GMC Complaints

STEERING WHEEL HAS SLOP/PLAY IN IT. WHEEL HAS 3-4 INCHES OF PLAY BEFORE IT CATCHES. CAN DRIVE DOWN ROAD AND 1 MIN WHEEL IS TO THE LEFT NEXT ITS TO RIGHT TO KEEP TRUCK GOING STRAIGHT.

MY WIFE'S DASH ALL OF A SUDDEN CRACKED AND HAS JAGGED PIECES THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME A PROJECTILE CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF AN ACCIDENT WAS TO OCCUR. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS IS A ISSUE THAT IS OCCURRING IN ALL THE 2008-2014 MODELS; AND GM HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL.

REAR PASSENGER LIGHT IS NOT WORKING. THE BOARD IS CHEAPLY MADE AND DEALER WANTS ME TO BUY A NEW LIGHT FIXTURE FOR $800.

TAKARA RECALL WELL MY TRUCK JUST STOP CHANGING GEARS ON SUNDAY NITE 03/24/19 I WAS GETTING OFF ABOUT TO DRIVE OUT OF THE PARKING LOT WHEN I SAW THE RPM HAND GO UP BUT DIDNT COME BACK DOWN I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG THEN IT DIDN'T CHANGE AT ALL I DROVE 20 ALL WAY HOME WITH MY FLASHERS ON AND ALMOST GOT RAN OVER

BRAKE LIGHT IS NOT WORKING ON PASSENGER SIDE. WENT TO REPLACE BULB AND FOUND OUT THAT ONE HAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TAILLIGHT ENSEMBLE WHICH IS $700-800. IT IS SAD THAT SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO SAFETY LIKE A BRAKE LIGHT HAS TO COST THAT MUCH TO REPLACE. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS TENDS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. SO MUCH FOR LED LIGHTS--THIS IS ALSO POOR ENGINEERING!

IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY 401 NORTH ONTARIO CANADA, THE VEHICLE ERRATICALLY INCREASED SPEED AND BRAKES WERE NOIR EFFECTIVE, LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH CAUSED A MASSIVE ACCIDENT INVOLVING MULTIPLE CARS AND RESULTED IN MULTIPLE INJURIES. *DT

BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES EXTREMELY HARD TO DEPRESS. THE VEHICLE FAILS TO SLOW DOWN AT A REASONABLE RATE EVEN WHEN VERY SIGNIFICANT (FOOT) PRESSURE IS APPLIED. THIS OCCURRED MANY TIMES; THREE OCCURRENCES WHEN BACKING UP AND TWO OCCURRENCES WHEN DRIVING FORWARDS. ALL OF THESE EVENT OCCURRED AT VERY SLOW SPEED, BASICALLY WHEN MOVING THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING SPOT. ALL EVENTS WERE PRECEDED BY SLOW DRIVING (< 4 MPH) FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE. THE LOSS OF STOPPING POWER OCCURRED SUDDENLY; EVEN A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THERE APPEARED TO BE NO ISSUE. INITIALLY IT WAS IGNORED AS AN INDIVIDUAL OCCURRENCE, YET THE ADDITIONAL OCCURRENCES INDICATE AN ISSUE.

I HAVE CALLED TO GET APPOINTMENT FOR NEW AIR BAGS 2 YEARS AGO AND THEY KEEP PUTTING ME OFF , MY LOCAL GMC DEALER WILL NOT FIX MY AIR BAGS.

AT 44,972 MILES I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE LOSS OF BRAKING AT SLOW SPEEDS (10-15 MPH) ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE BRAKE PEDAL LOST ITS SPONGY FEEL AND FELT HARD AND DEAD. NO MATTER HOW MUCH PRESSURE I APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY TRUCK CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD. IT WAS A SCARY FEELING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I HAD MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN MY TRUCK THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. I HAD TO DEPRESS MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. I PULLED THE TRUCK OVER AND TURNED OFF AND ON THE IGNITION AND THE BRAKE PEDAL REGAINED ITS SPONGY, NORMAL PRESSURE AND FEEL. THE BRAKES FELT NORMAL FOR ABOUT A WEEK OR SO AND I FELT MAYBE IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT UNTIL THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN CITY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 5-10 MPH TRYING TO COME TO A STOP BEHIND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD. I BARELY HAD ENOUGH TIME TO DEPRESS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP AND CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AT VERY LOW SPEED, BUT NONETHELESS A COLLISION. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CHECKED OUT AND ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE VACUUM PUMP ASSEMBLY FOR $656.50, PARTS AND LABOR. I DEFINITELY FEEL THIS IS A VALID SAFETY ISSUE THAT DESERVES INVESTIGATING AND DOING EITHER A SAFETY NOTICE TO VEHICLE OWNERS THAT COULD BE EFFECTED OR A RECALL. HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THE POTENTIAL ISSUE I WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER ABLE TO DEAL WITH IT. IT REALLY SHOOK ME UP THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE TRUCK EVEN 10 FEET AFTERWARDS.

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON A STREET, I HEARD THE VEHICLE NOTIFICATION ALARM SOUND, I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASH AND HAD SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED:I HAD FOUR MESSAGES: SERVICE ESC SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE - 62 MPH TOP SPEED STEERING ASSIST REDUCED DRIVE WITH CARE LIGHTS ON DASH THAT WERE ILLUMINATED ABS CHECK ENGINE BRAKE TRACTION CONTROL BEFORE I COULD READ EACH WARNING LIGHT, A RED STOP LIGHT WAS APPROACHING. I WAS AT THAT TIME I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND REALIZED THAT MY BRAKES WERE EXTREMELY SPONGEY. I FIGURED I ONLY HAD ABOUT 10% BRAKING POWER. WITH MY TWO YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT, I PUSHED AS HARD AS I COULD TO STOP MY TRUCK. LUCKILY, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I WAS ABLE TO STOP MY TRUCK WITHOUT REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY TRUCK WAS THEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK 5 DAYS PRIOR. MY TRUCK HAS APPROXIMATELY 161 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE NEXT DAY I NEEDED A NEW MASTER CYLINDER AND HYDRO BOOST. PROBABLY THE ABSOLUTE WORSE COMPONENT TO FAIL ON THE DRIVER WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.
