2021 GMC SIERRA 2500 Complaints

Hit in the driver side tire, air bags didn’t release. Truck then went up in flames.

LT245/75R17 I bought these tires on Walmart. com June 2021 and had Walmart install with road hazard and lifetime balance, I returned to Walmart in April 2022 and was told I had a defective tire, that it was coming apart, I can see the fibers around the issue area and soft spongy for approximately 14 inches sounds like glue not sticking when I push around the bead area, Walmart told me it was a manufacturer defective tire and they included that on the work order and also told me to take tire and contact manufacturer which I did, I have spoken and also emailed with a Michael Dorr with Unicorn Tire. without any positive results only denied a claim. this tire needs to be Inspected and I want a new one, this for sure is defective.

Brake pads have excessive squealing. Squealing implies incorrect pressure to rotor to stop the vehicle, which highly concerns me as an operator. According to the dealer where I reported the issue, there is a technical bulletin that approves replacement of the brake pads for free if reported in first 7500 miles. My truck exceeded that mileage when I noticed the squealing. If this was a recall for the defective brakes, the dealer would cover the costs to repair, but not for a technical bulletin according to the service department, and confirmed by GMC. I now have to pay $1500 to replace brakes on a new truck with 15000 miles on it, or risk my safety. I believe this should be a recall and appreciate any assistance in this matter.
