I purchased a gmc sierra 2015 regular cab from your company representative, aljomaih automotive company in the kingdom of saudi arabia. However, after a few months, i discovered that the vehicle had several defects, and it exposes its users to serious threat.after that, ministry of commerce in kingdom of saudi arabia has made several callsfor users of the same vehicle that they have to check with the representativeto fix the defect for free. However, the representative temporized and evaded, then i had to file a lawsuit against aljomaih automotive company, general motors’s representative in the kingdom of saudi arabia. The court ordered the experts' department to checkthe vehicle by five specialized workshops, and reports were issued unanimously on the following: "the defect in the mentioned vehicle is a factory defect, which was found in all vehicles of the same type and not only the mentioned vehicle". Also, i have submitted report to the court from the general motors website proving that the mentioned vehicle is faulty with three other defects. As well as, all six calls were issued by the ministry of commerce, including the mentioned vehicle, with the chassis number.
My gmc sierra has the rrab recall.vin has already been provided.i asked gmc in a chat (all recorded) if the truck is safe to drive.i explained that i am a disabled veteran.i have numerous issues but one has to do with not having full use of my right hand.i drive with my left and support with my right.i asked them if they though i could safely drive the vehicle knowing that information and they refused to answer uttering that parts are not available and be reassured that when they become available they will call.that truck is my only source of transportation.i need that vehicle to get me to chemotherapy sessions, yes i have cancer too!!!i need to know if the vehicle is safe to drive and if not, what is gmc going to do to fix this issue.i'm sure parts must be available but i doubt that disabled veterans or joe public are not he priority list.i just want it fixed.i don't want song and dances, i've heard enough of that in the military and working for the military.i just need it fixed.is your agency going to step up to the plate and tell them that these vehicles are not safe to drive?i bought a gmc for its reliability and their follow through, gmc clearly doesn't have my 6.will the nhtsa have my 6 or is this just another shafting of a veteran?
Takata airbags deployed after being on dirt trail and reentering onto main road.all 4 wheels maintained contact with road .there was no rolling of the vehicle in any direction.gmc is stating system acted properly as computer shows eminent rollover.the suspected cause is a malfunctioning yaw sensor.gmc since making decision will not return voicemail's (3) nor emails (4)there were myself and 2 other in vehicle at time of incident.
Curtain air bags deployed after loosing traction a bit in the highway also causing seat belts to get locked. Acceleration pedal will get stuck at times. Needed to push brake pedal half ways or more for brakes to kick in. Gm brake recall seems to have fixed that. A/c condenser and compressor continue to fail.

The infotainment screen is very distracting when driving at night.regardless of the system displayed, (radio, phone, or just the clock/off screen),the lighting is too bright.this is extremely distracting to the driver. The dash light dimmer control switch works the dash lights and the infotainment screen.if one were to dim the dash lights so that the infotainment light is low enough to be acceptable, then the dash lights are too low to be effective and used.the infotainment screen should have a separate remote switch knob to control just the infotainment screen. I contacted the gmc customer service #, and they confirmed that this is the way it is designed, and could not be altered or adjusted.clarification on the date of incident and mileage above, as this has occuered since day of purchase.

Power locks not locking all doors. Could be a problemwith a car jacking or child proof locks. On my 3 lock already 42000 miles. I don't feel safe
Truck has 3 problems that can put my family's life in danger. 1- sometimes out of nowhere at low speeds when you turn the steering wheel to make a left or right turn the 'stabilitrac' light flashes in the screen and locks and won't let you turn the steering wheel.at this point you have no control of the steering wheel, it locks and bounces back at you and if you keep trying to turn it,the engine cuts off all power and it stalls, just dies. I almost got read ended a couple of times already due to this problem. Just this morning i was making a right onto a local mcdonald's and the steering wheel locked and the engine died on me. I had to quickly turn it on again and keep going.another time it happen as i was merging into traffic. Very scary!problem number two, i think its just a matter of time before the steering wheel locks on me on high speeds. Sometimes when i'm on the freeway, the same chimes come on when istep on the brakes, the center screens goes black, and the same 'stabilitrac'warning comes on the smaller screen behind the steering wheel. I'm afraid to take it on a winding road for fear that the steering wheel will lock on me cause an accident.3- service brake controllersign and chimes come on ant won't go away. It jus keeps on popping on and on and on and they go away when you turn off the truck, and come on again months or weeks later.i did have it checked at my local dealership.they tested it, sold me new ground and hot wires. It was good for about 4 weeks before the same problems came back again. I did some research on some of the forums and you tube videos and by far i'm the only one with the same problem. Very afraid to cause an accident.
While driving home the other night both headlights failed at the same time.lost both high beam and low beam.tried everything to get them on with no luck.interment panel showed that they were still on.this was very scary and dangerous as i has traveling on a major highway.luckily i had fog light to give me some light to gt off the highway safely.
During night operation with the instrument cluster adjusted to proper brightness the center console lights and most notably, the intellilink screen are dangerously bright. The intellilink screen does not have an independent brightness control from the dimmer. When set to off in an attempt to mitigate the problem, the intellilink screen reactivates with subsystem adjustment, e.g. Temperature adjustment, absolutely destroying night vision of the driver. If adjusting the brightness level to acceptable for the center console lighting and intellilink the instrument cluster is so dim that it requires unsafe levels of driver attention to process the dimly lit information. Dealer verified issue on two service visits but unable to correct per manufacturer. Safety complaint registered by me with gmc infotainment customer support.
Touchscreen interface will randomly select and change settings anything from a radio station to passive lock safety settings.this will happen whenever there is a key in the ignition and the screen is active.happens all the time and is repeatable.touchscreen controls most settings for the vehicle.
While pulling into a parking lot ant a friend apartment i was turning into a parking spot when the truck completely died causing no power steering or braked nearly causing me to hit his neighbors car.
My vehicle is equipped with a driver alert system which notify the driver if the vehicle strays out of its lane or if it approached stopped traffic. This system alerts the driver by either playing an audible tone or by vibrating the seat. The vibration motors in the seat of my vehicle have broken three times due to a pinched wire due to gm's poor design. When the motor breaks, a error is displayed saying to service the driver alert system. This occurred when the vehicle was parked and when it was moving.
I recently purchased a 2015 gmc sierra k1500 slt. I selected the slt for the projector headlights which are not offered on the lower trims for improved lighting. However, the headlights have extremely poor illumination (cannot see off to the side of the road, very dim, poor projection in front) in low or high beam. The headlights are the worst on any vehicle that i have owned over the past 35 years. I almost hit a deer on the road at night, driving 35 mph, because the deer could not be seen in the visible arc of the low beams until too late. The deer was standing on the road fog line. I located a gm document on several truck forums concerning this issue. Original document # 4093100, pit5374 (2/27/2015) and followup document # 4109395, pit5374a (3/9/2015).
Rear window defroster started smoking and created a burning plastic smell. After turning off the rear defroster the rear window exploded/shattered in place. I see there is a recall in canada, but not here. This is happening here and i have read of many others with same issue. Fire and broken glass is not safe and should be addressed
Vehicle had a fire starting in the dashboard area behind instrument cluster i think.it took less than 15 minutes from the smell of and issue to flames visible.i noticed the gauges becoming erratic than the check engine light came on with what felt like the 4 wheel drive kicking in and out followed by the motor running poorly.i pulled over, turned the vehicle off as the smoke started. Than dialed 911.. Trooper was there in 6 minutes with fire department shortly after.i was on a highway traveling about70 mph.there were quite a few potholes as this was winter time.lights were on, cruise was on, heated seats and steering wheel were on, radio was on, phone and laptop were charging ( laptop utilizing 110 outlet in truck).
All screens in vehicle shut off while driving, almost like the vehicle turned off. Then i was giving a service notification the the stabilitrak system.
Rear sliding glass window defogger contacts are smoking and making sizzling noise. Fire hazard. Had to remove fuse number 10 from engine block to prevent auto start from engaging rear defogger in cold weather, or to prevent defogger switch from being engaged by family member. 46k miles 2015 gmc sierra
While parked and idling in a parking lot with passengers in vehicle, there was a sizzling sound followed by a flame flicker observed directly behind the driver's side, rear passenger seat at the bottom of the rear, driver's side glass panel. Shortly thereafter, the rear, driver's side glass panel shattered. My vehicle has rear sliding glass and only the driver's side panel shattered. Smoke and burning smell was noticeable. After online research, i discovered the gm recall #n192220470 related to 159,000 canadian vehicles. My situation matched the description of this recall exactly, but according to gm, my vin# is not included in the recall. My vehicle is currently at my local chevy/gmc dealer for diagnosis and repair, but they don't seem to have much concern about the safety failure and told me the repair is not covered by warranty. To me, this is a serious design flaw and poses a potentially dangerous safety issue.
On numerous occasion the vehicles intierior audio chimes do no alert if doors are open, seatbelts are fastened, or blinkers are working.in 2014 the general motors recall number 14315 addressed this issue but gm states my vin number does not included the vehicles affected even though its exactly as they describe in the recall campaign in 2014. They want me to pay for the diagnostic and repair despite it being a safety issue and a recall they addressed in the past.
When making slight left turns, the truck would flash stabilitrak on the display and the steering wheel would automatically pull out of my hands and make the wheels straighten up. The radio would then go dead and then 5 to 10 seconds later the entire truck would turn off. This happened while driving down the road. This happened on 2 separate occasions with no other warnings. I contacted gmc and they have not given me any type of answer or assistance.
On several occasions all sounds from door chime, radio, onstar, etc. Have failed. Further the paint is beginning to blister from underneath. Gm is denying both problems exist. Gm says the paint issue is due to application of an extreme heat source. Arizona is hot, but not that hot. The sound issue is a safety hazard. The paint issue is typical corporate denial of legitimate claims.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission failed to operate as designed causing the vehicle to sputter and not properly accelerate. Also, the digital speedometer display would not display properly due to a faulty radio. Additionally, the driverā€™s side headlight failed to properly illuminate due to moisture build-up inside the headlight assembly. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. There was no service performed on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.
I was riding on the freeway and someone flagged me down and said you car is on fire.the fire was between the cab and the bed of the truck on 3/22/2017. On 4/11/2017 is began to smell of smoke whenever i crank. The smell is coming through the vents. Also the vehicle will not pass inspection because of the emissions for the past 4 months. I am paying a note on this vehicle monthly and am not able to use it. I can't get it inspected and the registration is out therefore i cannot drive it.
All screen shut off while driving, turning right or left the steering wheel kick to the other side and appear a notification on screen "stabilitrack", almost have a accident because i was on a high volume traffic roadthe problem wet worst after the recall service #n182202780, check other complaint with the same problems: 11118538, 11123815, 11141357,11141855, 11204970,
Remotely started the vehicle this morning and came out to find it smoke filled and the rear defrost on driver's side window was on fire and smoking. It filled car with smoke and shattered the window.
Intermittently losing power steering.stability track light comes on for no apparent reason, headlights dim when applying brakes.
10113356steering wheel kicks/ jerks back and forth. Car shuts down completely. Electronics reset for no reason. Sounds like its known issue, but gm doesn't want to do anything for it.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle lost power and turned off. Also, "lower driver window" appeared on the instrument panel. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continue driving. The failure occurred seven additional times. The vehicle was taken to smail buick gmc cadillac (located at 5116 us-30, greensburg, pa 15601, (724) 798-0320) to be diagnosed, but they were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 53,000.
At slow speeds, mainly when backing and turning wheel when going forward at very slow speed, steering loses power. Also some times hard to turn when vehicle not in motion at all. The last time it happened all interior lights and radio flashed totally off and right back on. I heard a dinging/warning noise and a warning message flashed but went off before i had a chance to read it.
I was towing a camper down rt 422 in butler, pa in my gmc truck when it suddenly caught fire.my wife was following me and alerted me to pull over as quickly as possible. I had no brakes and the gear shifter went straight up without shifting.the doors would also not open while the truck was filling with smoke.i got out using the manual unlock knob and am lucky to be alive. We had about one minute to try to extinguish the flames before it fully engulfed both my truck and camper.i filed a complaint with gmc.by what i am reading online there are many instances of fires and gmc does not seem to provide assistance.this is very unnerving and scary to say the least. I am sad and angry for this situation.this happened through no fault of my own and i lost absolutely everything. I was in the middle of moving to start a new job and lost many work items in my truck as well. I had to delay my start date for work. Now i am responsible for deductables, insurance increases and other items not covered by my insurance.now i have to buy a new vehicle and camper but what will gmc do to help me? probably nothing.
Supposedly the brakes have been fixed for the recall, however, if i am driving as low speeds like in a parking lot, the abs will kick in causing me to not come to a stop when needed.i have almost hit several vehicles due to this issue.i have issues with the radio working, specifically being able to adjust the sound level.i have issues with the mirrors being able to move like they should.both of the electrical issues are permanent, it does not matter if i am parked or driving, they do not work at all.this is by far the worst vehicle i have ever purchased.the brakes have been occurring for years and there was no change when it was brought in for the recall.the most recent issue is now my evap system needs to be fixed.i can only imagine what that will cost to fix on a vehicle that only has 100,000 miles on it.can't wait to get that bill!
Roof antenna leakingafter 2.5 years the roof mount antenna for xm radio started leaking into headliner causes radio to get intermittent signal.leak travels down driver side pillar into dash board which will cause electrical shorting and failure. This problem is due to a faulty design of the antenna.there are thousands of complaints online regarding this problem. Dealer refused to replace at there expense. Contacted gm who also refused to replace it.this was a $60,000 truck less than 3yrs old. It got my attention because i use xm radio and lost reception. There must be many more with this problem who don't even know it because they don't use xm radio. This is a serious problem having a leak traveling down into dashboard what else is affected air bags, lights, brakes etc.the design of this is awful gmc is extremely negligent not recalling on this problem
While driving down the streets, truck loses all electrical power, loses power steering,radio, gauge cluster power and engine dies. Happened several times today. It immediately all comes back on(so far) but could definitely be a safety concern if the conditions were right.

The bulbs in the tail lights corrode in place due to excess road grime (salt, sand, etc.) being splashed up on them. This causes them to burn out prematurely and removal is impossible due to the corrosion of the bulb into the socket. This results in having to replace the entire wiring harness. According to my local gmc dealership (west herr), this is a common problem that gm isn't covering. So, i had to pay for a new wiring harness out of pocket in order to replace one of the tail light bulbs.

As well as having very poor visability, the haedlight bulbs on my truck have blown out 5 times in only two years. There is obviuosly something wrong with something besides the bulbs.i am going broke replacing them. I called the dealer and was told that it would cost me 115.00 an hour just to look at the truck. I would rather give the truck back, than pay to have a problam that is obviously a manufacturing defect, fixed. The lights have went out both while moving, and stationary.
Headlights are very poor (when wet road or in town) cannottell they burning...i have20/20 vision......on slow down does not down shift....cannot accelerate....the starter hangs up on start as if does not fire or no fuel pump
Headlight on the 2015 gmc sierra 1500 slt are terrible.they are the worst of any vehicle i've driven.the problem stems from the poorly designed reflector for the halogen bulb.

Power steering goes out and at time turn truck power off whenever i attempt a slow tight turn like backing into my driveway or making tight turns going into parking lots and/or spaces. Most recently, when attempting a u-turn at a busy intersection, power steering went out and engine died.i had to coast to the side to avoid moving traffic.each time this issue happens i hear 3 dings all my dash & screen lights flash off then on with clicking noises. Dash info changes from speedometer to radio setting. If i look at screen quickly enough when this happens i would sometimes read ā€œrear parking assist unavailableā€¯ or something like that. If air conditioning is on it would turn off then on. Doors will unlock then lock, all this happening simaltaneously while attempting to make a turn
Sierra 2015 rear power window defroster over heated and shatter my driver side rear window. Prior to shattering, i smelled electric wires burning than pop. The vehicle was in motion around 25mph. The rear defroster was not on. It was 30deg outside and clear.
Vehicle was stationary on the street, parked. I entered it, and turned on my front and rear defrosters with the setting on "hi." i turned around and verified that my vehicle had not been hit nor was any damage at all apparent to me. At some point as i sat there with the car idled and the heated air reaching its maximum temperature, i began to smell some foul smell in the cab that i believed was exhaust entering the cabin. I rolled down the window. As i brushed the snow from the front and began to drive away, i heard a noise that i believed was the snow falling from the roof. However, as i rolled away, i noticed a louder-than-normal cabin. Upon looking behind me, i noticed the rear right window within the sliding rear cabin window had blown out. Upon inspecting the area, i noticed that no snow or water was present inside. Given that we had received a lot of snow the previous evening through the morning, had the damage occurred throughout the evening or early morning, there would've been moisture present.

When turning the wheel sharply at low speeds, the power steering suddenly turns off, as well as all other electronics making the vehicle difficult to control and posing a safety risk.
On tuesday, december 20th 2016 at approximately 7:15pm while driving south on new river road in lincoln ri i tried to make a left turn onto a side street. When i turned the steering wheel left it was snatched out of my hands and the steering wheel automatically turned back to center it self. I could not maneuver the vehicle as it rolled up onto the sidewalk where i had to use the emergency brake to force the vehicle from rolling into a tree. The vehicle dic displayed "park assist" and afterwards the vehicle went completely dead...no lights or sounds when i tried turning the key to restart it. Lifted up the hood and all the electronics came back on and vehicle started. Dic prompt displayed "open and then close the driver side window" had vehicle taken to dealer for service.
Has had an issue with accessories flashing off and back on.reported it to a gmc dealer and they were unable to duplicate but said that the battery was bad and most likely what was causing it.it did fine for a while then began doing it again.this time however it caused a loss in power steering and i ended up in the ditch.later it did it in a parking lot and was able to video tape it.took it to the dealer and showed them the video.they were unable to duplicate for 4 days while i was paying for a rental because mine wasn't safe to drive.on the fourth day i provided them with a service bulletin i found that addressed the issue as being a fluctuation in power and for them to check the cables and do a drop load test.they did and it failed.i then had to pay 376.00 to replace them plus having to pay for a rental after asking for a loaner.this is a problem a lot of people are having.just a quick google search makes that plain.gm isn't wanting to admit it.i have the video but i don't think it will allow me to upload it to the form.
Headlights are the worst i've ever seen. Very unsafe to drive and night and extremely bad in the rain.

I purchased my first new vehicle in oct of 2015. I've owned 4 vehicles since i've had my license, 2 dodges and 2 bmws. I chose a truck i've dreamed of having since i was 16. I'm currently 28. I chose the sierra denali. Not only was this my first new vehicle but this was my first truck and my first gm product of my life. Now i'm teetering on it being my last. Through the 14 months i've owned the vehicle (since 4 miles) i've had numerous issues. My front differential has been rebuilt not once but twice. My truck has 45k on it. It has never towed hauled or other wise performed a task requiring it's power other than normal driving. It has been babied. Cleaned washed oil changed tires rotated and 93 octane fill ups. Amongst other issues were the infotainment center freezing. Cvs axle shafts performing erratic along with bucking slamming and noises through the power train. A random leak in the lower oil pan that the dealer said was a manufacturer defect they were aware of. A airbag software safety recall and a shifting driver seat that tends to move a bit during cornering. Now to top all of those issues off in those 14 months i now have a leak the extends out from the edge about 5 inches from the rear windshield all the way from the driver side to passenger side. I'm not in bumper to bumper warranty. I was told 100 dollars and it will be fixed. It shouldn't have to be fixed. None of it should have. I have had less issues in all 4 of my last vehicles put together than this 1 vehicle i have owned for 14 months and i bought it new. This has been a big let down. A disappointment 12 years in the making apparently. One that has more than ruined my day.i honestly don't want this truck. It's scarred for life. That's obvious and not reversible. But now i'm under water on a loan for a truck that's not worth its weight in scrap metal. That's neither right nor fair.
March 2017, at 10,881 miles i accelerated to pass a car, lost power, like it suddenly went into neutral.i tried several gears, multiple times, before being able to finally get the manual gear to get me home.local dealership cleaned upthe transmission ofbroken metal parts. 2,500 miles later, i tried to accelerate after turning into a long driveway, again no power. I tried several gears as before and the manual gear got me to the house.the engine was working and rpms revved, and just like before, felt like it was in neutral. Dealership went above and beyond to try toduplicate the problem. They even checked my truck for the gm recall #14192, nhtsa campaign id # 14v374000, because it was having the same issues. I think that the broken parts found the first time was an incidental finding due to the fact that the problem has happened twice. During all this there has been small electrical issues ie: weak sounding buzzers when i open the door, internal lights either staying on or not coming on at all, and intermittent issues with remote start. My husband bought this truckbrand new in march 2016, 6 weeks before he died, so this truck has a lot of sentiment, however, i am very concerned that this truck is unsafe. The fear of being t-boned in an intersection, or suddenly losing power in 70mph traffic is terrifying! i am moving from sc to wyoming in 6 weeks and am scared to death i am going to have problems.i have reported this to the gm complaint dept. Service case # 83120854028. The only paperwork i have are the service records from the local gm dealership.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the weight of the trailer cord made the cord hang. As a result, the trailer brake became nonfunctional. The trailer could not haul heavy materials and was a hazard to the contact's safety. Also, "trailer brake fail" appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was driven to joe fuoco motor company (741 n 1st st, grand junction, co 81501, (970) 701-4773), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,000. The vin was unknown.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 10 mph, the vehicle stalled and completely lost power. The vehicle was taken to joe basil chevrolet (5111 transit rd, depew, ny 14043, (716) 683-6800) where the contact was informed that a negative battery cable needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the dealer was not sure if it would remedy the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 29,597.
Has had an issue with accessories flashing off and back on.reported it to a gmc dealer and they were unable to duplicate but said that the battery was bad and most likely what was causing it.it did fine for a while then began doing it again.this time however it caused a loss in power steering and i ended up in the ditch.later it did it in a parking lot and was able to video tape it.took it to the dealer and showed them the video.they were unable to duplicate for 4 days while i was paying for a rental because mine wasn't safe to drive.on the fourth day i provided them with a service bulletin i found that addressed the issue as being a fluctuation in power and for them to check the cables and do a drop load test.they did and it failed.i then had to pay 376.00 to replace them plus having to pay for a rental after asking for a loaner.this is a problem a lot of people are having.just a quick google search makes that plain.gm isn't wanting to admit it.i have the video but i don't think it will allow me to upload it to the form.
Truck has 3 problems that can put my family's life in danger. 1- sometimes out of nowhere at low speeds when you turn the steering wheel to make a left or right turn the 'stabilitrac' light flashes in the screen and locks and won't let you turn the steering wheel.at this point you have no control of the steering wheel, it locks and bounces back at you and if you keep trying to turn it,the engine cuts off all power and it stalls, just dies. I almost got read ended a couple of times already due to this problem. Just this morning i was making a right onto a local mcdonald's and the steering wheel locked and the engine died on me. I had to quickly turn it on again and keep going.another time it happen as i was merging into traffic. Very scary!problem number two, i think its just a matter of time before the steering wheel locks on me on high speeds. Sometimes when i'm on the freeway, the same chimes come on when istep on the brakes, the center screens goes black, and the same 'stabilitrac'warning comes on the smaller screen behind the steering wheel. I'm afraid to take it on a winding road for fear that the steering wheel will lock on me cause an accident.3- service brake controllersign and chimes come on ant won't go away. It jus keeps on popping on and on and on and they go away when you turn off the truck, and come on again months or weeks later.i did have it checked at my local dealership.they tested it, sold me new ground and hot wires. It was good for about 4 weeks before the same problems came back again. I did some research on some of the forums and you tube videos and by far i'm the only one with the same problem. Very afraid to cause an accident.
Intermittently losing power steering.stability track light comes on for no apparent reason, headlights dim when applying brakes.
When braking and turning at low speeds the vehicle stalls with service stabilitrak warning.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 19v761000 (electronic stability control, service brakes, hydraulic, service brakes). The contact took the vehicle to finnegan chevrolet buick gmc (26529 southwest fwy, rosenberg, tx 77471, (281) 342-4200) to be serviced for the software update. After the contact had the vehicle repaired per the recall, while driving at a low rate of speed, the brakes failed to operate without warning. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a faulty brake vacuum pump. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist because the vehicle was previously repaired per the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 65,000.
The vehicle is stalling when braking and getting ready to turn.my truck is showing stabilitrak service intermittently and i've almost been in a crash 3 times because of this.the vehicle only restarts after placing in park.this is not safe when in traffic.there seems to be no recalls and no known cause.someone is going to die if gm doesn't fix this. I've been on forums and it's a common problem.it should be fixed by gm if it is so common.this happens when approaching cross traffic at an intersection and i lose all control of steering braking and power to the truck.
While at low speed and at stops while turning the wheel the entire dash and engine cut off and come back on. The steering also locks up to a point of not turning either way. All incidents happened on a very smooth flat road. This put my life in danger on one occasion while turning on a highway where my entire truck shut off mid turn.i have video of this occurring on my phone if you would like to reach out to me for that. I believe this to be a stabiltrac issue, one of gmc's traction control branding things. I have seen this issue all over google while searching it and it needs to be recalled! i would like to know if this will happen.
All screen shut off while driving, turning right or left the steering wheel kick to the other side and appear a notification on screen "stabilitrack", almost have a accident because i was on a high volume traffic roadthe problem wet worst after the recall service #n182202780, check other complaint with the same problems: 11118538, 11123815, 11141357,11141855, 11204970,
All screens in vehicle shut off while driving, almost like the vehicle turned off. Then i was giving a service notification the the stabilitrak system.

