I purchased a 2008 gmc sierra pickup in 2012 from george gee automotive in liberty lake wa. I experienced the first air bag service light shortly after the purchase. I informed the dealer george gee about this and was completely ignored. I then took the vehicle to parkway automotive in deer park wa.. Parkway never really figured out why the air bags had the error but after trying a few things the error light went off and stayed off until march 26th 2014 when it came back on. At first it was on occasionally for a few days. Now it is on steady all of the time. I took the vehicle back to parkway today 03/31/2014 and was told it is a module issue and my air bags are disabled because of it. Parkway is not a gm dealer they are not able to repair it. I have read multiple complaints about this same air bag issue in gm products and feel this is a very serious safety issue that gm should be responsible for fixing.

"takata recall"recall 49152. I have been in contact , several times, w/ gmc about the recall since receiving the letter in early 2016. Whereas we have yet to experience any issues with the truck, it is approaching 10 years old and we are afraid it is only a matter of time. We dont want to drive it for fear ofrupture. Today we were told that a decision is to be made by the end of dec. 2017 that may relieve gmc of this burden altogether which we find completely unsatisfactory. We would like this replaced as it is the right and safe thing to do & at gmc's expense. Is there anything we can do besides sale/trade it in, only to pass the problem on to someone else? thank you

Takata recall
Vehicle's airbags did not deploy upon collision with two concrete walls, causing a life threatening tbi and also severe damage to the left arm which resulted in it's inability to control/use below the elbow, and especially the hand. This was due to the brachial plexus injury that was caused when the airbags did not deploy as they were supposed to. I have attached the report from police and insurance company (with photos).

I had a recall on my airbag 2 years back and the dealer said that the parts or on back order.at what point does this become a safety issue????
Takata recallthis recall has been pending for years.weekly i receive messages from nhtsa involving more and more makes and models.my vehicle is now 10 years old and still not repaired.how much longer do we have to wait for repair?
A light flickers on occasion that looks like a airbag warning. It does not stay on long or often.
Recall on airbag . I have been waiting years ! this is crazy.
Takata recall was issued by gm beginning 2016 with no resolution imminent.this is 2 years later, still with no resolution.i am afraid to carry a passenger for fear of air bag failure.
Takata recalli received my first recall notice in july 2016 and it is almost 3 years later and still no resolution to the passenger air bag problem. I'm concerned for any passenger that rides with me in the event that the air bag would deploy. Seems like 3 years is way to long to get this fixed.
My husband was stopped at a light when the side airbags deployed. We contacted gmc they sent someone to investigate. That person said due to some water leaking in on them is what caused it. Nothing was wet though. Now they cannot do anything to help. Seems like if they know they have a defect in the front airbags it is a chance the side ones are also bad. They hang like curtains. Have not been able to drive it since the seatbelts locked also. The cost to repair would be $6000. This is something that was no fault of ours. There has been so much time put into trying to get this resolved. We cant e the only ones this happened to. Suggestion?

Dashboard cracked in two places.the passenger side cracked on the portion covering the passenger air bag.i am worried that if inflated, the plastic shards will impale any passenger.also the dashboard cracked on the driver side above the instrument cluster.it is beginning to cave it.
Takata recall why have the owner of these vehicles been neglected and no repairs solutions has been offered?
Called don davis lake jackson in august about recall have not received a replacement part.
The dash on both sides of the speaker has cracked through to the air-bag on the passenger side and through several inches of the instrument cluster dash cover on the drivers side.this has progressively gotten worse until the whole assembly vibrates worsening the crack until it appears that if the air bag deployed, pieces of the dash material could disintegrate and injure someone. I've been watching this for about 4 years.this is a product defect and should be covered by the manufacturer.
I'm frustrated with the dash being cracked. The big issue is that i believe it is a safety issue. The dash is cracked around the airbag area. If this airbag should deploy someone could be hurt or killed. I would like to get this corrected because i'm afraid to operate the vehicle.thank you for your attention in this matter.

Takata recall-- i was contacted in 2016 about this recall and have been given the run around by my dealer and gm yes i've called them and they said you guys gave them an extension to play with the lives of people (my words) come on. Get on the ball and make gm replace this air bag . Since we received mail this past sat. That tk holdings has filed bankruptcy. So i suppose that means we as the consumer will have to pay for the part ourself. Since it is not our fault as buyers that this company ripped us off.

Takata air bags. I have been to the gmc dealership service department several times over the last 2-3 years since the recall was placed on my pickup for the takata air bags trying to get the air bags replaced or fixed.

I already spent over $1200 to replace the front brake components because of extensive rust which damaged the front brake system to the extent the wheels would no longer rotate without great effort.this truck was originally owned by someone in pa, then on the eastern shore of maryland thru may 2016.there is a lot of rust on the undercarriage of this vehicle - from i assume, salt and water.

Takata airbags. I was notified by mail june2016 of defective airbags. I've called my gmc dealer (mckinney buick gmc - mckinney, tx) several times & they keep telling me parts are not available. This has been going on for over 1 1/2 years now.airbags have not deployed, but am not comfortable continuing driving a vehicle that nhtsa deems unsafe.
Takata recall:gmc has known about this issue way to long and still to this date cannot give me a date or time frame when they can fix my issue.this should have already been corrected.the second issue is the epidemic dash cracking that is obviously an engineering issue and gmc should be held accountable to correct this defect in their dashes.my dash cracks are almost identical to thousands of other gmc owners and when there is an obvious flaw, they should correct it. Down at the bottom where is say when did this happen?i know if happened it 2010, but not a specific day or month.
I was in an accident and hit a fence and then a power pole.the impact pushed the power pole about a foot and my engine was pushed into the interior.the airbag did not deploy.at this impact should the airbag have deployed?
Had a co-worker with a 2008 that told me about his dashboard crack adjacent to the air-bag compartment.my vehicle has only 22,000 miles and has been garage housed the entire time.i'm afraid that if the air-bag deployed, with the crack in the corner, there could be severe damage to the passenger.

My 2008 gmc 1500 sierra "service air bag" light came on when i started my truck a few weeks ago.finally was at the dealer, romeo gmc in kingston, ny.they ran diagnostics testing and advised me that my front air bag sensor sensor was bad and it cost me $469 to replace it!the service guy said 'they are in a bad place and get damaged from the weather etc and they just go like that!'really?that's ok for a safety design?also, how can this small sensor cost so much??is it just dealership gouging parts prices?i am seeing online that i could have bought an after market product and replaced it myself- a 10mm bolt holds it on! was i just robbed?maybe i can return it ad drive without the air bag!

An airbag warning light has come on and has been on for almost a year showing a faulty airbag and two calls with certified gmc dealership to remedy the airbag(s) to make for a safe ride have gone uncompleted staying no resolution has been made. This is an ongoing safety recall that should be remedied by gm for public safety and to this point has refused to do any repair/replacement. It is well documented that the airbag manufacturer is stating that there is a high risk of deterioration of the airbag and sudden deployment resulting in serious injury to death.
The plastic around the passanger airbag has started cracking and continues to spread to other areas. I feel this could make for a bad situation with shards of sharp platic being throw at the passanger if the airbag where to be deployed.

