2013 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

THERES ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS GOING ON, HAVING INTERIOR LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF, DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE BROKE FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, PASSENGER HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS TOO A MONTH, DRIVERS SIDE CONTROLS DON'T WANT TO WORK ALL THE TIME TO TRY TO ROLL UP AND DOWN THE WINDOWS, MOVE BOTH ELECTRICAL MIRRORS, UNLOCK THE DOORS.

I HAVEN'T HAD THE TRUCK FOR THAT LONG AND I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. SO THE FACT THAT MY DOOR HANDLES AND SIDING ARE FALLING OFF OF THE TRUCK JUST SHOWS THAT YOU USED VERY CHEAP PRODUCTS FOR A NON-CHEAP VEHICLE. GMC SHOULD BE ASHAMED. I'M THINKING ABOUT GOING WITH A FORD. DIDN'T SEE ANY BULLSHIT PROBLEMS LIKE THIS ON THEIR RECALL LIST

TAKATA RECALL..RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON 07/2016/ FROM GMC ABOUT DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. LETTER SAYS "NO NEED TO TAKE ACTION NOW. YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REMEDY YOUR VEHICLE." I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED BY GM..STILL WAITING, I NOW HAVE A COLLEGE STUDENT DRIVING THIS PICKUP AND WOULD LIKE SOME ATTENTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE PUSHING BACK THE DRIVER'S SEAT, THE BACK OF THE SEAT FELL. THE CONTACT LATER NOTICED A SHARP PIECE OF METAL IN THE BACK OF THE SEAT. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE LUMBAR SUPPORT IN THE SEAT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHNSON MOTOR COMPANY OF GEORGIA CADILLAC (1122 WALTON WAY, AUGUSTA, GA 30901), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH JOHNSON MOTOR COMPANY OF SOUTH CAROLINA (490 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, GRANITEVILLE, SC 29829) AND WAS ADVISED TO SPEAK TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I PARKED AT MY PLACE OF WORK, I PUT MY WINDSHIELD SHADE UP AS I DO EVERYDAY, AND WHEN I CAME OUTSIDE TO GO HOME I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE DASH ON THE UPPER LEFT DASH SECTION BY THE AIRBAG, I'M WORRIED IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY THE DASH COULD SPLINTER SENDING PIECES OF SHARP PLASTIC AT THE PASSENGERS.

MY COMPLAINT IS FOR THE CRACKED DASHBOARD JUST ABOVE THE FORWARD LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. THE DASH CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON; THERE IS NO KNOWN CAUSE. MY CONCERN IS BOTH COSMETIC AND SAFETY. NOT ONLY SHOULD A VEHICLE LESS THAN 5YRS OLD NOT HAVE A CRACKED DASHBOARD, BUT SINCE THE DASH IS CRACKED DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT, AND IS APPARENTLY PRONE TO CRACKING, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DASH TO SPLINTER AND PROJECT SMALL PIECES OF PLASTIC INTO THE BODY OF PASSENGERS IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO BE DEPLOYED.

LARGE CRACKS ARE FORMING ON THE DASHBOARD. ONE CRACK IS LOCATED NEAR THE SPEEDOMODER COLUMN AND THE OTHER DECENDS FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, HEARD A POP AND NOTICED THE DASH HAD CRACKED AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND STARTED MAKING A NOISE. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED, BUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE ONE CRACK HAS BECOME A CUT/SCRAPE HAZARD WHILE CLEANING. I ASSUME THAT IT WILL BECOME LARGER. POSSIBLY EXPOSING THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY TO DAMAGING HEAT AND SUN EXPOSURE.

I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE TO FIND THE HEATER CORE WAS BAD. TO REPLACE, THE DASHBOARD WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED. I ALREADY HAD A SMALL CRACK IN THE DASH LOCATED RIGHT ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. AFTER SERVICE WAS PERFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE DASHBOARD NOW HAS TWO MORE CRACKS IN IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I WILL HAVE TO PAY 40% AND THE CLOCK IN NOW TICKING. THE LONGER I WAIT, THE LESS GMC WILL PAY TO REPLACE. EVEN THOUGH THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT GMC IS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE DASH CRACKING, PEELING, ETC.

A CRACK HAS DEVELOPED ON THE RIGHT CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE DASH THAT BORDERS THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH AIRBAG. SEVERAL PEOPLE I WORK WITH HAVE DEVELOPED THE SAME PROBLEM IN THEIR GM TRUCKS AS WELL. IF THE BAG DEPLOYS MORE THAN LIKELY THE BAG WILL TEAR DUE TO THE SHARP CRACK EDGES AND BECAUSE OF THE FORCE SHARDS OF PLASTIC DASHBOARD WILL BE FLYING SHRAPNEL INSIDE THE CAB. I REFUSE TO HAVE MY CHILDREN SIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE LET ALONE AN ADULT. WHEN DO YOU PLAN ON MAKING THIS ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL? WHEN PIECES OF DASHBOARD AND AIRBAG BLINDS SOMEBODY?