Loss of power steering assist, steering wheel jerks or kicks back when turning, messages with warning chime appear on instrument panel which also goes blank or inoperative, engine stalls and dies. This happens while vehicle is in motion on city street or hwy i10 (in bumper to bumper traffic) and when turning or backing up into a parking spot.this has happened before but more recently lately (at least once a day since 9/16 -9/18/2017)
Brake pedal or that increased effort is needed to depress the brake pedal. Also, in some cases a tick or ticking noise may be heard, which may sound like an exhaust manifold leak.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While an independent mechanic was inspecting the vehicle, the contact was informed of a radiator leak. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to goodwin chevrolet brunswick (located at 195 pleasant st, brunswick, me 04011, (866) 675-8244) where it was diagnosed that the radiator and air conditioner condenser needed to be replaced.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 107,000.
Made 1 trip out of state to visit my son and to carry him a bedroom suite. I live in ga. And he lives in tenn. When i returned i noticed fluid under the truck. Called dealer in brunswick ga. They said to bring the truck then. When truck was put on rack, found engine heads were faulty. Had to order new heads, then had to machine heads when arrived. Also transmission down shifted extremely hard in hills of north ga. To the point of engine rpm 4500. Contacted gmc complaint dept. But as of 6/2/15 no help.
Violent and erratic shifting during acceleration and deceleration... A simultaneous pop and jerk happens... Also when accelerating and hitting passing gear the truck seems to stall out and then quickly engages to apply more power than expected... This can be dangerous for a driver attempting to merge onto highways/highways! the jerking occurs on a regular basis and at various speeds on various highways...

Air conditioning system failure.vehicle was taken to the dealership for other recall related service.i further requested they check the hvac, as it stopped working approximately 3 weeks ago.i had it recharged once, and the charge failed to hold.the gmc dealership in mobile, al explained they have received a large number of complaints about failures occurring to the ac system.he explained it centers around failure of a weld in the coils.he stated the repair costs approximately $1,300.00 at the dealership...he was discounting the cost to $950.00 to compete with the local vehicle ac shop which charges approx $800.00 for the same service.he advised he was not aware of a recall for the problem and further advised he was surprised gm hadn't recalled, as it's a known problem with the system.i am filing a formal complaint in hopes others have done the same, as gm should be responsible for correcting this failure.
Hvac - no ac cold air.

I took vehicle to dealer for test drive for trade in purposes and was informed that my radiator leaked and it was a problem with 2015gmc sierra and needed replacing for $1400. There is a recall for same problem with 2014 year but not 2015 and this should be corrected because it is a known defect and consumer should not have to pay for defective part.
Ac blowing warm air - may have a condition where thermal cycling on the combination transmission fluid/oil and ac condenser cooler creates a crack that may allow refrigerant to escape. This condition consequently may deactivate the ac system.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the air conditioner was not functioning properly. There were no warning indicators illuminated.

The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The failure mileage was 78,000. The vin was invalid.*as
Radiator forms stress cracks from constant thermostat cycling. The resulting cracks cause the radiator to leak. Gm has issued special coverages for certain models but doesn't acknowledge it is a very common problem on other models outside the coverage.

The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving and turning into a shopping center, the entire vehicle shut off, including the engine, electrical system, and instrument panel. The steering wheel also seized along with the windows. When the contact stopped and restarted the vehicle, the control panel and odometer display delayed to show the correct reading and the clock had to be reset. The display instructed the contact to roll the window down and back up. The contact had to wait several minutes to get power to restart the vehicle. The failure had occurred three times every three months. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drive home. The vehicle was taken to regal gmc (2615 lakeland hills blvd, bldg 3, lakeland, fl 33805, (863) 262-4222) for a recall repair. The dealer was unable to locate any failure codes. The contact was informed to schedule another appointment. The manufacturer assigned a case number to the contact and stated that an urgent senior representative would call the contact back. The failure mileage was 25,000. The vin was unknown.
Purchased truck new 37 months ago, has 938 hours on the engine and 47500 mostly highway miles. No accidents.according to the dealer there is a small leak in the radiator, top right side(from the driver's seat), cost to repair $1200.
I have noticed over the last few weeks i am losing radiator fluid. Its slow but noticeable. Engine temperature rises and fan stays on. My 2015 gmc sierra 1500 only has 50,150 miles on it, and started well under 50,000. It looks like the leak is from upper contact points of radiator and frame. I have come to find out that gmc has put a notice out on this issue and put a recall/repair out on the 2014 gmc sierra 1500 for the same issue. Its a know defect. ( i will attach copies )i went to the dealer and was told they would fix the 2014 but have not issued a fix for the 2015. "not enough complaints"?its a very expensive fix for a known manufactured defect but gmc (and chevy trucks) want more complaints.... So here is my filing. Kind of a silly game they are playing when they know it should be a recall issue.
2015 gmc sierra has a delay throttle response.does it at all speeds and from take off. Took to dealer and service advisor pulled truck in shop. Got out and said it does have a delay. The ran vin number through gmc data base and told me. Manufacture said it was a normal thing.it's not normal and never had a vehicle with a throttle delay.
It has a problem with cycling of the thermostat that causes stress fractures on the radiator leading to coolant leaks.attached are gm bulletins on the 2014 and 2015 models.as one can see they have provided special coverage.my radiator is leaking just like the service bulletin says.this needs to berecall.
While driving down the streets, truck loses all electrical power, loses power steering,radio, gauge cluster power and engine dies. Happened several times today. It immediately all comes back on(so far) but could definitely be a safety concern if the conditions were right.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle lost power and turned off. Also, "lower driver window" appeared on the instrument panel. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continue driving. The failure occurred seven additional times. The vehicle was taken to smail buick gmc cadillac (located at 5116 us-30, greensburg, pa 15601, (724) 798-0320) to be diagnosed, but they were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 53,000.
Power steering goes out and at time turn truck power off whenever i attempt a slow tight turn like backing into my driveway or making tight turns going into parking lots and/or spaces. Most recently, when attempting a u-turn at a busy intersection, power steering went out and engine died.i had to coast to the side to avoid moving traffic.each time this issue happens i hear 3 dings all my dash & screen lights flash off then on with clicking noises. Dash info changes from speedometer to radio setting. If i look at screen quickly enough when this happens i would sometimes read ā€œrear parking assist unavailableā€¯ or something like that. If air conditioning is on it would turn off then on. Doors will unlock then lock, all this happening simaltaneously while attempting to make a turn
My ac conditions developed a pin hole leak along the seam/braze.
When i was driving my truck off the highway onto the main road where i was going i noticed there was an issue with my truck. After coming to a stop at a red light once it turned i accelerated and suddenly felt a jerk from the truck and heard a loud whistling noise. It did this multiple times about 5-6 time every time i would accelerate from a speed of 30-40. I decided to drop it off at my local gmc to get it looked at. They called me the next day to pick it up since they ran it through diagnostics and didn't find an issue with the vehicle. Once i got there i demanded for the mechanic to come drive the truck with me to see what the issue was and they decided they needed to keep it for a couple of days to get it looked at. They then called two days after and said that the transmission was messed up and needed a new one totaling the cost to $5346.07 which is certainly not something we can afford right now! i don't understand how they didn't see the issue the first time they diagnosed it?? this is something that needs to get recalled i have seen many similar issues.
Takata recall. I recently called the dealership where they confirmed multiple calls on the ac condenser leaking freon. We have two 2015 gmc sierras with the same leak. A service center employee/mechanic at bob brockland in columbia il verified multiple complaints.
Steering electrical assist fightback, driving,turning resulting in no steering-deadly! this can happen at any time while driving. Very dangerous! engine must be shut off and restarted before you can get out of street. Then message reads "lower driver window then raise" before proceeding.
When making slight left turns, the truck would flash stabilitrak on the display and the steering wheel would automatically pull out of my hands and make the wheels straighten up. The radio would then go dead and then 5 to 10 seconds later the entire truck would turn off. This happened while driving down the road. This happened on 2 separate occasions with no other warnings. I contacted gmc and they have not given me any type of answer or assistance.
I only have 57,000 miles on my truck, which is why i am reporting this. The truck turns off completely. I have been going to make a right/left turn and the truck shuts down completely. I have no power steering and limited brakes. This has happened to me twice now. I am lucky enough that i am strong enough to turn the truck without power steering otherwise i would have hit vehicles both times this happened. There has to be some type of electrical flaw that is making this happen. I want to get this resolved before my insurance company has to get involved because i am in a car accident. If this is something the manufacturer takes care of that would be great, otherwise i would just like to know if someone else has had this issue and has found the resolution.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra. While driving low speeds, the vehicle violently vibrated and made an abnormal noise. Also, the stabilitrak and check engine indicators illuminated. The contact mentioned that the check engine indicator periodically illuminated and flashed. Also, while driving, extra force was needed to depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to boulevard buick gmc (2800 cherry ave, signal hill, ca 90755, (562) 492-1000) where the contact was informed that the vehicle misfired and the entire engine needed to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.
I bought this truck new in 4/2106 and there is a clicking sound when engine is running. Is this normal?
When i first got the truck the brakes operated perfectly fine after about three days the brakes on the front of the truck would lock upwhile i was driving and would not release.after two sets of calipers two sets of brake pads a set of rotors atwo weeks go bywith the mechanic trying to figure out what is wrong with this truck. They then replace the brake master cylinder, there was no improvement.turns out to be the brake booster had failed along with the hydraulic abs control unit.there were no warning lights on whatsoever the whole entire time the brakes were locked up the abs light didn't come on until the brake booster was replaced indicating that the abs control unit was also bad.now i am experiencing a ticking coming from the engine.the ticking occurs at idle end as the throttle is being activated.however the local dealership has refused to give me any information as of why it could be making this ticking noise or is just unwilling to say anything .
This complaint is regarding excessive surface rust on not only the frame of my truck, but on critical engine component clamps in the engine bay.any screw style hose clamp in my engine bay are rusted worse than my other 9 year old car with 102,000 miles on it.i wash my truck, including undercarriage, periodically throughout the winter to try and keep the salt off.my truck is a 2015 with 40,000 miles, and just recently, the rust had completely eaten through the lower radiator hose clamp causing all the engine coolant to leak out.i noticed the rest of the clamps within the engine bay to be in the same condition, along with the frame, and suspension components.it is clearly only a matter of time before they fail while i am driving, which could cause a failure of any system using one of these rusted clamps, such as the brake lines, power steering lines, oil lines, or transmission fluid lines.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated while the vehicle was being serviced at the local dealer, he was informed that the radiator had a leak and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the air conditioning failed. The contact called gay buick gmc at (832) 769-4379 (located at 3033 gulf fwy, dickinson, tx 77539) and was informed that they were aware of the failure, but there were no recalls. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was later taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the condenser was fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer stated that there were no recalls and provided case number: 8-4727896957. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.
The air conditioning went out suddenly, just after the warranty expired. After research, this is an issue known to gm as they are currently subjects in proposed class-action lawsuits in 2 states regarding this defect.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the air conditioner failed to function. The vehicle was taken to varney buick gmc mazda (located at 260 hogan rd, bangor, me 04401, (866) 240-4451) where it was diagnosed that the condenser needed to be replaced due to a crack. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer stated that the vin was not included in a recall and referred the contact to nhtsa. The approximate failure mileage was 55,911.
The illumination performance of the headlights on my 2015 gmc sierra is unsatisfactory for driving on rural roads. The performance is also subpar in foggy and wet conditions. I feel that i am unable to drive safely at the posted highway speeds using the current headlights provided by the automaker. I feel that it is a safety hazard and could possibly contribute to hazardous driving situations at night. I also feel that it could cause a potential accident due to the poor visibility at posted highway speeds.
Can't drive at night very poor visibility is so danger driving over freeway at night the rod disappear because the low bean can't illumine the rod now all the time i have todrive with hig bean but still not enough light and illumination to be focus on the rodis vey danger driving this truck with thistruck factory problem
My 2015 gmc sierra has dangerous headlights, they do not beam more than 30 feet ahead and they are very dim.
Projector style headlights that came factory are too dim making it very difficult to drive at night and unsafe.lights are now powerful enough to light up the road.
Headlights are dangerous!they produce a very narrow straight ahead light pattern. We live where there are a lot of deer and you can't see them on the side of the road. Any curve in the road and you're blind till you get around it. On a aiming board they produce a narrow vertical band of light, if you mark the horizon you find thathalf the light is shing up in the air. (they light up the tops of trees real nice)because of the 1 bulb design if you adjust them down to get the high beams on the horizon the low beams will only illuminate about 20 feet out. It is just not safe driving this truck in the country at night. Gm tried a brighter bulb but the improvement was very minor. The problem is the lense and shutter design.
I own a 2015 gmc sierra. I believe the headlights are too dim. A few days after purchasing my truck new off the lot i missed turning on my street (that i have lived on for 3 years) because i was not able to see the sign or the road properly. I ended up in my neighbor's ditch. Luckily there was no damage, but i don't feel safe driving at night on familiar roads due to the insufficient amount light the headlights produce. This occurred while driving after dark on a residential road with 35 mph speed limits. There was not any additional street lighting around to provide supplemental lighting.
Operated truck for the first time in a rural area at night yesterday. Low beams provide inadequate light brightness and reach. No appropriate lateral lighting. Oncoming traffic "washed out" my lighting. Can not exceed 30mph without jeopardizing safety. These headlamps are dangerous on low beam. High beams were sufficient. The lights are a hazard to the traveling public at large.
Headlights on this vehicle are useless,can't see driving at night and always feel like i'm overdriving the lights even though i'm not even at the speed limit!
Headlights are a mfg defect and this truck is extremely dangers to drive after dark
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the headlights failed to activate. As a result, the contact's visibility was diminished. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician stated that the headlights were functioning as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 420.
I leased a 2015 gmc pickup and after driving it at night found that the head lights are very poor and they provide very little visibility on low beam.i took it to the dealership and the answer is to change a bulbs i was told at the dealership that i would most likely not even notice a difference.they are correct the lights are still at a point that it is dangerous to drive the truck at night.there is a service bulletin on these trucks so they are stillbeing sold off the lot and they are dangerous.if you would take the time to drive one at night you might have a better idea of what people are talking about. If i can i am going to get rid of this truck as fast as i can since gmc does not seem to want to actually fix the problem.it is only a matter of time before somebody is killed due to this problem.i only wish something would be done before the deaths start to happen.
Headlights are terrible at night.very unsafe on dark roads.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra. The contact stated that while driving at night or in inclement weather, the headlamps luminescence was not adequate for safe driving. The contact stated that the headlamps were extremely dim. The contact stated that he pulled off of the roadway several times due to the headlamp failure. The vehicle was taken to lone star chevrolet (18900 northwest freeway, houston, tx 770650, and was diagnosed. The contact was informed that the vehicle operated as intended. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was then informed that the vehicle was outside of the 36,000 mile warranty. The failure mileage was 106,000.
Headlights: you can not drive this truck after dark because the headlights are unsafe.when on low beam there is a black spot from about 3 feet up and there is no side light.this makes it imposable to see curbs, street signs, stop signs, humans and animals on the side of the road street or highway
I have a 2015 gmc sierra pickup truck, purchased new in february 2015.as soon as i drove the vehicle at night, i noticed that the headlights were very dim on both low beam and high beam.after researching the problem on the internet, i found a gm technical service bulletin (#pit5374) , which instructs the tech to replace both headlight bulbs, and to increase voltage to the headlights via the body control module.i had the dealer perform this tsb in june of 2015, but since the upgrade, the performance of the headlights is only slightly better. The truck is uncomfortable to drive at night, and especially dangerous to drive at night in the rain.in addition, one of the new headlight bulbs blew last week, but the gmc dealer replaced it under warranty once he located a bulb at another dealership in town.
Headlights are inadequate on high or low beams. It seems that the light is focused into two narrow beams in an effort to make up for the low lumen level of the led bulbs. These narrow beams don't light up enough of what is in front of you for night driving.i have to use my fog lamps to turn onto streets without street lights on the corner.the recirculating switch for the ventilation system will not even reduce the amount of outside air coming into the cabin, much less occlude it.not good in 5 o:clock traffic or when your behind a diesel burner.the dealership acts like they are clueless and say everything is working as it should.after reading this form with so many headlight complaints, i asked if they had ever gotten any complaints like mine and they denied that they ever have; and they did it with a straight face!
Headlight illumination extremely poor. Even after tsb bulb replacement was completed on vehicle, low and high beam illumination is unsafe and unacceptable.
While the head lights and fog lights are on, the right head and fog lights are dim but the left head and fog lights are bright. Also the right turn signal shows error message on the cluster that the bulb needs to be replaced and you can hear it blinking fast, but when i exit the vehicle to inspect the signal i notice that it is not blown and it works fine but i still get the error message and the fast blinking. Both stated problems occur while the vehicle is stationary and when the vehicle is in motion.
Loss of power steering assist, steering wheel jerks or kicks back when turning, messages with warning chime appear on instrument panel which also goes blank or inoperative, engine stalls and dies. This happens while vehicle is in motion on city street or hwy i10 (in bumper to bumper traffic) and when turning or backing up into a parking spot.this has happened before but more recently lately (at least once a day since 9/16 -9/18/2017)
Poor quality headlights, very difficult to not "over drive" the projected range of headlights.in reality, you should probably never drive over 35 mph after dark. It is impossible to see anything in the rain.
I have driven many vehicles in my lifetime and these are the worst headlights i have experienced. A very short cutoff and worst of all, no side illumination.i am almost afraid to drive it at night and god help you if it is night and raining.
I am in receipt of the paperwork concerning the above claimed for my vehicle. The paperwork in my possession clearly states that farmers insurance has made me aware that my vehicle 'has been determined to be a total loss'. I am concerned about these findings since it seemed my vehicle only suffered minor damages to the exterior only. Airbags where not deployed nor any windows shattered.i am also in receipt of the paperwork concerning my claim and determining i am 51% at fault towards the accident. I clearly gave my side of the story to the police office that my steering wheel had locked and i was unable to maneuver the vehicle. I was not under the influence of any drugs so i feel mechanical failure should be assessed.supplemental information was also sent to me where it clearly states recall notices for my vehicle. Recall notice nhtsa campaign id # 14v719000, dated by the manufacturer november 10, 2014 states a recall notice naming the steering as the component needing to be replaced. I never received any information from the manufacturer gmc/chevrolet concerning this matter. Upon review of this letter, please also take into consideration the recalls that you have provided me and reconsider pursuing of subrogation from a third party, i.e. Gmc/chevrolet manufacturer.
The head lights are inadequate for night driving.both low and high beams do not light up enough area in front of the vehicle nearly as good as previous model years.the projector style lights are too focused and do not give enough light to the sides to see adequately down the road.gm is obviously aware of the issue and performed a bcm update to my vehicle to make the lights brighter but that fix still doesn't resolve the issue.2016 model years have a completely different headlight allowing those trucks to see much better at night which tells me they are aware of the lighting issues and fixed it for the 2016 gm trucks.
The performance of the gmc headlights seems to be way below par. This truck has the worst headlights i have ever owned. In my opinion this is a safety hazard to myself and the public.
Headlights on this vehicle are unacceptable you cannot see anything past 100 feet at 35 mph on a dark street. This is a known problem with the sierra.
At highway speeds the vehicle low beam headlights do not provide sufficient illumination to operate in a safe manner. This lack of lighting results in an avoidably unsafe practice of overdriving the headlights. The headlights should illuminate far enough in front so that is not possible to overdrive your lights at normal highway speeds.
On the night of 11/04/2016 we almost hit a person that was not visible to us because of inadequate factory headlights on all gmc 1500 trucks. We have had our truck in for warranty complaint on these light, and after 3 dealers in 3 different state the fix they use does not correct the problem. And now gm customer relations e- mail me and state they have done all they can do and closes our claim. Nhtsa needs to look into this asap before some one is killed, i am now afraid to drive this truck after dark
The headlamps on my vehicle have been very poor, both in low and high beam positions ever since i purchased the vehicle.thinking that their must be something wrong with the existing headlamps, i purchased the replacement bulbs and there were no improvements. When driving at night i have to stay on low beam with the fog lights on just to help to see. I can't use my high beams at all because the lighting is so poor. Gmc is aware of their headlamp issues on the 2014 and 15 models but nothing is being done about it to my knowledge. Without spending $500-$1000 to change them over to led, is there anything that i can do to improve this situation?
Headlights are so dim that i can't see down the road far enough to see if there would be anything in the road. Have repeatedly asked dealer about this, and was told they were aware of the problem but there was no plan to fix it. On rainy nights it's as if i have no headlights at all.
The headlights do not illuminate the road properly. You cannot see left or right, only straight ahead. Also the brightness is very low.dangerous to drive at night.
When exiting from one highway to another in heavy traffic were breaking was required, my trucks power steering and power brakes had completely gone out. I was on a straight track for a highway patrol who was standing outside his vehicle along with another motorist. After fighting to steer the truck while trying to brake to avoid hitting other motorists i realized that the truck had also died. Shook up and scared i started the truck and began to drive away with the officer yelling what the hell are you doing. The truck has done this several times. Three of which almost resulted in an accident. It has been in the dealership were they told me it was a high resistance in the negative battery cable which was replaced and resulted in no change.
The headlights on my 2015 gmc serria 1500 slt are unsafe. The headlights do not light to the sides adequitely and this is very apparent when making a turn at night. I have also read about this same headlight safety concern on several websites posted by other owners.
I purchased this vehicle in june of 2015.the headlights in this vehicle are absolutely terrible and extremely unsafe.night time driving is very difficult and unnerving because the headlight performance is so poor.if driving at night and it starts raining, forget it.i have taken the vehicle to the dealer a half dozen times and they performed 1tsb which made almost no noticeable difference.
Projector-style headlamps on 2015 gmc sierra provide inadequate illumination-even after manufacturer service bulletin was performed, still very unsafe to drive at night in area with no street lights-literally no side illumination, and distance in front of vehicle is not illuminated adequately.gmc (gm) changed headlamp design in 2016 to correct this, but has offered no assistance to owners of 2014-15 vehicles.i've had several close calls with deer at night due to such poor lighting.my previous, 10 yr. Old truck had better headlights!hopefully something can be done to correct this issue. Complained to dealer, to gmc customer service, now what?seems the manufacturer has no plans to help. Headlamp design was poor, only uses a single halogen bulb for high & low beam.
Headlights are very dim, hard to see at night especially when it is raining. Must use fog lamps at all times to be able to improve vision. Contacted gm and dealer about issue, have claim number. They say truck is no longer under warranty to do anything.
As well as having very poor visability, the haedlight bulbs on my truck have blown out 5 times in only two years. There is obviuosly something wrong with something besides the bulbs.i am going broke replacing them. I called the dealer and was told that it would cost me 115.00 an hour just to look at the truck. I would rather give the truck back, than pay to have a problam that is obviously a manufacturing defect, fixed. The lights have went out both while moving, and stationary.
Can't see at nite and worse during rain. It's like a 5 cell flash lite set on the small narrow setting stead of the flood setting. Also can't see wild life that are standing near the white line of the shoulders at nite. Tunnel vision light. Very dangerous, please find a cure. Already had gmc's upgraded bulbs.
The headlights in this vehicle are unsafe. The are dim and only project out a short distance and very little to the periphery. There is also a dark line in the field of view where above it is dark and below is dull light. I have contacted my local gm dealership and the solution was to upgrade the light bulbs which they did. The problem still exists. I escalated it to gm customer service and they tell me there is nothing they can do. This is a very unsafe condition.
The 3rd brake light allowed rain to enter the cab of truck.(gasket failed) headliner, carpet on floor, insulation all ruined. Diagnosed by a "water doctor" at the dealer where truck was purchased. The floor on the passenger front was soaked, headliner is stained. I removed all seats, carpet, insulation and the smell is still there. Called gmc to try to get assistance on repairs. Truck is out of factory warranty. Gmc offered $585 leaving a balance of $1300 to be paid by me to replace the headliner. How is it that the 3rd brake light allows rain to enter the cab of the vehicle. Itemized estimate from dealer to replace and put truck back together is $4500-$5000. Money that i don't have. This is a poor design. Did not know/realize that a gasket would fail and allow water to leak inside. The truck is parked in our driveway or on the street. I do not have a garage.i started taking the seats and carpet out the last week of december 2020. Over the next few weeks insulation was removed. The moldy/musty smell remains. Gmc was contacted approximately the last of january or the first week of february 2021. I am still in talks with them. Aaron, case manager at gmc with whom i have been dealing. He is trying to figure out someway to give me assistance in getting my truck back together. I don't know how long it has been leaking before i started smelling the musty odor.
Head lights are dim both high and low beam .in traffic at night in the rain on the highway can not see lanes .side vision there is none .on hilly back roads vision is limited .low beam you go in a dip lights are in the ground going up other side lights are in the trees. High beams are in the tree tops .only 1 bulb adjust is limited.
Gmc upgraded the headlamps as a "fix" for the extremely poor side and forward illumination by the vehicle.the "fix" is still such a poor excuse for headlamp illumination that we keep from driving the vehicle at night as a "safety" reason.the poor performance continues and the dealership has exhausted what gmc/gm is willing to do and is not the dealerships problem but gm's. I would send a photo of the poor headlight performance but you can't see it as it was on a rainy night and the headlamps then are even worse. What a poor excuse for a fix.gmc/gm fixed the issues in the 2016 and 2017 but due to the cost of reworking the trucks they sold in 2014 and 2015 they hide behind the sorry fix they make the dealers try to make the customers go away.
2015 gmc sierra sle / 60k miles / projector headlights...numerous complaints from numerous others, i'm in the same boat. Illumination in general, driving in rural areas, driving in inclement weather, making turns (side streets), etc., is horrible, unsafe, nerve-racking and troublesome. Sure, the headlights look snazzy, but perform about as well as my lawn tractor's headlights. I see there's a tsb regarding the situation and, much to my dismay, i have to pay for said parts/labor to correct an obvious design flaw/snafu. Am i crazy for thinking this is unacceptable? even more shocking, it appears the bcm reprogramming (marginal results) and lamp replacement isproblematic (increased voltage to a bulb/lamp shortens its life considerably). A vehicle that costs 30-40-50k should not have garbage technology. On the plus side, at 48 years young, my vision remains 20/20 and i do not require vision correction. The wife, my 2 kids (of driving age) and my neighbor concur - these headlights suck. I love everything else about the vehicle, but it looks like instead of spending $200 for the tsb, i'll try my luck with aftermarket replacements for $300. Via multiple online vehicle forums, most who've gone the route of tsb are marginally impressed and everyone electing to go with aftermarket is completely satisfied...that alone shines a spotlight on the lack of visibility both the nhtsa and gm are providing the consumer. Maybe instead of paying suits millions per year to produce subpar vehicles, gm should do the right thing and focus on what matters most -- the paying customer. Yeah, we have a better shot with the nhtsa holding gm accountable and force them into a recall (correcting the problem properly, not a willy nilly reprogram and bulb replacement).
When driving in rural areas at night headlights only illuminate out about 100 feet in front of the vehicle creating a black line with almost no visibility above the line and extremely limited side visibility which creates a significant problem when turning in either direction at an intersection and makes it difficult to spot animals, pedestrians or bicyclists.
The headlights on this truck are so poor, we hate driving it at night!i have taken it to the dealership, and they did an "upgrade" of different bulbs and changed the voltage.this was of little help.now, one of the upgraded bulbs has already gone out of my less than one year old truck.
The headlights on these trucks are dim to the point of being dangerous. I've had the dealer update performed, and have even tried aftermarket bulbs, to no avail. I am going to have to trade it in i'm afraid as i do not feel safe driving it after dark. Gm really dropped the ball on this design, and have left thousands of owners "in the dark".
Bought a new 2015 sierra in jan 2016,after i bought it i drove from new brunswickto manitoba and it was the scariest night drive i have ever had (over 30 years of experience )the low beams were dim and had no useful light pattern, and high beam just lit up the tops of trees and signs, driving through ontario's twisty hwy.i almost went off the road many times ,due to the poor lights you will corner with out being able to see till your straight and the light hits the road again. When i arrived in manitoba i took the truck to a dealership ,where they replaced my bulbs ,flashed the bcm and a lined the lightsthe light is a little better but still not safe as they still don't project much light pattern. I can't see street signs only the bottom of the poles. And highs still point to the sky with no more road light. Returned to new brunswickand brought it to the dealership to have it looked at again,and the suggest the same fix as what the manitoba dealer just did. Still cannot drive safe at night.
The headlights are dangerous!low beams with fog lights on are adequate for <45 mph.anything faster and you can't see far enough ahead.forget using the high beams. On dimly lit highways,you can't see in front on the vehicle. The high beams don't illuminate the road so it's safer to use the low beams and hope the 100ft visibility will allow you to slow slightly before killing whatever human/animal/obstacle presents itself.this truck is too dangerous for my family without a retrofit.
Headlights are poor.low and high beams do not illuminate the road effectively in rural areas
The bulbs in the tail lights corrode in place due to excess road grime (salt, sand, etc.) being splashed up on them. This causes them to burn out prematurely and removal is impossible due to the corrosion of the bulb into the socket. This results in having to replace the entire wiring harness. According to my local gmc dealership (west herr), this is a common problem that gm isn't covering. So, i had to pay for a new wiring harness out of pocket in order to replace one of the tail light bulbs.
Night time vision is compromised due to poor headlight illumination, most notable in areas of low ambient lighting or rain.this has been present since purchased new. Truck headlight bulbs were updated under general motors service bulletin pit5374b atlocal gmc dealer where vehicle was purchased.charge for this update was $149.21. While i do not hold the dealer responsible for this charge, i do feel the substandard lights should be considered a mandatory safety issue and dealt with as such
The headlights on my 2015 gmc sierra slt are by far the worst headlights i have ever experienced in the many vehicles that i have driven over the last 30 years. How they passed whatever safety standards there are set in place is beyond me. They do not provide a wide enough beam to see around turns or wildlife that may be on the side of the roadway nor do they light up enough of the road in distance to see anything at all beyond approximately 50 feet while travelling in the dark.this vehicle is unsafe to be driven at any speed during the dark. Sadly the high beams are completely useless as well. There is more light output with the low beams on in conjunction with the fog lights (which isn't saying much) than there is with the high beams on. Driving is the rain is even worse. You cannot even tell that the headlights are on that's how bad they are. I have complained several times to two different dealers and gm directly and was told "that's just how they are and there is nothing that can be done about them". I was given a 2016 sierra as a loaner vehicle while i had my vehicle in for this and several other issues and the headlights on the 2016 vehicle they loaned me are a big improvement over the 2014-15 lights. Gm should be forced to recall all 2014-15 sierras due to these severely hazardous headlights and forced to install the lights that come on the 2016-17 sierras.
Hard to drive at night. Headlights do not illuminate roadway very well. And rainy night almost impossible to see with headlight and driving lights on.
Very poor headlights. I just can't see. It is like a fog. Nlocked out side views. Dims are not good and brights don't even get flashed by oncoming vehicles. They shine in the trees. I took the vehicle in three timesto a dealer of gmc's and they don't have a solution. They said they realize the problem but hands are tied because i think if they start tofix it a can of worms will be opened up and cost the company. How many complaints must you have?
The headlights equipped from the factory on these very expensive trucks are dangerous. When driving in conditions of low light, there is such little illumination from the headlights that it would be difficult if not impossible to avoid a collision due to minimal reaction time. Both the high and low beam do not provide sufficient lighting for diving safely in low light conditions. These are the most poorly performing lights i can remember ever having from any manufacturer.
Headlights on new 2015 gmc sierra denali 1500 truck inadequate - poor lighting pattern in dark driving conditions - unacceptable and dangerous. Dealership denied issue, then stated manufacturer recommends redirecting lights down toward road. This adjustment didn't resolve the dim lighting issue. I suggested paying out of pocket to replace headlights - dealership laughed and said that would void the warranty. These dim headlights are dangerous.
The headlights on my 2015 sierra are horrible and do not illuminate well enough to provide for safe driving at night.also, there is virtually no side illumination which makes turning corners dangerous.
My 2015 gmc sierra's headlights provide horrible visibility at night, the oem projector style headlights installed in this truck are dim, weak and unsafe.i brought my sierra back to the dealership and they applied tsb #pit5374 and upgraded the headlights with the volsa hir bulbs.this upgrade provided a nominal increase in brightness, but the headlights are still dim and unsafe for use while driving on dark roads or in the rain.the do not provide any illumination on the side of the roads, especially on dark country roads which makes it hard to see wildlife and other potential hazards.the design of the headlights on the 2014/2015 gmc sierra are severely deficient.it is my understanding that gmc is fully aware of this problem, so much so that they redesigned the headlights on the 2016 gmc sierra which has the significantly better hid headlights.i have already logged a complaint and spoke with representatives from gmc who looked into my issue and the end result was that there was nothing else they could do.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving various speeds, the contact's visibility was diminished because the low and high beam headlights failed to fully illuminate. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on numerous occasions where thehead lamps were readjusted and the light bulbs replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 0.
Issue: headlights do not provide sufficient light for night driving.unless driving in a well lit neighborhood, these headlights do not provide safe lighting for driving. I can not drive this vehicle at night. The warranty only provided different light bulbs which are no better. These headlights need recalled immediately!
The headlights on the vehicle fail to provide an adequate lateral view of the highway at night making it nearly impossible to see anything that might be moving in to the driver's path from the left or night sides.lateral view of the highway is not improved when changing from low beam to high beam or vice versa. The only way to cast any lateral light to the sides of the highway is to utilize the fog lamps which can only be activated while using the low beam. The lack of adequate lateral lighting makes night driving extremely unsafe and nearly impossible to look for animals or humans that might be stepping in front of the driver.the issue has been ongoing since the time the vehicle was leased.
The stock factory head lamps/bulbs are very dim and do not light up the side of the road or very far down the road and the lights have a very sharp cut off line.
Headlights are so dim, (high and low beam), that they shouldbe considered a serious safety issue.
Headlights are terrible,output and pattern are poor,very little lateral illumination.unsafe to drive at night in rural area.driving in rain,very dangerous.get eye strain and headache.
Headlights are totally inadequate for night driving.add a bit of rain and it is really scary.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While operating the vehicle at night, both the low beam and high beam headlights illuminated extremely low, which created a visibility hazard for the driver. Also, while driving in forward and reverse, the brake pedal became extremely hard to depress and the stopping distance was extended. The contact indicated that the failures were more present while driving at low speeds in reverse and after pressing the brake pedal multiple times. The cause of the failures was not determined. Charlie's chevrolet (1412 us route 202, winthrop, me 04364) and the manufacturer were notified. The failure mileage was 14,000.
Head lights are so bad it's dangerous driving at night with the low beams. The internal head light shutter creates a distinct line with total darkness above. While taking a turn you have no light to the side at all! you easily out drive the head lights with only the low beam. Been in the dealer several times. This is a design flaw. No good after market fix!
Driving home from latrobe in the rain i could not see with the lights . The lights have blind spots in them and i have had them changed once already. The service department said they were having some problems with the lights in these vehicles. This is a real safety hazard because of the blind spots when driving. This is occurring not only in the rain because the night before nice clear night the same shading coming from these lights. This should not happen i am scared to drive this truck at night because of the headlights. This needs to be addressed as a safety hazard .
Headlight qualityheadlight quality is very poor,side lighting and distance lighting are terrible. Gm issued a tsb but no recall for people who complained about the headlights.i purchased at 37k so am beyond the 3yr/36k. I am looking into after market fixes for the problem. I was told the problem was fixed in the 2016 models.
Headlights are extremely dim. High beams provide no illumination to the front sides of the vehicle. Using fog lights with low beam is actually brighter than the high beams. Even after having the dealer install new bulbs the lighting is very weak in a low illumination area, i.e. No moon, no street light, road. When making a turn in an un lit area i can't even see where the side of the road ends. These so called projector type headlights don't seem to work very well. I know for a fact the 2014 and 2015 have the same set up. The 2016 has a whole new set up with hid lighting and work great. This tells me that gm knows there is a problem. Unfortunately their "fix" only if you complain, isn't fixing anything... On a trip in the smokey mountains in gatlinburg tn i nearly crashed off the side of the mountain. I could not see where the edge of the road was. Even the passengers asked me "what is wrong with your lights?" the said "turn on your high beams" and i stated, "they are on". We can't believe these light pass the common sense test..
This vehicle has a 2 phase(low/high beam) single light that is extremely weak/dim to the point where it is unsafe to drive at night.i cannot believe that the existing lights are acceptable and passed whatever standard/regulation required.at night, with the low beams you get about 30-50ft of light output which equates to less then a second of reaction time when driving.the high beams simply lightup road signs to the point of blindness with it reflection but does not light up the road.i typically don't write unless i feel this is completely wrong.gm won't acknowledge anything but it is only a matter of time before there are serious injuries and/or death due directly to this problem.i am now spending another $800(on top of the $55000) i paid for this truck to get aftermarket hid lights.can you provide feedback as this has been a concern amongst all owners of this vehicle.i can't believe gm is sweeping this issue under the rug sort of speak.i have been in contact with owners who have been refunded anywhere between $200-900 but they must sign confidentiality forms prior to release so something is being hidden.(ps-i live in ontario canada...wont let me input canadian residence below).
The headlights on my 2015 gmc sierra are dangerous. They do not produce a sufficient amount of light to cover the driving area.while driving at night the sides of the road are not visible nor are what lies ahead if any curvature is involved. It is to the point where i try to avoid driving it at night. The ones who do not complain either live in town where street lights are present to assist with lighting or they are not driving at night.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission failed to operate as designed causing the vehicle to sputter and not properly accelerate. Also, the digital speedometer display would not display properly due to a faulty radio. Additionally, the driverā€™s side headlight failed to properly illuminate due to moisture build-up inside the headlight assembly. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. There was no service performed on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, one of the headlights failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the vehicle was repaired under a manufacturer warranty program, however the failure recurred. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 19,000. Updated 08/02/16*lj
Unsafe head lights and the supposed updated headlight are only good for 12 months or 12,000 miles.. The replacements have both burned out already at $50 each.
Driving my new 2015 gmc $52,000 gmc sierra, i noticed a distinct slipping/hesitation/general roughness when accelerating from a dead stop. The truck seemed to either have a transmission or engine problem. Took it back to dealership for them to check, and they indicated that this was "normal" and it was just the "cylinder deactivation" feature performing as designed. I explained to them that cylinder deactivation only typically happens at highway speeds and especially not from a stand still. They stuck by their story and again stated this was normal. My son came to see me and drove my new truck. Of course the truck hesitated and slipped from a dead start. "what's wrong with your new truck dad?" he asked. I told him it was 'normal and he just rolled his eyes. This is not normalfor every sierra that gmc makes with the 5.3 engine and 6 speed transmission would do this. I have read on numerous message boards and websites where this is an issue and gm needs to fix the problem.also, the headlights are extremely dim and are barely usable. As others have stated, i can only see maybe 20-30 feet in front of me and not very bright at that.
While driving home the other night both headlights failed at the same time.lost both high beam and low beam.tried everything to get them on with no luck.interment panel showed that they were still on.this was very scary and dangerous as i has traveling on a major highway.luckily i had fog light to give me some light to gt off the highway safely.
During night operation with the instrument cluster adjusted to proper brightness the center console lights and most notably, the intellilink screen are dangerously bright. The intellilink screen does not have an independent brightness control from the dimmer. When set to off in an attempt to mitigate the problem, the intellilink screen reactivates with subsystem adjustment, e.g. Temperature adjustment, absolutely destroying night vision of the driver. If adjusting the brightness level to acceptable for the center console lighting and intellilink the instrument cluster is so dim that it requires unsafe levels of driver attention to process the dimly lit information. Dealer verified issue on two service visits but unable to correct per manufacturer. Safety complaint registered by me with gmc infotainment customer support.
I previously sent in a compliant on this matter several months ago. The headlights are poor. This is a dangerous condition, they do not project out significantly and the side illumination is nonexistent.i found out on my own that their is a service bulletin on this matter. I took my vehicle back to the dealer, who changed the light bulbs,the improvement is marginal at best.i am extremely cautious if i need to drive the vehicle at night. This is a dangerous condition.
The headlights are very dim and dangerous in this vehicle. Very difficult to see at night and dangerous when raining. It's been like this from when i bought it. Lighting should be better on a $50k truck.
I recently purchased a 2015 gmc sierra k1500 slt. I selected the slt for the projector headlights which are not offered on the lower trims for improved lighting. However, the headlights have extremely poor illumination (cannot see off to the side of the road, very dim, poor projection in front) in low or high beam. The headlights are the worst on any vehicle that i have owned over the past 35 years. I almost hit a deer on the road at night, driving 35 mph, because the deer could not be seen in the visible arc of the low beams until too late. The deer was standing on the road fog line. I located a gm document on several truck forums concerning this issue. Original document # 4093100, pit5374 (2/27/2015) and followup document # 4109395, pit5374a (3/9/2015).
Headlights do not give off enough light. They don't light the road far enough ahead and are bad off to the sides. It's hard to see objects in the road and hard to see streets you are turning on. I have almost hit deer and have missed turns on rural roads.
Headlights are very poor (when wet road or in town) cannottell they burning...i have20/20 vision......on slow down does not down shift....cannot accelerate....the starter hangs up on start as if does not fire or no fuel pump
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving at any speed at night, the contact could not see above 50 to 55 feet ahead. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (graff chevrolet, okemos, mi, 517-349-8300) where the technician utilized the tsb instructions and adjusted the headlights. The contact stated that the lights became brighter, but the failure was not completely repaired. The contact did not remember whether the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.

