2009 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

2009 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONSUMER STATED IT FELT AS THOUGH THE BRAKES WERE DRAGGING WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR A LIGHT. *SS THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, PARTICULARLY WHEN TURNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. HE RETURNED TO THE DEALER, A MONTH LATER, AND STILL NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. THE CONSUMER REPLACED THE BRAKE FLUID, AND IT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT WHILE. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ABS AND SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

ON JUNE 5 2014 WE WERE TRAVELING AT 60 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SHTDOWN ACTING LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS, THERE WAS A FULL TANK , THE IGNITION STARTED TO STICK, WE BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC JUNE 12 ON JULY 9 THEY CONTACTED ME SAYING THEY COULD NOT FIX IT AND STILL CHARGED 700 PLUS DOLLARS SAYING BRING IT TO A DEALER SO THEN WE TOWED IT TO PEIRCE CHEVROLET NOW WAITING DINO AGAIN. *TR

THANKFULLY I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD AT ABOUT 25-30 MPH. WHEN I HEARD A LOUD SQUEAK AND A LITTLE NOISE. I THOUGHT THAT SOMETHING MUST HAVE FALLEN IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. I LOOKED IN MY MIRROR AND SAW MY SPARE TIRE LAYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. THANKFULLY, THERE WERE NO CARS FOLLOWING. I TURNED AROUND AND FOUND THAT THE CABLE THAT HOLDS THE SPARE TIRE UP UNDER THE BED OF THE TRUCK HAD BROKEN AND DROPPED THE TIRE AND THE COMPONENTS THAT HOLD THE SPARE TIRE IN PLACE WHERE LAYING ON THE PAVEMENT. I NORMALLY DRIVE ON A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE ROAD AT 70 MPH. I CAN NOT EVEN IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPEN THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THAT ROAD! I AM SURE THAT SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! I HAVE CONTACTED A DEALER AND I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR WHAT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO FIX THE ISSUE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK AND SOME OF THE CRACKS WERE LOCATED DIRECTLY OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,015.

HIT A POTHOLE FULL OF WATER WITH RIGHT REAR TIRE WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THE WATER SPLASHED UP AND ENTERED INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE THROUGH A POOR SEAL CAUSING THE UNIT TO SHUT OFF FUEL TO THE TRUCK. TRUCK STALLED OUT AND WOULD NOT RESTART BLOCKING TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS LIT, AND THE TRUCK HAD THE FOLLOWING CODES SET: P069E, P0231, P025A, P064A. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO HAYDOCY GMC AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE. THEY REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED THE NEW UNIT TO THE TRUCK. THEY RETURNED THE DEFECTIVE PART TO ME AT MY REQUEST AND IT WAS DRIPPING WATER OUT OF THE SEAL. THIS IS SIMILAR TO RECALL 09V154000 FOR SIMILAR 2009 GM VEHICLES THAT WERE ASSEMBLED IN LATE 2008 JUST LIKE MY TRUCK IN WHICH THE SEAL WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD ALLOW WATER TO SEEP INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE. I BELIEVE THIS RECALL SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED ADDITIONAL VEHICLE MODELS INCLUDING THE GMC SIERRA. I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANY DOCUMENTATION, PICTURES, OR PARTS NECESSARY TO ASSIST. *TR

