THE GMC SIERRA HAS A TERRIBLE VIBRATION FROM 70 - 80 MPH. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 7 TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR, 9 NEW TIRES, AND THE VIBRATION STILL CONTINUES. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH GM BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION. THE TRUCK FEELS UNSTABLE AND LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THIS VEHICLE HAS ISSUES AND IT NEEDS ADDRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRAME RUSTED ALL OVER WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT IT WAS SURFACE RUST, WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT SURFACE RUST WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,000.

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN 9/2015. I REPORTED A VIBRATION BETWEEN 75-80MPH TO THE NEARBY GM DEALER (TWICE). THE DEALER KEPT THE TRUCK FOR A FEW DAYS AND STATED THEY COULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT, THEY DID A ROAD FORCE BALANCE ON THE TIRES AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM FIXED. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER AT 13K MILES, THEY KEPT THE TRUCK FOR A FEW DAYS AND REPORTED THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED THE TIRES AND STATED THE VIBRATION HAS BEEN RESOLVED. I DROVE THE TRUCK FOR ANOTHER 3K MILES AND NOTICED THAT THE VIBRATION WAS STARTING UP AGAIN. AT 18K MILES, I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER AND THEY ARE GOING TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE PROBLEM A 5TH TIME.

SIGNIFICANT CLUNKING IN REAR END INDICATIVE OF IMPROPER ALIGNMENT OR LASH IS REAR DIFFERENTIAL. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION AT SPEEDS OVER 65 MPH WHEN THE DRIVELINE IS UNDER LOAD. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED THREE TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION TO DATE. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 18,000.

ON 2/5/2017 WHILE TURNING UNTO MY STREET THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULD NOT MOVE MY TRUCK FROM HITTING A BLOCK WALL. I ALSO TRIED BREAKING BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP IN TIME TO NOT HIT THE WALL. I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY (20 MPH) BECAUSE I WAS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND ME AND MY FAMILY WERE ALL WEARING SEATBELTS SO NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. AND I ALSO BENT THE STEERING WHEEL IN HALF TRYING TO MOVE IT. I AM ATTACHING A PICTURE OF THE STEERING WHEEL ITSELF AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT CALIBER COLLISIONS FOR THE REPAIRS. I WENT TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD RUN DIAGNOSTICS AFTER THE TRUCK COMES OUT OF THE SHOP.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS A HARD SHIFT WHEN GOING FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR PARK TO 1ST GEAR. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS CAUSING A SHAKE SIMILAR TO RUNNING OVER INTERSTATE ROAD BUMPERS/ LINES. THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY RESET THE "LEARNING TRANSMISSION" FIXING THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY FOR A DAY OR TWO.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND DANGEROUS IN THIS VEHICLE. VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT AND DANGEROUS WHEN RAINING. IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FROM WHEN I BOUGHT IT. LIGHTING SHOULD BE BETTER ON A $50K TRUCK.
