2009 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

DASH IS CRACKING AT THREE POINTS. TWO ARE LOCATED AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AND THE THIRD IS AT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.

AT 80000 MY TRUCK IS GOING THROUGH 4 TO 6 QTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. AS A MASTER TECHNICIAN THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE POOREST EXCUSE FOR ENGINEERING I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS WITH THIS AFM SYSTEM THEY HAVE. I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOST AN ENGINE BY 100000 MILES. WITH TODAYS TECHNOLOGY THAT'S A BAD JOKE ON THE CONSUMER. WITH SHORTER INTERVALS AND SOME ADDITIVE'S I HAVE MANAGED TO GET TO 1 QT EVERY 1900 MILES AND THAT'S AS GOOD AS IT GETS.

MY TRUCK DIED IN TRAFFIC BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET STARTED AND HOME (2 MILES). MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I AM READING A CODE U0191, WHICH REFERS TO THE FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE. I HAD TO PURCHASE A BATTERY BECAUSE I HAD A BATTERY DRAINING ISSUE AND WAS HAVING TO JUMP IT IF IT SAT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. MY TRUCK WILL NOT START AT THIS TIME. AFTER DOING SOME CHECKING, BOTH MY FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FLOW MODULE FUSES ARE HOT EVEN WITH THE TRUCK IGNITION OFF. WHICH WOULD INDICATE A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM. AFTER SOME RESEARCH , I FOUND A SAFETY RECALL THAT DESCRIBES THE EXACT ISSUE BUT MY VIN DOESN'T COME UP IN THE RECALL. RECALL BULLETIN # 14515B . I GUESS WHAT I AM ASKING IS WHY WASN'T MY VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? APPARENTLY THIS IS AFFECTING MORE VEHICLES THAT WHAT THE RECALL INCLUDED.

CRACKS APPEARED ON DASHBOARD ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND PASSENGER AIRBAG. CRACK NEXT TO AIRBAG APPEARS TO BE SAFETY HAZARD AS IT COULD PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG DURING DEPLOYMENT OR THE PLASTIC COULD EASILY BREAK AND BE LAUNCHED AS A PROJECTILE.

DRIVERS DOES NOT FUNCTION AS ADVERTISED. THE MOTOR CLICKS DURING OPERATION AND AT TIMES DOES NOT OPERATE AT ALL.

ALL DOOR LOCKS ARE INOPERATIVE. THEY WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS WITH EITHER THE KEY OF THE DOOR LOCK BUTTONS. JUST FOUND THIS WEBSITE-HENCE DELAY IN REPORTING, DID CONTACT DEALERSHIP-COST OF REPAIR IS ASTRONOMICAL

DASH IS CRACKED RUNNING DIRECTLY OVER PASSENGER AIR BAG AND ACROSS THE VENT POTIONS OF THE DASH.
