WHEN DRIVING ABOUT 40 TO 50 MPH THE TRUCK SHAKES LIKE IT HAS A BAD CV JOINT ON YOUR DRIVESHAFT AND WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK I TOOK IT IN FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE DEALER SAID IT'S NORMAL DUE TO ENGINE SHUTDOWN OF CYLINDERS. SO I LIVED WITH IT WHEN MY WARRANTY RAN OUT I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DUE TO SAME PROBLEM BUT NOW THE DEALER SAID I NEED NEW FUEL INJECTORS ALL OF THEM ARE BAD PER DEALER AND TO REPLACE WAS 1500 DOLLARS. I FEEL THIS WAS ORIGINAL ISSUE AND WANT TO SEE IF OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE GETTING SAME BAD ISSUES

REMOTELY STARTED THE VEHICLE THIS MORNING AND CAME OUT TO FIND IT SMOKE FILLED AND THE REAR DEFROST ON DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS ON FIRE AND SMOKING. IT FILLED CAR WITH SMOKE AND SHATTERED THE WINDOW. *JS

VERY POOR HEADLIGHTS. I JUST CAN'T SEE. IT IS LIKE A FOG. NLOCKED OUT SIDE VIEWS. DIMS ARE NOT GOOD AND BRIGHTS DON'T EVEN GET FLASHED BY ONCOMING VEHICLES. THEY SHINE IN THE TREES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THREE TIMES TO A DEALER OF GMC'S AND THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION. THEY SAID THEY REALIZE THE PROBLEM BUT HANDS ARE TIED BECAUSE I THINK IF THEY START TO FIX IT A CAN OF WORMS WILL BE OPENED UP AND COST THE COMPANY. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS MUST YOU HAVE?

I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER, AND MY DAUGHTER SAID "MOM, IT'S SIZZLING." I LOOKED BACK AND THERE WAS SMOKE ON THE REAR WINDOW. THEN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG, AND IT SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION AT THE TIME. I WAS JUST GETTING READY TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING AREA IN MY DRIVEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE PRECEDING VEHICLE STOPPED ABRUPTLY. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, IT TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STARTED TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE STOPPED VEHICLE.

WHEN BRAKING THE PEDAL GETS REALLY HARD. WHEN BACKING MY SMALL BOAT IN THE LAKE I HAVE HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKES TO GET IT TO STOP. HOPING TRUCK AND BOAT ALONG WITH MYSELF WOULD NOT GO DOWN. VERY SCARY. WHEN THE FIRST INITIAL PUSH IT SEEMS FINE BUT THEN THEY GO. FORWARDS YOU CAN TELL THEY ARE NOT RIGHT AND YOU HAD BETTER STAY YOUR DISTANCE FROM ANYTHING IN FRONT OF YOU. AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS IS CRAZY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL DON'T THINK A SMALLER MAN OR WOMAN COULD HAVE PREVENTED THE HOLE THING FROM GOING IN THE WATER. LOVE THE TRUCK WE ALL HAVE PROBLEMS. CONFRONT THEM AND GET IT RIGHT. STILL LOVE GMC. MAYBE NOT GMC BOARD THOUGH. MAN UP BEFORE SOMEONE LOOSES A LOVED ONE.
