GMC Complaints

THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TAILLIGHT DOES NOT WORK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM THEY SAW FREQUENTLY, TO JUST HIT THE LIGHT AND IT MIGHT START WORKING. OTHERWISE IT WAS A 800 DOLLAR LIGHT TO REPLACE....IF IT IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM GMC SHOULD BE FIXING IT... ARE THEY GOING TO PAY FOR A TICKET IF I GET PULLED OVER OR WORSE SOMEONE CRASHES INTO ME? THE PROBLEM COMES AND GOES BUT HAS SEEMED TO GET WORSE AND IS NOT SAFE OR LEGAL TO DRIVE WITH THE LIGHT HOW IT IS. BAD DESIGN OF THE LIGHT. AND FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. THERE A WHOLE FORUMS THAT PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM GM IN 2016. I KEEP CONTACTING MY GMC DEALER AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY. WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR GETTING MY TRUCK FIXED FOR THIS RECALL?

P0017 AND P0008 ERROR CODES: MY WIFE LOVES HER ACADIA! DEALERSHIP HAS DONE RECALLS, REPLACED RACK AND PINION AND PS PUMP. I AM CLOSE TO POSITIVE THAT ECM HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO SHORTEN OIL CHANGE, TO NOT DEFINE A CHAIN POTENTIAL FAILURE THAT SENDS AN ERROR CODE, AND UPDATE SOFTWARE TO ALLOW FOR MORE "SLOP" IN CLEARANCE SPECS SO THAT CHAIN ISSUES ARE CONCEALED UNTIL A CRITICAL FAILURE OF EQUIPMENT. AT 121K I DROPPED CRADLE DOWN TO REPAIR/REPLACE WAVE PLATE. PLATE WAS GOOD AS NEW. MUST HAVE GOTTEN A "GOOD" PLATE. NOW AT ABOUT 140K I HAVE THE P0017 AND P0008 CODES. ENGINE NOT RESPONDING ACCELERATOR WISE AS BEFORE. I AM GOING BACK TO DEALER AND ASK TO SEE SERVICE RECORD OF WHAT WAS DONE TO ENGINE. I KNOW I WILL JUST BE WASTING MY TIME. TO COVER UP A PROBLEM BY MESSING WITH PARAMETERS ON AN ENGINE TO FOOL A CUSTOMER IS CLOSE TO BEING DISHONEST, AND THAT IS WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE CHAINS. IF ALL ELSE FAILS AT THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SEND ME AWAY, I WILL PARK THE ACADIA IN THE GARAGE AND DO MY BEST TO REPLACE THE CHAINS AND GEARS WITH THE ENGINE IN VEHICLE. I HAVE NO WAY TO DROP THE ENGINE OUT. I CAN'T AFFORD $4000 FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO DO IT. GM, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A LOYAL FAN ON YOUR VEHICLES, AND HAVE ONLY OWNED CHEVY'S AND GMC'S SINCE 1965, NEVER OWNED ANY OTHER BRAND, EXCEPT A 1947 JEEP UNIVERSAL THAT I PUT A SMALL BLOCK IN, BUT THIS ACADIA TRANSMISSION/ENGINE ISSUE MIGHT JUST TEST OUR RELATIONSHIP IN THE FUTURE. WHAT I HAVE READ ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THESE CODES ARE POPPING UP ALL OVER THE PLACE, AND GM IS NOT CARING, EVEN THO THEY NOW HAVE A 10 YR/120,000 COVERAGE. I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT THIS ISSUE WILL NEVER BE RESOLVED IN FAVOR OF THE CUSTOMER. DESIGN PROBLEM AND POOR BACK VALVE COVER VENTING. GM, YOU CAN DO THE RIGHT THING HERE.

