2017 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

LOST BRAKE ASSIST. COMING TO A STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL WHET TO THE FLOOR AND THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES STARTED CHATTERING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AS A ROCK AND TOOK 2 FEET TO STOP. I WAS ON A 170 MILE TRIP AND ALMOST HIT SOMEONE 2 TIMES.

NOW WHILE A TRIP TO WHICH I ROLLED OVER 39000 MILES, I HAVE A BALL JOINT EXPLODE PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER AND CAUSING ME TO NOW NEED THAT REPAIRED, NEW TIRE, AND FULL ALIGNMENT. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP I HAVE USED FOR YEARS AND AM TOLD TO BAD AT 36031 MILES YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN AS WARRANTY IS OVER AND HAVE HAD TO TAKE TO FIRESTONE DUE TO SAFETY EMERGENCY AS IT WAS THE CLOSEST REPAIR CENTER TO WHERE I WAS AND DRIVING ANY MORE ON THIS WAS PUTTING MY LIFE IN DANGER. I CALL IN AND GET THE YEP WARRANTY IS OVER CONVERSATION AS WELL. I THEN LOOK AND FIND THE DRIVERS SIDE BALL JOINT ON THE 2017 IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR. SEEMS THERE WAS SOME SORT OF ISSUE WITH QUALITY AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL PUT IN ON THIS AS IT IS A VERY VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND IS HAPPENING AT AN ALARMING RATE. A BALL JOINT SHOULDN'T BE EXPLODED LIKE THIS IN 39000 MILES ON ANY VEHICLE. FORUMS AND THE REPAIR CENTER I WENT TO SAID THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE ON THIS MODEL AND YEAR AND THAT THE PARTS ARE ON A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER BECAUSE IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART.

DISPLAY SCREEN TO BRIGHT WHEN VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE. WHEN PUTTING VEHICLE IN REVERSE THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY IS SO BRIGHT YOU CAN NOT SEE YOUR EXTERIOR MIRRORS OR OUT ANY OF THE WINDOWS TO SEE SURROUNDING AREA. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE YOU ARE BLINDED WHILE BACKING UP. WHEN TOOK THE TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THIS. AND HAVE HAD NO OTHER COMPLAINTS???

ON SCREEN DISPLAY FOR BACKUP CAMERA. WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, THE ON SCREEN DISPLAY IS SO BRIGHT THAT YOU CAN'T SEE OUT THE WINDOWS, THE REARVIEW MIRRORS OR THE SURROUNDING AREA. THIS DISPLAY DOES NOT DIM WITH THE REST OF THE LIGHTS. THIS CAUSES A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD WHEN TRYING TO BACKUP THE VEHICLE.

ORIGINAL ISSUE: BRAKE PEDAL HARD TO PUSH AND TRUCK DID NOT STOP NORMALLY AT LOW SPEEDS. COULD REPRODUCE ISSUE USUALLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE HIT CAR IN FRONT OF ME IF I HADN'T USED EBRAKE. TOOK TO DEALER, DEALER APPLIED SOFTWARE UPDATE TO BRAKING SYSTEM. UPON PICKUP I DISCOVERED THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PERSISTED AND NOW HAD AN ADDITIONAL ISSUE. NOW AT ALMOST EVERY BRAKE EVENT, THE ABS WOULD ENGAGE AND CAUSE THE BRAKE PETAL TO CHATTER/VIBRATE. DEALER AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TRIED TO TELL ME THAT WAS NORMAL AFTER THE RECALL UPDATE. I TOLD THEM THAT COULDN'T BE NORMAL. IT WASN'T HAPPENING BEFORE. AFTER NOT EXCEPTING THAT AS A FIX, THE DEALERSHIP STARTED LOOKING FOR OTHER POSSIBILITY'S. AFTER TELLING THE DEALER I WAS GOING TO TAKE THE TRUCK SOMEWHERE ELSE THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE VACUUM PUMP. THE NEW VACUUM PUMP FIXED BOTH ISSUES! I'M JUST SAYING IF THE RECALL UPDATE IS CAUSING MORE PROBLEMS THEN WHAT IT WAS INTENDED TO FIX. NOW THERE COULD BE A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM ON THE HIGHWAY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE ISSUES. I FEEL LIKE GM IS TRYING TO HIDE A BIG PROBLEM.

