2015 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

THE AIR CONDITION CONDENSOR IS LEAKING AND THEREFORE CAUSED THE AC NOT WORK. WE HAVE PURCHASED A NEW CONDENSOR TO REPLACE IT AND FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AT NIGHT, THE CONTACT COULD NOT SEE ABOVE 50 TO 55 FEET AHEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (GRAFF CHEVROLET, OKEMOS, MI, 517-349-8300) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN UTILIZED THE TSB INSTRUCTIONS AND ADJUSTED THE HEADLIGHTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIGHTS BECAME BRIGHTER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT COMPLETELY REPAIRED. THE CONTACT DID NOT REMEMBER WHETHER THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,000.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN BACKING UP BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT AT ITS NORMAL PRESSURE SEEMS TO BE ALL THE WAY DOWN SO HAVE TO PRESS BRAKE HARDER TO STOP THE TRUCK WHEN I SHIFT TO DRIVE FORWARD SAME THING APPLIES. AFTER TRUCK HAS BEEN OFF FOR SOME TIME PARKED THEN START TO DRIVE BRAKES SEEM TO BE WORKING FINE.

BRAKES BECAME HARD TO DEPRESS AND ENGAGE WHILE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. ALMOST CRASHED VEHICLE. AFRAID TO DRIVE. BROUGHT TO DEALER. SAID IT WAS BAD BRAKE BOOSTER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, FOUND OUT SHOULD REPLACE VACUME PUMP, MASTER CYLINDER, HOSE LINE, ETC., SO I DID. 44K MILES, 3 YEAR OLD TRUCK, HAPPENED ON /12/10/17 BROUGHT TO DEALER GARBER GMC IN FLORIDA FOR $1300 REPAIR ON 12/11/2017. NO WARNING SIGNS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN BRAKES FAIL WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT WORK (SLOW SPEED) AND I COULD NOT STOP THE TRUCK. I KEPT APPLYING MORE AND MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT DID NOT STOP THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK HIT THE CURB AND STOPPED, LUCKILY THERE WASN'T A ANOTHER CAR AS I WOULD HAVE HIT IT. IT CAUGHT ME A BIT OFF GUARD AS I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I BACKED THE TRUCK UP ABOUT 10 FEET, BRAKES WORKED FINE IN REVERSE, AND PULLED FORWARD BACK INTO THE SPOT. AGAIN, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK AND I AGAIN I HIT THE CURB. NO DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK, BUT BRAKES DID NOT WORK. IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE PUSHED BACK AGAINST ME. BRAKE PEDAL NEVER WENT TO THE FLOOR, I PUSHED THE PEDAL AND THERE SEEMED TO BE MORE RESISTANCE THAN NORMAL. IT DIDN'T MATTER HOW MUCH I PUSHED, THE TRUCK KEPT MOVING FORWARD. THIS HAPPENED WITH APPROXIMATELY 78,000 MILES. I WAS LATE FOR A MEETING SO I WENT INTO WORK AND LATER IN THE DAY I HAD A BREAK SO I CHECKED ON THE TRUCK. PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND BACK IN AND BRAKES WORKED BOTH IN REVERSE AND IN FORWARD. SO NOW WHAT TO DO????????? AT WORK I DID A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH AND SAW THIS SIMILAR ISSUE COME UP IN A LOT OF THE SEARCH RESPONSES- AND DECIDED TO LOG IT HERE. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AND VERY DANGEROUS IF I WAS IN A CROWD OR PEOPLE OR AT AN INTERSECTION AND COULDN'T STOP. I CALLED GMC AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS- THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE, THEY SAID IF I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN THEY WOULD SEE IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN.

MY VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A DRIVER ALERT SYSTEM WHICH NOTIFY THE DRIVER IF THE VEHICLE STRAYS OUT OF ITS LANE OR IF IT APPROACHED STOPPED TRAFFIC. THIS SYSTEM ALERTS THE DRIVER BY EITHER PLAYING AN AUDIBLE TONE OR BY VIBRATING THE SEAT. THE VIBRATION MOTORS IN THE SEAT OF MY VEHICLE HAVE BROKEN THREE TIMES DUE TO A PINCHED WIRE DUE TO GM'S POOR DESIGN. WHEN THE MOTOR BREAKS, A ERROR IS DISPLAYED SAYING TO SERVICE THE DRIVER ALERT SYSTEM. THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND WHEN IT WAS MOVING.

