TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500 EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CROSSCONTACT LX 20 TIRES, SIZE: P275/55/R20 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, ALL THE TIRES VIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRES WERE SLIPPING OFF THE RIMS AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

AT JUST OVER 12,000 MILES DRIVESHAFT SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AT LOW SPEED IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. FAILURE OCCURRED ON A WET ROAD UNDER MODERATE ACCELERATION AT AROUND 10-15 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V209000 (SEAT BELTS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2015 GMC SIERRA ARE DANGEROUS. THEY DO NOT PRODUCE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF LIGHT TO COVER THE DRIVING AREA. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE SIDES OF THE ROAD ARE NOT VISIBLE NOR ARE WHAT LIES AHEAD IF ANY CURVATURE IS INVOLVED. IT IS TO THE POINT WHERE I TRY TO AVOID DRIVING IT AT NIGHT. THE ONES WHO DO NOT COMPLAIN EITHER LIVE IN TOWN WHERE STREET LIGHTS ARE PRESENT TO ASSIST WITH LIGHTING OR THEY ARE NOT DRIVING AT NIGHT.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUS! LOW BEAMS WITH FOG LIGHTS ON ARE ADEQUATE FOR <45 MPH. ANYTHING FASTER AND YOU CAN'T SEE FAR ENOUGH AHEAD. FORGET USING THE HIGH BEAMS. ON DIMLY LIT HIGHWAYS, YOU CAN'T SEE IN FRONT ON THE VEHICLE. THE HIGH BEAMS DON'T ILLUMINATE THE ROAD SO IT'S SAFER TO USE THE LOW BEAMS AND HOPE THE 100FT VISIBILITY WILL ALLOW YOU TO SLOW SLIGHTLY BEFORE KILLING WHATEVER HUMAN/ANIMAL/OBSTACLE PRESENTS ITSELF. THIS TRUCK IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY WITHOUT A RETROFIT.

WHEN ACCELERATING ON AN INCLINE OR HILL OR TRYING TO PASS TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE THE TRUCK HESITATES OR STUTTERS. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN APPLYING LIGHT ACCELERATION. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS HAVING DIFFICULTY FINDING THE CORRECT GEAR. THIS IS APPARENT TO BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THE TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 13,000 MILES.

BOUGHT A NEW 2015 SIERRA IN JAN 2016,AFTER I BOUGHT IT I DROVE FROM NEW BRUNSWICK TO MANITOBA AND IT WAS THE SCARIEST NIGHT DRIVE I HAVE EVER HAD (OVER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE )THE LOW BEAMS WERE DIM AND HAD NO USEFUL LIGHT PATTERN, AND HIGH BEAM JUST LIT UP THE TOPS OF TREES AND SIGNS, DRIVING THROUGH ONTARIO'S TWISTY HWY.I ALMOST WENT OFF THE ROAD MANY TIMES ,DUE TO THE POOR LIGHTS YOU WILL CORNER WITH OUT BEING ABLE TO SEE TILL YOUR STRAIGHT AND THE LIGHT HITS THE ROAD AGAIN. WHEN I ARRIVED IN MANITOBA I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A DEALERSHIP ,WHERE THEY REPLACED MY BULBS ,FLASHED THE BCM AND A LINED THE LIGHTS THE LIGHT IS A LITTLE BETTER BUT STILL NOT SAFE AS THEY STILL DON'T PROJECT MUCH LIGHT PATTERN. I CAN'T SEE STREET SIGNS ONLY THE BOTTOM OF THE POLES. AND HIGHS STILL POINT TO THE SKY WITH NO MORE ROAD LIGHT. RETURNED TO NEW BRUNSWICK AND BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN,AND THE SUGGEST THE SAME FIX AS WHAT THE MANITOBA DEALER JUST DID. STILL CANNOT DRIVE SAFE AT NIGHT.

HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT I CAN'T SEE DOWN THE ROAD FAR ENOUGH TO SEE IF THERE WOULD BE ANYTHING IN THE ROAD. HAVE REPEATEDLY ASKED DEALER ABOUT THIS, AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THERE WAS NO PLAN TO FIX IT. ON RAINY NIGHTS IT'S AS IF I HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS AT ALL.