The upper dash panel cracked after being parked outside.i thought someone broke in and hit it with something, it is cracked down center of instrument panel toward windshield then across to air bag compartment. My fear is that if the air bag that is pending recall information passenger air bag deploys and passengers could be hit by plastic shrapnel. Another concern is a child gets hand or arm injured by simply pressing too hard on flimsy dashboard. I am a 100% service connected combat veteran and need to sell truck to purchase a van for transportation.the cracked dash is hindering the sale at a decent price.the dealer said repair is around $1200 and i don't have that kind of money laying around anyway if i am unable to sell it.

At approximately 48,000 miles driving on a paved road, my dash on the passenger side where the air bag is located, cracked.the crack continues to increase in size.i would think it would effect operation of air bag.with as many complaints that are posted to this, i cannot believe its not under investigation.
My dashboard has several cracks exposing the electrical components within the dash.these cracks are in various places across the entire dash.i purchased this vehicle brand new and it is currently in excellent condition (with the exception of the dash)i am concerned that if the air bag were to be deployed the plastic dashboard would explode and expose my passengers or myself to additional hazards within the vehicle.i am also concerned that the electrical system in my dash board is now exposed to additional hazards due to the additional exposure to the sun.i am filing this incident with the hopes that it will help a recall to be issued.i noticed the first small crack in 2011.i have kept an eye on it over the years and as of today, there are exposed openings in the dash in several places.until today, i thought that i might have just been unlucky, however after doing some research online, it is apparent that i am not alone, and this should be recalled under a manufacturers defect.thank you for taking the time to file this report on my behalf.feel free to email me with additional information as needed.best regards.

Takata recall - received nhtsa recall #2049151 gm # 16v381, in 2016. I've called mckinney tx gmc buick numerous times over the past 2 years & have been told repeatedly that parts are not available. Today i called & spoke with a gm rep (ph# 866-996-9463).i was told that my particular vin is not included in the recall & is safe to drive (he read me a long statement that i'm sure gm tells them to read). When i asked him why, when i enter my vin in their website search, it says my vehicle is at risk, he couldn't answer. Since receiving the original notice over 2 years ago, i've purposely limited the miles driven on my 10-yr-old truck, because of their recall letter.now, they're saying the letter was wrong, but they're not willing to send me something stating that. I have zero faith in what that gm rep told me, & i'm really hesitant to drive my vehicle on the highway. Please advise if my vehicle is, indeed safe to drive, ow whether i need to continue pursuing gm for repairs. If they can put safe airbags in a new truck, why can't they put one in mine?

Takata inflators: why is it taking so long to fix a problem that may result in injury or death.until this problem is fixed it is my belief that there should be no production of any new vehicles.if air bags are still being installed, as per government regulations and safety standards,the automobile industry engineers should be able to come up with a retrofit.the government should force the issue.my vehicle is still on recall.

The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500.while driving 65 mph, the contact fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into eight other vehicles.the frontal air bags failed to deploy.the contact sustained head, neck, and back injuries.the vehicle was destroyed and a police report was filed.the contact called the manufacturer and was informed that there was a recall on the windshield washer warming fluid sensor.the contact was informed that the vehicle should not have been sold until the recall was repaired because the wire harness module was defective, which caused the air bag failure.the contact was informed that a claim investigator would inspect the vehicle the following week.the failure mileage was 22,000.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the air bag sensors in the vehicle were corroded. The air bag indicator illuminated before and after the failure. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not provided. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that there had been a burning odor emitting from within the cabin of the vehicle. Then suddenly the heating system failed without warning. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who stated that the heater wires that had a connector that had burned the wires on both ends of the connector. The relay or the boil motor had to be replaced. The contact spoke with the dealer(moore buick gmc2445 n marine blvd, jacksonville, nc 28546,(910) 455-1414) who repaired the vehicle by replacing the two wires. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 131,000.
On 04.12.2014 after going to the store, parked under the carport. The time was 10pm. While inside heard a pop sound around 10:15 pm. Went outside and the truck was on fire. Put truck in neutral and pushed it from under the carport, trying to save damage to the house. Fire dept came and put the fire out. The fire warped all the vinyl under the carport. Lucky it didn't catch the house on fire. The fire was worse on the passenger side of the vehicle.
Headlights dim when the brakes are applied, when the truck shifts from 1st to second gear and when the blinkers are used at interstate speeds. Contacted gm and have been told this is normal in all vehicles.also have had 3 door lock actuators and 1 window motor replaced. Had to have the front steering/rack and pinion replaced. Currently having problem with front door not opening.
All four of my trucks door lock actuators have failed.
All four power door lock actuators have failed. First three failed before reaching 30000 miles. Dealer advised they were not covered under warranty. I argued with them, by the time my truck had 50000 miles all four had failed and was told that the warranty expired at 36000 miles. This is a safety hazard and gm refuses to acknowledge the millions of vehicles affected by this issue. Gm wants $300 per door to repair. I shouldn't have to pay them $1200 for something i paid for with the price of the truck.
Jan 2015 the air bag light came on. Many complaints on this issue. Also june of 2015 the door locks started acting up. Passenger side will not lock/unlock now the driver door is acting up also... Many complaints seen on both these concerns.
Right passenger door lock intermittent locking.car alarm will set and vehicle will start without the door locking.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that all the automatic door locks failed to operate. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the actuator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 194,000. The vin was not available.
The contact owned a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 55 mph, smoke emerged from the vents on the passenger side of the vehicle. The vehicle was pulled over to a shoulder lane where the passenger side began to catch fire. The contact stated that wires were visible prior to the fire. The fire department extinguished the fire. No injuries were sustained. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and the insurance company deemed the vehicle destroyed. The cause of the failure was not determined. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v383000 (air bags). The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified and opened a case for the contact. The failure mileage was approximately 118,000.
Service air bag warning light and icon are showing on the instrument cluster. The warning comes on every time i start the vehicle.
Radio plays some days and than sometimes it plays normal, backup saftey beeps you cannot hear it, buzzard for keys left in the ignition, you cannot hear it. The was stationary
3 of my 4 door lock actuators have failed. Both rear doors could not be locked or unlocked except manually from within the vehicle. Reaching over the seat to unlock a child's door in an emergency constitutes a safety hazard. In my opinion, gmc should step up an acknowledge and address this issue.
Engine cuts off going down the road in my 2008 gmc sierra.serious problem that is had by many others since 2001...very dangerous and due to a sticky throttle body actuator.
My dashboard has several cracks exposing the electrical components within the dash.these cracks are in various places across the entire dash.i purchased this vehicle brand new and it is currently in excellent condition (with the exception of the dash)i am concerned that if the air bag were to be deployed the plastic dashboard would explode and expose my passengers or myself to additional hazards within the vehicle.i am also concerned that the electrical system in my dash board is now exposed to additional hazards due to the additional exposure to the sun.i am filing this incident with the hopes that it will help a recall to be issued.i noticed the first small crack in 2011.i have kept an eye on it over the years and as of today, there are exposed openings in the dash in several places.until today, i thought that i might have just been unlucky, however after doing some research online, it is apparent that i am not alone, and this should be recalled under a manufacturers defect.thank you for taking the time to file this report on my behalf.feel free to email me with additional information as needed.best regards.
Automatic door lock works intermittently on passenger side rear door.door lock has to be operated manually to ensure it is locked/unlocked
Power door locks work intermittantly. This poses a saftey concerne as the locks sometimes will not auto lock when put in gear
Power door lock failed on driver door. You can not open door with out lifting hand latch. This is very dangerous-- meaning you can not open door by door handle-- there is no override like provided on other vehicles. Other door failed 2 months later. Truck locks and unlocks doors when moving shifter from park to drive, there is no program option to delete this option. So you lock and unlock doors every time you shift truck transmission to park or in drive. This is not needed in my case, since you can manually do same.this is manufacture defect and should be recalled.
The three passenger doors failed to unlock simultaneouslyi understand a tsb has been sent to dealers. This seems to be a safety issue ,and should require a recall.
My service man was pulling out of parking lot at store when air bags exploded and seat belts locked.he did not hit anything and was only going about 10 mphwhen this happened.took to local dealer to see if they could fix it.they said yes , but we would have to pay for it.we could contact the manufacturerif necessary. The bill was $1413.89. (parts $798.00--labor 562.59tax 48.19). We had to get it fixed as it is illegal to be on the road without seat belts (or air bags). We feel these are defective parts an d we should be reimbursed by the manufacturer..this is an unsafe vehichle!!!! thanks
Passenger automatic door lock quit working first. After 6 months or so the drivers side door lock quit working also. Then within months after the drivers door lock failing both rear door locks quit working within a month of each other. Now none of the doors lock automatically or when the lock button is pushed.
I have a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. I have read on one post alone about a "reduced engine power" message being displayed, and there are over 400 people complaining about this. The vehicles from gm go into a reduced power and have no throttle at speeds of up to 75+mph. There have been wrecks from this and yet gm does nothing about it. I had the same experience 2 nights ago doing 50 mph with my 3 year old in the back seat. I was a lucky one and had room to pull over before someone smacked into the back of my truck. Please do something for gm owners!!!!!!! this is bs and extremely dangerous! i guess someone has to die first before a recall??? government motors is crap people. Don't buy!
Power surge to electrical system... Voltage meter will drop below 9 volts then the following occurs: headlights flicker, radio shuts off, climate control shuts off, dash lights flicker, air bag light flashes, service air bag warning pops up, and truck stalls out. This is a dangerous situation while driving and if this is electrical may cause fire. This is intermittent and occurs at anytime for no particular reason regardless of weather/temperature.
A light flickers on occasion that looks like a airbag warning. It does not stay on long or often.
Front air bag impact sensors corroded and did not deploy air bagin accident
Rear passenger door will only lock/unlock manually from the inside. I have been told the problem is a failed door lock actuator. It will not lock/unlock with power lock button or key fob and there is no keyhole except on drivers door.this is my second gmc vehicle that has had the same problem and after searching the internet this seems to be a fairly common problem and i am trying to figure outwhy it has not been recalled or gmc has not been forced to fix the problem. Wouldn't you consider a door that does not lock/unlock the intended way a safety issue?
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the service air bag indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front air bag sensor needed to be replaced, but was not repaired. The repair was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags). The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 152,518.
My 2008 gmc sierra has had the electric door locks fail on three of the four doors. The first occurred after about 36,000 miles and the most recent occurred today at about 64,700 mles. The first repair cost over $300. I have been hesitant to have the other two doors repaired because of cost, but safety is a concern. The two rear doors now will not automatically lock when the vehicle is placed in drive, presenting a hazard especially when tranporting children. I have seen numerous similar complaints on the internet. Shoouldn't gm issue a recall for this problem?
Low oil pressure light came on due to excessive oil consumption while driving.engine burned 5 quarts of oil in under 3000 miles. 105k miles on 5.3 liter v8. Dealer said typical for this engine to have carbon buildup and needs new piston rings and pistons.also driver side door lock actuator replaced and window switches.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the odometer display was dim and extremely difficult to see. The contact adjusted the dimmer switch, did not improve the visibility for all of the other instrument panel indicators except the odometer reading. The dimmer switch was repaired by an independent mechanic, but the failure recurred. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure several times, but no remedy was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.updated 08/12/14*lj
Takata inflators air bags and tire stability lights both came on about the same time a couple months ago, dealership is quotes are high, im now afraid to drive my vehicle, i m at a point that i will have to park the vehicle.

