2014 GMC SIERRA 2500 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 2500. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, INCLUDING THE STABILITRAC WARNING INDICATOR. ALSO WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. FURTHERMORE, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF MOMENTARILY AND RESTARTED. KEY BUICK GMC (4660 SOUTHSIDE BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32216) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

DASH IS FULLY CRACKED AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IN ADDITION, A CRACK FORMED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTINUED TO SPREAD.

DASHBOARD UNDER FRONT WINDSHIELD PRONE TO CRACKING. INITIALLY THIS WOULD SOUND LIKE IT IS ONLY A COSMETIC ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT TYPICALLY THE FIRST CRACK OCCURS AT THE FRONT/LEFT CORNER OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG PANEL. AS THE VEHICLE AGES UNDER TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATION AND UV EXPOSURE THE INITIAL CRACK WIDENS AND MORE DEVELOP. ALSO, FROM PICTURES TAKEN OF A 2007 GMC YUKON AND 2007 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT COVER APPEAR TO BE SHIFTING AND LIFTING AS THE CRACKING CONTINUES. THE DEGRADED PLASTIC SURROUNDING THE AIRBAG COVER COULD BE A SHRAPNEL HAZARD TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS IN SUCH CLOSE PROXIMITY TO AN EXPLOSIVE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS COULD ALSO DIMINISH THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE AIRBAG IF IT IS PUNCTURED. CLEARLY THE MATERIAL AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PART WERE NOT MADE TO WITHSTAND THE RIGORS OF THE INSTALLED ENVIRONMENT SO MERELY REPLACING A CRACKED PART WITH THE SAME NEW PART WILL, AT BEST, ONLY BE A TEMPORARY FIX. GM NEEDS TO DESIGN THIS PART PROPERLY SO THAT WILL MAINTAIN IT'S INTEGRITY AS A SURROUND OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COMPARTMENT.

DASH HAS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COVER. IF IT GOES OFF IT COULD SPLINTER AND CAUSE HARM.

MY FUEL PUMP AND INJECTORS FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, STRANDING MY TRUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC RIGHT WHERE A CITY STREET WAS CHANGING TO A COUNTRY ROAD. THE GMC DEALERSHIP FALSELY CLAIMED THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY USING UNAPPROVED FUEL. THE FUEL I USED WAS B20 BIODIESEL, WITH 80% RENEWABLE DIESEL, WHICH MEETS DIESEL SPECIFICATIONS AND IS A LEGAL ROAD FUEL IN CALIFORNIA. THEY ALSO CLAIMED THAT A CASCADE OF OTHER PROBLEMS WERE ALL CAUSED BY MY FUEL AND REFUSED TO APPLY MY WARRANTY.

CRACK IN DASH AT LOCATION AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG. CONCERN IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS, IT WILL BE CUT OR DESTROYED BY THE DASH'S SHARP EDGES.
