    As I am driving the truck I notice that as the accelerator is pressed the truck does not respond as it should. I have taken this to a service repair shop and they have stated it is a ongoing issue with these vehicles. So I have taken it upon myself to look online and sure enough OTHERS have also states the same things.

    While making a quick left hand turn at low speed, steering wheel suddenly locked, all lights and electrical went out and engine died. This left me stuck in a busy intersection with no lights. I was able to restart engine after a minute or so. Error message appeared "roll driver side window up, etc." Needless to say, no longer have confidence driving my truck not knowing when this situation may re-occur.

    Truck has 67,000 miles and has been in the dealer 3 times for transmission issues. First was the shutter. Then harsh jerking downshifts. They flushed transmission and filled with new fluid under warranty and after 1,000 miles light on again for transmission fluid temperature sensor. And now they want $800 to replace this issue. There was a recall on the 16 model for the same issue with the wiring. About to cut loss and file lemon law. Had the truck for less then 2 years and put 15,000 miles on it

    My vehicle shakes at different speeds. Do to the admitted mistake that GM said certain assembly lines put the wrong Transmission fluid which causes corrosion to Transmission. Im paying $900 to correct the problem. They should have recalled the vehicles that was affected.

    The power steering failed on three different occasions, all while making a low speed turns. Two of the times it was only a matter of a half a second or so, but the most recent time it failed and I couldn't steer my truck at all and I almost got in an accident. I needed to come to a complete stop, and put my vehicle in park, the power steering warning light had came on. After I stopped, it was another 5-10 seconds before the warning light went off and the steering returned.

    Hi I purchased this used 2017 GMC Sierra Denali on October of 2021 it’s been just only one year and while on the road with my trailer attached , I suddenly got a pop up on my display saying “service trailer brake system “ which caused me to be distracted with the chime and the warning being displayed repeatedly and overall left me with no power at all to my trailer brakes I would like to have this recalled and fixed at little to no cost due to the fact of the cheap and unsafe parts that are installed on these types of trucks by GMC