The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to varney buick gmc mazda (260 hogan rd, bangor, me 04401) where the bulbs were replaced under a technical service bulletin however, the bulb replacement failed to fix the failure. The contact stated that he replaced the bulbs twice with led bulbs however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not taken back to the dealer and was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 28,202.consumer stated vehicle was taken to the dealer for defective driving light. Dealer stated nothing could be done about it.consumer also stated he had hit 2 deers at night.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the headlights provided poor illumination and obscured his vision. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the headlight halogen bulbs were replaced, but the visibility had not improved. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 4,500.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited reduced braking power when driving at low speeds. The vehicle was taken to mike raisor buick gmc (2912 main street, lafayette, indiana 47904, (765) 273-4954) for nhtsa campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes) in august of 2019. Within a couple of weeks, the brake system failure worsened after the repair. The contact also experienced reduced braking power when driving at high speeds. In addition, the brake assist feature failed before the vehicle was stopped. The contact stated that the stopping distance was significantly longer. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 32,000.
When accelerating at a very slow speed the engine seems to misfire or sputter and then the engine increases rpm and the truck accelerates as expected. Overall the engine lacks power and there is loud clicking sound that originates from the engine compartment area. I spoke with service manager at gmc and i was told that clicking sound was normal and gmc was working on the acceleration problem.
Within 46 hours of purchasing this brand new truck had 19 miles at purchase) it broke down on me and my kids. We had stopped at a stop light, pulled away and made a left hand turn once the light turned green. We all heard a weird noise come from the rear end of the truck. The traction light came on, the check engine light came on and the truck started running very rough with no acceleration power. I was able to pull into a parking lot. The traction light went off but the check engine light remained on. I turned the truck of and on again. Still ran very rough, stuttering on acceleration and stalled....all with the check engine light still on. Call gm roadside assistance. They got a tow out to pick up the truck in 2 hours. It was returned back to the dealership where i bought it. Two days later they felt that it was the fuel injection system and replace the parts. They called again to let me know that even with the repairs the truck is still running rough but no longer stalling. They were unsure what will need to be done to repair it but would get back to me. Now we're at 12 days, still no repair, still no repaired "new" truck.
Since gm transmission software recall,truck is continually slipping in all gears,non and partial engagement of gearbox,very sloppy gear changes.this is a major safety issue,while operating on the freeways of southern california.headlights are not within safety standards for lumens as per government headlight standards.this is a safety issue,dealership is at a loss,since gm has not given a fix or replacement for this problem.
When driving about 40 to 50 mph the truck shakes like it has a bad cv joint on your driveshaft and when i bought the truck i took it in for this problem and the dealer said it's normal due to engine shutdown of cylinders. So i lived with it when my warranty ran out i got a check engine light due to same problem but now the dealer said i need new fuel injectors all of them are bad per dealer and to replace was 1500 dollars. I feel this was original issue and want to see if other customers are getting same bad issues
When accelerating on an incline or hill or trying to pass traffic on the interstate the truck hesitates or stutters.this seems to happen when applying light acceleration.it almost feels like the transmission is having difficulty finding the correct gear.this is apparent to both driver and passengers. This has occurred since the truck was new and seems to be getting worse.the truck currently has 13,000 miles.
I have fuel return line leaking gas is this covered under gmc warranty
Fuel gauge reads empty all the time.was working,after sitting for 2 weeks, it didn't.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact noticed a strong odor of fuel inside the vehicle and observed fuel leaking underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to rotolo chevrolet (16666 s highland ave, fontana, ca 92336, (909) 333-6924)where the contact was informed that the fuel pump and lines needed to be replaced; however, the parts were not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 44,000.
Truck will not change gears and sputtering. Bad gas mileage and not wanting to start.
Driving my new 2015 gmc $52,000 gmc sierra, i noticed a distinct slipping/hesitation/general roughness when accelerating from a dead stop. The truck seemed to either have a transmission or engine problem. Took it back to dealership for them to check, and they indicated that this was "normal" and it was just the "cylinder deactivation" feature performing as designed. I explained to them that cylinder deactivation only typically happens at highway speeds and especially not from a stand still. They stuck by their story and again stated this was normal. My son came to see me and drove my new truck. Of course the truck hesitated and slipped from a dead start. "what's wrong with your new truck dad?" he asked. I told him it was 'normal and he just rolled his eyes. This is not normalfor every sierra that gmc makes with the 5.3 engine and 6 speed transmission would do this. I have read on numerous message boards and websites where this is an issue and gm needs to fix the problem.also, the headlights are extremely dim and are barely usable. As others have stated, i can only see maybe 20-30 feet in front of me and not very bright at that.
The vehicle is stuck in 4wd hi even though the indicator is set to 2wd.when turning at low speedfs the vehicle applies the rear brakes.the brakes do not apply when driving straight, only when turning at low speeds. It is dangerous when attempting to make turns from stops or parking.
My 2015 gmc sierra has the 8 speed transmission which has been an issue since i have owned the vehicle.i bought the vehicle used in the fall of 2018 and the truck/tranny ran good for about 10 months. Then in late summer and early fall of 2019, the truck jerking hard shifts started to appear.in october of 2019 i brought my truck into my dealer to have them look at my tranny due to the really hard shifts from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd and vice versa 3rd to 2nd and 2nd to 1st.i had to pay a $80 diagnosis fee and they reprogrammed my tranny and the ecu to smooth out the shifts and not make the shifts so hard.in all the software reprogram did get rid of the hard shifts, but in return now my vehicle drove like it has a 6 speed transmission instead of an 8 speed.in june of 2020 i brought my truck back into my dealer to look at my tranny again!now my tranny felt like it was always "hunting" for a different gear.when driving on the interstate at 75 mph 1600 rpm, if there was a little bit of head wind or i started to drive up a hill, the tranny would downshift and rpm's jump up to 2200 rpm to make up for the difference in road grade, same as when driving in town up a hillat 35mph.a 8 speed transmission should not be doing that!at interstate speeds (75 mph) my passenger side seat will sit there and just wiggle and shake back and forth.i have changed out ball joints and struts with brand new ones thinking that was the problem and the seat still wiggles back and forth.when driving my vehicle it feels like i am driving with a 6 speed transmission than an 8 speed.i have read that this seems to be a common problem in these model year gm vehicles and i feel gm needs to finally address this issue once and for all and keep their gm customers satisfied.i didn't plan on buying a 3 year old used vehicle for it to have the issues it has had since i have owned it.
Violent and erratic shifting during acceleration and deceleration... A simultaneous pop and jerk happens... Also when accelerating and hitting passing gear the truck seems to stall out and then quickly engages to apply more power than expected... This can be dangerous for a driver attempting to merge onto highways/highways! the jerking occurs on a regular basis and at various speeds on various highways...
Delayed engagement in drive, transmission clunks, rpm flares and truck quits moving unexpectedly.shudder at 3- 50 mph, vibrates steering wheel and leaves an uneasy feeling the truck is going to quit moving.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle began to decelerate and the engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that a gear cylinder fractured. The vehicle was repaired, but was unable to be driven. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000.
Called dealership about one week after purchase in august 2015 and reported vibration in vehicle at speed of 70 and above. No return call. Never had truck inspected. Vibration has increased with age of the truck. Truck has 55,000 miles on it now. Just now finding out about numerous complaints having been filed. Found information at autoguide.com. Gm has issued bullet6in #pi1354c relative to this.
Brake pedal goes soft and can hit the floor on occasion. Mostly happens with in reverse. 40k miles. Also transmission shifts are erratic. Rpm can shoot up between shifts.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving various speeds, the transmission vibrated and caused a hesitation when the gears shifted without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and repaired; however, the failure recurred several times. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 50.
The gmc sierra has a terrible vibration from 70 - 80 mph. It has been in the shop 7 times over the last year, 9 new tires, and the vibration still continues. I have attempted to resolve the issue with gm but there has been no resolution. The truck feels unstable and like something is going to break on the highway which is a safety concern. This vehicle has issues and it needs addressed.
Headlights are very poor (when wet road or in town) cannottell they burning...i have20/20 vision......on slow down does not down shift....cannot accelerate....the starter hangs up on start as if does not fire or no fuel pump
Will not come out of 4 wheel drive from the auto select position ..stuck in 4hi will not release. Service 4 wheel light on
When i'm cruising highway speeds the truck get a violent vibration and makes the vehicle uncomfortable to drive.
Vehicle has roughly 52,000 miles on it. Noticed leak on passenger side, front. Opened hood, noticed fluid dripping down radiator. Took to garage, dealer identified radiator and ac system had leaks. Not covered under warranty.
The transmission seems to slip or hesitate at takeoff. The running lights are too dim to see down the road.
The automatic transmission has a hard shift when going from park to reverse or park to 1st gear.the vehicle shudders when at interstate speeds causing a shake similar to running over interstate road bumpers/ lines.this has been brought up to the dealership several times and they reset the "learning transmission" fixing the problem temporarily for a day or two.
Extreme lag/delay- harsh engagementwhen shifting from park to reverse. Its like you are backing into something? when cruising 28-32 mph and releasing accelerator(as if you were coasting into a turn) when slowing the vehicle seems to shift up and lunge entering the turn.clunks and shifts hard when cruising normally when you have to release the gas pedal and slightly reaccelerate, causing the driver to hesitate. Vehicle shutters and hard accel 10x worse when towing a 7000 # trailer (truck is rated over 12,000 lbs. Towing).
Coolant is leaking. Smoke comes from the front of the vehicle when it's cold out. Temperature is fluctuating.
Steering electrical assist fightback, driving,turning resulting in no steering-deadly! this can happen at any time while driving. Very dangerous! engine must be shut off and restarted before you can get out of street. Then message reads "lower driver window then raise" before proceeding.
Truck starts to vibrate at 60 mph and gets worse the faster you go.
When putting the truck into gear with the foot firmly on the brakes the truck will slam into gear causing the truck to jump forwards or backwards.
Purchased vehicle with just over 9,000 miles on it. Noticed excessive vibration at highway speeds. At just over 12,000 miles driveshaft suffered catastrophic failure at low speed in a residential area. Failure occurred on a wet road under moderate acceleration at around 10-15 mph. Driveshaft literally ripped into two pieces.
Loses power when trying to accelerate, presents a problem when trying to maneuver in traffic and semi stalls for .2 seconds enough to cause a delay
Significant clunking in rear end indicative of improper alignment or lash is rear differential. Excessive vibration at speeds over 65 mph when the driveline is under load. Vehicle has been to the gmc dealership where it was purchased three times with no resolution to date. Current mileage is 18,000.