Vehicle was in (d) drive and i was able to turn the ignition off.is this normal?i checked with my gmc dealer and they said it had to be put on the computer to be checked, however was not covered by any posted recall.is this relative to the ignition recall?thank you
Out of nowhere engine began to idle erratically almost causing an accident at an intersection, if i hadn't caught it and slammed on the brakes the truck would have rear ended another vehicle. After that the idle began to drop as if the vehicle was going to stall, then would kick back up to about 900-1000 rpm. Was intermittent at first, now vehicle is not driveable.it is worse with a/c on and it effects engine temp gauge as well.
Broken exhaust manifold bolts. As of today i have a total of (3) bolt heads that are broken. (2) on drivers side and (1) on passenger side. The exhaust fumes are beginning to leak inside of the cab especially when stopped at intersections.
My sierra developed a noise on deceleration.took it to the gmc dealer and was told it had a worn cam. $5500 to repair,$7750 to replace engine. I knew that a worn cam would cause lifter noise all the time so that was wrong info. Upon further investigation i found out this truck has active fuel management. What happened was a failure of the system. It should be noted that this truck always had high oil consumption. I deactivated the active fuel management system.the truck runs on all 8 cylinders,is completely quiet and no longer uses oil. It is better than new.i also found hundreds of complaints similar to my and paid for expensive repairs.this active fuel managementis nothing more than a scam to falsely increase fuel mileage and to rip off customers when it goes bad. It can be deactivated with a $175 chip.
Lifters failed at 98,000 causing engine replacement.
Low oil pressure while in motion. Split o-ring on oil pump pick up tube, metal debris in screen for oil pressure sensor/ afm valve lifter manifold. No valve shield on afm valve in oil pan. High oil consumption.
Excessive oil consumption. Began using in june of 2015. Uses more than 1 qt per 3000 miles of driving.
On 04.12.2014 after going to the store, parked under the carport. The time was 10pm. While inside heard a pop sound around 10:15 pm. Went outside and the truck was on fire. Put truck in neutral and pushed it from under the carport, trying to save damage to the house. Fire dept came and put the fire out. The fire warped all the vinyl under the carport. Lucky it didn't catch the house on fire. The fire was worse on the passenger side of the vehicle.
Driving and warning came on and it said "engine hot a/c turned off" had this vehicle only one week when this happened, towed back to the dealer the said wasn't under warranty, i told them to keep the truck. They put on a new thermostat, two weeks later same thing. Took truck to my mechanic and he replaced the thermostat.good for about two months, warning keeps coming on. Looked on line many people have had this happen, a mechanic at a chevrolet garage told me it is probably in the cluster panel/ computer??big money.with all the problems other's have been having, i think it is dangerous truck catch on fire going down the road.would like an answer to this problem. Thank you mary ann
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle lost power. Also, the traction control, service engine, and reduced engine power indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (betten baker buick, 2901 28th st, grandville, mi, 49418, phone number: 616-530-9191) where it was diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The contact was referred to nhtsa. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. The contact was driving approximately 35 mph when the temperature warning indicator light illuminated. The vehicle was in the process of overheating and the contact allowed the vehicle to cool down. The vehicle was later driven to the contact's residence and was not taken to for diagnosis of repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 3,664.
Collapsed afm lifter at 108000 miles.i was driving down the highway and all of the sudden my check engine light came on, service traction control and service stabilitrak.my engine was idling rough at low rpm.took vehicle to the dealership and was told that it had a collapsed lifter on the #6 cylinder. I have always had the oil changed regularly at the dealership. Was told it would be 4800 to replace all the lifters, 5300 if the cam was bad also and 7300 for a new engine.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted, but the failure recurred and code: p069-e illuminated. The dealer was not called. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
I was driving from lufkin to hemphill at 70 mph.something blew up, i thought something hit me.engine died, brakes started, emergency lights came on, and seatbelt locked down,truck stopped, i got out to see what hit me.nothing!when i got back in the truck a white powder (not smoke) was coming out of the seat belt on drivers side.when seat belt locked down i had to back seat up to get out of the belt.i was lucky that i did not hit someone.
I have the 5.3l engine and it is consuming 3-5 qua of oil about 3 times between oil changes. I have a small leak but doesn't warrant the oil being lost a
Driving and the engine began making a hitting sound as if someone was beating a metal object against metal.
Ticking noise began once the vehicle reached ~100,000 miles.initially, the ticking only occurred once the engine was started.as time went on, the ticking became more frequent, to include upon engine start and while the vehicle was under load/accelerating.at approximately 108,000 miles, the tick became constant while the engine is running.gmc dealer diagnosed the problem as a failed lifter, which, apparently, has been a common problem in gm 5.3l engines.a vehicle should not need a new engine, or even new lifters for that matter, at 100,000 miles.this is a known issue, with many consumers reporting it and gm acknowledging it.vehicles with these engines should have been recalled years ago.
At about 37k miles the front doors of my 2008 sierra will not unlock have to manually lock doors and fob will not lock even unlock doors resulting in possible theft. Back doors work properly.also fog lights do not work properly. A/c is making a loud noise.
Headlights dim when the brakes are applied, when the truck shifts from 1st to second gear and when the blinkers are used at interstate speeds. Contacted gm and have been told this is normal in all vehicles.also have had 3 door lock actuators and 1 window motor replaced. Had to have the front steering/rack and pinion replaced. Currently having problem with front door not opening.
The contact owns a 2008 general motor company sierra 1500. The contact was driving in reverse 2 mph out of the drive way when smoked emitted from the rear of the vehicle. The contact stopped the vehicleand confirmed that the drivers side rear tail light marker assembly was on fire. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a private mechanic. The private mechanic confirmed that there was a defective marker tail light assembly. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 120,000.
Standard equipment on a new 2008 sierra 1500 crew cab was not on the vehicle. The item being noted as the dic or driver information center is the dashboard computer that show mpg, tire air pressure and other basic information vital to everyday driving, fuel management and safety. Again, this is listed as standard equipment. And it was discovered within the first 100 miles of driving the vehicle that the item was not on this/our particular vehicle. The deletion of this equipment also severely decreases the value (resale or not) of this vehicle.
Rodent problem causing a major gas leak during operation of vehicle, 2008 gmc sierra 1500.this is the explanation from the service manager at fox chevy in laurel md.there solution to fix this problem is to replace plastic fitting that was supposedly eaten by a rodent. Which leads to my concern that if this could happen to me once it surely could happen again and with disastrous results.i've been in contact with gmc customer service and i have started a case, file #71-623647784.i want the public to be aware of this because of its hazardous nature.i waiting to hear from gmc"s customer service specialist to see if there is a resolution, such as shielding the gas fitting from possible rodent accessibility.
Takata recall/received important safety recall in july 2016 and have not received notice that parts are available make repairs.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that a month after having the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic to have the fuel pump was replaced, the contact was unable to start the vehicle. The contact was informed that the fuel control module need to be reprogrammed and that only an authorized dealer had the necessary equipment to perform the reprogramming. The vehicle was taken to molye chevrolet located at (115 w main st, honeoye falls, ny 14472), and was diagnosed and repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 168,000.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500.the contact stated that the automatic door lock would not lock even when attempting to lock the vehicle maunally.the vehicle was not inspected by a dealer or manufacturer and was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 38,000.
