2015 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR TEST DRIVE FOR TRADE IN PURPOSES AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY RADIATOR LEAKED AND IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH 2015 GMC SIERRA AND NEEDED REPLACING FOR $1400. THERE IS A RECALL FOR SAME PROBLEM WITH 2014 YEAR BUT NOT 2015 AND THIS SHOULD BE CORRECTED BECAUSE IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR DEFECTIVE PART.

PAINT IS LITERALLY FALLING OFF IN CHUNKS. I BABY MY TRUCK. ITS MINT CONDITION, BUT I NOTICED THE PAINT IS NOT ADHERING TO THE PRIMER IN ATLEAST 2 SPOTS. AFTER SOME RAIN, THE PAINT JUST FELL OFF THE VEHICLE. GM REFUSES TO ASSIST IN REPAIRING. FOR THE COST OF THE VEHICLE THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A MAJOR ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE HAS NO CLAIMS OR PREVIOUS BODY DAMAGE.

WHILE DRIVING, A MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE DISPLAY THAT READS: "WARNING TAKING YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TOO LONG, OR TOO OFTEN WHILE USING THIS SYSTEM COULD CAUSE A CRASH, RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU OR OTHERS. FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON DRIVING" SERIOUSLY, WHEN A WARNING MESSAGE POPS UP, WE READ IT! I HAVE GOTTEN USE TO THIS STUPIDITY AND JUST HIT OK. BUT EVEN AT THAT, YOU STILL GET DISTRACTED. PROBLEM NOW, IS THAT EVEN HITTING OK DOES NOT CLEAR IT. THIS MESSAGE SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. I HAVE READ THAT THIS A BIG ISSUE AMONG MANY GMC AND CHEVY OWNERS. GM IS LITERALLY CREATING THE SAFETY HAZARD.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREETS, TRUCK LOSES ALL ELECTRICAL POWER, LOSES POWER STEERING,RADIO, GAUGE CLUSTER POWER AND ENGINE DIES. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES TODAY. IT IMMEDIATELY ALL COMES BACK ON(SO FAR) BUT COULD DEFINITELY BE A SAFETY CONCERN IF THE CONDITIONS WERE RIGHT.

COOLANT IS LEAKING. SMOKE COMES FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT'S COLD OUT. TEMPERATURE IS FLUCTUATING.

AT LOW SPEEDS AFTER PUMPING BRAKES I HAVE NO BRAKE PRESSURE AND CANNOT STOP. PEDAL BOTTOMS OUT. ONCE I START MOVING AGAIN BRAKES COME BACK AGAIN.

THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT ALLOWED RAIN TO ENTER THE CAB OF TRUCK.(GASKET FAILED) HEADLINER, CARPET ON FLOOR, INSULATION ALL RUINED. DIAGNOSED BY A "WATER DOCTOR" AT THE DEALER WHERE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED. THE FLOOR ON THE PASSENGER FRONT WAS SOAKED, HEADLINER IS STAINED. I REMOVED ALL SEATS, CARPET, INSULATION AND THE SMELL IS STILL THERE. CALLED GMC TO TRY TO GET ASSISTANCE ON REPAIRS. TRUCK IS OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY. GMC OFFERED $585 LEAVING A BALANCE OF $1300 TO BE PAID BY ME TO REPLACE THE HEADLINER. HOW IS IT THAT THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT ALLOWS RAIN TO ENTER THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. ITEMIZED ESTIMATE FROM DEALER TO REPLACE AND PUT TRUCK BACK TOGETHER IS $4500-$5000. MONEY THAT I DON'T HAVE. THIS IS A POOR DESIGN. DID NOT KNOW/REALIZE THAT A GASKET WOULD FAIL AND ALLOW WATER TO LEAK INSIDE. THE TRUCK IS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY OR ON THE STREET. I DO NOT HAVE A GARAGE. I STARTED TAKING THE SEATS AND CARPET OUT THE LAST WEEK OF DECEMBER 2020. OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS INSULATION WAS REMOVED. THE MOLDY/MUSTY SMELL REMAINS. GMC WAS CONTACTED APPROXIMATELY THE LAST OF JANUARY OR THE FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY 2021. I AM STILL IN TALKS WITH THEM. AARON, CASE MANAGER AT GMC WITH WHOM I HAVE BEEN DEALING. HE IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT SOMEWAY TO GIVE ME ASSISTANCE IN GETTING MY TRUCK BACK TOGETHER. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN LEAKING BEFORE I STARTED SMELLING THE MUSTY ODOR.

MY BRAKE ASSIST SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY TRUCK AND THE BRAKES ARE ACTING WEIRD AT LOW SPEEDS. I KNOW THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THIS IN 2015 GMC SIERRA'S BUT APPARENTLY MINE ISN'T INCLUDED. THIS IS APPARENTLY A PROBLEM FOR ALL 2015 GMC'S SO HOW DO I GET MINE INCLUDED. I ALREADY CONTACTED MY LOCAL GM DEALER AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS I PAY FOR IT. IT'S OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN PROBLEM AND A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN THEY ARE ADMITTING. HELP ME GET ALL 2015 GMC ON THE RECALL LIST BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE GETS HURT OR KILLED
