS MY TRUCK EXPERIENCES. I COULDN'T DECRIBE IT BETTER IF I TRIED. FROM GM RECALL NOTIFICATION N172085440 "CONDITION: GENERAL MOTORS HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN CERTAIN 2014 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET SILVERADO LD AND GMC SIERRA LD VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE A TEMPORARY LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ASSIST FOLLOWED BY A SUDDEN RETURN OF EPS ASSIST, PARTICULARLY DURING LOW-SPEED TURNING MANEUVERS. THE LOSS AND SUDDEN RETURN OF EPS ASSIST TYPICALLY HAPPENS WITHIN A 1 SECOND PERIOD AND IS CAUSED BY AN ELECTRICAL/SOFTWARE ISSUE. IF EPS ASSIST IS LOST AND SUDDENLY RETURNED, THE DRIVER COULD LOSE TEMPORARY CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE EPS MODULE SOFTWARE."

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WENT THROUGH CAR WASH THIS AFTERNOON, UPON LEAVING THE CAR WASH ATTEMPTED TO USE THE WIPERS TO CLEAN EXCESS WATER OFF WINDSHIELD. THE WIPERS FAILED TO WORK AT ALL, TRIED ALL SPEEDS AND STILL NOTHING. ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS ON THE LEVER WORK AS EXPECTED, SUCH AS WIPER FLUID, TURN SIGNALS, ECT. LUCKY I WAS NEAR HOME AND NOT FAR AWAY AND CAUGHT IN RAIN WHERE THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BECAME MUCH MORE SERIOUS.