Transmission shifted hard, delayed acceleration at times, shuddered and jerked.this was usually slowing down to turn around 30 or 40 mph as the truck was in motion.after only two years the entire transmission had to be rebuilt.the transmission was shifting poorly the moment i drove it off the lot even if it "adaptive learning" you could tell there was something wrong.
On two separate occasions my truck has acted like it is in neutral while driving. The drive system disengages and the engine just revs. Once this happened while driving down the road, the other when the truck was stuck in snow. When it was stuck it disabled the 4wd system completely, rendering the vehicle stranded.
Aa soon as the warranty expired on my truck it start having problems with the transmission 🥴
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission failed to operate as designed causing the vehicle to sputter and not properly accelerate. Also, the digital speedometer display would not display properly due to a faulty radio. Additionally, the driverā€™s side headlight failed to properly illuminate due to moisture build-up inside the headlight assembly. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. There was no service performed on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.

Safety issue: known issue to gm but company refuses to acknowledge as a safety issue.a large number of gmc/chevrolet pickups have vibration issue at highway speeds causing stress and unnatural wear on vehicle components which might fail causing a crash at highway speeds.gm dealers unwilling to solve issue on majority of affected vehicles (2014-2015).
My truck suffers from vibration problems, the same thing that 10,837 other posts from other people suffering the same problem are talking about on this forum. Http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/153186-shake-or-vibration-issues/page-723this forum has been viewed over 1.5 million times which means a ton of people are having this issue.this is absolutely a risk to motor vechicle safety and absolutely exists in a group of vechicles of the same design or manufacture.the problems this shake presents that pose a danger are vibrations so significant that it can cause driver distraction, fatigue on long trips, potential loss of control, not to mention long term health effects from vibration exposure. The health effects defined are as follows:"the effects of whole body vibration (wbv) have been studied extensively in occupational medicine. In particular, it has been shown that when the body undergoes chronically to whole body vibrations spinal degeneration is likely to be one of the deleterious outcomes. Low back pain has been shown to be the leading major cause of industrial disability in the population under the age of 45 years and has been linked to whole body vibration exposure encountered in some industrial settings. Whole body vibration has been recently purposed as an exercise intervention suggesting its effectiveness in increasing force-generating capacity in lower limbs and low back. It has also been reported to be an effective non-pharmacological intervention for patients with low back pain. Relatively short exposure to whole body vibration has been also shown to increase the serum levels of testosterone and growth hormone. The combined effects on the neuromuscular system and endocrine system seem to suggest its effectiveness as a therapeutic approach for sarcopenia and possibly osteoporosis."
Transmission went out in 5 years and would not work any more.
Brought in my 2015 gmc 1500 sierra truck in for vibrations issues at high speed of 70-75 mph.after 4 attempts gmc corp refuses to admit that there is a safety issues in driving this vehicle at a normal rate. They continue to remove and replace the tires.i have never owned a vehicle before that such vibration is felt in the cabin of the truck, passenger seat, foot petal, etc.that is so uncomfortable, that my wife refuse to drive in the truck due to its safety.gmc will not acknowledge any of these complaints but will say everything is of specs.like others this is the worse vehicle i have ever purchased.found more complaints like this has been filed, but same result, gmc will do nothing.
While driving the transmission slipped while attempting to change gears.this caused the vehicle to be unresponsive and indicate a problem accelerating.this has been getting worse over the past several months and ended up leaving me in a very dangerous situation yesterday while driving.
A few months ago i was accelerating from a stop light the truck suddenly and violently jumped forward it had felt as if i was struck from behind. However no one was there! i did take it to the dealer and they said they could not replicate the condition and no codes were stored. Yesterday this happend once again! i would have sworn some one hit me, the truck shook and jumped forward so hard it felt as if a buss hit me. Once again no one there! i am making this complaint because i see more people are having theses issues and gm calls them "normal" sorry but i have driven trucks for years and have never had one do this! this is a potential hazard because if at any time a car was in front of me i would have most likely hit the car! please fix this issue!
I bought the vehicle new in 9/2015. I reported a vibration between 75-80mph to the nearby gm dealer (twice). The dealer kept the truck for a few days and stated they could not correct the problem. I took the truck back to the original dealer where i bought it, they did a road force balance on the tires and reported the problem fixed. I took the truck back to the original dealer at 13k miles, they kept the truck for a few days and reported the tires needed to be replaced. They replaced the tires and stated the vibration has been resolved. I drove the truck for another 3k miles and noticed that the vibration was starting up again. At 18k miles, i returned the truck to the original dealer and they are going to try and resolve the problem a 5th time.
I had made a complaint to chapdelaine buick- gmc that my brand new truck did not seem to go into four wheel drive. I was told to bring the truck to the dealership and they would check it for me. I was told by the service department that the truck worked just fine in four wheel drive. I then noticed that the truck seem to shift very rough and i called the service department and told them that something had to be wrong. The service department asked me to bring the truck back down to them the next day and they would take it for a test drive. While i was driving the truck to the dealership it shifted from drive into neutral.i coasted to a stop put the vehicle into park shut offand restarted the engine and then shifted back into drive and tried to drive again. This time the vehicle service engine light came on and the vehicle stayed in low gear and would not shift into a higher gear. The best speed i could make was 10 mph. I stopped the vehicle and restarted two more times. On the second try the vehicle did go into drive. I made it to the dealership and they took it for a test driveand upon their return gave me aloaner vehicle. They had to rebuild the transmission on my brand new truck which took about three days. Thankfully this event took place on a back road with little traffic. If it had happened on a busy road an accident might have occurred.
When accelerating truck will sag and or hesitate. When you slow down and try to speed up the truck will hesitate for 5 or more sec. Before speed back up gm said that this is due to zero torque to me this is a safety hazard
First of all the headlights are very dim and at night cannot see nothing.dealer said it is what is .very bad !! also my sierra on window sticker states comes with all terrain tires it does not have all terrain tires . They are 265/65/r18 goodyear wrangler sra .i worked for goodyear and those tires are all season !!! not all terrain as specified on window sticker !! i talked to dealer and called customer service at gm they never call back and they said those are the right tires.they are not according to my attorney who states the window sticker is totally incorrect and is fraudulent check your tires and window stickers and compare and look on goodyears website you will see.also my transmission clunks and knocks and shifts incorrectly dealer states its normali spend 40k on a new truck and all i have are problems and gm does nothing. It downshifts horrible what can i do???
Truck will not change gears and sputtering. Bad gas mileage and not wanting to start.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The vehicle failed to shift and remained stuck in gear. Also, while driving various speeds, the vehicle accelerated without warning. The vehicle was taken four times to laroche chevrolet buick gmc cadillac (900 us-290, brenham, tx 77833, (979) 836-6666) where it was diagnosed that the transmission fluid and torque converter needed to be replaced, and reprogramming was needed.the vehicle was repaired, but the failures recurred. The vehicle was taken to mac haik chevrolet (11711 katy fwy, houston, tx 77079, (281) 497-6600) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was working as designed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but did not assist. The failure mileage was 7,000.*dt*tp
Torque converter. Me and along with 4 other people are having problems with it. Upon start up and driving it starts to get sluggish and then just comes almost to a complete stop only building rpm's accrodding to the gm dealership it's normal. With all the gmc trucks i've owned it has never done this. And is only starting to do it over the past couple of months. I've talked to a guy who just had 2 replaced in his truck and is continuing to have the problem. To avoid any vehicle damage for anyone else i'm considering if you can check and see if anyone else is having the issue. I take very good care of my truck i don't mud in it or drive it crazy(wreck less). Dealership is also pretty much refusing to look into the problem or diagnosing it considering that it's 'normal' for the truck do that. Which i strongly disagree.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35-50 mph, the contact noticed a minor shaking coming from the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to love buick gmc (736 saturn pkwy, columbia, sc 29212; (803) 732-6500) who flushed and refilled the transmission fluid however, the failure recurred. The contact returned the vehicle to the same dealer who performed another transmission flush however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that the vehicle drove rough and that the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact used a dtc scanner and retrieved a code related to the transmission control module and temperature sensor. The vehicle was then taken stokes trainor chevrolet cadillac buick gmc (2004 wilson rd, newberry, sc 29108; (803) 792-4763) and the contact was informed that the internal wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and informed the contact that the vin was included in a special coverage program. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
I purchased my first new vehicle in oct of 2015. I've owned 4 vehicles since i've had my license, 2 dodges and 2 bmws. I chose a truck i've dreamed of having since i was 16. I'm currently 28. I chose the sierra denali. Not only was this my first new vehicle but this was my first truck and my first gm product of my life. Now i'm teetering on it being my last. Through the 14 months i've owned the vehicle (since 4 miles) i've had numerous issues. My front differential has been rebuilt not once but twice. My truck has 45k on it. It has never towed hauled or other wise performed a task requiring it's power other than normal driving. It has been babied. Cleaned washed oil changed tires rotated and 93 octane fill ups. Amongst other issues were the infotainment center freezing. Cvs axle shafts performing erratic along with bucking slamming and noises through the power train. A random leak in the lower oil pan that the dealer said was a manufacturer defect they were aware of. A airbag software safety recall and a shifting driver seat that tends to move a bit during cornering. Now to top all of those issues off in those 14 months i now have a leak the extends out from the edge about 5 inches from the rear windshield all the way from the driver side to passenger side. I'm not in bumper to bumper warranty. I was told 100 dollars and it will be fixed. It shouldn't have to be fixed. None of it should have. I have had less issues in all 4 of my last vehicles put together than this 1 vehicle i have owned for 14 months and i bought it new. This has been a big let down. A disappointment 12 years in the making apparently. One that has more than ruined my day.i honestly don't want this truck. It's scarred for life. That's obvious and not reversible. But now i'm under water on a loan for a truck that's not worth its weight in scrap metal. That's neither right nor fair.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v209000 (seat belts); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Air bag light on the dash and will not go out.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the brake pedal was difficult to depress. The contact had to apply extreme force to the brake pedal to ensure that the vehicle came to a complete stop. The vehicle was towed to a dealer (covert chevrolet buick gmc bastrop, 702 tx-71, bastrop, tx 78602, (512) 303-2311) for further inspection and diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v339000 (steering, service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v651000 (air bags, seat belts). The approximate failure mileage was 29,004. Parts distribution disconnect.
On numerous occasion the vehicles intierior audio chimes do no alert if doors are open, seatbelts are fastened, or blinkers are working.in 2014 the general motors recall number 14315 addressed this issue but gm states my vin number does not included the vehicles affected even though its exactly as they describe in the recall campaign in 2014. They want me to pay for the diagnostic and repair despite it being a safety issue and a recall they addressed in the past.
Where it fastens brakes loose after awhile.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the back seat center seat belt cover detached from the tensioner, which caused the seat belt to become excessively loose. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the seat belt cover needed to be taped down. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 16,500.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.*ln *dtthe consumer stated seatbelt broke some weeks prior to incident.
This complaint is in regard to nhtsa campaign 16v209000 in regard to a seatbelt recall on 2014/15 gmc sierra.gm has proposed 2 solutions: one for new unsold vehicles which leaves a seamless repair and the other for used vehicles that leaves the seat visibly damaged.this visible damage has led to owners not having their vehicles serviced and opting out of this recall.you can find examples and evidence of these owners here:http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/189628-seat-belt-recall/http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/190371-happy-with-your-seatbelt-recall-fix/the only reason that gm proposed to solutions is to save a few bucks at the expense of their customers.this is now leading to a potentially dangerous scenarios for gmc owners and others on the highway.this needs to be investigated and gm needs to answer why they proposed a cheaper less effective solution which leave visible damage to the vehicle for current owners.
Truck will not change gears and sputtering. Bad gas mileage and not wanting to start.
The vehicle always has a smell of dampness after a rain. Somehow water is getting into the vehicle.i have replaced the seal around the third-brake light which was thought to be the culprit, but no fix.the rear seat metal has rust on them from the damp. The driver's seat creaks when making turns.it is like it about to come apart.there should be a recall on this. People could get hurt if it happens. Le under the vehicle, i noticed that a body-mount is missing under the driver's side. This could be the reasons for the creaking.i am not sure!
I purchased a gmc sierra 2015 regular cab from your company representative, aljomaih automotive company in the kingdom of saudi arabia. However, after a few months, i discovered that the vehicle had several defects, and it exposes its users to serious threat.after that, ministry of commerce in kingdom of saudi arabia has made several callsfor users of the same vehicle that they have to check with the representativeto fix the defect for free. However, the representative temporized and evaded, then i had to file a lawsuit against aljomaih automotive company, general motors’s representative in the kingdom of saudi arabia. The court ordered the experts' department to checkthe vehicle by five specialized workshops, and reports were issued unanimously on the following: "the defect in the mentioned vehicle is a factory defect, which was found in all vehicles of the same type and not only the mentioned vehicle". Also, i have submitted report to the court from the general motors website proving that the mentioned vehicle is faulty with three other defects. As well as, all six calls were issued by the ministry of commerce, including the mentioned vehicle, with the chassis number.
Over the summer the drivers seat in my truck started making a clicking sound and felt like the base was shifting, almost like a bolt was coming loose and the base was sliding on the threads.i took it to the dealer and described what was happening, they drove it and decided that they needed to install a shim kit to repair the problem.they installed the kit and now a few months later it is starting to do it again.how safe is it to have shims under the seat to tighten things up when that seat is what it supposed to hold you in the vehicle in the case of a collision.i am taking it back to my dealer to have them re-repair it but are shims even safe under the seat or is this just gms money saving solution to get consumers off their back while putting their safety at risk?