Power door locks do not work on vehicle, whether using key fob, or lock/unlock button inside.the problem is intermittent; different locks do not work at different times.
Power door lock failed on driver door. You can not open door with out lifting hand latch. This is very dangerous-- meaning you can not open door by door handle-- there is no override like provided on other vehicles. Other door failed 2 months later. Truck locks and unlocks doors when moving shifter from park to drive, there is no program option to delete this option. So you lock and unlock doors every time you shift truck transmission to park or in drive. This is not needed in my case, since you can manually do same.this is manufacture defect and should be recalled.
At 35k the drivers side front door actuator failed and was replaced under warranty. At 40k the passenger side door actuator failed. I was told this is a common problem with this vehicle due to defective parts used by gmc. With no ability to open or close the passenger door from the drivers control, a potential safety issue exists. E.g. Unable to prevent an intruder from entering the car at a stop light, or allow a scared child to exit after an accident.
The vehicle is a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. The drivers side door locked automatically when the vehicle was put into drive.once i had arrived at the destination the drivers side door would not open and i was not able to exit the vehicle as a result. I attempted to use the electronic lock to re-lock and unlock the door and this had no success.attempted rolling down the window and opening the door with the outside latch which also had no success.tried manually locking and unlocking the door and nothing appears to allow this door to be opened using the inside or outside door latches.i had to exit the vehicle using the passenger side door which opened as it should. Neither inside or outside door latches functioned.i believe this to be a manufacturers defect and this should be put on a recall list and the resolution should be provided at no cost to the owners of this vehicle.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that all the automatic door locks failed to operate. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the actuator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 194,000. The vin was not available.
At about 37k miles the front doors of my 2008 sierra will not unlock have to manually lock doors and fob will not lock even unlock doors resulting in possible theft. Back doors work properly.also fog lights do not work properly. A/c is making a loud noise.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500.the vehicle was parked with the engine running and the doors locked.upon trying to enter the vehicle using a separate remote key the vehicle would not unlock.he had to enter the vehicle through the front drivers side door by manually unlocking the door. Once he entered the vehicle he smelled a slight melting odor.he compared the odor to the smell of burning wires. The vehicle was not examined by the dealer to determine the cause of failure. The manufacturer was notified and stated that he had to take the vehicle to an authorized dealer and pay to have the failure diagnosed.the vehicle was not repaired.the failure and current mileages were 47,000.
Passenger automatic door lock quit working first. After 6 months or so the drivers side door lock quit working also. Then within months after the drivers door lock failing both rear door locks quit working within a month of each other. Now none of the doors lock automatically or when the lock button is pushed.
2008 gmc sierra 1500 truck electric lock actuators are defective - there are several complaints on line - mine are no longer working and 2 of the 4 have already been replaced.
Rear passenger door will only lock/unlock manually from the inside. I have been told the problem is a failed door lock actuator. It will not lock/unlock with power lock button or key fob and there is no keyhole except on drivers door.this is my second gmc vehicle that has had the same problem and after searching the internet this seems to be a fairly common problem and i am trying to figure outwhy it has not been recalled or gmc has not been forced to fix the problem. Wouldn't you consider a door that does not lock/unlock the intended way a safety issue?
The contact owns a 2008 gm sierra 1500. The contact stated that the door locks became inoperable. The contact was not able to exit the vehicle as a result. The contact was able to exit the vehicle once a passenger opened the door from the exterior of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the problem was a common and that they were working to find a remedy for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 65,000. The vin was unavailable.
The three passenger doors failed to unlock simultaneouslyi understand a tsb has been sent to dealers. This seems to be a safety issue ,and should require a recall.
Right passenger door lock intermittent locking.car alarm will set and vehicle will start without the door locking.
Door locks quit locking with the auto locker and remote on the driver door 1st 1trip. Took three month to get parts trip to fix. And then the rear passenger door quit another trip to get looked at. Now waiting to get the rear door parts and someone told me it could do it to all 4 doors........my truck has seen more time at the shop then in my driveway.
All four of my trucks door lock actuators have failed.
Randomdoor lock failure leading to permanent failure over several months. Owner is unaware of problem until several weeks or months as problem progresses to complete failure. Door locks will sometimes lock and sometimes unlock, but totally unaware to the owner until the problem finishes with complete failure. Often times vehicle is left unlocked when owner assumes it is. The problem creates opportunity for crime as well as many other safety concerns. The other major concern is the integrity of the door locking system during a crash ..... When you know your doors may not be locked.i have grave concerns for children inthe back seats of vehicles that should be locked but aren't. Because of flaws in component integrity. This problem has happened to 3 (including myself) out of 5 trucks owned by friends or family members.the internet is flooded with thousands of people having the same problem.we have serious concerns regarding this matter. Thanks for your co-operation.
My 2008 gmc sierra has had the electric door locks fail on three of the four doors. The first occurred after about 36,000 miles and the most recent occurred today at about 64,700 mles. The first repair cost over $300. I have been hesitant to have the other two doors repaired because of cost, but safety is a concern. The two rear doors now will not automatically lock when the vehicle is placed in drive, presenting a hazard especially when tranporting children. I have seen numerous similar complaints on the internet. Shoouldn't gm issue a recall for this problem?
Power door lock failure. Cannot lock or unlock 3 out of the trucks 4 doors with remote or the on board lock/unlock button. The driver door failed 3 week ago, the driver side rear door failed last week and the passenger side read door failed yesterday. This is both a safety and security issue. The back door locks can only be accessed from inside the truck in the event of an emergency with no key access. From a security stand point the failure is not known until the door either does not lock or unlock and you notice the failure. This becomes an issue as you may think that the vehicles doors are locked but they are not. Also the inability to lock the door in the event someone is trying to get into the vehiclei.e. Carjacking. I have scheduled a repair with the dealer who admitted that this is a known issue.
2 of the door lock actuators failed.
Headlights dim when the brakes are applied, when the truck shifts from 1st to second gear and when the blinkers are used at interstate speeds. Contacted gm and have been told this is normal in all vehicles.also have had 3 door lock actuators and 1 window motor replaced. Had to have the front steering/rack and pinion replaced. Currently having problem with front door not opening.
Gmc door lock actuators fail at a very high rate. Doors will not automatically lock/unlock when you put the vehicle park/drive.
Dash is cracked in the "common place" for these vehicles. Corner above the instrument panel and at the passenger side airbag, the transmission is also a issue, the 3/4 gear packet has went out and the housing inside the transmission is cracked, so it would've broke soon also.

