    - Amarillo, TX

    Received a safety recall and called Greg Lair GMC to schedule repair. Service guy told me the part is backorder. Called first of June and dealer still says part backorder. Letter said the parts were available. Is the dealership just not wanting to comply with this recall?

    2017 GMC Sierra almost hit a parked car in the store parking lot. Pedal was hard push down . Also when moving truck around in my yard at times the pedal is hard other times sounds like there is Air in the lines. Truck has all new Brakes and Rotors all the way around. I pull a Camper and Side x Side at times so this is scary.

  • 2017 GMC SIERRA 1500
    - Deerbrook, WI

    My 2017 GMC Sierra Brakes started acting up a slow speed it would seem like there were no Brakes or Pedal would push very hard. I pulled into a parking space at the store and it was like I had no Brakes had to push pedal very hard and Thank god there wasn’t a car in front of me because I would have hit it. The truck has new front and back Brakes and Rotors put. The truck was throwing some codes and 3 out of the 4 codes pointed to faulty Vacume pump. I pull a camper and sometimes a side x side so this is very concerning and I hoping to get this expense covered by Recall like all the other Models with the same issues. I really don’t know why my truck isn’t being Recalled. This has been a good truck for me no complaints tell this.

    I bought a 2013 gmc Acadia with a 3.6l engine and I was driving it home, and the engine locked up on me, and it didn’t throw a code or anything, it just shut off and wouldn’t start back up, and later I find out that it had an oil leak from somewhere and now I have to have the engine replaced, which is 13k dollars, the vehicle is located at walker Chevrolet in nitro wv, I’m a single dad of 5 children and I can’t afford to fix this vehicle at that price, I asked if they could take payments to replace it, and they said not and that they would NOT Release the vehicle back to me until it is paid for, and now I’m stranded with 5 children with no way to go to the store or anything. The engine locked up on me in the middle of the four lane in st albans wv, and I almost got hit by vehicles that were behind me and everything.