The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 25 mph, the electrical functions for the driver seat failed and allowed the seat to move forward. The failure caused the contact to become wedged between the steering wheel and the seat. The failure occurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,200.
When i press on the brakes, it feels as though the master cylinder is gone and it is the manual type drum brakes that has air in the line.it takes everything i have to press them and pray it stops!!the vehicle is always in motion when detecting this problem and seems to occur more repeatedly if the brakes are pump quickly in succession before applying brakes or when the brakes are pressed for an extended amount of time then you release and repress it want stop.another issue is my lane id warning.when turned on at the button, it just beeps at me and shows service light.when i first took it in with the problem, the dealership called me and said all fixed, but it did it before i left the parking lot.they had my truck all day for the issue, put me out of a vehicle and then said they would need for extended time to repair but didn't know there was problem.how do you make that determination when you told me its repaired.i just turned it off and haven't used in 2 years.
My driver's seat became loose approximately 2 weeks ago (7/17/17). It has become progressively worse, to the point where i can feel my seat shifting when i turn or accelerate. I am worried that in the event of a wreck, my seat may become a projectile. I took my truck into the dealership in waco, tx on 7/31/17, and the dealership has stated (today, 8/1/17) that this condition is not covered by any warranty program, which i find disappointing and frustrating. I have read multiple reports of this same condition in gm trucks from 2014 - 2015 year models.
Rear seat headrests too low to be safe and effective in crash. They are both too small and to not stay locked in the far up position. Vehicle has been to the dealership multiple times for issue to be reviewed. At this time dealership claims headrest function is normal.
While in motion the brake pedal goes hard and is difficult to stop.i believe this is the cause of a low speed incident i had earlier this year.the issue occurres mostly at slow speeds in stop and go traffic.if feels like the brake booster fails and the pedal is bottomed out.it happens frequesntly while hauling a trailer in reverse.very dangerous situation.
At slow speeds the brake assist does not work. Requires much more effort to stop vehicle. Seems related to faulty vacuum pump as mentioned by ohters on internet forums.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 30 mph, the contact attempted to depress the brake pedal; however, the pedal was extremely stiff and hard. The contact stated that the service brake assist warning indicator illuminated. The contact was able to continue to drive, but had to use two feet to stop the vehicle. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brake vacuum pump failed and needed to be replaced. The mechanic stated that the vehicle needed to be towed to a dealer. The vehicle was towed to jerry smith chevrolet (12484 reservation rd, anacortes, wa 98221, 360-610-4128), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.
Loss of power brakes when creeping and applying brakes several times in a short time.tested and changed vacuum pump.
I pulled into a parking spot and lost the ability to stop my truck. The brakes locked up and i couldn't push down on the brake pedal hard enough to get the truck to stop. I was going slow enough to use the curb in the spot for it to stop me from hitting anything. I had my car towed to a repair shop and they confirmed that the brake vacuum pump failed and had to be replaced along with the master cylinder and because the vacuum pump was the initial point of failure, the repair was not covered under my warranty.*dtvehicle repaired
Hard brakepedal at low speeds especially while towing or traveling on inclines. Brake pedal becomes hard to decompress without warning and vehicle is unable to be stopped.
While backing up. Brake pedal went all the way to the floor and was unable to stop. Managed to get it to stop. I have heard about a brake booster issues.
Brakes become very hard to press in traffic and while backing up.the condition worsens with multiple presses of the brake pedal. The stopping distance of the truck in increased even with increased pressure on the pedal. The truck has 28,463mi. I contacted a dealership and they will not cover this repair.i have ordered the parts and will perform the repair myself. Gm has issued a service bulletin on this pit5361b.
Hard brake pedal - "no brakes"first occurrence in paring lot2016 timeframe . Was backing into a spot that was slightly downhill,no brakes ,vehicle hit curb and stopped. Pulled forward no brake,eventually they came back .complained to gm hotline - they responded with questions and i told them i took truck to dealer,i believe dealer replaced master cylinder second occurrence may 2017 driving on i-75 - 18 year old daughter driving on way home from college,traffic slowed and she said "i have no brakes, pedal wont move". She maneuvered to side of road,vehicle turned off and then back on,brakes came back and worked ok .mentioned during oil change at serra chevrolet, but since brakes were working they would not investigatethird event - november 16-- at tail end of 8 hour drive returning from deer camp.exit freeway and in stop and go traffic , on a downhill portion of road,the brake went hard .got vehicle stopped and turned engine off and back on, brakes released. Contacted dealer about bringing truck in this week. Going to ed rinke dealershiptoday nov 24, i read article about the a faulty brake vacuum pump. This now makes sense. Please get this issue fixed
Stopped to take a break while traveling. As we went to exit the parking area and stop at the stop sign, no real braking power. Had to put both feet on the pedal and press into it to come to a stop. We were traveling at about two mph. No warning there was a problem. One minute we had good brakes, the next, not. Luckily there was no traffic, as we were unable to stop at the stop sign and finally came to a stop in the right lane if the road. The mechanic stated the reed in the valve of the pump came apart.
While driving in stop and go traffic speeds there have been a number of occasions that the brake pedal goes hard and the truck will not stop.i have noticed on other forums that this seems to be a common issue.
Experienced an unusual reaction to breaking. A few days later i had brake warning lights on the dash. Took the vehicle to the dealer and they had to replace the cylinder brake master and the brake booster and add new fluid. Which i paid for. Now i see there may be other issues as there are other complaints you're investigating. I want to put mine on record.
The vehicle is stalling when braking and getting ready to turn.my truck is showing stabilitrak service intermittently and i've almost been in a crash 3 times because of this.the vehicle only restarts after placing in park.this is not safe when in traffic.there seems to be no recalls and no known cause.someone is going to die if gm doesn't fix this. I've been on forums and it's a common problem.it should be fixed by gm if it is so common.this happens when approaching cross traffic at an intersection and i lose all control of steering braking and power to the truck.
Issue when braking that causes the brake pedal to lose power and causes the driver to depress the pedal extremely hard to have the brakes engage.the cause appears to be a faulty vacuum pump that requires replacement.this could be potentially a large safety issue if the pump fails and the vehicle is unable to be stopped in time to avoid a possible collision.this issue has occurred both while in traffic on a city street and while attempting to park the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While braking or making a right turn while braking, the vehicle lost power. The failure occurred three times in traffic without warning. In addition, the stabilitrak warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle could not be driven. Palm dale chevrolet (1160 motor ln, lancaster, ca 93534, (877) 385-0885) was contacted, but they did not assist. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 58,000. The vin was unknown.
The brakes failed as my son approached an intersection. Subsequently, he struck another vehicle broadside. Extensive damage was sustained to both vehicles. The driver reported that he pressed the brake pedal, but the truck would not stop. After i investigated further for an explanantion,i discovered that there was a recall on his brake system that might explain brake failure. The crash occurred on a city street.
After coming to a stop or reaching slow speed, the brake pedal becomes firmer with each pump until the pedal only moves roughly an inch before stopping, and braking force is barely enough to keep the truck from idling forward. When this happens on a downward slope at a stoplight it requires massive amount of force on the brake pedal to keep the truck from rolling into the car in front of it. Also, if traffic begins to move after a stop and then stops again abruptly without gaining much speed,the same thing will occur and it is extremely difficult to not hit the rear end of the car in front. After doing some research this seems to be a common issue with the vacuum pump. I will be visiting a dealer soon. 2015 gmc sierra slt with 57,000 miles.
When braking the pedal gets really hard. When backing my small boat in the lake i have had to stand on the brakes to get it to stop. Hoping truck and boat along with myself would not go down. Very scary. When the first initial push it seems fine but then they go. Forwards you can tell they are not right and you had better stay your distance from anything in front of you. After reading all the other complaints this is crazy there has not been a recall don't think a smaller man or woman could have prevented the hole thing from going in the water. Love the truck we all have problems. Confront them and get it right. Still love gmc. Maybe not gmc board though. Man up before someone looses a loved one.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 25 mph, the contact heard a grinding noise emerging from the front driver side of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to hennessy buick gmc (7261 jonesboro rd, morrow, ga 30260) where it was diagnosed that the brake vacuum pump needed replacement. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 8-4881978797. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 102,000.
2015 gmc sierra 1500. Had the brake pump vacuum recall performed not too long ago. This issue actually seems worse now. I was backing out of a parking spot - low speed was the issue previously- and applied the brake. Nothing happened, no brakes (pedal was depressed) truck continued to back out and i had to jam on the brake again, only then did the truck brake system shudder and engage enough for me to stop. This happens at low low speeds - crawling traffic, parking lots etc.... I got to tap the brake pedal to slow a bit and nothing occurs - or the pedal pushes back at me giving me no brakes. I have to completely disengage the pedal and then forcefully engage the pedal again to get any kind of braking. I have only noticed this at very slow speeds. This is terribly scary when we are crawling down a steep mountain highway with bumper to bumper traffic and i get no brake response. Like i said, the truck went in for a recall that was supposed to have fixed this issue.
My brake assist service light came on in my truck and the brakes are acting weird at low speeds. I know there is already a recall for this in 2015 gmc sierra's but apparently mine isn't included. This is apparently a problem for all 2015 gmc's so how do i get mine included. I already contacted my local gm dealer and they won't do anything about it unless i pay for it. It's obviously a known problem and a bigger problem than they are admitting. Help me get all 2015 gmc on the recall list before someone else gets hurt or killed
Brakes appear to lose boost when stopping. Have to press peddle with both feet.this has happened on three separate occasions.
When coming to a stop the brake pedal gets hard to depress and the rate of deceleration chages makes it hard to jusge when and where the vehicle will end up.
Brakes not working. Had to replace the vacuum pump belt, brake booster vacuum pump, and ac belt. Cost $573.86. Vehicle only has 40k miles. Very dangerous, vehicle would not stop when applying brakes
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.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited reduced braking power when driving at low speeds. The vehicle was taken to mike raisor buick gmc (2912 main street, lafayette, indiana 47904, (765) 273-4954) for nhtsa campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes) in august of 2019. Within a couple of weeks, the brake system failure worsened after the repair. The contact also experienced reduced braking power when driving at high speeds. In addition, the brake assist feature failed before the vehicle was stopped. The contact stated that the stopping distance was significantly longer. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 32,000.
Low speed brakes hard and takes time to slow and stop.brakes seized backing down driveway 2xs. Got notification from gmc that they are aware the vacuum /power my be defective and if you experience this problem the dealership would fix it at no cost but ot had to have less then 72,00 miles.drop it off at our dealership and they claim no problems found. They had for 3 days and just drove it around with a computer hooked up to it. Said no codes came up so they are not bothering with it. Pick it and still the same. Husband went back.they don't want to bother cuz the milage is over 72,000. We have 75,000. I am afraid to drive it.they need to be recalled for the vacuum /power brake issue. Our truck is only 4 yrs old and we paid big money for it. We live chevy/gmc. We would never own anything else.recalk is needed.
Break pedal at low speeds locks up completely.
Brake system failure.brake pedal would depress to the floor and stop working as the truck was slowing down.this would happen in all braking situations. I took the truck to the dealership and they stated the vacuum pump failed.$1142.67 for repair! nov 15/ 2018.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While the contact was driving approximately 35 mph, the preceding vehicle stopped abruptly. When the brake pedal was depressed, it traveled to the floorboard. The contact started to pump the brake pedal; however, the vehicle crashed into the rear of the stopped vehicle. There were no injuries, but the contact stated that he felt a bit sore. A police report was filed. The air bags operated as intended. The vehicle was towed to quebedeaux buick gmc (located at 3566 e. Speedway boulevard, tucson, az, 85716) to be diagnosed and repaired. The contact was informed that there was a failure with the brakes, but was not given a definitive diagnosis. The contact stated that the estimate for the repair was $22,000. The repair was still pending. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 19v761000 (electronic stability control, service brakes, hydraulic, service brakes). The contact took the vehicle to finnegan chevrolet buick gmc (26529 southwest fwy, rosenberg, tx 77471, (281) 342-4200) to be serviced for the software update. After the contact had the vehicle repaired per the recall, while driving at a low rate of speed, the brakes failed to operate without warning. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a faulty brake vacuum pump. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist because the vehicle was previously repaired per the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 65,000.
Brakes failed to reser at low speeds, resulting in near collision. Brake pedal became stiff and unresponsive. Has also happened previously, was told brake vacuum pump failure is the cause. Was notified this does not qualify under vehicle warranty despite reading of multiple reports of failure, technical bulletin release, and immediate safety issues.
During low speed braking maneuvers while parking in my driveway brake pedal pressure required to stop became very hard. It took both feet on the pedal to actually stop the truck. This would happen daily while backing in to my driveway. Also during normal city stop and go driving it would also require great effort to stop the truck and the pedal would be very hard to press.
Truck continues to lose brakes at low speeds or when backing/pulling trailer. Truck was serviced for brake recall and no change to braking. Consistently looses braking when parallel parking or backing into parking spots along with stop and go traffic brakes go out and you must stand on the pedal to stop the truck. This braking issue happens almost daily.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving at low speeds, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to stop. The contact stated that extra force was needed to depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to tustin buick gmc (1 auto center dr, tustin, ca, (714) 460-9877) where it was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes, hydraulic); however, the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the failure still occurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000.
Takata recall when backing up brake pedal is not at its normal pressure seems to be all the way down so have to press brake harder to stop the truck when i shift to drive forward same thing applies. After truck has been off for some time parked then start to drive brakes seem to be working fine.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 5 mph, the brakes seized. While driving over 5 mph, the brakes performed normally. The vehicle was taken to baglier buick gmc (248 pittsburg rd, butler, pa 16001, 742-602-4676) where it was diagnosed that the vacuum pump fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 49,000. The vin was unknown.
At slow speeds from a stop if you let off the break pedal and immediatly reapply there seems to be extremely hard breaking. Almost impossible to stop the car.
Brake vacuum pump. At slow speeds my brakes almost don't seem to work.i'm sure it's the same problem i've read about.
Very difficult to stop the truck while going at a low rate of speed 5 to 10 mph. Had to forcefully apply pressure to the brake pedal to get it to stop still required more stopping distance. Brakes did not become fully functional until after placing the vehicle in park and shutting the vehicle down waiting for approximately 15 minutes. Restarted the vehicle and brake were functioning properly. This event occured at approximately 46,000 miles on the vehicle. Following day brought the truck into the local gmc dealer and verified that the truck has a braking problem found a leaking brake booster and master cylinder.
Yesterday afternoon while backing out of parking spot, my brakes became unresponsive.the pedal was extremely hard to press and would not stop the vehicle.the result was the vehicle rolling down an inclined parking lot and hitting another vehicle.normal braking had resumed when leaving the accident. This is the second time for the brakes to become unresponsive at low speeds.approximately 1 month ago the same situation happened driving through a parking lot.brakes became extremely firm and unable to stop the vehicle.no damage resulted from that incident.after reading several message boards, it appears to be a widespread issue with this vehicle that results in replacement of multiple power braking components. I currently feel extremely fortunate that my brakes did not fail 5 minutes earlier while picking up my child from school.
Brake pedal does not depress easily at low speeds. Extream effort is required to push brake pedal enough to get vehicle to stop.
I was pulling into a parking spot at work (slow speed) and i could not stop the truck.i kept applying more and more pressure to the brake pedal and it did not stop the truck.the truck hit the curb and stopped, luckily there wasn't a another car as i would have hit it.it caught me a bit off guard as i was trying to figure out what just happened.i backed the truck up about 10 feet, brakes worked fine in reverse, and pulled forward back into the spot.again, the brakes did not work and i again i hit the curb.no damage to the truck, but brakes did not work.it felt like the brakes were pushed back against me.brake pedal never went to the floor, i pushed the pedal and there seemed to be more resistance than normal.it didn't matter how much i pushed, the truck kept moving forward.this happened with approximately 78,000 miles.i was late for a meeting so i went into work and later in the day i had a break so i checked on the truck.pulled out of the parking spot and back in and brakes worked both in reverse and in forward.so now what to do?????????at work i did a quick google search and saw this similar issue come up in a lot of the search responses- and decided to log it here.this is a huge issue and very dangerous if i was in a crowd or people or at an intersection and couldn't stop.i called gmc and they said they never heard of anything like this- they didn't seem to care, they said if i brought the truck in they would see if it happened again.
While driving at slow speeds if you tap the brake pedal it won't depress and the truck will keep rolling.this happens when i'm trying to park usually.i was backing in my driveway and it didn't stop after taping the brake pedal 3 times.i hit the telephone pole with rear bumper which bent the body of the left rear fender enough to cause the tailgate to not open. My gmc dealer replaced the faulty booster pump for $1029.35 and i had to rent a car for 2 days.
During parking (low speeds) my brake pedal began making noise. When stopping in the parking spot, the brake pedal was very stiff and could only press it down 1/2"-1", barely able to stop.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to pass state inspection due to master cylinder, vacuum pump, brake booster, and hose leakage. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 33,000.
I bought this truck in dec.2017 sense march/ april of 2018 i have experienced at least 8 times maybe more and just last week. The brake pedal had lost it's power assist. This seems to happen in very close slow speed traffic or in parking lots when parking. The way i solve this problem is to put truck in neutral and increase rpm's or you 2 feet on the brake pedal ithe power assist will soon return, these situation could be a real problem at higher speeds. I have checked the vacuum booster for leaks, brake fluil and done a front and rear brake job. The week of nov. 18 i saw an article in the boston globe about this specific problem and under investigation. I contacted my local dealer central buick and gmc in norwood ma..on nov 26.2018the service writer said he knew nothing about this problem or complaints nor the ongoing investigations. His thought was bring the truck in and we will check and repair at my expense. Sadly i wish his response was different . Thankyou d.s.m.
I was towing a camper down rt 422 in butler, pa in my gmc truck when it suddenly caught fire.my wife was following me and alerted me to pull over as quickly as possible. I had no brakes and the gear shifter went straight up without shifting.the doors would also not open while the truck was filling with smoke.i got out using the manual unlock knob and am lucky to be alive. We had about one minute to try to extinguish the flames before it fully engulfed both my truck and camper.i filed a complaint with gmc.by what i am reading online there are many instances of fires and gmc does not seem to provide assistance.this is very unnerving and scary to say the least. I am sad and angry for this situation.this happened through no fault of my own and i lost absolutely everything. I was in the middle of moving to start a new job and lost many work items in my truck as well. I had to delay my start date for work. Now i am responsible for deductables, insurance increases and other items not covered by my insurance.now i have to buy a new vehicle and camper but what will gmc do to help me? probably nothing.
At low speeds break pedal will not depress and i have a hard time stopping the truck. I almost hit a car yesterday and after doing some research found that the vacuum pump failure is a known problem. This is extremely scary and dangerous. Someone could easily hit a pedestrian. My truck has less than 50,000 miles, which seems to be the average for this problem.
Waiting in line a costco gas station had my foot on the brake pedal all of a sudden the brake pedal got hard and the truck will not stop almost hit the vehicle in front of me
I was in a parking lot (thankfully) when the brake pedal was hard to push, and the truck did not stop immediately.there is a technical service bulletin issues for this problem pit5405b.
Brake vacuum pump: while attempting to stop, the brake pedal became very firm and the vehicle was difficult to stop.the vehicle continued to move while depressing the brake pedal and required a substantial amount of effort to make the vehicle come to a stop.it was intermittent, but it did occur several times on the day i first noticed it and was often at low speed.fortunately i was not involved in any accident when this first occurred.i was able to drive it to the nearest dealership immediately and had it repaired that day. The dealer was able to duplicate the issue and determined the vacuum pump to be defective and required to be replaced.once replacing the vacuum pump, the brakes performed as expected.attached is a copy of my invoice with the dealer narrative describing the repair.
Low speed breaking pedal hard vehicle will not stop can hear clicking noise condition worst while in reverse almost caused 3 accidents contacted dealer they say they know of the problem and cost to fix is around $1000 if this is such a common issue like my dealer said why do i need to pay to have it fixed it's a safety issue that gm knows about. This issue has been on going for over a year with my truck.
Brakes loose boost at idle after towing trailer. I towed a heavy trailer and then dropped it in my yard. When i went to move my truck down my driveway and into my garage i had no brake boost unless i revved the engine.
Vehicle loses brake pressure while moving at slower speeds.once coming to a stop, then doing slow speed stops and starts the pedal will become hard and requires great effort to bring the vehicle to a complete stop.issue started at about 38,000 miles just after factory 36,000 mile warranty.issue presents itself more often in reverse while backing in, especially if grade is sloped.have had multiple close calls in parking lot settings while trying to back in to a parking spot or inch forward. A friend had this same issue with his 2016 chevrolet silverado, which ended up being a $1,800 fix through the dealership.he was told that it was a vacuum issue with the brake pump and that a recall would probably be issued.i have been holding out on service in hopes of this recall being issued.
When going under 15mph brake pedal becomes hard and doesn't work. Vehicle has 50k miles. Brake booster declared bad by mechanic. This issue almost casued accident.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving at a low speed or while idling, the brake pedal was depressed and failed to engage. The contact stated that the failure was also evident while driving in reverse at a low speed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The local dealer and the manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v339000 (steering, service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
When brakes are applied the pedal is hard and vehicle does not stop. It seems to happen when going slow for example in parking lots etc. I have read other articles where people are experiencing same thing at high and low speeds. It does not happen all the time, but it started 11/2017 and i've experienced this four times now and the wife as well.called gm the other morning was told there was no recall for this issue per gm some vehicles were affected but not mine, explaining what i've found and was told to take the vehicle to dealer for diagnostic.asked if it would have to be the dealer cause they were expensive to do diagnostic. Was told yes and it would have to be out of pocket.
When brakes are applied the pedal is hard and vehicle does not stop. It seems to happen when going slow for example in parking lots etc. I have read other articles where people are experiencing same thing at high speeds. It does not happen all the time, but it started 7/1/2018 and i've experienced this four times now. Took to dealer this morning they refused to look at articles explaining what i've found.
Brake assist warning light came on with hard brake pedal at low speed braking. Does not happen ofter. Brought to dealer and had tested with no trouble found. Dealer said no recalls or service bulletins on issue.
My truck still has the hard braking issue even though the recall has been performed. I received a second letter and took it back into the dealer and they said the reprogram had already been performed and that was all they could do. I had it at the mechanic for service and was told i was going to need a new brake vacuum. He experienced the same hard breaking issue when he was test driving it. I travel and drive my truck a lot and makes me very nervous this is going to cause an accident.
While in a drive through i was creeping up and when trying to come to a stop my brake pedal would not depress all the way as normal and took a longer than normal time to stop even with both feet pushing on the brake pedal. I ended up rolling into the car in front of me. I took the car to the dealership the next day and was told that my vacuum pump/brake booster needed to be replaced.
Brake pedal goes soft and can hit the floor on occasion. Mostly happens with in reverse. 40k miles. Also transmission shifts are erratic. Rpm can shoot up between shifts.
While pulling into a parking lot my brakes failed to stop my truck twice.the brake pedal was very stiff, like it was a manual brake and not power. Had to depress brake pedal very hard to get my truck to stop. I shut off the engine and then restarted and the brake pedal returned to normal.
When exiting from one highway to another in heavy traffic were breaking was required, my trucks power steering and power brakes had completely gone out. I was on a straight track for a highway patrol who was standing outside his vehicle along with another motorist. After fighting to steer the truck while trying to brake to avoid hitting other motorists i realized that the truck had also died. Shook up and scared i started the truck and began to drive away with the officer yelling what the hell are you doing. The truck has done this several times. Three of which almost resulted in an accident. It has been in the dealership were they told me it was a high resistance in the negative battery cable which was replaced and resulted in no change.
When driving forward or backwards at low speed brake pedal seems like it locks up and it is extremely hard to stop the vehiclei had to press the parking brake a couple times just to get it to stop
When i press on the brakes, it feels as though the master cylinder is gone and it is the manual type drum brakes that has air in the line.it takes everything i have to press them and pray it stops!!the vehicle is always in motion when detecting this problem and seems to occur more repeatedly if the brakes are pump quickly in succession before applying brakes or when the brakes are pressed for an extended amount of time then you release and repress it want stop.another issue is my lane id warning.when turned on at the button, it just beeps at me and shows service light.when i first took it in with the problem, the dealership called me and said all fixed, but it did it before i left the parking lot.they had my truck all day for the issue, put me out of a vehicle and then said they would need for extended time to repair but didn't know there was problem.how do you make that determination when you told me its repaired.i just turned it off and haven't used in 2 years.
Braking issue. While traveling in a drive thru, vehicle brake pedal went to the floor, pulsated some, and required extreme effort to stop. This occurred during subsequent braking incidents while moving and stopping in the drive-thru. After leaving, brake pedal felt ok. Googled symptoms which matched my circumstances and listed a recall. However, there is no recall listed on nhtsa. Seems a little troubling as this appears to affect 3.4 million gm vehicles.
The vacuum pump controlling the brakes has failed.when the brake is pressed in stop/go traffic, it will first stop the vehicle, but if the brake is released then pressed again, the brakes will not work and the vehicle continues to roll forward.a mechanical/electrical noise can be heard before this occurs.this is more noticeable on wet roads or roads with a steep decline.
We want to report a safety feature in 2015 gmc sierra 1500.we bought a vehicle brand new and it currently has about 40,000 miles on the odometer. On 11/4/2017 after we got off the interstate 10, the break from this truck stopped working, we had a difficult and dangerous time to make it stop, and was lucky to manage to get into a store's parking.we have to haul it to the local gmc on monday and found out the break pump was bad.this problem could cause a deadly accident if we were still in the freeway.we called gmc to report the problem and they said there is nothing they can do.this problem is serious and need to be addressed.
Brakes wouldn't stop
Curtain air bags deployed after loosing traction a bit in the highway also causing seat belts to get locked. Acceleration pedal will get stuck at times. Needed to push brake pedal half ways or more for brakes to kick in. Gm brake recall seems to have fixed that. A/c condenser and compressor continue to fail.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While backing out of a parking space, the contact depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle did not stop. As a result, the contact struck a parked vehicle. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the brake vacuum pump was damaged and needed replacement. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 48,499.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving at low speeds or when the gear selector was in reverse, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred periodically. The vehicle was taken to everett buick gmc (21115 i-30 frontage rd, bryant, ar 72022, (501) 303-4393) to be diagnosed, but no failure was found. The dealer stated that the brakes were "perfect". The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vin was not provided. The failure mileage was 45,000.
Brake failure at parking lot speed. While reversing in truck, brakes became hard and failed. Almost hit another vehicle.
Brake pump went out almost ran into a pole. Reading online and see a lot of people having the same problem. Angry!!
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While operating the vehicle at night, both the low beam and high beam headlights illuminated extremely low, which created a visibility hazard for the driver. Also, while driving in forward and reverse, the brake pedal became extremely hard to depress and the stopping distance was extended. The contact indicated that the failures were more present while driving at low speeds in reverse and after pressing the brake pedal multiple times. The cause of the failures was not determined. Charlie's chevrolet (1412 us route 202, winthrop, me 04364) and the manufacturer were notified. The failure mileage was 14,000.
At first the issue started as i was parking in reverse, pressed the brakes and the truck did not want to stop until i put a lot of pressure on the brakes. Then pulled forward to check and it did the same thing so i parked the truck and left it overnight. It worked fine in the morning and the next few days. Then it happened again after about a five hour drive home from work i exited the freeway exit 99 in tumwater the brakes got really stiff and was not slowing quick enough for the stop sign coming up, i slowed to about 35mph then realized it wasn't gonna stop so i pressed the brakes as hard icould swerving just past the stop sign until it stopped. Preceded slowly got some fuel and still had about another hour drive home and now the brakes was really stiff and truck would not stop unless i put a lot of pressure on the brakes. So i got back on the freeway going only about 55 mph increasing my stopping distance crawling all the way home having press the brakes extremely hard when i needed to stop for traffic lights. Now i'm afraid to drive the truck anywhere without fearing of the brakes not working at all completely. It
2015 gmc sierra - braking becomes very difficult at idle speed whether moving forward or reverse.brake pedal becomes very difficult to depress.vehicle will move a few feet until completely stopped even with forceful pressure on the brake pedal. Appears to lose all vacuum/power braking ability.
Gmc truck brake pedal will become very stiff and difficult to depress at low speeds after brakes are hot (driving through mountains).this appears to be consistent with the gm brake booster issues that appear online.
I first noticed the problem when i was backing down the ramp to launch my boat. Generally i can lightly touch the brakes and the truck will stop immediately. But this time it did not and i had to pump my brakes multiple times before it finally came to a stop. I was quit alarmed but kinda blew it off. The truck had traveled about six feet further than i had anticipated. About a week later i stopped to go through my gate at my farm and when i drove through the gate which is on a slight hill decline it happened again. I went to touch the brakes to stop and ended up pumping the brakes violently in order to get the truck to stop. This time i traveled about seven or eight feet before coming to a full stop.after this incident i was convinced to take it to the dealership. It occurred once more during that time. The dealership said it was a malfunction in the vacuum pump that works off of the main engine and oil from the engine had contaminated the braking system. I had to have replaced a pump, booster, cylinder, pipe, and fluid for a total of 1266.33 dollars. That invoice number is 208452.i feel this is a serious safety issue when you think your vehicle is going to stop and it does not. This can cause a panic situation!
I first noticed the issue on the morning of saturday, november 10th as i was backing into a parking spot. As i was backing in, i noticed all of a sudden the brake pedal was on the floor and i was about to plow into a curb and threw the truck in park. I didn't think anything of it. The second time it happened was one day later as my fiance and i had just completed a 200 mile drive home. I was pulling into the parking lot at our townhouse complex and as i was pulling forward to back into the space, i noticed i had no braking power whatsoever. I had to throw the truck in park to keep it from hitting a neighbors vehicle. I opened the hood with the engine running, and noticed a ticking noise i hadn't heard before and my brake pedal only had about 1/4" of travel left. I could pull the pedal back to where it is supposed to be but it would just fall back down to the floor. I was able to very slowly and carefully park the truck using park and the parking brake. With the engine still running and the vehicle in park, i depressed what was left of the brake pedal and held it to the floor and heard a moaning noise coming from the area near the master brake cylinder and could feel the brake pedal shuddering under my foot. I feel unsafe driving this vehicle and i was giving no warning of the brake failure. I am having the vehicle towed to sewell buick gmc in dallas and will update when they find cause. I will also be calling gm customer support as i feel this is a huge safety hazard.
Virtually unable to depress brake pedal at lower speeds - total brake failure. "no recalls available" according to the dealer database, but this is absolutely the same brake recall issue they refused to address for a few years until 2 people died.
Brake pedal becomes hard and non efective when attempting to park or at low idle speeds on numerous occasions nearly causing serious harm to bystanders and property. This is a major problem with gm trucks and do not know why a recall has not been issued to protect the public from serious injury.
Hard pedal, extremely poor braking response while slowing and during parking of vehicle, especially when multiple pedal pumps are required. Progressively worsening over past 6 months. I replaced vacuum boost pump and problem was corrected.
On several occasions the brake pedal becomes difficult to depress.releasing the pedal and depressing again corrects the problem.today while exiting a parking space at low speed to avoid collidiong with ann approaching vehicle it took both feet to depress pedal. I am a 200 lb. Male.i am not sure a small female could have corrected the failure in a timely manner.
Brake pedal stiff/hard when applying breaks. Problem occurs periodically within the city and highway.
In stop and go traffic on highway at low speed experienced brake pedal stiffening and difficulty stopping.reoccurred several times during same traffic pattern but only at the low stop and go speed.problem occurred with no warning.brakes worked as normal under other circumstances.forum research suggested this was a vacuum pump and occurred to othermodels of same year and millage.vacuum pump (internal) failure was confirmed issue by gm dealer and replaced.mileage when problem occurred was approximately 47,200 miles.vehicle in good condition, no wrecks ,regular maintenance, and not used for towing or heavy hauling.
Brake booster vacuum faulty. Causing a near miss in drive thru almost rear ending another car. Vacuum pump faulty.brakes become hard to push and get no response. This is a very dangerous. Gm needs to have a re-call before people get killed. It is a known issue lots of the same complaints.
When you step on the brakes in motion the brake pedal is hard and vehicle takes longer to stop.
Supposedly the brakes have been fixed for the recall, however, if i am driving as low speeds like in a parking lot, the abs will kick in causing me to not come to a stop when needed.i have almost hit several vehicles due to this issue.i have issues with the radio working, specifically being able to adjust the sound level.i have issues with the mirrors being able to move like they should.both of the electrical issues are permanent, it does not matter if i am parked or driving, they do not work at all.this is by far the worst vehicle i have ever purchased.the brakes have been occurring for years and there was no change when it was brought in for the recall.the most recent issue is now my evap system needs to be fixed.i can only imagine what that will cost to fix on a vehicle that only has 100,000 miles on it.can't wait to get that bill!
While pulling into a parking lot ant a friend apartment i was turning into a parking spot when the truck completely died causing no power steering or braked nearly causing me to hit his neighbors car.
Several times at low speed maneuvering the brake pedal became hard, required increased effort to depress, and braking distances were increased.occurs randomly and without warning.no accidents yet, but several close calls.vehicle has only 44,000 miles.
Backing boat down boat ramp (not a steep ramp) in trailer mode, braking did not stop vehicle.pumped pedal several times, used lots of force on pedal. Because of slow speed and increased effort, the vehicle did stop.pulled forward and repeated at slower reverse speed and same poor braking.dry conditions, brakes dry, did not put rear wheels in water.have nothad a repeated event. Dealer indicated that service bulletinpit5361b applies, but because of mileage it is not warranty.this should be a recall.
When i first got the truck the brakes operated perfectly fine after about three days the brakes on the front of the truck would lock upwhile i was driving and would not release.after two sets of calipers two sets of brake pads a set of rotors atwo weeks go bywith the mechanic trying to figure out what is wrong with this truck. They then replace the brake master cylinder, there was no improvement.turns out to be the brake booster had failed along with the hydraulic abs control unit.there were no warning lights on whatsoever the whole entire time the brakes were locked up the abs light didn't come on until the brake booster was replaced indicating that the abs control unit was also bad.now i am experiencing a ticking coming from the engine.the ticking occurs at idle end as the throttle is being activated.however the local dealership has refused to give me any information as of why it could be making this ticking noise or is just unwilling to say anything .
On 2/5/2017 while turning unto my street the steering wheel locked and i could not move my truck from hitting a block wall. I also tried breaking but the car did not stop in time to not hit the wall. I was driving slowly (20 mph) because i was in a neighborhood and me and my family were all wearing seatbelts so no one was seriously injured. The airbags did not deploy at all. And i also bent the steering wheel in half trying to move it. I am attaching a picture of the steering wheel itself and the vehicle is currently at caliber collisions for the repairs. I went to the gm dealer and they said they would run diagnostics after the truck comes out of the shop.
Whenever i connect a trailer to my vehicle i will lose all brake pressure when in reverse.it only happens when in reverse and connected to a trailer.i will have to pump my brakes to the floor and there's no braking power.this does not happen when i do not have a trailer connected.
My 2015 gmc sierra failed to stop at low speeds today.i avoided the collision by pulling off the side of the road.the peddle was extremely hard to push.i received a notice by gmc that its the vaccum pump and they will only cover the warranty up to 72k miles.my truck has 72,560 miles.
Vacuum pump vachose assy brake booster and mastercyclinder failure which cause brake failure while driving.happened several times until 'service trailer brake' light came on.no brakes, no way to press down pedal.gmc refuses to assume responsibility for repair.cost:$1311.16
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While an independent mechanic was inspecting the vehicle, the contact was informed of a radiator leak. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to goodwin chevrolet brunswick (located at 195 pleasant st, brunswick, me 04011, (866) 675-8244) where it was diagnosed that the radiator and air conditioner condenser needed to be replaced. The contact also stated that the brake pedal was difficult to depress and the windshield wipers failed to function. The brake and windshield wiper failures were not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 107,000.
Brakes do not work under slow speeds.pumping breaks at slow speeds (parking lot speeds) causes break pedal to stiffen and the vehicle's breaks are not responsive.when this happens, i feel what seems to be abs engaging (break pedal pulsates).the pulsating is only noticable in the break pedal.this behavior seems more prevalent in inclement weather.
Truck looses braking ability at low speeds such as traffic or parking lots.
Brake pedal gets hard to push or trying to stop.
At low speeds breaking becomes extremely difficult leading to longer stopping distance.
Vacuum pump failed at 58000 miles. Lost brake assist at parking lot speeds.could have caused an accident.
During real slow speed my brakes will get extremely hard to press. During this time the truck will become hard to stop. This usually happens when parking or in a drive- thru.
I was driving down a hill at about 15 miles an hour and when i went to press the brake pedal i heard a noise and the brake pedal went to the floor and truck would not stop. I had to swerve off the road to avoid a collision. After, the brake pressure returned while driving, but when stopped it would lose pedal feel and go back to the floor. After reading articles it was obvious the vacuum pump was failing. I limped the truck home and took it to the dealership and am waiting to hear back.
While parking in reverse at low speeds, the brakes became really stiff and was barely able to stop.
At low speeds the brake pedal is non-responsive and pulses while making a noise. It has happen twice, once in a drive thru and another time backing out ofa parking spot. Appears to be a vacuum assist issue. Once the truck was place in neutral and the rpm's were increased the issue went away
Complete brake failure with no warnings. Dealer diagnostic reports frozen vacuum pump. The condition was encountered in motion on a county rd.
Low speed brake failure. Creeping up to a stop sign and and not being able to stop due to brakes being hard to push. There was a recall for this exact problem but when the dealer typed in my vin # the decal wasn't listed.
I was backing up and the brake pedal got hard and would not stop the truck. I tried to go forward and the same thing happen.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes, hydraulic).