My vehicle has a thump while applying and releasing the brake pedal and the manufacturer has tried to repair the drive line/ shaft several times. Now the manufacturer is saying that there is no repair parts for the problem that i'm experiencing.
2008 gmc sierra 1500. Consumer writes in regards to thump under the right rear wheel *tgwthe consumer was informed the front differential had a crack in it and the rear middle leaf spring was broken.

My service man was pulling out of parking lot at store when air bags exploded and seat belts locked.he did not hit anything and was only going about 10 mphwhen this happened.took to local dealer to see if they could fix it.they said yes , but we would have to pay for it.we could contact the manufacturerif necessary. The bill was $1413.89. (parts $798.00--labor 562.59tax 48.19). We had to get it fixed as it is illegal to be on the road without seat belts (or air bags). We feel these are defective parts an d we should be reimbursed by the manufacturer..this is an unsafe vehichle!!!! thanks
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. While the vehicle was being cleaned, the passenger side air bag deployed. Prior to the failure, the seat belt and air bag warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000. The vin was unavailable.
Drivers side seat belt will not lock in to the receiver on side of seat. Dealer said i may have to pay for a diagnoses and replacement plus parts. I say it's a safety issue and should be covered for free. Wonder if other people have had same problem.
I was slowly going across a parking lot when a loud bang like a gun shot happened and the driver side seat belt pulled me tight against the seat. There was a smell of a chemical gas in the cab and the emergency flashers came on. I am surely glad i was only going a few miles an hour. Now the seat belts (both sides) are locked tight. I understand this might not be that rare of a problem but it's the first i've ever heard of it.
My husband was stopped at a light when the side airbags deployed. We contacted gmc they sent someone to investigate. That person said due to some water leaking in on them is what caused it. Nothing was wet though. Now they cannot do anything to help. Seems like if they know they have a defect in the front airbags it is a chance the side ones are also bad. They hang like curtains. Have not been able to drive it since the seatbelts locked also. The cost to repair would be $6000. This is something that was no fault of ours. There has been so much time put into trying to get this resolved. We cant e the only ones this happened to. Suggestion?
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. While driving unknown speeds, the seat belts failed to fasten. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact called sands chevrolet (16991 w waddell rd, surprise, az 85388, (623) 428-1865) and was informed to schedule a diagnostic appointment. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was 181,000.
In cold weather, the brakes may stay engaged, even upon releasing the brake pedal.this will happen sporadically, and usually upon starting for the first time at a given day.i will start driving, then brake when required, release the brake when i want to resume driving, but the brakes may remain engaged.
I was driving from lufkin to hemphill at 70 mph.something blew up, i thought something hit me.engine died, brakes started, emergency lights came on, and seatbelt locked down,truck stopped, i got out to see what hit me.nothing!when i got back in the truck a white powder (not smoke) was coming out of the seat belt on drivers side.when seat belt locked down i had to back seat up to get out of the belt.i was lucky that i did not hit someone.
Brake problems.
I have purchased a new 2008 gmc sierra 1500 pickup on march 1 2008 and currently has 10, 400 mileson the vehicle. I have pouncing and vibrating brakes and had them checked at a gm dealer in my town, the brake rotor have measurements of 1.17 and 1.16 left, it is recommended that rotors be replaced at a measurement of 1.1. Vehicle iis not safe to operate with rotors in this condition and have to be manufactures defect to be in this condition already. The vehicle as at a registered gm dealership in ligonier pa but this dealer is a buick and pontiac dealer and does not sell gmc trucks. Gmc will not honor the warranty at this location and this results in my operating a vehicle that is not safe. This is a combination of gm arrogance in policy and the installment of inferior brake rotors to begin with.
2008 gmc sierra 1500 sle has had to have front rotors and pads replaced at 20,000 miles.replaced rotors and pads with aftermarket parts.at 30,000 miles pads and rotors are worn down to metal again.dealership stated that calipers are working but rear brakes need to be replaced also.i have always had brake issues since the day i bought the truck brand new with brakes overheating.
2008gmc sierra crew cab. The vehicle is 18 months old, has been to dealership 8 times to replace or repair front and rear brakes. Problem still exist and dealership doesn't know how to fix problem. At highway speeds, when brakes are applied, major vibration occurs and vehicle is hard to hold on the road. Problem stared at 25,474 miles and vehicle now has 53,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500.while driving 30 mph, the contact rear ended another vehicle due to faulty brakes.a police report was filed.the dealer was notified and stated that they were not aware of the failure.the contact found out that the brakes were faulty from the mechanic.the dealer wants the contact to pay for the repair, although the vehicle had faulty brakes at the time of purchase.the current mileage was 850 and failure mileage was 21.
Brake rotors warped at 15k miles, had them turned under warranty at dealer vehicle was purchased from.at 30k miles rotors warped again, this time 1 brake pad was worn down to 2mm thick, the rest appear almost new in thickness.dealer turned rotors again and replaced pads for $200. Requested and was denied that the brake work be covered under warranty by dealer and gm cs.i took old brake hardware home with me and still have it.i contend there is something wrong with the design or materials in the brake system of this truck causing premature wear and failure of "non warranty" brake items such as the pads and rotors.i contend that there has been a hanging brake pad causing the rotors to overheat and warp since the vehicle was new and any work performed at the time of the 15k mile rotor turning did not correct the problem. If brake work needs to be performed on this truck every 15k miles there is a reason that should be covered under warranty.one time freak failure i can see, two times evenly spaced at 15k mile intervals and i think something is wrong with the vehicles brakes design and/or materials.vehicle is daily driver, 15 miles a day to and from work.garaged during the winter, taken off road (frozen cornfields, dirt field roads) for a week in late fall.used to tow a fishing boat a few times a year.owner is a former ase certified mechanic and is not an aggressive user of the brakes.meaning i brake firmly and evenly when braking is needed, lifting my foot off the pedal once stopped and apply only enough pressure to hold vehicle still.
09/2009 ' began to hear front brakes intermittently squeaking when i applied brakes.10/2009 -took vehicle to midas for inspection.technician discovered both front and rear brakes were worn down needed to be replaced, truck had approximately 19,000 milespaid for both front and rear brakes to be replaced.2/2010 ' went to local mountains (big bear) for the day with my family.while coming down the mountain i noticed my brake pedal starting to get soft.pulled over onto a turn our point and noticed my front driver's side wheel was smoking.please my hands close to the wheel and felt heat coming from the brakes, did the same on the passenger's side with the same results.waited30-40 minutes for them to cool down.tested braking in the turn our and proceeded home.2/2010 (the next day) ' took truck back to midas (with approximately 24,000 miles) for them to inspect.the technician noticed the disk were 'blue' and recommend they be replaced.he also showed me the rubber boots that were melted on the drivers side due to the extreme heat that was generated.i requested that midas change the brakes (which they did) and purchased new rotors as the technician had advised and they also exchanged the brake fluid.i had planned on taking the truck to the dealer to have the driver's side caliper replaced.2/2010 (the following weekend) i took the vehicle to foothill ranch chevrolet and explained the events leading up to my visit.i explained to the service advisor that the driver's side caliper boots were burnt and i wanted them replaced.he noticed my concerns and took my vehicle.2/2010 ' (the following wednesday) received call truck was ready and picked up and that my caliper had not been replaced as it was found to be in acceptable working order even with burnt boots.3/2010 ' called 800-222-1020 (gm customer line) incident # 71-814348680 to lodge a complaint and ask for my drivers side caliper to be replaced.*dt