THERE IS A CRACK IN MY TRUCK'S DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE,RIGHT NEXT TO THE AIRBAG SECTION.THE DASHBOARD CRACKED ON ITS OWN,AS IT WAS NEVER SUBJECTED TO ANY KIND OF AN IMPACT OR FORCE. MY REASONABLE DOUBT IS THAT IT CRACKED DUE TO BEING MADE OF LOW QUALITY MATERIAL. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP,SAME PLACE WHERE I ALWAYS TAKE MY TRUCK FOR ANYTHING CONCERNING MY TRUCK. WHEN I BROUGHT MY TRUCK AND SHOWED A SERVICE DEPT. EMPLOYEE, I WAS TOLD THAT NEITHER MY REGULAR,NOR MY EXTENDED VEHICLE WARRANTY COVERED THE DAMAGE,AND IF I WANTED IT REPLACED I WOULD NEED TO PAY ~$250!!! I WAS STUNNED AND APPALLED THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY TO REPLACE SOMETHING THAT WAS CLEARLY A LOW QUALITY PRODUCT,SOMETHING I ALREADY PAID FOR WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK BRAND NEW. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THAT DEALERSHIP, OR ANOTHER GMC DEALERSHIP AS A MATTER OF FACT, EVER AGAIN, JUST OUT OF SPITE. I FEEL CHEATED AND CONNED, AS NOT ONLY DID THE GMC NOT WANT TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD,IT WAS NOT EVEN COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. I SUSPECT GMC KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE SO THEY INTENTIONALLY DID NOT COVER IT UNDER THE VEHICLE WARRANTY. MY REAL CONCERN ISN'T IN THE AESTHETICS OF A CRACKED DASHBOARD,IT IS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGERS THAT DRIVE IN MY TRUCK. IF,GOD FORBID,I WAS TO GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THERE IS A VERY REAL CHANCE THAT THE AIRBAG MIGHT GET PUNCTURED ON THE EDGE OF THE CRACKED DASHBOARD AND FAIL TO DO ITS FUNCTION AS IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY DEFLATE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND ONE THAT MIGHT COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE,DO WE REALLY NEED TO WAIT FOR SOMETHING BAD TO HAPPEN (LIKE THE GMC ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH COST PEOPLE THEIR LIVES AFTER THEIR GMC VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY!!) BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE AND GMC DOES THE RIGHT THING AND OWNS UP TO ITS MISTAKE? *TR

THE POWER DOOR LOCKS WON'T LOCK AND UNLOCK. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED ONE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM AT MY COST. NOW A SECOND LOCK WON'T FUNCTION. THIS IS WELL KNOWN BY GM. THEY REFUSE TO RECALL IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO REPAIR THESE DOOR LOCKS. *TR

I PURCHASED 2 RUGGED RIDGE FRONT FLOOR MATS FOR MY 2009 GMC EXTENDED CAB 1500 SIERRA ON 11/15/13. LAST WEEK ON 1/9/14, I WAS ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE AT FULL THROTTLE. THE ACCELERATOR STUCK DOWN AT FULL THROTTLE AFTER I LIGHTENED PEDDLE PRESSURE TO SLOW DOWN. AT FIRST I HIT THE BRAKES BUT COULDN'T SLOW THE VEHICLE. I THEN TURNED THE IGNITION KEY TO DISENGAGE THE IGNITION. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SLOW. I TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON AND THE TRUCK WAS STILL AT FULL THROTTLE AND I NEARLY REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I THEN PULLED THE FLOOR MAT BACK WITH MY HEEL AND THE ACCELERATOR RELEASED. *TR

TRANSMISSION DELAY FROM PARK TO DRIVE. AS TRANSMISSION MOVES INTO DRIVE THE TRUCK JERKS FORWARD VIOLENTLY. PARK TO REVERSE DID NOT SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM. DEALER WORKED ON THE TRUCK FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 HOURS, FLUSHED TRANSMISSION, AND PERFORMED OIL CHANGE, DID NOT NOTICE ANY METAL IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND SOUGHT AN UPDATE FOR THE TCM (WAS UP-TO-DATE); HOWEVER, A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER WAS SEEN IN THE OIL PAN. DEALER PERFORMED A TEST DRIVE AND THE TRUCK APPEARED TO BE BACK IN WORKING CONDITION. OWNER ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK OUT OF THE DEALER LOT BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. OWNER ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. TRUCK WAS LEFT AT THE DEALER FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AT THIS TIME. TRANSMISSION STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