Also experienced the issue when they pulled the vehicle into the repair bay.as the owner, i have experienced this braking issue multiple times.
Hard to no braking at low speed.power brake assist failure.
Vehicle is shutting off at any given speed, ie. 35 mph in town or 70 mph on a highway with oncoming traffic. When vehicle shuts off, loss of all control of the vehicle takes place. No brakes, no steering, nothing until the vehicle randomly turns back on. This is not a consistent occurrence to know when it is going to happen or be prepared for it to happen. I watched my husband shoot across the road into the other lane and almost put the vehicle over a bank one night when it happened. This has been an issue since january 2018 for us, we have taken it to the dealer where it was purchased multiple times for them to tell us they can't duplicate the issue and nothing is coming up in their system for an error code. It has caused a major inconvenience for my family, as we don't dare put our children in the truck leaving the responsibility solely on one parent to transport the kids to and from daycare. I worry for the safety of my husband on a daily basis.
I after pulling into a service station, i was backing up and suddenly had no brakes.i almost hit another vehicle.
I was driving down i20 in dallas in rush hour traffic,the traffic was heavy but moving at 70 miles an hour. I saw brake lights in from of me, when i pressed the brake to slow down the brake pedal was hard, i could not press it with one foot and i could not slow down. I finally was able to slow down by putting both feet on the pedal with all my weight it felt like it was forever before i was able to slow down. I thought i was going to be unable to stop.i drove another 15 minutes going very slow and scared. Parked my truck in the drive and had a tow truck pull it to the dealership closest to my house. My truck only has 58,000. I really was scared for my life if you have ever driven in rush hour dallas traffic youunderstand . I could have lost my life or be seriously injured. The dealership told me today they had not heard of this issue. The dealership said they doubt gmc can do anything about the problem. The service department said was a vacuum pump on the breaks. I looked on line and others have reported this same issue. I could have been killed. Still shaking over the incident . I hope this problem is addressed before someone is killed
I only have 57,000 miles on my truck, which is why i am reporting this. The truck turns off completely. I have been going to make a right/left turn and the truck shuts down completely. I have no power steering and limited brakes. This has happened to me twice now. I am lucky enough that i am strong enough to turn the truck without power steering otherwise i would have hit vehicles both times this happened. There has to be some type of electrical flaw that is making this happen. I want to get this resolved before my insurance company has to get involved because i am in a car accident. If this is something the manufacturer takes care of that would be great, otherwise i would just like to know if someone else has had this issue and has found the resolution.

The brakes periodically do not work at low speeds. The brake pedal gets hard to push to the point you have to stand on the brakes to get the vehicle to stop. I haven't gotten in an accident yet but it's been very close twice now where i've almost hit a car in front of me at a stop sign.
Vacuum issue with brakes.backing up vehicle with utility trailer when brake pedal is pressed their is hesitation and lack of ease when pressing pedal. Then if press pedal after that there is no movement and pedal is like pushing rock with foot, no softness, no movement all. Have noticed this occasionally for the past 8 or 10 months before finding this place here to note my issue
At low speeds after pumping brakes i have no brake pressure and cannot stop.pedal bottoms out.once i start moving again brakes come back again.

Having issues with hard brake pedal. It happened a few time when the truck was new but could never duplicate it. Twice it almost caused an accident.i have since found a way to duplicate it.when backing a boat trailer down a ramp every time they become hard, i have to ride the emergency brake, but it only happens when the boat is on the trailer.i have researched this over the years but not till recently have i seen other reports of truck with this issue. I have not contacted the dealer yet but will in the next week or so when i can take off to go.i do not now date of first occurrence but i put a random date in 2015.

Brake pedal won't go down and is stiff . Brakes don't react.
Having difficulty breaking during on and off parking mode in a stationary position. When i reverse or move forward after changing to either revers or drive gear my truck seems to take longer to break, and almost feel that i don't have control of the vehicle. Its kinda scary to be honest not having control of the breaks. The breaks do better when i'm driving like in the expressway with out any problems. However, when i park in the house or in a general parking lot my truck antilock system doesn't seem to work very well.i have already taken my truck for a recall service at a gmc dealer known as luke fruia in brownsville texas78521 but don't see any difference. Feels like they just didn't fix the problem. I already took the truck to a certified mechanic and said that the break fine so i think its the antilock system not working.im scared driving the truck and fear i might get into a collision or crash due to my antilock breaks not working appropriately.to be honest, i feel very unsafe driving this vehicle so i have been using my toyota car. Please, need your help on this matter. Thank you
While going slowly and turning, my brakes failed to stop me. There was no pressure for the brakes. This happened several times. I almost ran into the back of a car.
At 47,000 miles. I noticed a slight vibration in the front end while braking on the highway. Over the next 2 weeks the vibration became considerable worse. It felt as though the rotors became warped which i have experienced during vehicle testing at previous employments. I replaced the front brake rotors and brake pads. During removal of the old brakes, i quickly noticed that 1 of the 4 pads was completely corroded through the backing plate. Brake pad contact area with the rotor was fine, but the backing plate had holes in it from the level of corrosion. Other 3 brake pads were fine, very minor surface corrosion at worst.since replacing my brakes the vibration has never repeated.
I was pulling a travel trailer at 55 miles an hour, i came over a hill to an intersection and i had lost my brakes. I managed to finally come to a stop. I disconnected my trailer. I went to a local gmc dealership, and they did not have time to repair my vehicle. I took it to an independent repair shop,and they said my vacuum brake booster pump had failed. They installed a new vacuum breaker booster pump for the next day. This was a very dangerous situation, as i lost 95% of my breaking power while pulling my travel trailer.
When applying brakes after first push the pedal gets hard and doesn't stop hardly. Does it either going forward or reverse. Has happened numerous times since truck was bought new.
On november 17th 2018 my brakes went out on a 2015 gmc 1500at 35 mph stopping at a red light which just turned green .i switched lanes and almost crashed. I had my grandchildren in the vehicle along with my wife. The vehicle need to be towed to a gmc dealer. The diagnoses was the vacuum pump total failure the brake pedal was hard with no stopping power. My gmc had 34000 miles on it . Now i have a tow bill and repair cost for a part gm will not recall. This was reported to gm and they opened a case and closed it. The said they would give a hundred dollar coupon. This is ridiculous some one is going to get killed because of this faulty part. I thought they would be will to help and make things right .gm case 8-4845403712thanks this corporation needs to be responsible.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.
Brake failure due to bad vacuum pump
Increased / inconsistent brake pedal effort at low speeds; truck takes more effort to stop, increased breaking distance
At low speed and on a number of occasions, the brakes have seemed to lose power and it required a lot of brake pressure to stop the vehicle and avoid hitting another vehicle, my garage, etc.it had been happening intermittently over the past month or so. Went in to the dealer and they replaced the vacuum pump at a cost of approx $600.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 15-25 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but was difficult to slow down or stop the vehicle efficiently. The contact stated that the brake pedal was very stiff. The vehicle was taken to kunes country chevrolet buick gmc of elkhorn (located at 1350 wi-67, elkhorn, wi 53121, (262) 725-4068) where it was diagnosed that the vacuum pump was weak. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 68,800. Consumer stated vehicle was repaired.
Brakes failed. I was backing into my garage and the pedal became really hard to push.i almost did not get stopped before i hit the wall.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the brake pedal was difficult to depress. The contact had to apply extreme force to the brake pedal to ensure that the vehicle came to a complete stop. The vehicle was towed to a dealer (covert chevrolet buick gmc bastrop, 702 tx-71, bastrop, tx 78602, (512) 303-2311) for further inspection and diagnostic testing.

The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v651000 (air bags, seat belts). The approximate failure mileage was 29,004. Parts distribution disconnect.
Brakes do not work when in reverse or at low speeds. Problem was there the day i purchased the vehicle. A couple weeks after purchase i backed into vehicle in a parking lot. I was told it was "normal" after almost having a wreck i did some research. How is this not nationally advertised as a recall yet? this is a huge safety negligence on gmc's part. The vacuum pump is known to fail by every dealer i have called. Also everyone i know who has the same model truck also lives with this problem.
I pushed on the brakes when slowly pulling into a parking spot and the brakes got squishy and barely stopped before i hit another parked car.this happened a few times before i got the vehicle home.then a message popped up that said "service brake assist system".i took the truck in and they said they would need to replace the vacuum pump and 2 belts.
Out of no where, i had to use extreme pressure on the pedal to stop the truck. The brakes began to sound rough. I turned the truck on and off hoping that would fix the problem. It didn't, i took it into my gmc dealer to find out that the vacuum pump has failed for the brakes. I did my research online and noticed many people have had the same issue. I was surprised there isn't a recall on 2014-2016 gm vehicles. This is dangerous and i'd hate someone's brakes failing at high speed and someone gets hurt.
While driving at highway speed, i entered an off ramp to find no power assist to my brakes. The pedal was extremely stiff. I came very close to having a collision with the car in front of me. I contacted my mechanic immediately, he checked it out and it appears the vacuum pump has failed without warning. I have owned this vehicle since new and have had no problems with it until this issue.
When the truck's vacuum pump fails, the brake pedal becomes very hard to push. The truck does not stop at low speed when this happens. The first time this happened, i was backing into a parking space at christmas tree stand. I nearly backed into the tent and persons loading the christmas tree in the truck. The second time this happened, i was parking my truck in driveway. I rolled about 6' to 8' before stopping. I nearly hit my house. Gm issues a "special warranty" but they refuse to cover the repairs because of the vehicle mileage. This same issue is well documented by other gm truck owners for 2014 to 2018 model years.
Backing up the truck the brake pedalbecame hard and the truck would not stop like i lost poweri almost hit my dog and the garage it was very scary
There is a known brake problem caused by faulty vacuum pump. With the vacuum pump failing there will be loss of assisted braking. Some people have noted requiring 2 feet to stomp on the brakes to stop the truck. The dangerous braking problem seems to happen during low speeds. Some members on the forums have mentioned getting into accidents. Gmc does not cover the vacuum pump under their warranty which is ridiculous.i have listed some forum threads as proof of not just me having this issue.https://www.silveradosierra.com/ecotec3-5-3l-v8/brake-booster-vacuum-pump-failure-t686609.htmlhttps://www.silveradosierra.com/brakes/rock-hard-brake-pedal-2014-low-speed-t595097.htmlhttps://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/204871-vacuum-pump-going-out/https://fox6now.com/2018/11/23/gm-under-investigation-for-faulty-brake-vacuum-pumps/even the government is investigating.
Backing out of my driveway in reverse applied the brakes and brake went all the way to the floor and did not stop the vehicle like it should. This vehicle had a recall already on it for the vacuum pump failing causing a loss of braking power. I got the recall remedied ( supposedly by increasing the vacuum pressure but now 6 to 7 months later this is a huge issue it is extremely dangerous driving in low speeds down residential areas with kids playing etc and your brakes fail you this ultimately can cause very serious injury if not death. And to know they put a recall out that supposedly fixes the issue and it dosent fix anything makes it worse because your cheap and dont want to replace a vacuum pump is utterly disturbing and disgusting
Brakes fade at low speeds, vehicle continues to travel while the brakes are applied.hard brake pedal pressure must be applied to stop.
Brakes becomes hard when backing up at very low speed and sometimes it feel like the anti lock brake is activated. Usually happen when backing up
Brake pedal or that increased effort is needed to depress the brake pedal. Also, in some cases a tick or ticking noise may be heard, which may sound like an exhaust manifold leak.
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.
When backing up, after repeatedly pressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal went to the floor and would not stop the truck.the truck rolled uncontrollably down the driveway and luckily did not hit anyone or anything.it could have killed someone though.the same issue occurred in a parking lot when backing up in an open space.after repeated hitting the brake pedal to line up the vehicle, the brakes stopped working an i could no longer stop the truck.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. An independent mechanic called on behalf of the vehicle owner, who is deaf. The contact stated that the brake pedal failed to depress and stop the vehicle properly. The contact diagnosed that the vacuum pump and the brake booster system were malfunctioning. The dealer (gulf coast chevrolet buick gmc, 1901 w. Fm 523, angleton, tx 77515, (800) 593-5226) stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer was called and the contact was provided a case number. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle had too many miles to be covered by the extended warranty. The failure mileage was 69,000.
It started happening a week or so ago where when in reverse or after switching from reverse to drive and trying to brake the pedal wouldn't compress, it was as if they were locking up on me. I would have to put most of my body weight on the pedal to even get the truck to stop, to the point where i almost ran into my neighbors car backing out of the driveway. It seemed to mainly happen at slower speeds, in both drive and reverse as it happened on more than one occurrence. Luckily i decided to take it to the gmc dealer before anything serious happened, but this is a huge safety concern and i feel it needs to be addressed. The dealer also knew exactly what the issue was before i could give them any information, so it seems like this is a common problem. They replaced my vacuum pump and we will see if that fixes the problem.
Hard brake pedal when attempting to stop, happens on hwy with fast speeds, slow speeds in parking garage and in reverse.
Brake failure while towing a 3500 pound boat. Vacuum booster system failure. I was moving slowly through a parking lot pulling my boat, when i pushed the brakes the truck did not stop. The brake pedal bottomed out and the truck and trailer continued to move forward slowly
The brakes at slow rate of speed become very hard to operate and push. Made appointment with gmc dealer for service (sched for 1/31).
Brakes became hard to depress and engage while vehicle was moving.almost crashed vehicle.afraid to drive. Brought to dealer.said it was bad brake booster.after doing some research, found out should replace vacume pump, master cylinder, hose line, etc., so i did.44k miles, 3 year old truck, happened on /12/10/17 brought to dealer garber gmc in florida for $1300 repair on 12/11/2017.no warning signs when this happened.very dangerous when brakes fail while vehicle is in motion.
Brake vacuum pump booster. First started when driving under 5 mph. The brakes were hard to push down and would not stop the truck properly. Did this for approximately 3 months. Then driving getting off the interstate and applied brakes going 60 mph the brakes would not work. Could barley stop. Same issue has when driving slow. Now the brakes will not work at any speed. They truck is undrivable until it gets fixed.
Vehicle's brakes become stiff at low rpm causing difficulties stopping.
At low speeds (parking speed, school pickup lines, creeping traffic speed) the brake pedal will lose all boost pressure.the brake pedal becomes extremely stiff and ineffective.this situation occurred on a few occasions and caused great alarm with myself and my wife.great potential exists for an accident involving machinery, animals or human beings.the vehicle was taken promptly to the local gmc dealership for service with a copy of gm service bulletinno.: pit5361b.the dealer kept the vehicle for several days to perform an existing safety recall for steering anomalies (recall # 18289) as well as diagnose and repair the brake boost issue.service bulletin pit5361b was followed and the vacuum pump assembly was replaced to resolve the brake boost issue.this repair occurred at 40728 miles - just beyond warranty coverage terms.total cost of repair $686.56.the brake boost issue has not reoccurred to date since the repair.this vehicle is not abused or involved in any rigorous activity.it is a general use vehicle and is used primarily for family errands and road trips.
Brakes completely failed.replaced brakes on all 4 wheels, but to no avail.then replaced the master cylinder and still no brakes.my fence pole and mailbox stopped my vehicle.
While driving at slow speeds, the brake pedal became very hard to push.this caused the truck to be difficult to stop, which caused me to almost rear-end the vehicle in front of me.this has happened several times.in response to this, the gmc dealer replaced the vacuum pump.
I was following my daughter who was exiting the gas station and pulling out onto route 149.as she pulled up to route 149 she stopped to check traffic.i was behind her in my 2015 gmc sierra 1500, going approx. 2 mph.when i hit the brakes, nothing happened.the truck kept moving forward and i hit the rear of my daughters car, cracking the rear bumper.no damage to the truck because i was only going a couple mph, luckily my daughter had her foot on the break of her car, otherwise i would have pushed her right into oncoming traffic.the fact that she had her foot on the brake is what stopped my truck.we both backed up and got out of the intersection, when backing up the brakes worked fine.there wasn't a spot to leave the truck so i had to drive 3 miles back to my house.the brakes worked perfectly after, no issues what so ever.it seemed like at the slow speed that brakes didn't have any boost (or pressure), the pedal was very very stiff, it felt like it was pushing back against me when i hit the rear of my daughters car.but driving home everything worked perfect.i'm bringing the truck in (approx. 72k miles) to have it looked at but i'm concerned the dealer will not know what to fix as the issue seems to be intermittent.this was a very dangerous intersection and i could have pushed my daughter into oncoming traffic and the result would have been much much worse.something seems to be seriously wrong with the brakes and when googling this issue, i found many similar issues/complaints regarding the brakes.
I was on a major highway traveling when the traffice became stop and go.as i was traveling in heavy traffic for about 5 minutes, my brake became stiff and would not allow me to stop as normal.i was able to stop just short of rear-ending the vehicle in front of me, however it was merely by inches.considerations : i was on a slight decline and my vehicle has start assist where the brake pedal remains stiff when in effect, it felt like this activated.i continued to increase pressure through which i thought i heard the abs activate and the vehicle stopped.
The brake turn hard when i am going in reverse in a slow speed.

At slow speeds, mainly when backing and turning wheel when going forward at very slow speed, steering loses power. Also some times hard to turn when vehicle not in motion at all. The last time it happened all interior lights and radio flashed totally off and right back on. I heard a dinging/warning noise and a warning message flashed but went off before i had a chance to read it.

