GMC Complaints

BRAKE ASSIST FAILED WITH OUT WARNING, BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD, DID FIRST TIME AT SLOW SPEED IN REVERSE, EXTREME DIFFICULTY IN STOPPING. LUCKILY WAS NOTHING BEHIND ME IN PARKING LOT. FOUND OUT COMMON PROBLEM WITH VACUUM PUMP FAILURE IN THIS YEAR WITH AVERAGE MILEAGE AROUND 80,000, I HAVE 86,900 MILES. PROBLEM GOT CONTINUED AFTER LEAVING PARKING LOT WHEN DOING 30 MPH TRIED TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT, HAD TO PUSH PEDAL WITH EXTREME FORCE TO TRY AND STOP TRUCK, AGAIN FORTUNATELY NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME, SO THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT

THERE IS A FLAW IN THE LED STRIP OF THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS. THE LED STRIP BREAKS OVER TIME DISABLING THE TAIL LIGHTS. THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS SEALED AND MUST EITHER BE REPLACED OR BROKEN INTO SO A JUMPER CAN BE SOLDERED ACROSS THE BREAK TO REPAIR THE TAIL LIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC ACADIA EQUIPPED WITH FOUR GOODYEAR FORTERA HL TIRES, SIZE: P255/65R18. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TIRES WERE DRY ROTTING TO THE TREAD. ALL FOUR TIRES FAILED A TIRE INSPECTION. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRES HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A GOODYEAR AUTHORIZED TIRE FACILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V044000 (TIRES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN.

SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ON THE DASH. I'VE HAD MY CAR RIGHT AT A YEAR WHEN THE WARNING CAME UP ON THE DASH. UPON RESEARCHING I'VE NOTICED SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS CLOSE AS TWO DAYS AGO.. MY CAR HAS A LITTLE OVER 77,000 MILES ON IT.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SLOW DRIVING IN PARKING LOTS I HAVE LOST POWER ASSIST BRAKING AND ALMOST HIT A CAR PARKED IN THE SPOT IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE READ ONLINE ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP AND AM THINKING THAT IS MY ISSUE. MY BRAKE PEDAL AFTER A FEW PUMPS WILL GET SUPER STIFF. ON EVERY OCCASION THAT THIS HAPPENED IT WAS SLOW MOVING ADJUSTING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND HAD PUMPED THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES. THE PEDAL THEN BECOMES STILL AND PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT GET THE BRAKING POWER AS EXPECTED.

ON MARCH 22, 2019, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON RTE. 130, AGAIN IN THE FAST LANE, I HEAR THAT FAMOUS BEEP AGAIN, BUT KNEW I DID NOT REQUIRE GAS. MY VEHICLE READ TO SERVICE STABLE TRACK ONCE AGAIN AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF. MY TRUCK DROPPED DOWN TO BASICALLY NO POWER IN THE FAST LANE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THANK GOD I SAID MY PRAYERS THAT DAY, AND THREE CARS THAT ALMOST PLOWED INTO THE BACK OF MY TRUCK AND ANY ACCIDENTS WERE AVOIDED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS, ONCE AGAIN, AND MAKE MY WAY OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO GET MY TRUCK INTO A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR, BUT MY TRUCK WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR'. NOWHERE!! I WAS SCARED BUT RELIEVED BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. I COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT, OR EVEN BEEN HURT. I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP T&T COAST IN SEA GIRT, AND EXPRESSED TO THEM MY PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM I JUST HAD THIS STABLE TRACK/SENSOR REPLACED JUST A YEAR AGO, I SHOULD NOT BE FACING THE SAME ISSUE. THEY MADE FALSE PROMISES, PROMISED TO GET ME INTO A MORE RELIABLE VEHICLE, BUT IT DID NOT WORK OUT DUE TO MY CURRENT CREDIT ISSUES. I ASK IF THEY COULD NOT GET ME INTO A MORE RELIABLE TRUCK, COULD THEY AT LEAST FIX THE ISSUE THAT I THOUGHT WAS JUST REPAIRED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY TOLD ME NO, IT WAS MY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE HIGH MILEAGE ON THE CAR. I HAVE LEARNED THAT A STABLE TRACK/SENSOR OR TRACTION CONTROL IS SUPPOSED TO LAST THE LIFE SPAN OF YOUR VEHICLE. IT SHOULD NOT GO DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR OR HIGH MILEAGE. I ALSO DID ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATION ON MY END, AND LEARNED THAT GMC HAS BEEN HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS, ALONG WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES.

MY DENALI HAS A BAD CRACK ON THE DASH BOARD AND I HIT A BUMP A PIECE OF THE PLASTIC FLEW AND CUT MY FACE , THE DASH IS GETTING WORSE AND THIS IS BECOMING A LIABILITY. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY ATTORNEY AND THE BBB, ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. I'M GLAD IT WAS ME AND NOT MY CHILDREN THAT GOT INJURED.

INTERMITTENT BRAKE LIGHT ACTIVATION ON BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT. IT HAPPENS STOPPED AND IN MOTION. VERY DANGEROUS! IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH BROKEN CONTACTS INSIDE A SEALED HOUSING. THE ISSUE IS POSTED ALL OVER THE FORUMS BUT GMC REFUSES RESPONSIBILIY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN AFTER BEING REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V586000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BRUCE LOWRIE CHEVROLET (817-264-7776, LOCATED AT 711 SW LOOP 820, FORT WORTH, TX 76134) WHERE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE TECHNICIAN RE-FLASHED THE COMPUTER AND STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000.

I WAS TAKING A CORNER TO GO UP TO MY ROAD AND THEN MY POWER STEERING CHIME WENT OFF POSTING POWER STEERING HAS FAILED, THEN A MESSAGE SAYING THE STABILITY CONTROL ISN'T FUNCTIONAL. I DROVE INTO A SMALL DITCH BECAUSE I COULDN'T TURN MY WHEEL. I WAS AT A SLOW SPEED. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK, AND THE WARNING WENT AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DEALERS AND THE FINAL DEALER SAID I COULDN'T DRIVE THE TRUCK UNTIL I REPLACE THE RACK & PINION ASSY. HE HAS SAID THIS SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL. MY TRUCK WAS BUILT DEC 05, 2014 AND INSPECTED ON JAN 01, 2015. THIS JUST COSTED ME $1700.00.
