2016 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

The transmission failed on my vehicle while going highway speeds. The vehicle shifted into neutral and I was force to pull onto the shoulder. The check engine light came on and would no longer drive without the vehicle being turned off and then back on. It would still repeat this problem over the next 2 miles while I traveled to an exit to get to a safe location. The vehicle was towed to the dealership and inspected. An internal problem was found and the whole transmission has to be replace at about 79000 miles.

The truck shakes on right side, it has done this in the past and was taken into the dealer for repair it worked for a few months then it was back and not it has returned again. it is to the point that if feels unsafe to drive

Brakes at low speeds and in drive ways and parking lots when stopping brakes won't work very dangerous a recall was issue but not for my truck, the vacuum pump is bad on my truck

1. Loss of Power Steering - Engine shuts down - Dashboard flickers (sometimes it turns back on) 2. Loss of Power Steering & Engine shuts off while in motion - EXTREMELY DANGEROUS (Usually happens at slower speeds when turning the steering wheel) 3. Dealer has not been able to confirm the problem 4. The dealer won't look at problems unless "it" happens in their hands because the diagnostic does not show this problem. 5. No warning before this happens. No way to force the problem to happen....it just happens usually when turning wheel at slow speeds. 6. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS.... 7. The 2015 Sierra has a recall for this problem, Mine is a 2016 8. PLEASE HELP - VERY DANGEROUS

while driving a hissing sound was heard from rear window, smoke appeared and rear window shattered. Dealer states that there was a short in the electrical system consistent with recall # N192220470 and that my vehicle does have RPO A48. My vehicle was not included in this recall due to geographical location of vehicle (Pennsylvania). This is a known potential fire risk and glass shattered into the vehicle. It should be noted that the outside temp was 60 degrees and my husband did NOT turn on defroster or open the rear window. After the smoke clear and window shattered he noticed that the defroster light was on and he shut it off manually. Had there been rear seat passengers they would have had glass on them and subjected to smoke and possible fire. God forbid a child in a rear facing child safety seat was back there, they would have been at serious risk of harm. GM has been notified and at this time is refusing to include this vehicle in their limited scope recall. I know of several others with similar stories (avail upon request), one lives in South Carolina, proving that this recall should not be limited to northern tier states. The current recall must be expanded to all 50 states asap. Lives and property are at risk.

The contact owns a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated while driving at 45 mph, the four-wheel drive service light illuminated on the instrument panel. As he proceeded driving down the highway, both the service stabilitrak and the no power steering, drive with caution messages appeared on the instrument panel. The contact started losing control of the steering wheel as the vehicle began to sway. The decreased engine power, drive with caution message was also displayed on the instrument panel as the contact cautiously drove the vehicle into a parking lot and restarted the vehicle without further incidence. The next day, the contact drove the vehicle to a dealer where an electrical reboot was performed and the vehicle was returned to the contact. After the vehicle was returned, the contact was driving 50 mph when the failure recurred. The contact continued driving to his destination. The contact returned the vehicle to the dealer where it remained in their possession. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed him that there were no recalls on the VIN. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Truck was purchased on 11:28:20 and had my first oil change in March. Started noticing a ticking sound coming from the motor but it was. Very faint. After a while it went away. After a few weeks later the noise started to get louder and started shaking. Took to the near mechanic and he diagnosed it with bad lifters on the passager side.. I took it to another mechanic where their replaceming all lifters for 4.8k. This truck is not too old and I shouldn’t be replacing any engine parts. It only has 100k miles and it’s a 2016.

-Engine gas consumption state 21 MPG Highway, 17 MPG Combined and 15 MPG City. When I started using this vehicle during the first weeks and months the best MPG I could get at the highway is 18.5 MPG with top tier gas such Shell & Chevron during the first 2 years and now Costco brand. Every since I bought it, the gas MPG have gone down around 0.5 MPG. The vehicle feels that it has to use more gas in order to perform. -The motor oil pump at times moves down from the 40 mark to the 20 when idle at traffic light and when it starts moving, it temporarily moves to the 60 mark. -The transmission is an 8 speed automatic. It has issues shifting to first gear, second gear and times 3rd gear. When driving at slow speeds like in traffic jams, mall parking lots or when you slow down at the traffic light and then turns green and you start accelerating again it feels harsh on gearing down and up, like someone rear ended your vehicle. -This truck has the Active Fuel Management (AFM) and it turns on even slower speeds and you feel how the engine and transmission struggle to really gear up and down. Like it never gears and tries to accelerate at a higher gear. Like in manual transmissions when you accelerate on a higher gear than at correct own it takes forever to reach the needed speed. -Even if all 8 pistons are on it feels as if I am running on a smaller engine like a V6 or V4. -The driver car seat feels that move a little like an 1/8 of an inch. -It just feels that something is wrong with motor and transmission.

AT SLOW SPEED THE BRAKE BECOMES ROCK HARD AND CANNOT BE PUSHED IN. I HAVE RESEARCHED A RECALL # N192268490. I HAVE SEARCHED MY VEHICLE BY VIN AND IT STATES NO RECALL WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I BELIEVE IT IS SOMETHING RELATED TO THE SLOW SPEED BRAKE MODULE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS AN ACTUAL RECALL AND WHY THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED.

STEERING WHEEL JOLTS AGGRESSIVELY FROM THE DRIVERS HANDS. ALL ELECTRONICS SHUTDOWN, ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, STABILITRAK ERROR & TRAILER BRAKE ON DISPLAY. THESE CONDITIONS OCCUR AT ANY SPEED, GOING STRAIGHT OR TURNING. 25MPH IN CITY, DRIVING 45 MPH COUNTRY ROADS OR WHEN STATIONARY. VERY DANGEROUS!