I OWN A 2010 GMC TERRAIN, I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIMING BELT MID 2016 WHICH COST AROUND $2000 , NOW LESS THAN 3 YEARS LATER I'M TOLD IT NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN, ANOTHER $2400 THIS TIME. MY VEHICLE IS BARLEY OVER 100,000 MILES. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. OF COURSE THE FIRST TIME MY WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED AND THE REPLACEMENTS WARRANTY IS 12 MONTHS/12,000 MILES. SO OF COURSE NOT COVERED AGAIN. I WOULD THINK THAT GMC WOULD WANT TO ADDRESS THIS AS AN ISSUE. ALMOST 4000 IN REPAIRS AND VEHICLE LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND APPARENTLY 108,000 MILES. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND FEEL GMC SHOULD HELP COVER THE REPAIRS OR DO A RECALL AND COVER IT. I WON'T BY ANOTHER GMC.

STEERING ASSISTANCE STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING COULDN'T TURN ALMOST CRASHED LIGHT CAME ON AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON IT

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM A DEALER. I WAS TOLD THAT GM DID NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. THESE AIRBAGS ARE KNOWN TO CAUSE HARM AND OR DEATH. I WANT IT TAKEN CARE OF.

I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE THAT ONE OR BOTH OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS HAS NOT BEEN WORKING. I HAVE TESTED THEM MYSELF AND I TOO GET MIXED RESULTS. SOMETIMES ONE WORKS AND OTHER TIMES NEITHER. BEING THAT I DRIVE 30 MINUTES TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN.

THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES EXTREMELY STIFF WHEN TRYING TO STOP AT SLOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY IN PARKING LOTS. THE VEHICLE BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP ALMOST CAUSING CRASHES. GM DEALERSHIP REPEATEDLY TESTS VEHICLE AND TRIES TO CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND I'M MAKING A MISTAKE. HAD TO TAKE VEHICLE IN SEVERAL TIMES AND EVENTUALLY THEY FOUND A FAILED VACUUM PUMP. THEY TRIED TO MAKE ME PAY $700+ FOR THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH ITS A KNOWN ISSUE. THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID DOING A RECALL AND PUTTING THEIR BOTTOM LINE AHEAD OF SAFETY. THESE TRUCKS ARE DANGEROUS.

BRAKES ARE UNRESPONSIVE AND STUFF BRAKE PEDALS AT LOW SPEEDS. WHILE DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKES WILL NOT ENGAGE AND STOP THE VEHICLE. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING STOP AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND UNLESS I STOMPED ON THEM GOING LESS THAN 5MPH. IT HAPPENS OFTEN WITH THE SAME SCENARIO. DRIVING AT A VERY LOW RATE OF SPEED AND MY VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED.

ON APRIL 2, 2019 I PARKED BREFILY FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. UPON RE-ENTERING MY 2019 GMC SIERRA TRUCK WITH APPROXIMATELY 4500 MILES AND STARTING THE ENGINE I IMMEDIATELY RECEIVED MULTIPLE WARNING MESSAGES ON MY DASH PANEL. THEY WERE "SERVICE ESC" "SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE", "BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE" "STEERING ASSIST REDUCED" AND TO DRIVE NO FASTER THAN 62 MPH. PREVIOUSLY PRIOR TO PARKING I HAD NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. I WAS IN A LOCATION WHERE I NEEDED TO GO SO I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE BUT FOUND QUICKLY THAT THE BRAKE PEDEL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH VERY LIMITED OR BASICALLY NO BRAKING. THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT WITH NO APPARENT POWER ASSIST. I DROVE IT APPROXIMATELY TWO MILES AND GOT TO A LOCATION WHERE I COULD PARK. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. I TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THEN HEARD AN AUTOMATED COUPLE OF CLUNK SOUNDS FROM THE FRONT.. I STARTED IT UP AND EVERYTHING WAS OKAY EXCEPT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND STAYED ON THE REST OF EVENING. THE NEXT MORNING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON HOWEVER ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES LATER I NOTICED IT WAS OFF AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN FINE SINCE. I HAD PLANNED TO TAKE IT TO THE GMC DEALER HOWEVER WITH NO PROBLEM SHOWING NOW AND FROM PAST EXPERIENCE WITH THE DEALERSHIPS I DECIDED THERE WAS NO NEED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL THE SYMPTOMS COME BACK. I FOUND ON THE INTERNET LATER THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS INSTANCES WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER 2019 GMC SIERRA OWNERS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A EXTREMELY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEAR TOTAL BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE!
