2015 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARDER TO DEPRESS TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GRAFF CHEVROLET BUICK (495 SANILAC RD, SANDUSKY, MI 48471, (810) 648-9850), BUT NO FAILURES WERE LOCATED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

STEERING ELECTRICAL ASSIST FIGHTBACK, DRIVING,TURNING RESULTING IN NO STEERING-DEADLY! THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS! ENGINE MUST BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED BEFORE YOU CAN GET OUT OF STREET. THEN MESSAGE READS "LOWER DRIVER WINDOW THEN RAISE" BEFORE PROCEEDING.

SAFETY ISSUE: KNOWN ISSUE TO GM BUT COMPANY REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AS A SAFETY ISSUE. A LARGE NUMBER OF GMC/CHEVROLET PICKUPS HAVE VIBRATION ISSUE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING STRESS AND UNNATURAL WEAR ON VEHICLE COMPONENTS WHICH MIGHT FAIL CAUSING A CRASH AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. GM DEALERS UNWILLING TO SOLVE ISSUE ON MAJORITY OF AFFECTED VEHICLES (2014-2015).

UNSAFE HEAD LIGHTS AND THE SUPPOSED UPDATED HEADLIGHT ARE ONLY GOOD FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12,000 MILES.. THE REPLACEMENTS HAVE BOTH BURNED OUT ALREADY AT $50 EACH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED AND SHATTERED INTO PIECES. MCNEILL CHEVROLET BUICK IN SWANTON, OHIO WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

ELECTRIC STEERING STARTED LEAKING TOOK IT TO DEALER WASINFORMED UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST 1660. DOLLARS TRUCK HAS 76000 MILES

HEADLIGHTS ARE INADEQUATE ON HIGH OR LOW BEAMS. IT SEEMS THAT THE LIGHT IS FOCUSED INTO TWO NARROW BEAMS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOW LUMEN LEVEL OF THE LED BULBS. THESE NARROW BEAMS DON'T LIGHT UP ENOUGH OF WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU FOR NIGHT DRIVING. I HAVE TO USE MY FOG LAMPS TO TURN ONTO STREETS WITHOUT STREET LIGHTS ON THE CORNER. THE RECIRCULATING SWITCH FOR THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL NOT EVEN REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF OUTSIDE AIR COMING INTO THE CABIN, MUCH LESS OCCLUDE IT. NOT GOOD IN 5 O:CLOCK TRAFFIC OR WHEN YOUR BEHIND A DIESEL BURNER. THE DEALERSHIP ACTS LIKE THEY ARE CLUELESS AND SAY EVERYTHING IS WORKING AS IT SHOULD. AFTER READING THIS FORM WITH SO MANY HEADLIGHT COMPLAINTS, I ASKED IF THEY HAD EVER GOTTEN ANY COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE AND THEY DENIED THAT THEY EVER HAVE; AND THEY DID IT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE!

I WAS FOLLOWING MY DAUGHTER WHO WAS EXITING THE GAS STATION AND PULLING OUT ONTO ROUTE 149. AS SHE PULLED UP TO ROUTE 149 SHE STOPPED TO CHECK TRAFFIC. I WAS BEHIND HER IN MY 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500, GOING APPROX. 2 MPH. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES, NOTHING HAPPENED. THE TRUCK KEPT MOVING FORWARD AND I HIT THE REAR OF MY DAUGHTERS CAR, CRACKING THE REAR BUMPER. NO DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK BECAUSE I WAS ONLY GOING A COUPLE MPH, LUCKILY MY DAUGHTER HAD HER FOOT ON THE BREAK OF HER CAR, OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE PUSHED HER RIGHT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE FACT THAT SHE HAD HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE IS WHAT STOPPED MY TRUCK. WE BOTH BACKED UP AND GOT OUT OF THE INTERSECTION, WHEN BACKING UP THE BRAKES WORKED FINE. THERE WASN'T A SPOT TO LEAVE THE TRUCK SO I HAD TO DRIVE 3 MILES BACK TO MY HOUSE. THE BRAKES WORKED PERFECTLY AFTER, NO ISSUES WHAT SO EVER. IT SEEMED LIKE AT THE SLOW SPEED THAT BRAKES DIDN'T HAVE ANY BOOST (OR PRESSURE), THE PEDAL WAS VERY VERY STIFF, IT FELT LIKE IT WAS PUSHING BACK AGAINST ME WHEN I HIT THE REAR OF MY DAUGHTERS CAR. BUT DRIVING HOME EVERYTHING WORKED PERFECT. I'M BRINGING THE TRUCK IN (APPROX. 72K MILES) TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BUT I'M CONCERNED THE DEALER WILL NOT KNOW WHAT TO FIX AS THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE INTERMITTENT. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS INTERSECTION AND I COULD HAVE PUSHED MY DAUGHTER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE RESULT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MUCH WORSE. SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND WHEN GOOGLING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND MANY SIMILAR ISSUES/COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE BRAKES.

POOR QUALITY HEADLIGHTS, VERY DIFFICULT TO NOT "OVER DRIVE" THE PROJECTED RANGE OF HEADLIGHTS. IN REALITY, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY NEVER DRIVE OVER 35 MPH AFTER DARK. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ANYTHING IN THE RAIN.

HEADLIGHT ON THE 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500 SLT ARE TERRIBLE. THEY ARE THE WORST OF ANY VEHICLE I'VE DRIVEN. THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM THE POORLY DESIGNED REFLECTOR FOR THE HALOGEN BULB.
