2011 GMC SIERRA 2500 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL ISSUED MAY 27, 2016. WE HAVE CONTACTED GMC DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER. THEY KEEP SAYING THERE IS NO FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC SIERRA 2500. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND SUDDENLY FUNCTIONED AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP: MEDVED CHEVROLET BUICK GMC 1506 S WILCOX ST, CASTLE ROCK, CO 80104 WHERE THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,499.

MY 2011 GMC DURAMAX DISPLAYS CODES (P0676), (P2493), (P122D0 AND (P140A) RELATED TO THE EGR AND THROTTLE BODY. I LOCATED SPECIAL WARRANTY WORK #14353. I AM TOLD BY GM CUSTOMER CARE THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE DURAMAX DIESEL WARRANTY ISSUE. I LOCATED THE FOLLOWING: 02/03/17NHTSA ID: 10090458 TSB ID: 14353 14353 - SPECIAL COVERAGE. ON SOME VEHICLES, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE DUE TO AN INOPERATIVE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) COOLER BYPASS VALVE. DEALERS ARE TO REPLACE THE EGR COOLER BYPASS VALVE. WHERE DO I STAND IN GETTING GENERAL MOTORS TO HONOR THE WARRANTY?

MY VEHICLE IS UNDER A RECALL BUT WHEN WE CALLED THE GMC DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR THEY DENIED THAT THERE WAS REALLY A PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT GMC FELT LIKE THE AIRBAGS IN MY TRUCK WERE FINE AND I SHOULD IGNORE THE RECALL. I ASKED THEM FOR A REMEDY OR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE SINCE I WAS NOT GOING TO IGNORE THE RECALL. THEY LAUGHED AND TOLD ME A REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE YET AND THEY WERE NOT PROVIDING ME WITH AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE WHILE THEY WAITED FOR ONE TO BE SENT DOWN FROM CORPORATE. IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE THE RECALL AND I FEEL WE HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC SIERRA 2500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMAPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD FRACTURED IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT AS WELL AS NEAR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED JERRY'S BUICK GMC (3100 FORT WORTH HWY, WEATHERFORD, TX, 76087) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL REGARDING THE FRACTURED DASHBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THREE OE (3) GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES, LT265/60 R20 HAVE BECOME DEFECTIVE, ALL IN THE SAME FASHION WITH SIDEWALL PROBLEMS, TWO WITH BULGING, ONE WITH AN AT SPEED BLOWOUT AT THE SIDEWALL. FIRST ONE, 1/22/16 WHILE DRIVING BUT STOPPED DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ANOTHER MOTORIST POINTED OUT THE BULGE. INSTALLED SPARE, AT DESTINATION PURCHASED AT FULL PRICE 2 BRAND NEW TIRES IN ORDER TO HAVE MATCHING TREAD ON ALL TIRES. DEALER ALLEGED THERE MUST HAVE BEEN DAMAGE, SO THERE WAS NO WEAR ADJUSTMENT. SECOND ONE NOTED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY 2/15/17. CALLED GOODYEAR WHO REFERRED ME TO A LOCAL FACTORY STORE WHO PRO-RATED AN ADJUSTMENT AND I REC'D A NEW TIRE. THIRD ONE BLEW OUT AT TURNPIKE SPEED 8/16/17. NONE OF THESE TIRES WERE ANYWHERE NEAR THE END OF TREAD LIFE AT THE TIME OF THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN "OFF-ROAD" AND I DO NOT DRIVE AROUND HITTING OBJECTS WITH THE TIRES. I DO NOT WANT TO TURN OVER THE LATEST DEFECTIVE TIRE TO A DEALER UNTIL I HEAR FROM YOU IF AN INVESTIGATION IS IN ORDER; IT IS "EVIDENCE". I DID TAKE PHOTOS OF THE FIRST TWO TIRES AND WILL DO THE SAME WITH THE MOST RECENT ONE. THANK YOU.

TAKATA INFLATOR- ELECTRIC CONNECTOR HAS FAILED. THIS HAS LEFT THE TRUCK WITH A FAILED PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG.

TAKATA RECALL. I STILL HAVE NOT HAD MY AIRBAG REPLACED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY GMC SIERRA AND IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR. WHAT CAN I DO TO EXPEDITE THIS? NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO GET THIS RECTIFIED. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE A LETTER FROM GM. CONCERNING THE AIR BAG RECALL DATED 07/2016 INFORMING ME OF SAID RECALL AND STATING THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR REPAIRS. THAT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AGO AND NOW I HAVE A CRACK IN THE CORNER OF THE DASH PANEL WHERE THE AIR-BAG IS LOCATED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT GM. HAS ISSUES WITH GM TRUCKS, SUV'S ETC. FROM YEAR 2007 UNTIL AT LEAST 2013 CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM. DEALERS AND GM THEIR SELF CONCERNING REPAIRS AND OR REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAGS AND STATED MY CONCERNS WITH THE DASH BEING CRACKED IN THIS LOCATION. THESE AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED TO KILL OR INJURE PEOPLE AND AS A CONCERNED OWNER OF ONE OF THESE VEHICLES I FEEL GM. IS NOT MOVING FAST ENOUGH TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF THESE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL ON THE ROAD EVERY DAY AND THAT LEADS TO GREATER RISK OF DEATH OR INJURY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GET RID OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS BY THE MANUFACTURER. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER.

CRACKED PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD ABOVE AIRBAG. NOTHING WAS DONE BY OWNER TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. IT IS A KNOWN GM PROBLEM THEY REFUSE TO RECALL.