When turning or backing up at slow speeds steering is lost or the wheel jerks violently. There are chimes and messages displayed for stabillitrakand anti-theft warning. Message to roll the window all the way down and up will also appear vehicle electrical power is affected. The system seems to keep resetting. All power will be lost and vehicle will not start.
Power steering comes and goes, when it goes you cannot hardly steer vehicle. Gmc says my truck not covered under recall and wants 2500 to fix problem. Mostly does it in a low speed turn.
All screen shut off while driving, turning right or left the steering wheel kick to the other side and appear a notification on screen "stabilitrack", almost have a accident because i was on a high volume traffic roadthe problem wet worst after the recall service #n182202780, check other complaint with the same problems: 11118538, 11123815, 11141357,11141855, 11204970,
I only have 57,000 miles on my truck, which is why i am reporting this. The truck turns off completely. I have been going to make a right/left turn and the truck shuts down completely. I have no power steering and limited brakes. This has happened to me twice now. I am lucky enough that i am strong enough to turn the truck without power steering otherwise i would have hit vehicles both times this happened. There has to be some type of electrical flaw that is making this happen. I want to get this resolved before my insurance company has to get involved because i am in a car accident. If this is something the manufacturer takes care of that would be great, otherwise i would just like to know if someone else has had this issue and has found the resolution.
Truck has 3 problems that can put my family's life in danger. 1- sometimes out of nowhere at low speeds when you turn the steering wheel to make a left or right turn the 'stabilitrac' light flashes in the screen and locks and won't let you turn the steering wheel.at this point you have no control of the steering wheel, it locks and bounces back at you and if you keep trying to turn it,the engine cuts off all power and it stalls, just dies. I almost got read ended a couple of times already due to this problem. Just this morning i was making a right onto a local mcdonald's and the steering wheel locked and the engine died on me. I had to quickly turn it on again and keep going.another time it happen as i was merging into traffic. Very scary!problem number two, i think its just a matter of time before the steering wheel locks on me on high speeds. Sometimes when i'm on the freeway, the same chimes come on when istep on the brakes, the center screens goes black, and the same 'stabilitrac'warning comes on the smaller screen behind the steering wheel. I'm afraid to take it on a winding road for fear that the steering wheel will lock on me cause an accident.3- service brake controllersign and chimes come on ant won't go away. It jus keeps on popping on and on and on and they go away when you turn off the truck, and come on again months or weeks later.i did have it checked at my local dealership.they tested it, sold me new ground and hot wires. It was good for about 4 weeks before the same problems came back again. I did some research on some of the forums and you tube videos and by far i'm the only one with the same problem. Very afraid to cause an accident.
Pickup has had reoccurring service power steering message come up in information center.took to gm and they said it needed a new negative battery cable.bought one and installed it.still have the same problem.upon dong some searching, its a very common problem among certain gm vehicles.one weekend the power steering quit working all together at 70 mph on a curve.talk about scary!i called gm customer service to ask about coverage on the issue and was denied because my vehicle was not one affected by the suspect faulty parts.i am very disappointed in gm's lack of caring for my safety in this situation.will not be purchasing another gm.if they no that this is their problem i truly believe they should stand behind their product and take care of their customers.
Power steering hard to turn at low speeds and backing up and cluster gauges go dim then back to normal

When making slight left turns, the truck would flash stabilitrak on the display and the steering wheel would automatically pull out of my hands and make the wheels straighten up. The radio would then go dead and then 5 to 10 seconds later the entire truck would turn off. This happened while driving down the road. This happened on 2 separate occasions with no other warnings. I contacted gmc and they have not given me any type of answer or assistance.

While driving down the streets, truck loses all electrical power, loses power steering,radio, gauge cluster power and engine dies. Happened several times today. It immediately all comes back on(so far) but could definitely be a safety concern if the conditions were right.
Electric steering started leaking took it to dealer wasinformed unit has to be replaced at a cost 1660. Dollars truck has 76000 miles
While at low speed and at stops while turning the wheel the entire dash and engine cut off and come back on. The steering also locks up to a point of not turning either way. All incidents happened on a very smooth flat road. This put my life in danger on one occasion while turning on a highway where my entire truck shut off mid turn.i have video of this occurring on my phone if you would like to reach out to me for that. I believe this to be a stabiltrac issue, one of gmc's traction control branding things. I have seen this issue all over google while searching it and it needs to be recalled! i would like to know if this will happen.
Wheel got real hard to move

On 2/5/2017 while turning unto my street the steering wheel locked and i could not move my truck from hitting a block wall. I also tried breaking but the car did not stop in time to not hit the wall. I was driving slowly (20 mph) because i was in a neighborhood and me and my family were all wearing seatbelts so no one was seriously injured. The airbags did not deploy at all. And i also bent the steering wheel in half trying to move it. I am attaching a picture of the steering wheel itself and the vehicle is currently at caliber collisions for the repairs.

I purchased a gmc sierra 2015 regular cab from your company representative, aljomaih automotive company in the kingdom of saudi arabia. However, after a few months, i discovered that the vehicle had several defects, and it exposes its users to serious threat.after that, ministry of commerce in kingdom of saudi arabia has made several callsfor users of the same vehicle that they have to check with the representativeto fix the defect for free. However, the representative temporized and evaded, then i had to file a lawsuit against aljomaih automotive company, general motors’s representative in the kingdom of saudi arabia. The court ordered the experts' department to checkthe vehicle by five specialized workshops, and reports were issued unanimously on the following: "the defect in the mentioned vehicle is a factory defect, which was found in all vehicles of the same type and not only the mentioned vehicle". Also, i have submitted report to the court from the general motors website proving that the mentioned vehicle is faulty with three other defects. As well as, all six calls were issued by the ministry of commerce, including the mentioned vehicle, with the chassis number.
Steering electrical assist fightback, driving,turning resulting in no steering-deadly! this can happen at any time while driving. Very dangerous! engine must be shut off and restarted before you can get out of street. Then message reads "lower driver window then raise" before proceeding.
While pulling into a parking lot ant a friend apartment i was turning into a parking spot when the truck completely died causing no power steering or braked nearly causing me to hit his neighbors car.
The rack and pinion on the truck has started to click and pop. When i took the truck in they dealer said that the stearing gear in the rack and pinion have started to failed. The truck only had 33,000 miles on it when it started to go bad. Ive looked into this and it seems to be a problem with many more gm truck owners. This happens anytime you turn the steering wheel.
When at highway speeds of approximately 65+ mph the vehicle begins to vibrate or shake violently as if the rear end of the truck is about to fall out. It is bad enough to make you white knuckle the steering wheel cause you to swerve slightly
When turning the wheel sharply at low speeds, the power steering suddenly turns off, as well as all other electronics making the vehicle difficult to control and posing a safety risk.
Has had an issue with accessories flashing off and back on.reported it to a gmc dealer and they were unable to duplicate but said that the battery was bad and most likely what was causing it.it did fine for a while then began doing it again.this time however it caused a loss in power steering and i ended up in the ditch.later it did it in a parking lot and was able to video tape it.took it to the dealer and showed them the video.they were unable to duplicate for 4 days while i was paying for a rental because mine wasn't safe to drive.on the fourth day i provided them with a service bulletin i found that addressed the issue as being a fluctuation in power and for them to check the cables and do a drop load test.they did and it failed.i then had to pay 376.00 to replace them plus having to pay for a rental after asking for a loaner.this is a problem a lot of people are having.just a quick google search makes that plain.gm isn't wanting to admit it.i have the video but i don't think it will allow me to upload it to the form.
When exiting from one highway to another in heavy traffic were breaking was required, my trucks power steering and power brakes had completely gone out. I was on a straight track for a highway patrol who was standing outside his vehicle along with another motorist. After fighting to steer the truck while trying to brake to avoid hitting other motorists i realized that the truck had also died. Shook up and scared i started the truck and began to drive away with the officer yelling what the hell are you doing. The truck has done this several times. Three of which almost resulted in an accident. It has been in the dealership were they told me it was a high resistance in the negative battery cable which was replaced and resulted in no change.

I am in receipt of the paperwork concerning the above claimed for my vehicle. The paperwork in my possession clearly states that farmers insurance has made me aware that my vehicle 'has been determined to be a total loss'. I am concerned about these findings since it seemed my vehicle only suffered minor damages to the exterior only. Airbags where not deployed nor any windows shattered.i am also in receipt of the paperwork concerning my claim and determining i am 51% at fault towards the accident. I clearly gave my side of the story to the police office that my steering wheel had locked and i was unable to maneuver the vehicle. I was not under the influence of any drugs so i feel mechanical failure should be assessed.supplemental information was also sent to me where it clearly states recall notices for my vehicle. Recall notice nhtsa campaign id # 14v719000, dated by the manufacturer november 10, 2014 states a recall notice naming the steering as the component needing to be replaced. I never received any information from the manufacturer gmc/chevrolet concerning this matter. Upon review of this letter, please also take into consideration the recalls that you have provided me and reconsider pursuing of subrogation from a third party, i.e. Gmc/chevrolet manufacturer.
Vehicle was parked at work. Started the vehicle to go home and backed out of space and that is when there was no steering available. I could only go back. So backed it into another parking space, and had to leave the vehicle until the next morning when i had it towed to the nearest gm dealership. They now tell me that the module is dead and that it will cost us to replace this. Also when replacing the module, if they find the steering rack needs to be replaced, we will be responsible for this as well, on top of labor charges. I had only recently purchased this vehicle 7 months ago. I am very disappointed with the response from gmc in this matter.
Steering rack makes a loud clunking/clicking noise when turning in either direction.
Power steering goes out and at time turn truck power off whenever i attempt a slow tight turn like backing into my driveway or making tight turns going into parking lots and/or spaces. Most recently, when attempting a u-turn at a busy intersection, power steering went out and engine died.i had to coast to the side to avoid moving traffic.each time this issue happens i hear 3 dings all my dash & screen lights flash off then on with clicking noises. Dash info changes from speedometer to radio setting. If i look at screen quickly enough when this happens i would sometimes read ā€œrear parking assist unavailableā€¯ or something like that. If air conditioning is on it would turn off then on. Doors will unlock then lock, all this happening simaltaneously while attempting to make a turn
On tuesday, december 20th 2016 at approximately 7:15pm while driving south on new river road in lincoln ri i tried to make a left turn onto a side street. When i turned the steering wheel left it was snatched out of my hands and the steering wheel automatically turned back to center it self. I could not maneuver the vehicle as it rolled up onto the sidewalk where i had to use the emergency brake to force the vehicle from rolling into a tree. The vehicle dic displayed "park assist" and afterwards the vehicle went completely dead...no lights or sounds when i tried turning the key to restart it. Lifted up the hood and all the electronics came back on and vehicle started. Dic prompt displayed "open and then close the driver side window" had vehicle taken to dealer for service.

The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving and turning into a shopping center, the entire vehicle shut off, including the engine, electrical system, and instrument panel. The steering wheel also seized along with the windows. When the contact stopped and restarted the vehicle, the control panel and odometer display delayed to show the correct reading and the clock had to be reset. The display instructed the contact to roll the window down and back up. The contact had to wait several minutes to get power to restart the vehicle. The failure had occurred three times every three months. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drive home. The vehicle was taken to regal gmc (2615 lakeland hills blvd, bldg 3, lakeland, fl 33805, (863) 262-4222) for a recall repair. The dealer was unable to locate any failure codes.

The failure mileage was 25,000. The vin was unknown.
Loss of power steering assist, steering wheel jerks or kicks back when turning, messages with warning chime appear on instrument panel which also goes blank or inoperative, engine stalls and dies. This happens while vehicle is in motion on city street or hwy i10 (in bumper to bumper traffic) and when turning or backing up into a parking spot.this has happened before but more recently lately (at least once a day since 9/16 -9/18/2017)
Vehicle is shutting off at any given speed, ie. 35 mph in town or 70 mph on a highway with oncoming traffic. When vehicle shuts off, loss of all control of the vehicle takes place. No brakes, no steering, nothing until the vehicle randomly turns back on. This is not a consistent occurrence to know when it is going to happen or be prepared for it to happen. I watched my husband shoot across the road into the other lane and almost put the vehicle over a bank one night when it happened. This has been an issue since january 2018 for us, we have taken it to the dealer where it was purchased multiple times for them to tell us they can't duplicate the issue and nothing is coming up in their system for an error code. It has caused a major inconvenience for my family, as we don't dare put our children in the truck leaving the responsibility solely on one parent to transport the kids to and from daycare. I worry for the safety of my husband on a daily basis.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the weight of the trailer cord made the cord hang. As a result, the trailer brake became nonfunctional. The trailer could not haul heavy materials and was a hazard to the contact's safety. Also, "trailer brake fail" appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was driven to joe fuoco motor company (741 n 1st st, grand junction, co 81501, (970) 701-4773), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,000. The vin was unknown.
Headlights are inadequate on high or low beams. It seems that the light is focused into two narrow beams in an effort to make up for the low lumen level of the led bulbs. These narrow beams don't light up enough of what is in front of you for night driving.i have to use my fog lamps to turn onto streets without street lights on the corner.the recirculating switch for the ventilation system will not even reduce the amount of outside air coming into the cabin, much less occlude it.not good in 5 o:clock traffic or when your behind a diesel burner.the dealership acts like they are clueless and say everything is working as it should.after reading this form with so many headlight complaints, i asked if they had ever gotten any complaints like mine and they denied that they ever have; and they did it with a straight face!
Design flaw in cabin air filtration system leading to health hazard within the vehicle.on two occasions in my first 16 months of ownership, mice have entered the cowl air plenum area and built nests on top of and out of the cabin air filter material.both times the filter has become saturated with mouse dander, feces and other materials.eventually these contaminants work their way through the filter and an odor is noticed inside the vehicle.the mice are believed to enter this area through significant unscreened openings at the ends of a plastic cover over the plenum in the windshield wiper area under the hood.i have contacted gm with regard to this design flaw.their only response was to establish their case number 711507394608. No further action was taken.so far, my dealer has continued to repair the damage and install new cabin filters.no attempt has been made to block or screen the openings.the truck is regularly garaged with two other non-gm vehicles that do not have this problem.individuals with respiratory conditions should be concerned about the significant plenum design flaw in these gm trucks.
Scratches and clear coat flaking from road debri.lots of chips when washed after driving.
I was driving down the road about a quarter mile from my house and the rear windshield on the driver side of my truck shattered.this is after i had them look at the same window for the defroster no longer seeming to be working.i've done research and seen the service bulletin n192265660, however my truck is not covered.
2015 gmc sierra paint is blistering and peeling in truck bed. Never hauled anything in it. Gmc dealership's body shop said factory paint didn't stick to the primer. Coming off in big pieces. Had truck for 3 1/2 years. Called gmc and gmc said out of warranty.
Radiator coolant leak, replacement radiator with 11000 miles has begun to leak now. . fuel injectors had to be replaced at 60000 miles. Blue paint is peeling off in sheets
When at highway speeds of approximately 65+ mph the vehicle begins to vibrate or shake violently as if the rear end of the truck is about to fall out. It is bad enough to make you white knuckle the steering wheel cause you to swerve slightly
Remotely started the vehicle this morning and came out to find it smoke filled and the rear defrost on driver's side window was on fire and smoking. It filled car with smoke and shattered the window.
Paint is literally falling off in chunks. I baby my truck. Its mint condition, but i noticed the paint is not adhering to the primer in atleast 2 spots. After some rain, the paint just fell off the vehicle. Gm refuses to assist in repairing. For the cost of the vehicle this is absolutely a major issue. This vehicle has no claims or previous body damage.
The pain on the gmc vehicle is defective it started to peel on its own under heavy rain! that has never occurred to any of my vehicles that i have owned for over 15 years! i have read there are many consumers complaining about this issue and nothing has been done the vehicle is less than 5 years old!
Under body coating is peeling on a brand new truck. Its rusting because the steel is completely exposed.
On several occasions all sounds from door chime, radio, onstar, etc. Have failed. Further the paint is beginning to blister from underneath. Gm is denying both problems exist. Gm says the paint issue is due to application of an extreme heat source. Arizona is hot, but not that hot. The sound issue is a safety hazard. The paint issue is typical corporate denial of legitimate claims.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the frame rusted all over without warning. The dealer determined that it was surface rust, which was not covered under the warranty. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that surface rust was not covered by the warranty. The failure was not remedied. The failure mileage was approximately 24,000.

Paint peeling down to primer coat in various areas on the truck.not chips, dents or dings.this is paint failure.
2015 gmc sierra paint is blistering and peeling in the truck bed. Contacted gmc thru their app and the said to take to the dealership body shop. They took pictures and said it looks like the paint wasn't sticking to the primer. Gmcsaid the truck was out of warranty. I could have someone repaint it at my own expense.
The vehicle always has a smell of dampness after a rain. Somehow water is getting into the vehicle.i have replaced the seal around the third-brake light which was thought to be the culprit, but no fix.the rear seat metal has rust on them from the damp. The driver's seat creaks when making turns.it is like it about to come apart.there should be a recall on this. People could get hurt if it happens. Le under the vehicle, i noticed that a body-mount is missing under the driver's side. This could be the reasons for the creaking.i am not sure!
This complaint is regarding excessive surface rust on not only the frame of my truck, but on critical engine component clamps in the engine bay.any screw style hose clamp in my engine bay are rusted worse than my other 9 year old car with 102,000 miles on it.i wash my truck, including undercarriage, periodically throughout the winter to try and keep the salt off.my truck is a 2015 with 40,000 miles, and just recently, the rust had completely eaten through the lower radiator hose clamp causing all the engine coolant to leak out.i noticed the rest of the clamps within the engine bay to be in the same condition, along with the frame, and suspension components.it is clearly only a matter of time before they fail while i am driving, which could cause a failure of any system using one of these rusted clamps, such as the brake lines, power steering lines, oil lines, or transmission fluid lines.
The paint on my 2015 gmc sierra is bubbling and peeling. After much research i found that this a consistent defect on my year vehicle. I contacted gmc and my dealer thorson gmc in pasadena california. The service manager at thorson gmc don schwartz had his body shop look at the paint on my truck and his response to me was that the paint on the chipping areas on my truck, both rear doors and the roof, was extremely thin and that he would try to get gmc to repaint my doors and roof at their expense. Two weeks later mr. Schwartz calls me back and tells me that gmc is only willing to pay 40% of a $5000 paint repair and that i would have to pay $3140 if i wanted my chips repaired. I feel that this is ridiculous to have to pay for an obvious factory defect. Additionally i really feel for the thousands of people facing the same problem because gm didn't paint their vehicles correctly
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving various speeds, the vehicle began to squeak and shake. The vehicle was taken to ferguson gmc in norman, oklahoma twice where routine service was performed. It was diagnosed that dirt and debris between the leaf springs caused squeaking noises. The dealer cleaned and lubricated the leaf spring pads and stated that the noise was not present after the initial repair. Upon taking a test drive, the noise from the leaf springs ensued. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that the vehicle operated the way it was designed. In addition, the manufacturer stated that once the vehicle was out of warranty, the failure would be considered a manufacturer's defect for which the contact would be financially responsible. An unknown tsb was issued regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 24,000.
My truck suffers from vibration problems, the same thing that 10,837 other posts from other people suffering the same problem are talking about on this forum. Http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/153186-shake-or-vibration-issues/page-723this forum has been viewed over 1.5 million times which means a ton of people are having this issue.this is absolutely a risk to motor vechicle safety and absolutely exists in a group of vechicles of the same design or manufacture.the problems this shake presents that pose a danger are vibrations so significant that it can cause driver distraction, fatigue on long trips, potential loss of control, not to mention long term health effects from vibration exposure. The health effects defined are as follows:"the effects of whole body vibration (wbv) have been studied extensively in occupational medicine. In particular, it has been shown that when the body undergoes chronically to whole body vibrations spinal degeneration is likely to be one of the deleterious outcomes. Low back pain has been shown to be the leading major cause of industrial disability in the population under the age of 45 years and has been linked to whole body vibration exposure encountered in some industrial settings. Whole body vibration has been recently purposed as an exercise intervention suggesting its effectiveness in increasing force-generating capacity in lower limbs and low back. It has also been reported to be an effective non-pharmacological intervention for patients with low back pain. Relatively short exposure to whole body vibration has been also shown to increase the serum levels of testosterone and growth hormone. The combined effects on the neuromuscular system and endocrine system seem to suggest its effectiveness as a therapeutic approach for sarcopenia and possibly osteoporosis."
Vehiclehas a pulsing vibration between 45 and 68 mph. Started at 3000 miles. Vehicle is now at 7500 miles and vibration is getting worse
The rear leaf springs pop and groan while the vehicle is in motion at low speeds, especially while turning in reverse. Gm knows about the problem and every time i go to them they say it's normal.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph, there was an abnormal vibration in the cabin of the vehicle.