AT 50,000 MILES, AND 24 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT NEW, THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING DUE TO A FAULTY CONDENSER. AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS AN EXTREMELY HIGH FAILURE RATE OF GMC TRUCKS FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. IT IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT PER SEVERAL GM DEALERS WHO ARE LEFT TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. A BRACKET TO SECURE THE A/C LINE WAS NEVER INSTALLED WHEN VEHICLE WAS BUILT, CAUSING MOVEMENT IN THE LINE WHICH EVENTUALLY CAN RUIN THE CONDENSER, AC LINE AND COMPRESSOR. I ASKED GM DEALER TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE BEST THAT GM WAS WILLING TO DO WAS TO PAY 40% OF THE REPAIR BILL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, AS THE DEFECT IS WIDESPREAD IN MANY OF THEIR LIGHT TRUCKS

WE WANT TO REPORT A SAFETY FEATURE IN 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WE BOUGHT A VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND IT CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ON 11/4/2017 AFTER WE GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE 10, THE BREAK FROM THIS TRUCK STOPPED WORKING, WE HAD A DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TIME TO MAKE IT STOP, AND WAS LUCKY TO MANAGE TO GET INTO A STORE'S PARKING. WE HAVE TO HAUL IT TO THE LOCAL GMC ON MONDAY AND FOUND OUT THE BREAK PUMP WAS BAD. THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT IF WE WERE STILL IN THE FREEWAY. WE CALLED GMC TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS PROBLEM IS SERIOUS AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

I BEGAN TO HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE LOOSE REAR SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ABOUT A YEAR INTO OWNING THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS ADVISED THAT PER THE GM SERVICE BULLETIN, THEY RE-TORQUE THE LEAF SPRING BOLTS. IT WAS FINE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, THEN THE NOISE BEGAN AGAIN. IT'S NOW BEEN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES WITH 11 DAYS OUT OF SERVICE. THE RESPONSE CONTINUES TO BE, THEY'VE RE-TORQUED THE BOLTS TO GM SPECS AND NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO. IT'S VERY CLEAR BY THE NOISE THAT CAN BE HEARD, BOTH WHILE MOVING FORWARD AND BACKING IN, SOMETHING IS NOT WITHIN SPECS. THE TRUCK IS UNDER WARRANTY AND I AM A COUPLE OF MONTHS OVER ON LEMON LAW ARBITRATION. GM IS DOING NOTHING TO ADDRESS WHAT COULD EASILY BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THE BOLTS CONTINUALLY NEED TO BE RE-TORQUED. I'VE TAKEN TO ONLINE FORUM SEARCHES TO FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A SIMILAR TAP DANCE DONE BY GM. IT'S SHAMEFUL THAT CONSUMERS ARE BUYING A $40K TO $70K TRUCK AND HAVING THESE ISSUES WITH NO SOLUTIONS BEING PROVIDED THROUGH THE TRUCK WARRANTY. AND WHEN THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT, HOW EXPENSIVE WILL THIS BE? NOT TO FORGET, DANGEROUS. I AM CONCERNED THAT ONE DAY, THE REAR-END IS GOING TO COME OUT FROM UNDER MY TRUCK AND HOPEFULLY IT'S NOT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE TRUCK. MY TRUCK IS USED FOR MY DAILY COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK. IT'S WELL MAINTAINED, NOT ABUSED AND HAS UNDER 20K MILES. I'VE TURNED TO BBB FOR HELP AND WAS OFFERED 2 YEARS OF OIL CHANGES BY GM. OIL CHANGES DON'T FIX THE PROBLEM!

POWER STEERING COMES AND GOES, WHEN IT GOES YOU CANNOT HARDLY STEER VEHICLE. GMC SAYS MY TRUCK NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL AND WANTS 2500 TO FIX PROBLEM. MOSTLY DOES IT IN A LOW SPEED TURN.
