THE BRAKES AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED (1-10 MPH) PARTIALLY GIVES OUT WHICH PROLONGS THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE ABS KICKS IN BUT FOR NO REASON. MUST STRONGLY PUSH DOWN ON THE PEDAL TO GET VEHICLE TO STOP, WHICH STILL REQUIRES ADDITIONAL STOPPING DISTANCE. HAS OCCURRED SPORADICALLY FROM MID-2018 TO MARCH 2019. NO RESOLUTION THROUGH DEALERSHIP.

ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND FRONT LEFT OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. IF AIRBAG GOES OFF SHARDS ARE GOING TO FLY AT FACES. SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED AND IS NOT AESTHETICALLY PLEASING MAKING A FINE GM VEHICLE LOOK SLOPPY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. THE CONTACT HAD TO AGGRESSIVELY MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO AVOID A CRASH. OURISMAN CHEVROLET OF ROCKVILLE (807 ROCKVILLE PIKE, ROCKVILLE, MD 20852, (301) 637-6496) HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. FITZGERALD BUICK GMC ROCKVILLE (5501 NICHOLSON LN, ROCKVILLE, MD 20852, (301) 770-3300) DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM WAS FAULTY AND REPLACED THE PART UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AC CONDENSER LEAKING AT 72000 MILES, SO OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. SHOULD BE COVERED REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE IN SPECIAL PROGRAM 17336. BOUGHT THIS CERTIFIED FROM DEALER IN 2017. AC JUST STOPPED COOLING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, JUST BLOWS WARM AIR. IMPACTS DEFROSTING.

"EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION" AFTER HAVING THE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS PERFORMED ON MY TRUCK IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MY VEHICLE NEEDED THE RINGS AND PISTONS REPLACED, THEREFORE, ON JANUARY 18TH, 2016 MY TRUCK WENT INTO ROGERS CHEVROLET (NOW KNOWN AS MICHAEL BATES) TO HAVE THIS DONE, UNDER THE SPECIAL WARRANTY KNOWN AS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I RECEIVED MY TRUCK BACK ON JANUARY 25TH, 2016 AFTER BEING TOLD IT WAS FIXED. ONCE MY FREE OIL CHANGES WERE UP IN MARCH OF 2016, I EITHER TOOK MY TRUCK FOR OIL CHANGES OR MY UNCLE, GRANDFATHER OR MYSELF CONDUCTED THE OIL CHANGES (YOU WILL SEE THE RECEIPTS ON THIS). AFTER SOME TIME I STARTED TO USE OIL AGAIN, MORE THAN NORMAL. WHEN I INQUIRED WITH ROGERS CHEVROLET I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK SHOULD BE FINE BECAUSE THEY ALREADY REPLACED THE PISTONS AND RINGS AND THAT MY ENGINE IS JUST GOING TO BURN OIL BECAUSE THE WAY GM BUILT THE MOTOR AND TO KEEP EXTRA OIL ON HAND. WELL ON 01/30/2019 I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING AROUND 75MPH WHEN MY ENGINE FAILED. I ALMOST WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE 3 LANE HIGHWAY! I WAS ADVISED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A NEARBY DEALER IN WHICH I DID. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PISTONS BLEW THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE MOTOR, AND THEN I WAS ADVISED TO PROVIDE RECEIPTS IN WHICH I DID, AND NOW I AM BEING TOLD THE SPECIAL WARRANTY IS EXPIRED IN WHICH IT IS NOT I AM ONLY AT 109,000 MILES AND IT WAS LAST SERVICED FOR THIS SPECIAL WARRANTY IN 2016, THEREFORE, IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNTIL THE 120,000 MILES LIKE INDICATED ON THE WARRANTY BULLETIN. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FATALITIES ARE GOING TO HAPPEN IF THIS DOESN'T GET ADDRESSED AND FIXED PROPERLY. THE MAINTENANCE ON MY TRUCK IS EXCELLENT, I TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF IT, AND I HAVE THE RECEIPTS TO PROVE IT, HOWEVER, I DID SOME RESEARCH AFTER THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THE BLOCK/HEADS IN THE MOTOR FOR IT TO DO THIS AND GM HAS TO KNOW THIS!

FAULTY, POORLY MADE TAIL LIGHTS THAT NEED TO BE ENTIRELY REPLACED (NOT JUST THE BULB) AT MORE THAN $700 EACH. WHEN SPENDING SO MUCH ON A CAR, THIS IS LITERALLY INSANE NOT TO BE COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. GMC DRIVERS DESERVE MORE THAN THIS POORLY MADE LED LIGHT SYSTEM. THE PLASTIC WINDOW TRIM PIECES ALSO DETACH DUE TO CHEAP PLASTIC CLIPS. I'VE HAD TO LITERALLY USE DOUBLE SIDED TAPE AND GLUE TO STICK THEM BACK ON A $70K+ CAR. IT'S HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE PIECES THAT ARE LITERALLY PART OF THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED DESPITE BEING WELL CARED FOR.GMC WANTS $1500 TO REPLACE! A CRACKED DASHBOARD, PARTICULARLY ONE THAT IS DAMAGED AROUND THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG, CAN YIELD FLYING PROJECTILES IN THE EVENT THAT AN ACCIDENT TRIGGERS THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY.

I LOST BRAKES. EXTREME PRESSURE ON PEDDLE REQUIRED FOR BRAKES TO ENGAGE. EVEN THEN ONLY REDUCED BRAKING POWER WAS AVAILABLE. REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF VACUUM PUMP AND BOOSTER. OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE ENGINE WAS AT IDLE. OTHERWISE BRAKES FELT WEEK BUT AVAILABLE.
