2012 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK ON A COUNTRY ROAD, IT STARTED TO PULL TOWARDS THE RIGHT. I TRIED TO CORRECT BY STEERING TO THE LEFT. MY STEERING WHEEL JUST SPUN AND HAD NO CONTROL OF THE FRONT WHEELS. ITHE STEERING SHAFT BECAME DISENGAGE FROM THE AXEL. I CRASHED INTO TREES AND MY TRUCK WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. THIS HAPPENED ON 9/27/2020. I AM WAITING FOR THE POLICE REPORT AND THE INSPECTION RESULTS FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

TRANSMISSION SURGES WHEN GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED HARD AS IN TRYING TO ENGAGE KICKDOWN OR "PASSING GEAR". SPEED IS NOT A FACTOR, IT HAPPENS AT LOW SPEED AND HIGHER SPEEDS. DEPENDING ON SPEED, TRUCK JERKS SUDDENLY AND ALMOST STALLS OUT. SOMETIMES REAR TIRES CHIRP.SEEMS SIMILAR TO THE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS LATER YEARS HAVE EXPERIENCED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE RPM INCREASED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS FIRM. THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY, TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, FRONT AND REAR BRAKES INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE DOOR LATCHES LOCKED AND UNLOCKED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PAYNE CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (2229 E EXPRESSWAY 83, WESLACO, TX 78599), WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ABS SPEED SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,000.

CRACKED DASHBOARD ON PASSENGER SIDE AT LEFT BACK CORNER OF AIRBAG COVER. THE VEHICLE HA 56K MILES ON IT. GARAGE KEPT.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG. THE PLASTIC IS SHARP AND BRITTLE, AND I'M CONCERNED THAT SHARP SHARDS OF PLASTIC WOULD GO EVERYWHERE IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY WELL-CARED FOR VEHICLE THAT COULD PASS FOR 'NEW CONDITION' OTHER THAN THIS DASHBOARD ISSUE.

TL AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CALLED ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER OF A 2012 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED ON THEIR OWN AND THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP TO HAVE THE AIR BAGS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,067. *LN*JB

DASH CRACKED NEXT TO AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE OF DASH WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 37 NORTH OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TX.

THE DASH HAS CRACKED AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AND ANOTHER CRACK HAS FORMED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE DRIVER SIDE. BOTH CRACKS HAVE FORMED IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS BEGINNING WITH THE ONE AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE TRUCK IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH ONLY 55,000 MILES AT THIS TIME.

STARTING ISSUES,IGNITION?DEALERSHIP CANT SEEM TO FIND PROBLEM?HAPPENS NOW AND THEN,SOMETIMES IT WILL START AND THEN TURN OFF.THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN TRYING TOO START VEHICLE.

GOT IN THE TRUCK A YEAR AGO AND NOTICED A CRACK IN MY DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION I NOTICE 2 MORE CRACKS BOTH BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS HAPPENED AT AROUND 55,000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME I NOTICED THE CRACKS