While driving a brand new 2008 gmc sierra, 4 door, 4 wheel drive with only 872 miles on the odometer, going approximately 30 to 40 mph, the steering knuckle holding the tie rod broke on drivers front side.the driver impacted a pull camper trailer exploding the tire upon impact with the camper.the wheel rim was turned side ways as it impacted the tires of the camperflattening 2 tires curling the camper wheel rims and causing damage along the side of the camper. Then impacted a ford car down the drivers side that was following the camper.the impact caused the airbag to deploy in the truck.the tire on the truck was found over 200 feet from the impact.the markings on the tire were consistent with the steering knuckle breakage.inspection by both the tow truck owner and the collision repair shop noticed that the part looked defective and pointed it out to the owner of the truck.the tow truck operator owns an identical truck and was very concerned about the safety of his own vehicle.this vehicle has not been repaired and is available for inspection.if failure would have occurred a few hours later on interstate 95 at 70 mph (a planned trip) the outcome could have been much different.
Two large cracks on dashboard. One is above instrument cluster hump and it's approximately 5" in length. The other is just above passenger side airbag and that one is approximately 3" in length.
Dash is cracking in multiple locations. My truck is hardly in the sun and i always use a sun shade in the windshield. There are several cracks around the dash and i am worried this will have an impact on the air bag systems. This is unacceptable from gmc.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the dashboard had a crack from the dashboard to the air bags. The dealer and manufacturer stated that the contact was liable for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 138,197.
My dashboard has several cracks exposing the electrical components within the dash.these cracks are in various places across the entire dash.i purchased this vehicle brand new and it is currently in excellent condition (with the exception of the dash)i am concerned that if the air bag were to be deployed the plastic dashboard would explode and expose my passengers or myself to additional hazards within the vehicle.i am also concerned that the electrical system in my dash board is now exposed to additional hazards due to the additional exposure to the sun.i am filing this incident with the hopes that it will help a recall to be issued.i noticed the first small crack in 2011.i have kept an eye on it over the years and as of today, there are exposed openings in the dash in several places.until today, i thought that i might have just been unlucky, however after doing some research online, it is apparent that i am not alone, and this should be recalled under a manufacturers defect.thank you for taking the time to file this report on my behalf.feel free to email me with additional information as needed.best regards.
Dashboard crashesd near front passanger airbag that may potentially allow moisture intrution into the passanger airbag inflator system
I have a large section of my dash pad broken on the drivers side. I also have a crack on the passenger side. This was not caused from abuse but from inferior materials. It appeared sometime in 2015 with about 130,000 miles on it. I have owned it since new. My concern is in the event of a crash, along with the dangerous takata airbags that i'm still waiting to be replaced, will plastic be sent through the air from airbag deployment?, or will we wait for someone to be injured or killed to get gm to resolve this situation.by the way gm has sent me a recall notice and told me they are waiting on parts. That has been over 3 months ago. I also have another truck for airbag recall.just for the record my wifes 2007 chevy silverado 1500 received a crack in the dash at about 80,000 miles. This is an epidemic but i sure gm will escape again just like in the past. It takes one small fragment in the right place such as an eye to change someones life forever. Just think if it was someone you loved sitting in that truck.
Dashboard cracked in two places.the passenger side cracked on the portion covering the passenger air bag.i am worried that if inflated, the plastic shards will impale any passenger.also the dashboard cracked on the driver side above the instrument cluster.it is beginning to cave it.
Approx 26,000 miles.the chrome handles on the doors, 2 have come loose.i called the chevy/gmc dealer and was told it would be a cost of approx. $125 per door to fix.
Dashboard is cracked in multiple places. One crack is along the passenger airbag and the second is along the drivers side in front of the instrument gluster. The first crack appeared as i was leaving my driveway and the other was while driving down the street. I am worried that the airbag crack could cause sharp pieces of the dash to project in the case of a deployment of the airbag.
Frame at sway bar mount and transmission crossmember rusting away on both sides of truck
Vehicle's airbags did not deploy upon collision with two concrete walls, causing a life threatening tbi and also severe damage to the left arm which resulted in it's inability to control/use below the elbow, and especially the hand. This was due to the brachial plexus injury that was caused when the airbags did not deploy as they were supposed to. I have attached the report from police and insurance company (with photos).
Severely cracked dash.cracked in 5 places.worried what would happen if passenger airbag is ever deployed.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that there was a fracture on the passenger side dashboard along the air bag enclosure up to the windshield. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact was concerned of the location of the fracture and the fact that the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v383000 (air bags). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 36,000.
Bought the truck new in 2008 .after a year to 1 1/2 developed crack in dash in corner by airbag. Had dash replaced under warranty. Dash cracked again within 1 1/2 was out of warranty then and they wanted me to pay a percentage. I refused to pay for there defect
At 35k the drivers side front door actuator failed and was replaced under warranty. At 40k the passenger side door actuator failed. I was told this is a common problem with this vehicle due to defective parts used by gmc. With no ability to open or close the passenger door from the drivers control, a potential safety issue exists. E.g. Unable to prevent an intruder from entering the car at a stop light, or allow a scared child to exit after an accident.
Failure of underbody/frame rust undercoating. The undercoating has completely flaked off the frame of my truck with 90k miles. I am the only owner of this vehicle which has been garaged since day one. The vehicle is also rusting thru from the underside of the hood. I have contacted gmc about this issue both in person & on the phone. They have denied any liability in this matter.
The panels over the rear wheels are both rusting through. Bubbles on the paintas it rust to the surface.truck is not driven during winter snow months it stays in garage over the winter months.surprised it would rust through already. Is there any body warranty for rust before 10 years?
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