I HAS SOME ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES WHEN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND KEPT ROLLING FORWARD AND ALMOST HIT THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. I THOUGHT IT COULD BE MY PADS WORN DOWN SO I DROVE CAUTIOUSLY FOR A FEW DAYS. I GOT A CALL A FEW DAYS LATER FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BROUGHT THE TRUCK FROM SAYING MY ON STAR NOTIFIED THEM OF A RECALL ON MY TRUCK PERTAINING TO THE BRAKES. I THOUGHT GOOD THIS COULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BY THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE, AND THEY DID THE UPDATE. I ALSO ASKED THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE BREAK PADS SO I COULD RULE IT OUT OR DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THEY SAID I HAVE 60% OF MY BRAKE PADS STILL LEFT. THE NEXT DAY I WAS GOING TO WORK AND I GOT TO THE PARKING GARAGE WHERE I WORK AND NOTICED IT WAS DOING IT AGAIN. I PRESSED DOWN ON THE BRAKES TO BACK UP AND I KEPT ROLLING FORWARD AND HAD TO PRESS DOWN HARD AND TO THE FLOOR SO I COULD STOP. SO FAR THERE WAS NOT A CRASH BUT I FEEL ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND FEEL THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RECALL TO FIX THIS.

A FEW TIMES MY BRAKES WHILE GOING SLOW WOULD GET VERY TIGHT AND NOT WORK. WELL TODAY AFTER CHURCH I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT. AS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME MOVED FORWARD, SO DID I. WHEN I TRIED TO STOP I COULDNT. MY BRAKES GOT HARD AND WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I RAN RIGHT INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME

ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED, I APPLY BREAKS, BREAK PEDDLE IS SOFT AND GOES TO THE FLOOR, I SWERVE TO AVOID COLLISION AND QUICKLY PUMP THE BREAKS TO REGAIN PEDDLE AND APPLY BREAKS AGAIN (THIS TIME BRAKES ENGAGE). 6 DIFFERENT TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED. 4 TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR AND TWICE ON A HIGHWAY. CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE AND ME TO REACT. IT APPEARS THE SYSTEM OVERRIDES THE BRAKES TAKING CONTROL AWAY FROM ME. HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM DOES NOT BRAKE THE VEHICLE. ANOTHER OCCUR WAS WHEN I WAS LAUNCHING MY BOAT INTO THE LAKE. I WAS BACKING UP AND LOST BRAKE PRESSURE AND HAD TO APPLY MY EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE TO STOP MY TRUCK FROM GOING INTO THE WATER. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED BY 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS, 4 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE DATE LISTED BELOW WAS THE LAST OCCURRENCE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. (NOT THE PRIOR 5 OCCURRENCES)

TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. THE PEDAL BECAME HARD AS A ROCK WITH NO ADVANCE WARNING. I RECEIVED A NOTICE (N182202780) FROM GM STATING THAT I MIGHT EXPERIENCE INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT. IT WENT ON TO SAY HOW THIS NOTICE "IS NOT A REACALL" AND THAT BRAKES STILL MEETS "ALL FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS FOR BRAKE PERFORMANCE" I'M WRITING TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED NO SYMPTOMS OF A PROBLEM UNTIL THE PEDAL HAD MAYBE 10% ASSIST. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR NOTICE FROM THE DRIVERS INFO CENTER. I APPLIED THE BRAKE, SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, ACCELERATED THEN APPLIED THE BRAKE TO STOP AND MAYBE HAD 10% BRAKING ABILITY. THE NOTICE ALSO WENT ON TO SAY THAT "FAILURE TO FOLLOW RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE INTERVALS COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THIS CONDITION". THE TRUCK HAS 32000 MILES ON IT, I'VE OWNED IT SINCE NEW, I HAVE ALWAYS CHANGES OIL WITH 20% LIFE LEFT IN IT. THIS IS ABOUT 2000 MILE SOONER THAN THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION THAT GM HAS RECOGNIZED IN THERE LETTER, BUT IN MY OPINION, ARE NOT TAKING IT SERIOUS ENOUGH. UNLESS I'M A "ONE OFF" CASE, THIS WILL VERY LIKELY GET PEOPLE HURT AND PROPERTY DAMAGE IF NOT ADDRESSED VERY SOON. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, THANK YOU
