2015 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

REAR SEAT HEADRESTS TOO LOW TO BE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE IN CRASH. THEY ARE BOTH TOO SMALL AND TO NOT STAY LOCKED IN THE FAR UP POSITION. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ISSUE TO BE REVIEWED. AT THIS TIME DEALERSHIP CLAIMS HEADREST FUNCTION IS NORMAL.

HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION EXTREMELY POOR. EVEN AFTER TSB BULB REPLACEMENT WAS COMPLETED ON VEHICLE, LOW AND HIGH BEAM ILLUMINATION IS UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS FOR THE DRIVER SEAT FAILED AND ALLOWED THE SEAT TO MOVE FORWARD. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE CONTACT TO BECOME WEDGED BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE SEAT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,200.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 2 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL FRACTURED FROM THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE POST AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED LEFT HAND INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AWAY FROM THE CRASH SCENE TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONNECTION POINT AT STEERING WHEEL COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

CAN'T SEE AT NITE AND WORSE DURING RAIN. IT'S LIKE A 5 CELL FLASH LITE SET ON THE SMALL NARROW SETTING STEAD OF THE FLOOD SETTING. ALSO CAN'T SEE WILD LIFE THAT ARE STANDING NEAR THE WHITE LINE OF THE SHOULDERS AT NITE. TUNNEL VISION LIGHT. VERY DANGEROUS, PLEASE FIND A CURE. ALREADY HAD GMC'S UPGRADED BULBS.

I HAVE DRIVEN MANY VEHICLES IN MY LIFETIME AND THESE ARE THE WORST HEADLIGHTS I HAVE EXPERIENCED. A VERY SHORT CUTOFF AND WORST OF ALL, NO SIDE ILLUMINATION. I AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT AND GOD HELP YOU IF IT IS NIGHT AND RAINING.

DESIGN FLAW IN CABIN AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM LEADING TO HEALTH HAZARD WITHIN THE VEHICLE. ON TWO OCCASIONS IN MY FIRST 16 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, MICE HAVE ENTERED THE COWL AIR PLENUM AREA AND BUILT NESTS ON TOP OF AND OUT OF THE CABIN AIR FILTER MATERIAL. BOTH TIMES THE FILTER HAS BECOME SATURATED WITH MOUSE DANDER, FECES AND OTHER MATERIALS. EVENTUALLY THESE CONTAMINANTS WORK THEIR WAY THROUGH THE FILTER AND AN ODOR IS NOTICED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE MICE ARE BELIEVED TO ENTER THIS AREA THROUGH SIGNIFICANT UNSCREENED OPENINGS AT THE ENDS OF A PLASTIC COVER OVER THE PLENUM IN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER AREA UNDER THE HOOD. I HAVE CONTACTED GM WITH REGARD TO THIS DESIGN FLAW. THEIR ONLY RESPONSE WAS TO ESTABLISH THEIR CASE NUMBER 711507394608. NO FURTHER ACTION WAS TAKEN. SO FAR, MY DEALER HAS CONTINUED TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE AND INSTALL NEW CABIN FILTERS. NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO BLOCK OR SCREEN THE OPENINGS. THE TRUCK IS REGULARLY GARAGED WITH TWO OTHER NON-GM VEHICLES THAT DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. INDIVIDUALS WITH RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANT PLENUM DESIGN FLAW IN THESE GM TRUCKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A GEAR CYLINDER FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,000.

HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE UNACCEPTABLE YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING PAST 100 FEET AT 35 MPH ON A DARK STREET. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SIERRA.

ISSUE: HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIGHT FOR NIGHT DRIVING. UNLESS DRIVING IN A WELL LIT NEIGHBORHOOD, THESE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE SAFE LIGHTING FOR DRIVING. I CAN NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THE WARRANTY ONLY PROVIDED DIFFERENT LIGHT BULBS WHICH ARE NO BETTER. THESE HEADLIGHTS NEED RECALLED IMMEDIATELY!
