2016 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON A STREET WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WOULD NOT MOVE AFTER ATTEMPTING TO PUT THE TRUCK IN "DRIVE". I HAD TO CALL FOR AN EMERGENCY ROADSIDE SERVICE (TOW TRUCK) WHICH TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A GMC DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER HAS DISINTEGRATED AND IT WOULD COST OVER $5000 TO REPAIR. THIS VEHICLE DID NOT PROVIDE ANY WARNINGS (NO WARNING SIGNAL DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL) THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED SERVICING. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS REVIEWING FOR A RECALL.

"SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" MESSAGE HAS CONTINUOUSLY SHOWN UP ON DASH FOR OVER A YEAR, ESPECIALLY WHILE AT LOW SPEED IN REVERSE MOST COMMONLY. VEHICLE FEELS LIKE POWER BRAKES NO LONGER FUNCTION AND VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL UNLESS YOU STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR.

WHEN DRIVING I FELT A SLIGHT SHIFT BETWEEN 1 AND 2. THAT SEEMED PRETTY NORMAL. WHILE DRIVING TO THE OCEAN BETWEEN 50-60 MPH THERE WAS NOT SHIFTING, SHARKING OR JERKING. ONCE SLOWING DOWN TO 30-40 MPH THE RPMS GO EXTREMELY HIGH TO 4 OR 5. PULLING AND JERKING THE VEHICLE. HAPPENING AROUND 20-30 MPH OR AT 40-50. THE VEHICLE WILL COME TO A STOP CAUSING TRAFFIC DISRUPTIONS AND NEAR ACCIDENTS. NO SERVICE OR CODING HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE ISSUE WITH VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION EITHER LOCKED UP OR WAS VERY LOOSE WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. ADDITIONALLY, THE STEERING EITHER CEASED OR BECAME LOOSE. THE CONTACT CONTACTED ED BOZARTH CHEVROLET COMPANY, INC. (2001 S HAVANA ST, AURORA, CO 80247, (720) 773-5338) WHO STATED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

I'VE HAD MOVEMENT IN MY DRIVERS SEAT SINCE THE DAY I'VE OWNER THE TRUCK. GMC PUT IN A SHIM KIT TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BUT IT'S STILL ACTING UP. THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE OR REPAIR ANY FURTHER. ALSO MY TRANSMISSION HAS A HORRIBLE SHIFTING PROBLEM. WHEN IT'S COLD OUT OR AFTER THE FIRST TIME SHIFTING INTO GEAR AFTER SITTING A LONG TIME, THE TRUCK LAGS TO SHIFT INTO GEAR THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN LUNGES FORWARD OR BACKWARDS DEPENDING ON WHICH GEAR I'M IN. I'VE ALMOST RAN THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR AND SIDE FENCE AND HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES. GMC HAS LOOKED INTO THE ISSUES BUT WON'T RESOLVE THEM. THE LAST 'REPAIR' MADE WAS TO CHANGE OUT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THAT HAD HELPED WITH THE HARD SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING BUT THE TRUCK STILL LUNGES FORWARD OR BACKWARDS AND LAGS SHIFTING INTO GEAR. I'VE HAD TO LEARN TO DEAL WITH IT BUT ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD DRIVE MY TRUCK COULD SERIOUSLY HURT THEMSELVES OR SOMEONE ELSE

I USED MY REMOTE START TO START MY 2016 GMC SIERRA TO WARM IT UP WHILE CLEANING THE SNOW OFF MY OTHER WINDOWS. I SMELLED SMOKE AND NOTICED MY DRIVERS SIDE BACK WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTER BEFORE MY EYES. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I SEE MANY PPL THAT HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR INCIDENTS OCCURRING IN GMC VEHICLES YEARS 14-18 SOME EVEN WITH SHARDS SHOOTING INTO THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS, AND EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND STARTED BY REMOTE START

BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD NO BRAKES WHEN I PUSHED THE PEDAL HARDER BRAKES TRIED TO LOCK UP I ALMOST WRECKED

MIPOWERED BRAKE-ASSIST SYSTEM, WHICH REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT A DRIVER NEEDS TO EXERT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IF THE SYSTEM FAILS, A DRIVER MAY FIND THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TAKES MUCH MORE EFFORT TO PUSH. DRIVERS MAY ALSO FIND THAT IT TAKES MORE DISTANCE FOR THEIR VEHICLE TO STOP, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A CRASH,

I HIT A DEER ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE SEATBELTS LOCKED UP ON US AS WE HAD THEM ON, WE PULLED OFF AND TOKE OUR SEATBELTS OFF TO SEE THE DAMAGE DONE AND NOW THE SEATBELTS ARE LOCKED UP COMPLETELY AND WON'T COME LOSE TO WEAR THEM.

THE BRAKES ARE VERY HARD TO PRESS AT LOW SPEED MORE SO AFTER I HAVE PRESSED THEM A COUPLE TIMES OR MORE WHILE IN MOTION IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC . I HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED BUT JUST STARTED EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. VERY SCARY TO NOT HAVE POWER BRAKES ALL OF A SUDDEN! THE RECALL OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM!!
