2015 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

BRAKES FAILED. I WAS BACKING INTO MY GARAGE AND THE PEDAL BECAME REALLY HARD TO PUSH. I ALMOST DID NOT GET STOPPED BEFORE I HIT THE WALL.

A/C STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. FOUND OUT THAT THE CONDENSER HAD A LEAK. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A BIG PROBLEM

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OTHER RECALL RELATED SERVICE. I FURTHER REQUESTED THEY CHECK THE HVAC, AS IT STOPPED WORKING APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO. I HAD IT RECHARGED ONCE, AND THE CHARGE FAILED TO HOLD. THE GMC DEALERSHIP IN MOBILE, AL EXPLAINED THEY HAVE RECEIVED A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT FAILURES OCCURRING TO THE AC SYSTEM. HE EXPLAINED IT CENTERS AROUND FAILURE OF A WELD IN THE COILS. HE STATED THE REPAIR COSTS APPROXIMATELY $1,300.00 AT THE DEALERSHIP...HE WAS DISCOUNTING THE COST TO $950.00 TO COMPETE WITH THE LOCAL VEHICLE AC SHOP WHICH CHARGES APPROX $800.00 FOR THE SAME SERVICE. HE ADVISED HE WAS NOT AWARE OF A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM AND FURTHER ADVISED HE WAS SURPRISED GM HADN'T RECALLED, AS IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM. I AM FILING A FORMAL COMPLAINT IN HOPES OTHERS HAVE DONE THE SAME, AS GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS FAILURE.

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON WHILE BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT, MY BRAKES BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. THE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO PRESS AND WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE RESULT WAS THE VEHICLE ROLLING DOWN AN INCLINED PARKING LOT AND HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. NORMAL BRAKING HAD RESUMED WHEN LEAVING THE ACCIDENT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FOR THE BRAKES TO BECOME UNRESPONSIVE AT LOW SPEEDS. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO THE SAME SITUATION HAPPENED DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT. BRAKES BECAME EXTREMELY FIRM AND UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. NO DAMAGE RESULTED FROM THAT INCIDENT. AFTER READING SEVERAL MESSAGE BOARDS, IT APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT RESULTS IN REPLACEMENT OF MULTIPLE POWER BRAKING COMPONENTS. I CURRENTLY FEEL EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT MY BRAKES DID NOT FAIL 5 MINUTES EARLIER WHILE PICKING UP MY CHILD FROM SCHOOL.

BRAKES FAILED TO RESER AT LOW SPEEDS, RESULTING IN NEAR COLLISION. BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND UNRESPONSIVE. HAS ALSO HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY, WAS TOLD BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILURE IS THE CAUSE. WAS NOTIFIED THIS DOES NOT QUALIFY UNDER VEHICLE WARRANTY DESPITE READING OF MULTIPLE REPORTS OF FAILURE, TECHNICAL BULLETIN RELEASE, AND IMMEDIATE SAFETY ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING 1-10 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS AND FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

CASE 3:18-CV-00096 BILLY FRANK AND JOHN O'BRIEN, ON BEHALF OF THEMSELVES AND ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED. THIS OUTLINES THE ISSUE IN DETAIL. HTTPS://WWW.LIEFFCABRASER.COM/PDF/GM_AC_SYSTEM_COMPLAINT.PDF

BACKING UP THE TRUCK THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP LIKE I LOST POWER I ALMOST HIT MY DOG AND THE GARAGE IT WAS VERY SCARY

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SLOW DRIVING IN PARKING LOTS I HAVE LOST POWER ASSIST BRAKING AND ALMOST HIT A CAR PARKED IN THE SPOT IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE READ ONLINE ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP AND AM THINKING THAT IS MY ISSUE. MY BRAKE PEDAL AFTER A FEW PUMPS WILL GET SUPER STIFF. ON EVERY OCCASION THAT THIS HAPPENED IT WAS SLOW MOVING ADJUSTING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND HAD PUMPED THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES. THE PEDAL THEN BECOMES STILL AND PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT GET THE BRAKING POWER AS EXPECTED.

WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS IF YOU TAP THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WON'T DEPRESS AND THE TRUCK WILL KEEP ROLLING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M TRYING TO PARK USUALLY. I WAS BACKING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND IT DIDN'T STOP AFTER TAPING THE BRAKE PEDAL 3 TIMES. I HIT THE TELEPHONE POLE WITH REAR BUMPER WHICH BENT THE BODY OF THE LEFT REAR FENDER ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE TAILGATE TO NOT OPEN. MY GMC DEALER REPLACED THE FAULTY BOOSTER PUMP FOR $1029.35 AND I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR 2 DAYS.
