    - WATERFORD, MI

    WHEN DRIVING HOME AFTER PICKING UP MY 2.5-YEAR-OLD AND 6-MONTH-OLD THE BREAKS FELT VERY ODD AND NOT RIGHT. WHEN I APPLIED THEM, IT FELT ROUGH TO APPLY AND THEN HEARD A NASTY SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OFF TRUCK. I TOOK MY TRUCK IMMEDIATELY TOO THE DEALER AND JUST GOT THE PHONE CALL BACK THAT THE MASTER CYCLINDER FOR MY BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAS 22,500 MILES ON IT AND IT ALREADY NEEDS SOMETHING FIXED LIKE THIS IS PRETTY SCARY SINCE MY FRIEND JUST HAD IT HAPPEN TO THEM AND THEY GOT IN A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT. THANK GOD I DIDNT HAVE TO PUT MY FAMILY THROUGH THAT. HAVING A BREAK FAILURE IS SOMETHING NOONE WANTS AND NOT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PRETTY MUCH BRAND NEW STILL. THE DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS A VERY RARE CODE IN TERMS THEY USED TO BE HAPPENING. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT OR ANYTHING IT JUST HAPPENED THEN AS I WAS TAKING IT UP TO THE DEALER, I GOT THE SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM ALERT ON MY DASH.

  • 2023 GMC SIERRA 1500
    - Groton, CT

    This vehicle has a remote tail gate drop function in the center console. The button is extremely easy to accidentally activate and will activate at any time including when in gear. This creates a significant safety risk as the tailgate can accidentally open while driving at high speeds and cause any load or objects in the bed to fall out and become dangerous projectiles and/or significant roadway hazards. In addition there is no warning message to indicate that the tailgate has opened, creating further safety concerns that the vehicle operator would not realize that the tailgate has opened until they start to lose the contents of the bed. There is no vehicle setting that will disable this function, creating a situation where it is impossible for the operator to ever safely secure objects in the bed.

  • 2014 GMC TERRAIN
    - Highland, IL

    Vehicle shut down and turned off while being operated. No warning lights were on at any point before the incident. I was driving down the road and without warning, it just turned off. My safety as well as the safety of the drivers on the road around me were compromised by this sudden failure as the vehicle was in motion when the incident occurred and I was unable to properly operate the vehicle. When I tried to re-start the vehicle the engine would not turn over and several warning lights were suddenly on. Vehicle was towed to dealership and the service department said the timing chain jumped and the engine needs to be replaced. Multiple complaints have been made against GM for the faulty 2.4L Ecoboost Engine that causes excessive oil consumption with no appropriate monitoring or warning system in place leading to timing chain issues/failure that destroys the engine without warning, often while the vehicle is being operated. No recall has been made and no warning is given to customers who purchase vehicles with these engines. I have owned this vehicle less than a year and the repair invoice I was given quotes over $10,000.