The dash board has random hair line cracks throughout that have recently shown up.the vehicle has never been in an accident
Dash board crash all over and by the air bag
Dash pad cracks in both upper corners around passenger side airbag, truck was parked, noticed cracks in morning
The paint is peeling off the truck at the hood and top of the truck. The hood peeled first 2015. The top of the truck may, 2016
Power door lock failed on driver door. You can not open door with out lifting hand latch. This is very dangerous-- meaning you can not open door by door handle-- there is no override like provided on other vehicles. Other door failed 2 months later. Truck locks and unlocks doors when moving shifter from park to drive, there is no program option to delete this option. So you lock and unlock doors every time you shift truck transmission to park or in drive. This is not needed in my case, since you can manually do same.this is manufacture defect and should be recalled.
Took 2008 gmc sierra 1500 4x4 to tire store to rotate tires. They indicated that the lower front ball joints were loose. This truck has 77,000 miles so i was skeptical. Took truck to gmc dealer for service & requested that they check the lower front ball joints. They indicated that the ball joints had one quarter of an inch of vertical play and were indeed loose & needed replacement. I have earlier gmc trucks with over 200,000 miles and have not had worn lower ball joints. I believe that the looseness is due to the ball joint pulling apart. The wear was not side to side as would be expected. I want to repair this defect so as to avoid a catastrophic failure of the front suspension. I want to use oem parts but i am concerned that these ball joints are defective. The gmc dealer advises that even though the truck has a 100,000 mile power train warranty, the ball joints are not covered.
2008 gmc sierra 1500. Consumer writes in regards to thump under the right rear wheel *tgwthe consumer was informed the front differential had a crack in it and the rear middle leaf spring was broken.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500.the contact stated that the tire pressure monitors were displaying the tire pressure readings in reverse order.the vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified.the failure mileage was 28,000.
I have a 2008 gmc sierra 1500 i bought brand new and my dash is cracking severely in two different places! one is right behind the passenger side airbag and is about 1 1/4 inches and the other is on the driver side above the guage cluster and is about 6 inches or more!
Regarding recall for gm 14515b.or nhtsa 14v614i have a 2008 gmc sierra slt with a 5.3 litre engine.my vehicle fails to start and the check engine light is on when brought to the dealer they changed the fuel pump flow control module part 20759945 the same part number that is mentioned in the current recall. I also have same condition mentioned in current recall.but when asked about the recall gym canada customer service and dealer just says there is no recall on my vin but can't explain what vehicles are affected by recall and why.my vehicle falls within the years affected by the recall.i am sending this because i think more vehicles are affected by this recall than originally mentioned.if you could look into this please. I just find it weird how the vehicle experiences the same condition and the same part is affected but for some vehicles it's not a recall.will somebody have to die for this to become a concern.thanks
The dash on both sides of the speaker has cracked through to the air-bag on the passenger side and through several inches of the instrument cluster dash cover on the drivers side.this has progressively gotten worse until the whole assembly vibrates worsening the crack until it appears that if the air bag deployed, pieces of the dash material could disintegrate and injure someone. I've been watching this for about 4 years.this is a product defect and should be covered by the manufacturer.
2008 gmc sierra denali has 2 cracks on the dashboard, one by the airbag and the second over the drivers side dashboard. This is definitely a manufactures defect that gmc is totally ignoring. Does someone have to be maimed or killed before they take reasonable accountability instead of just denying everyone until we go away? we need government intervention to hold them accountable. The dash board rattles and shakes over every little bump!
Cracked dashboard in area around passenger airbag. Could cause debris when or if airbag is deployed. Also cracked above instrument cluster on driver side.
There has been no incident and no failure.i bought this truck new.it has been under recall since the recall first came out.i would like to have my eleven year old truck fixed. Needless to say, i am getting tired of waiting.
Dashboard cracked in the middle. Plenty of complaints online about this and needs to be recalled
I bought a 2008 gmc sierra in february 2016 and upon taking ownership, noticed two cracks in the dash. One is behind the instrument cluster and the other on the left-hand corner of the airbag. The cracked dash pieces could become shrapnel in the event of an airbag deployment. This dash issue is a common and known issue and gm refuses to do a recall.
The dashboard has cracked and there are sharp pieces from the broken parts.
Dash is cracking in several different parts. Could be a safety hazard if vehicle is involved in crash. Shards of plastic may hit vital body parts.
This vehicle was acquired in march, 2016 with an intact dashboard, 142,000 miles on the odometer. Over the last 9 months multiple, penetrating cracks have developed in the top of the plastic dashboard due to cause(s) unknown. This has greatly diminished the structural integrity of the dashboard to the point that at least one top piece of the dashboard is loose due to the cracks. Two cracks are in the center of the dashboard top and one on the right side of the dashboard immediately adjacent to the front passenger airbag. Current miles on the odometer are 146,000. In the event of airbag deployment during a crash, the likelihood is very high that plastic from the dashboard could fracture, become airborne, and result in injury to occupant(s) of the vehicle due to either the normal deployment velocity of the takata passenger airbag, or worse yet if the passenger airbag inflator fails to function as designed and activates with excessive force. This vehicle is subject to recall nhsta #16v381, issued 5/27/2016 for defective front passenger airbag inflators. Further, the vehicle has spent its entire operating life in the "zone a" high absolute humidity region (florida). In and of itself, the cracking dashboard presents a safety hazard during a crash with airbag deployment. However, combined with conditions recorded in recall 16v381, i maintain this combined hazard presents an unacceptable life safety risk. I strongly recommend that the nhtsa immediately initiate an investigation into the cause of the noted dashboard cracks on both gm and gmc gmt900 truck products, and further recommend that a recall action be suggested to general motors corporation on gmt900 vehicles registered in "zone a" to replace defective dashboards. As of this date gm has not completed the recall action under nhsta #16v381 on my vehicle, therefore the accentuated hazard remains unabated.
Cracked dashboard effecting airbag on passenger side. Vehicle stationary at residence in driveway.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500.upon purchasing the vehicle, the contact noticed that the paint job was orange peel.the dealer stated that all the vehicles were painted in that manner.the current mileage was 1,200 and failure mileage was 10.updated 10/14/08. *ljupdated 10/16/08.
The door lock actuators on both driver and passenger doors failed before the truck had 35000 miled on the odometer.
Gm knows there is an issue with the cracked dashboards on 07-13 gm trucks/suvs, but refuses to voluntary recall.if the vehicle is involved in a crash, there is likelihoodthe airbag could either not deploy or if it does, it could catch the crack in the dash and either not deploy properly, or send shrapnel into the driver or passenger.
Here are huge cracks on my dash!! i'm afraid if the air bag comes out it will bust the dash in pieces and there's no telling where it may hit! this is a huge problem in these vehicles and it's insane that y'all not gm will address the issue
Dashboard cracked in two places.the passenger side cracked on the portion covering the passenger air bag.i am worried that if inflated, the plastic shards will impale any passenger.also the dashboard cracked on the driver side above the instrument cluster.it is beginning to cave it.
Dash failure around defective takata airbag and over dash cluster. Brittle plastic will splinter and strike both passenger and driver if airbag deploys. Takata recall has no remedy according to dealer and manufacturing.
Dash cracking near airbag storage and on drivers instrument cluster. This has been a progressive problem starting in january of 2016. Vehicle is garaged on a regular basis.
Takata recall:gmc has known about this issue way to long and still to this date cannot give me a date or time frame when they can fix my issue.this should have already been corrected.the second issue is the epidemic dash cracking that is obviously an engineering issue and gmc should be held accountable to correct this defect in their dashes.my dash cracks are almost identical to thousands of other gmc owners and when there is an obvious flaw, they should correct it. Down at the bottom where is say when did this happen?i know if happened it 2010, but not a specific day or month.
On 04.12.2014 after going to the store, parked under the carport. The time was 10pm. While inside heard a pop sound around 10:15 pm. Went outside and the truck was on fire. Put truck in neutral and pushed it from under the carport, trying to save damage to the house. Fire dept came and put the fire out. The fire warped all the vinyl under the carport. Lucky it didn't catch the house on fire. The fire was worse on the passenger side of the vehicle.
Dash by passenger airbag cracked and dealership replaced 2 years later it's cracked in the same spot
Dash is cracked in the "common place" for these vehicles. Corner above the instrument panel and at the passenger side airbag, the transmission is also a issue, the 3/4 gear packet has went out and the housing inside the transmission is cracked, so it would've broke soon also.
Cracked dash -the dash of my gmc truck has cracked in two places within the last year; one crack by the passenger side airbag and the other above the instrument cluster.this vehicle has always been garage - kept and very well maintained.this is a very common problem as evidenced by online blogs.
Takata recall as reported by gmc since of may 2016 and has not provided a replacement for the dealer in more than 1 year
"gmc dash recall" my 2008 gmc sierra dash is cracking and i looked up the problem on google and it looks like thousands of others have the same problem as me. The dash is cracked in such a way that at a certain angle i can see wires exposed from the airbag cover. I would like to see a recall to fix the cracked dash.
The door actuators on both back seat doors of my crew cab have failed and passengers cannot exit the vehicle nor can the doors be opened from the outside. This failure is intermittent and and unsafe for passengers to exit the vehicle in an emergency. The truck is at the gm dealer being repaired for $670.00 plus tax and shop charges.
My dash has cracked in 2 places!! one being by the airbag. I'm afraid if the airbag deploys debri will be thrown at the passenger!
My dash cracked 5 years ago, i replaced with new from dealer $1000.00 cost and it is now cracked again. In addition i have an outstanding recall on airbags that have been recalled but gm does not have parts to replace. So now i could have shrapnel from airbag and shrapnel from my new $1000.00 dash. Wow gm, get it together and get the airbags in stock and stop using inferior materials on $1000.00 dash boards.
Dash all of a sudden developed crack above the left corner of passenger side airbag and above the driver gauge panel.this is identical to the stories i am reading about other vehicles in this make and model.
Major cracks in dashboard
The upper dash panel cracked after being parked outside.i thought someone broke in and hit it with something, it is cracked down center of instrument panel toward windshield then across to air bag compartment. My fear is that if the air bag that is pending recall information passenger air bag deploys and passengers could be hit by plastic shrapnel. Another concern is a child gets hand or arm injured by simply pressing too hard on flimsy dashboard. I am a 100% service connected combat veteran and need to sell truck to purchase a van for transportation.the cracked dash is hindering the sale at a decent price.the dealer said repair is around $1200 and i don't have that kind of money laying around anyway if i am unable to sell it.
Multiple cracks in dash - by airbag and above instrument console.
Dashboard is completely broken. It started by the airbag area in 2010 and now completely broken in all areas.
Cracks in dash above the airbag and instrument cluster. This is a problem gm is ignoring.
Takata - gm recall 49152 - i received a recall notice dated july 2016 and they still do not have the parts to replace the front airbag inflators.i have called three times to check the status and they still do not have them.
All of my door locks will not open. They started failing one at a time. Now none them work. You can push the remote and hear them trying to work but they don't. Think it might be the actuators for each door.
The dash is cracking in multiple places
The contact owns 2008 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving up an incline at 45 mph, the vehicle suddenly accelerated to speeds exceeding 45mph. Excessive pressure was applied to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired. The failure and the current mileages were 8,600.
The contact owns a 2008 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle lost power. Also, the traction control, service engine, and reduced engine power indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (betten baker buick, 2901 28th st, grandville, mi, 49418, phone number: 616-530-9191) where it was diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The contact was referred to nhtsa. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.
Driving on a rural road in extreme cold. Approx 20 mi / hr. Gas pedal stuck to floor. Threw truck in neutral to slow down & by hand reached down to lift the accelerator from the floor. Incident did not happen again that day. Took to dealership & was told that a new accelerator would be installed.
While slowly backing my 2008 gmc sierra pick-up truck into the garage, the mirror surface contacted the side of the garage, cracking the mirror.insurance company recommended having an auto glass shop replace the mirror, but a small, flimsy plastic clip that had broken on the back of the mirror prevented them from doing so.cut hand on broken mirror surface after removed by glass shop.dealer estimated repair at $213.02.gm corporate refused to acknowledge defect in mirror backing clip and refused any assistance whatsoever (district specialist level referral from owner relations center.i thought that flexible mirror assemblies were supposed to survive minor collisions - a previous gm vehicle (blazer) performed admirably in a 25 mph collision with a chrome f250 truck mirror w/no damage to the blazer mirror or assembly.the gmc "professional grade" (term used very loosely here) truck that i now own won't even stand up to a minor clip on the side of the garage at slow speed.engineering defects are 1) mirror actuator assembly is of poor quality and/or workmanship and 2) mirror assembly moves up slightly when pivoting, which probably contributed to the breakage at such slow speed (was slowly backing up an incline into the garage).apparently, i was not convincing enough to gm that they have a problem with flimsy mirrors - perhaps nhtsa and bbb can be more persuading.all i asked for was that they cover the flimsy plastic actuator and part of the $93 labor quoted for the job by the dealer.the mirror itself i have no qualms paying for.old parts are available on the truck - i plan to drive my nearly new truck "as is" for a while as a symbol of gm's poor quality of workmanship and poor customer service.i also plan on telling as many people as possible about how flimsy gm makes their vehicles and how non-existent their customer support is.