I bought the vehicle new in 9/2015. I reported a vibration between 75-80mph to the nearby gm dealer (twice). The dealer kept the truck for a few days and stated they could not correct the problem. I took the truck back to the original dealer where i bought it, they did a road force balance on the tires and reported the problem fixed. I took the truck back to the original dealer at 13k miles, they kept the truck for a few days and reported the tires needed to be replaced. They replaced the tires and stated the vibration has been resolved. I drove the truck for another 3k miles and noticed that the vibration was starting up again. At 18k miles, i returned the truck to the original dealer and they are going to try and resolve the problem a 5th time.
I began to hear what sounded like loose rear suspension components about a year into owning the truck.i took it in for service and was advised that per the gm service bulletin, they re-torque the leaf spring bolts.it was fine for a couple of months, then the noise began again.it's now been to the dealer 4 times with 11 days out of service.the response continues to be, they've re-torqued the bolts to gm specs and nothing else they can do.it's very clear by the noise that can be heard, both while moving forward and backing in, something is not within specs.the truck is under warranty and i am a couple of months over on lemon law arbitration.gm is doing nothing to address what could easily be a safety issue and i'm concerned that the bolts continually need to be re-torqued.i've taken to online forum searches to find that this is a common problem with a similar tap dance done by gm.it's shameful that consumers are buying a $40k to $70k truck and having these issues with no solutions being provided through the truck warranty.and when the warranty runs out, how expensive will this be?not to forget, dangerous.i am concerned that one day, the rear-end is going to come out from under my truck and hopefully it's not while on the highway with my daughter in the truck.my truck is used for my daily commute to and from work.it's well maintained, not abused and has under 20k miles.i've turned to bbb for help and was offered 2 years of oil changes by gm.oil changes don't fix the problem!
Truck starts to vibrate at 60 mph and gets worse the faster you go.
Symptom of hot air blowing while using the a/c, stationary or while operating.filled with coolant which only lasted about one week.reviewed forums and tsb's to note a common issue with the condenser.dealer wanted to diagnose and replace items in order that did not include replacing the condenser at the top of that list.purchased a third party condenser, vacuum pump, and necessary fluids and accessories and replaced by myself.a/c has been working reliably for several months.although i saved about 2k dollars (all materials cost about 500 hundred dollars), it's clear that this issue is known and should be a recall.
Ac condenser
There is a leak on the top right hand side of the a/c condenser resulting in hot air coming out of the vents when the a/c is enabled. After some research i found that this is a common issue and gm has to take responsibility for it. Gm already issued a tsb for the 2015 - 2017 tahoes, yukons, and escalades with the same engines and equipment as my 2015 gmc sierra with 45000 mi. Tsb # 17336 air conditioning condenser (combi-cooler) refrigerant leak
Ref. Complaint # 11013360. Once again, at 14,842 miles, i was coastingafter turning into a long driveway, i pushed the accelerator to continue.. The engine revved and the truck acted as if it was in neutral. This time, in the security of my driveway, i did not touch the gear shift as i had in times before. This time i just triedpushing the accelerator. After four attempts where the engine just revved.the gear finally "caught after the fourth attempt to accelerate". Once again, i took it into my dealership and they could not find anything wrong, nor could they duplicate this issue. Please, i need something done! i am driving cross country from south carolina to wyoming in one month. I am very apprehensive about driving this truck as i feel it is unsafe and will cause me to crash. I have not heard a response from you since first reporting this problem 8/7/2017.
Vehicle had a fire starting in the dashboard area behind instrument cluster i think.it took less than 15 minutes from the smell of and issue to flames visible.i noticed the gauges becoming erratic than the check engine light came on with what felt like the 4 wheel drive kicking in and out followed by the motor running poorly.i pulled over, turned the vehicle off as the smoke started. Than dialed 911.. Trooper was there in 6 minutes with fire department shortly after.i was on a highway traveling about70 mph.there were quite a few potholes as this was winter time.lights were on, cruise was on, heated seats and steering wheel were on, radio was on, phone and laptop were charging ( laptop utilizing 110 outlet in truck).
I was riding on the freeway and someone flagged me down and said you car is on fire.the fire was between the cab and the bed of the truck on 3/22/2017. On 4/11/2017 is began to smell of smoke whenever i crank. The smell is coming through the vents. Also the vehicle will not pass inspection because of the emissions for the past 4 months. I am paying a note on this vehicle monthly and am not able to use it. I can't get it inspected and the registration is out therefore i cannot drive it.
What happened to the yukon a/c issue happened to me. What would it take to make sure the sierra has the same recall as the yukon? "yukon and yukon xl vehicles, may have a condition where thermal cycling on the combination transmission fluid/oil and ac condenser cooler creates a crack that may allow refrigerant to escape. This condition consequently may deactivate the ac system which may cause potential customer annoyance."
2015 gmc sierra 1500 has a vibration problem. Been in shop 2 times so far wheels and tires balanced. Still the vehicles vibratesat speeds 77 and up at 85 you cant stand to be in vehiclehave drove on new pavement, interstate, changed lanes still no change. I have a video on this as well as a lot of videos on u tube to show vibration at highway spends this is a problem on 2014 and 2015 and the dealership and gm states this is normal but will not give you that in writing they state they all do it.
Air conditioning condenser coil. Condenser coil is leaking. Truck is less than 2 years old with the problem starting.
The a/c went out. Have 36000 miles this shouldn't be messing up.
Air conditioner blows hot air as a result of line system leak.air conditioning failure do to known tsb pit5331.gmc has covered this issue for like suv models (escalade, tahoe, yukon), but wants over $1,000 to repair gmc sierra 1500 at gmc dealership.this is a faulty product design that is a known problem per their own service bulletin, and associated harness to enforce faulty air conditioner unit design.
March 2017, at 10,881 miles i accelerated to pass a car, lost power, like it suddenly went into neutral.i tried several gears, multiple times, before being able to finally get the manual gear to get me home.local dealership cleaned upthe transmission ofbroken metal parts. 2,500 miles later, i tried to accelerate after turning into a long driveway, again no power. I tried several gears as before and the manual gear got me to the house.the engine was working and rpms revved, and just like before, felt like it was in neutral. Dealership went above and beyond to try toduplicate the problem. They even checked my truck for the gm recall #14192, nhtsa campaign id # 14v374000, because it was having the same issues. I think that the broken parts found the first time was an incidental finding due to the fact that the problem has happened twice. During all this there has been small electrical issues ie: weak sounding buzzers when i open the door, internal lights either staying on or not coming on at all, and intermittent issues with remote start. My husband bought this truckbrand new in march 2016, 6 weeks before he died, so this truck has a lot of sentiment, however, i am very concerned that this truck is unsafe. The fear of being t-boned in an intersection, or suddenly losing power in 70mph traffic is terrifying! i am moving from sc to wyoming in 6 weeks and am scared to death i am going to have problems.i have reported this to the gm complaint dept. Service case # 83120854028. The only paperwork i have are the service records from the local gm dealership.
The air conditioning started blowing hot air while moving. The truck is only 4 years old with 75000 miles on it. In doing research we have learned that this is a common problem with the gmc sierra's and it not covered by gm even though it appears to be a design flaw.
I was warming the truck up in the morning with the auto start, parked, and had the auto defrost turned on for the rear.when i entered the truck and closed the door the rear passenger window that is facing the bed, shattered. I'm assuming the defrost is running too hot and weakened the glass or something related to the issue.i know of several other people that have this problem as well.https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/209824-2017-sierra-denali-rear-window-exploded/?page=5
Torque converter. Me and along with 4 other people are having problems with it. Upon start up and driving it starts to get sluggish and then just comes almost to a complete stop only building rpm's accrodding to the gm dealership it's normal. With all the gmc trucks i've owned it has never done this. And is only starting to do it over the past couple of months. I've talked to a guy who just had 2 replaced in his truck and is continuing to have the problem. To avoid any vehicle damage for anyone else i'm considering if you can check and see if anyone else is having the issue. I take very good care of my truck i don't mud in it or drive it crazy(wreck less). Dealership is also pretty much refusing to look into the problem or diagnosing it considering that it's 'normal' for the truck do that. Which i strongly disagree.
The gmc sierra has a terrible vibration from 70 - 80 mph. It has been in the shop 7 times over the last year, 9 new tires, and the vibration still continues. I have attempted to resolve the issue with gm but there has been no resolution. The truck feels unstable and like something is going to break on the highway which is a safety concern. This vehicle has issues and it needs addressed.
Hard brakepedal at low speeds especially while towing or traveling on inclines. Brake pedal becomes hard to decompress without warning and vehicle is unable to be stopped.
At 50,000 miles, and 24 months after purchasing it new, the air conditioning stopped working due to a faulty condenser. After investigating this problem i found out that there is an extremely high failure rate of gmc trucks for the same exact problem. It is a well known defect per several gm dealers who are left to deal with the problem. A bracket to secure the a/c line was never installed when vehicle was built, causing movement in the line which eventually can ruin the condenser, ac line and compressor. I asked gm dealer to fix under warranty but was told that the best that gm was willing to do was to pay 40% of the repair bill. This is unacceptable, as the defect is widespread in many of their light trucks
I bought this new on jan 3, 2016on july 26 26, 2019 while from waco to ft. Worth texas, my ac compressor seized and blew destroyed the serpentine belt. I had to replace the ac compressor and belt.31,000 miles but out of warranty. Last week i was driving home from work and felt the ac was again blowing hot air.i took it in and today 06/29/20 i have to replace the ac condenser as it has a leak at a weld point.i have read dozens of complaints that this is a known issue and defect. I will now be out over $2,000 for a known problem and issue.i have read the tsb, watched news reports and on-line forums.the tech at my dealership said this is a super common problem with these vehicles.that seems like it would lead to a recall.
I have a 2015 gmc sierra with 95,198 miles on it.the ac started blowing hot air when i was driving to work. I purchased and installed an ac refill kit, which only lasted a couple of hours.i took my truck to the local gm dealership to diagnose problem.dealership called to tell me that it would be $800+ to replace ac condenser.upon further investigation i discovered that faulty ac condensers, and compressors are very common problems in certain gmc, chevy, and cadillac vehicles.why are consumers stuck paying out of pocket for known defects that are in excess of $800?
A/c condenser is leaking, and has in every gmc that i have seen. Nothing has been done differently. The condenser just started leaking.
Case 3:18-cv-00096 billy frank and john o'brien, on behalfof themselves and all others similarly situated. This outlines the issue in detail.https://www.lieffcabraser.com/pdf/gm_ac_system_complaint.pdf
2015 gmc sierra 1500 air conditioning has stopped working. This appears to be a very common problem and gmc has only issued spotty recalls for it. My truck has 46,000 miles and now my children get to ride in a hot vehicle because gm will not help with repair.
When at highway speeds of approximately 65+ mph the vehicle begins to vibrate or shake violently as if the rear end of the truck is about to fall out. It is bad enough to make you white knuckle the steering wheel cause you to swerve slightly
Curtain air bags deployed after loosing traction a bit in the highway also causing seat belts to get locked. Acceleration pedal will get stuck at times. Needed to push brake pedal half ways or more for brakes to kick in. Gm brake recall seems to have fixed that. A/c condenser and compressor continue to fail.
While driving, a message pops up on the display that reads: "warning taking your eyes off the road too long, or too often while using this system could cause a crash, resulting in injury or death to you or others. Focus your attention on driving"seriously, when a warning message pops up, we read it!i have gotten use to this stupidity and just hit ok. But even at that, you still get distracted.problem now, is that even hitting ok does not clear it.this message should never happen.i have read that this a big issue among many gmc and chevy owners. Gm is literally creating the safety hazard.
I was towing a camper down rt 422 in butler, pa in my gmc truck when it suddenly caught fire.my wife was following me and alerted me to pull over as quickly as possible. I had no brakes and the gear shifter went straight up without shifting.the doors would also not open while the truck was filling with smoke.i got out using the manual unlock knob and am lucky to be alive. We had about one minute to try to extinguish the flames before it fully engulfed both my truck and camper.i filed a complaint with gmc.by what i am reading online there are many instances of fires and gmc does not seem to provide assistance.this is very unnerving and scary to say the least. I am sad and angry for this situation.this happened through no fault of my own and i lost absolutely everything. I was in the middle of moving to start a new job and lost many work items in my truck as well. I had to delay my start date for work. Now i am responsible for deductables, insurance increases and other items not covered by my insurance.now i have to buy a new vehicle and camper but what will gmc do to help me? probably nothing.
Rear window defroster started smoking and created a burning plastic smell. After turning off the rear defroster the rear window exploded/shattered in place. I see there is a recall in canada, but not here. This is happening here and i have read of many others with same issue. Fire and broken glass is not safe and should be addressed
When turning or backing up at slow speeds steering is lost or the wheel jerks violently. There are chimes and messages displayed for stabillitrakand anti-theft warning. Message to roll the window all the way down and up will also appear vehicle electrical power is affected. The system seems to keep resetting. All power will be lost and vehicle will not start.
Roof antenna leakingafter 2.5 years the roof mount antenna for xm radio started leaking into headliner causes radio to get intermittent signal.leak travels down driver side pillar into dash board which will cause electrical shorting and failure. This problem is due to a faulty design of the antenna.there are thousands of complaints online regarding this problem. Dealer refused to replace at there expense. Contacted gm who also refused to replace it.this was a $60,000 truck less than 3yrs old. It got my attention because i use xm radio and lost reception. There must be many more with this problem who don't even know it because they don't use xm radio. This is a serious problem having a leak traveling down into dashboard what else is affected air bags, lights, brakes etc.the design of this is awful gmc is extremely negligent not recalling on this problem
Ac condenser had to be replace due to leak.faulty design & installation.gm already recalled 2014 models with the same problem. Condenser line bracket mount does not allow the line to flex, thus making crack in condenser.repaired by the dealer at a cost of $775.61.
This post is about making the public aware of a potential problem. Although the manufacturer did not step up and do the right thing, i'm concerned others may have dealt with this problem or it may happen in the future. On august 29, 2018, my truck was parked on my driveway by 4pm after running errands for a couple of hours.at 6pm my husband went out to get something out of it and saw it had caught on fire.nothing was left plugged in and there was nothing flammable in the truck.the fire dept was called and upon inspection stated the fire had started in the center console and spread to the front passenger seat.the cause of the fire look to be wiring that overheated inside the console where the wiring connected to 2 usb ports.gm inspected the damage and found there was not a manufacturer defect and the cause of the fire was from an external source.ironically, their 3rd party "expert" fire investigator was not aware there was a wiring harness located behind the usb ports and had to be shown their location.my insurance company is now investigating the incident.i'm asking them to look into the 12v power outlet possibly overheating as i know of someone who had theirs overheat in their 2018 chevy silverado. The day after the fire i sent photos to them and they could not believe the damage.when i told them the outcome of gm's investigation they were dumbfounded.i'm fortunate no one was hurt, but am afraid this may happen to someone else.i made a 40k + investment with gm and literally "was burned".i want other to be aware of the potential fire danger.i did expect gm to step up and take care of their loyal customer (i've bought 8 gm vehicles), but it appears the almighty dollar won out.thankfully, in my case, no one was hurt.
All screens in vehicle shut off while driving, almost like the vehicle turned off. Then i was giving a service notification the the stabilitrak system.
A/c condenser leaking freon it's a known problem for gm
The air condition condensor is leaking and therefore caused the ac not work. We have purchased a new condensor to replace it and fix the problem but this should be covered by the manufacturer.
My 2015 gmc sierra 1500 (approximately 45,000 miles) had a defect that caused the ac system to crack and leak refrigerant, lose pressure, and fail to properly function. When i took my vehicle to a certified gm service center on 4/11/19, three other similar vehicles (make/model/year) were experiencing the same issue. Upon conducting further research i found that this issue is widespread amongst similar year gmc sierra and chevrolet silverado 1500 pickups. So much so that some areas are experiencing ac condenser replacement part shortages. My vehicle was no longer under warranty and gm refused to assist with the over $1,200 repair bill.
A/c started blowing hot air. Found out that the condenser had a leak. After doing some research i found that this has been a big problem
I was driving down the road about a quarter mile from my house and the rear windshield on the driver side of my truck shattered.this is after i had them look at the same window for the defroster no longer seeming to be working.i've done research and seen the service bulletin n192265660, however my truck is not covered.
Like so many others, my truck is not very old and has been blowing hot air for months.it appears to be the same condenser issue as reported by hundreds if not thousands more.after discovering this is chronic issue and ac delco* discontinued the original condenser* issued tsbs for the condenser which include a bracket to help prevent the issue(tsb pit5331/ oct 2014)(tsb pie0340 / may 2015)neither of these were either applied to my vehicle or were not effective in preventing the issue.it seems obvious that this is a defect in materials and workmanship based on their issuing of these tsbs and failure to recall these vehicles under warranty.they've apparently operated a blatant "let's wait and see" campaign, hoping those of us that didn't catch this under warranty will fall out of warranty as i have.several law firms have initiated class action suits against gm in regards to this, but it seems like that's a good chance to get lawyers rich and not get my truck fixed, or get a check for $9.99...as a summary - my truck began blowing warm air last fall, but i didn't recognize it as an issue as the weather was also turning cool and i wasn't using the a/c.ac/delco and general motors knows this is chronic and avoidable issuethe faulty parts have been replaced when the products fail under warrantyno effort has been made to replace the knowingly faulty parts.
A/c condenser is leaking - blowing hot air
I turned on the rear defroster, and my daughter said "mom, it's sizzling."i looked back and there was smoke on the rear window. Then there was a loud bang, and it shattered. The vehicle was not in motion at the time.i was just getting ready to back out of the parking area in my driveway.
Takata recall2015 gmc sierra 1500 bought it new. Started haveingmay a 2016 the ac went out and i was traveling and 3 of the pistonsstop working so i took it to a near gmc dealership they got repaireda trip made it back home for months later my engien stop working they said they needed to get the computer tested in case i damaged the engine and was proving that i didnt couse no damage engine they replaced the engine a year later in 2017 around december the transmissionand gmc replaced that god it was still under warranty and now again in 2018 and november my ac went out again i'm haveing attained to fix it because of what they charge to replace it a new vehicleam still payingand so many problemswhat am i reallypayingfor junck. I have had a 2013 with no problem that's y i upgraded. Believeme idont think.of up grading any more my truck is at 90.000 miles not am suck fixing a $50.000 truck it's sad.
A/c refrigerant leaks out and burns eyes while driving. After a few times of using and eyes burning, all refrigerant leaks out, leaving a/c nonworking in vehicle
When i press on the brakes, it feels as though the master cylinder is gone and it is the manual type drum brakes that has air in the line.it takes everything i have to press them and pray it stops!!the vehicle is always in motion when detecting this problem and seems to occur more repeatedly if the brakes are pump quickly in succession before applying brakes or when the brakes are pressed for an extended amount of time then you release and repress it want stop.another issue is my lane id warning.when turned on at the button, it just beeps at me and shows service light.when i first took it in with the problem, the dealership called me and said all fixed, but it did it before i left the parking lot.they had my truck all day for the issue, put me out of a vehicle and then said they would need for extended time to repair but didn't know there was problem.how do you make that determination when you told me its repaired.i just turned it off and haven't used in 2 years.
When my truck is at or above 70mph there is a constant shaking that occurs
The gmc sierra has a terrible vibration from 70 - 80 mph. It has been in the shop 7 times over the last year, 9 new tires, and the vibration still continues. I have attempted to resolve the issue with gm but there has been no resolution. The truck feels unstable and like something is going to break on the highway which is a safety concern. This vehicle has issues and it needs addressed.
Brought in my 2015 gmc 1500 sierra truck in for vibrations issues at high speed of 70-75 mph.after 4 attempts gmc corp refuses to admit that there is a safety issues in driving this vehicle at a normal rate. They continue to remove and replace the tires.i have never owned a vehicle before that such vibration is felt in the cabin of the truck, passenger seat, foot petal, etc.that is so uncomfortable, that my wife refuse to drive in the truck due to its safety.gmc will not acknowledge any of these complaints but will say everything is of specs.like others this is the worse vehicle i have ever purchased.found more complaints like this has been filed, but same result, gmc will do nothing.
A/c condenser had to be replaced as it leaked all the freon. My mechanic said he's had several of these gmc sierras and chevy silverados around the same age with the same problem.
Ac condenser unit starts leaking and vehicle ac stops blowing cool air. This may only seem like a inconvenience, but here in the south summers are unbearable without ac. Occupants of vehicles could easily succumb to heat exhaustion. It could be difficult for the driver to keep sweat out of his or her eyes. This inconvenience could lead to distracted/disgruntled driving. There are actually a number of reason that this could pose a serious safety risk. Gm is well aware of this issue and has failed to properly address the situation. I didn't notice that my ac wasn't working until my vehicle had 37,000 miles on it. I'm positive that it took longer than the few days between me being at 36,000 and 37,000 miles for the refrigerant to completely exit the system and the air to not work. Gm has offered a half-hearted goodwill repair that is still just shy of $600. This has been a known issue for gm for years and is not only negligent, selling me this vehicle in november of 2015 essentially constitutes fraud.
When i'm cruising highway speeds the truck get a violent vibration and makes the vehicle uncomfortable to drive.
A/c condenser bad. Freon leak.
Vehicle was stationary on the street, parked. I entered it, and turned on my front and rear defrosters with the setting on "hi." i turned around and verified that my vehicle had not been hit nor was any damage at all apparent to me. At some point as i sat there with the car idled and the heated air reaching its maximum temperature, i began to smell some foul smell in the cab that i believed was exhaust entering the cabin. I rolled down the window. As i brushed the snow from the front and began to drive away, i heard a noise that i believed was the snow falling from the roof. However, as i rolled away, i noticed a louder-than-normal cabin. Upon looking behind me, i noticed the rear right window within the sliding rear cabin window had blown out. Upon inspecting the area, i noticed that no snow or water was present inside. Given that we had received a lot of snow the previous evening through the morning, had the damage occurred throughout the evening or early morning, there would've been moisture present.
The vehicle always has a smell of dampness after a rain. Somehow water is getting into the vehicle.i have replaced the seal around the third-brake light which was thought to be the culprit, but no fix.the rear seat metal has rust on them from the damp. The driver's seat creaks when making turns.it is like it about to come apart.there should be a recall on this. People could get hurt if it happens. Le under the vehicle, i noticed that a body-mount is missing under the driver's side. This could be the reasons for the creaking.i am not sure!
Truck has vibration in the steering wheel and gas pedal between the speeds 30-75 mph. When driving the truck at any of the listed speeds and have the speed steady at said speed, vibration can be felt in the steering wheel and gas pedal in the 2wd and 4wd-auto modes. Also when theengine shifts from v8 to v4 modes. Truck has been to three (3) dealers so far and did not see much improvement in the vibration.
Vehicle is shutting off at any given speed, ie. 35 mph in town or 70 mph on a highway with oncoming traffic. When vehicle shuts off, loss of all control of the vehicle takes place. No brakes, no steering, nothing until the vehicle randomly turns back on. This is not a consistent occurrence to know when it is going to happen or be prepared for it to happen. I watched my husband shoot across the road into the other lane and almost put the vehicle over a bank one night when it happened. This has been an issue since january 2018 for us, we have taken it to the dealer where it was purchased multiple times for them to tell us they can't duplicate the issue and nothing is coming up in their system for an error code. It has caused a major inconvenience for my family, as we don't dare put our children in the truck leaving the responsibility solely on one parent to transport the kids to and from daycare. I worry for the safety of my husband on a daily basis.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving unknown speeds, hot air emerged from the air conditioning unit while it was activated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the air conditioner condenser was leaking. The contact called a local dealer (beck and masten buick gmc north, 11300 farm to market 1960 rd w, houston, tx 77065, 281-469-5222) and was informed that the vehicle was not included in a service bulletin. The contact was referred to the manufacturer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.
I recently purchased a 2015 gmc sierra k1500 slt. I selected the slt for the projector headlights which are not offered on the lower trims for improved lighting. However, the headlights have extremely poor illumination (cannot see off to the side of the road, very dim, poor projection in front) in low or high beam. The headlights are the worst on any vehicle that i have owned over the past 35 years. I almost hit a deer on the road at night, driving 35 mph, because the deer could not be seen in the visible arc of the low beams until too late. The deer was standing on the road fog line. I located a gm document on several truck forums concerning this issue. Original document # 4093100, pit5374 (2/27/2015) and followup document # 4109395, pit5374a (3/9/2015).
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While an independent mechanic was inspecting the vehicle, the contact was informed of a radiator leak. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to goodwin chevrolet brunswick (located at 195 pleasant st, brunswick, me 04011, (866) 675-8244) where it was diagnosed that the radiator and air conditioner condenser needed to be replaced. The contact also stated that the brake pedal was difficult to depress and the windshield wipers failed to function. The brake and windshield wiper failures were not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 107,000.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact went to autostart the vehicle and noticed that the rear window was smoking and emitting a burning odor. The contact turned off the auto rear defroster and the rear window shattered. There were no injuries. The contact took the vehicle to west herr chevrolet of hamburg (located at 5025 southwestern blvd, hamburg, ny 14075, 877-308-1785), but they were unable to repair the vehicle. The contact had the vehicle repaired by a glass company. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall regarding the failure. The manufacturer provided case number: x_xx/xxx/xxxx. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000. *lnmanufacturer case number: x_xx/xxx/xxxx('parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
The transmission seems to slip or hesitate at takeoff. The running lights are too dim to see down the road.
The headlights on my 2015 gmc sierra slt are by far the worst headlights i have ever experienced in the many vehicles that i have driven over the last 30 years. How they passed whatever safety standards there are set in place is beyond me. They do not provide a wide enough beam to see around turns or wildlife that may be on the side of the roadway nor do they light up enough of the road in distance to see anything at all beyond approximately 50 feet while travelling in the dark.this vehicle is unsafe to be driven at any speed during the dark. Sadly the high beams are completely useless as well. There is more light output with the low beams on in conjunction with the fog lights (which isn't saying much) than there is with the high beams on. Driving is the rain is even worse. You cannot even tell that the headlights are on that's how bad they are. I have complained several times to two different dealers and gm directly and was told "that's just how they are and there is nothing that can be done about them". I was given a 2016 sierra as a loaner vehicle while i had my vehicle in for this and several other issues and the headlights on the 2016 vehicle they loaned me are a big improvement over the 2014-15 lights. Gm should be forced to recall all 2014-15 sierras due to these severely hazardous headlights and forced to install the lights that come on the 2016-17 sierras.
Headlights are totally inadequate for night driving.add a bit of rain and it is really scary.
During night operation with the instrument cluster adjusted to proper brightness the center console lights and most notably, the intellilink screen are dangerously bright. The intellilink screen does not have an independent brightness control from the dimmer. When set to off in an attempt to mitigate the problem, the intellilink screen reactivates with subsystem adjustment, e.g. Temperature adjustment, absolutely destroying night vision of the driver. If adjusting the brightness level to acceptable for the center console lighting and intellilink the instrument cluster is so dim that it requires unsafe levels of driver attention to process the dimly lit information. Dealer verified issue on two service visits but unable to correct per manufacturer. Safety complaint registered by me with gmc infotainment customer support.
Rear power sliding window imploded after rear window defroster was on for less than 10 minutes. Car was in motion at highway speed when a sound like a rifle shot occurred followed with a clear sound of an air leak into the cab. Outside temperature was 25 degrees.
Headlights - low are dim and not much side visibility. Traveling on rural back roads at night is dangerous. Deer walked out in road and i was not able to see in time. Second deer i hit with this truck, only hit one other deer in my life.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 55 mph, the rear window exploded and shattered into pieces. Mcneill chevrolet buick in swanton, ohio was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall on the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 34,000.
Vehicle was stationary on the street, parked. I entered it, and turned on my front and rear defrosters with the setting on "hi." i turned around and verified that my vehicle had not been hit nor was any damage at all apparent to me. At some point as i sat there with the car idled and the heated air reaching its maximum temperature, i began to smell some foul smell in the cab that i believed was exhaust entering the cabin. I rolled down the window. As i brushed the snow from the front and began to drive away, i heard a noise that i believed was the snow falling from the roof. However, as i rolled away, i noticed a louder-than-normal cabin. Upon looking behind me, i noticed the rear right window within the sliding rear cabin window had blown out. Upon inspecting the area, i noticed that no snow or water was present inside. Given that we had received a lot of snow the previous evening through the morning, had the damage occurred throughout the evening or early morning, there would've been moisture present.
Used the remote start to warm the truck up. Got in and was leaving my driveway and the rear window exploded. Read defrost was on since we received 6+ inches on snow today.
Vehicle is less than 2 months old. I was going down highway at approx. 65 miles per hour and a huge crack occurred in the windshield from the top drivers side corner to bottom of the windshield near the center of the car. Nothing impacted the windshield, it just cracked.
First of all the headlights are very dim and at night cannot see nothing.dealer said it is what is .very bad !! also my sierra on window sticker states comes with all terrain tires it does not have all terrain tires . They are 265/65/r18 goodyear wrangler sra .i worked for goodyear and those tires are all season !!! not all terrain as specified on window sticker !! i talked to dealer and called customer service at gm they never call back and they said those are the right tires.they are not according to my attorney who states the window sticker is totally incorrect and is fraudulent check your tires and window stickers and compare and look on goodyears website you will see.also my transmission clunks and knocks and shifts incorrectly dealer states its normali spend 40k on a new truck and all i have are problems and gm does nothing. It downshifts horrible what can i do???
Remote started car. Upon entering and turning ignition on a strong electrical burning smell was noticed. White smoke was seen emitting from base of driver side rear window behind my childs car seat. Moments later a loud bang was heard and window shattered. Vehicle was stationary at the time and running for less than 5 minutes.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the air conditioning failed. The contact called gay buick gmc at (832) 769-4379 (located at 3033 gulf fwy, dickinson, tx 77539) and was informed that they were aware of the failure, but there were no recalls. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was later taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the condenser was fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer stated that there were no recalls and provided case number: 8-4727896957. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the air conditioner failed to function. The vehicle was taken to varney buick gmc mazda (located at 260 hogan rd, bangor, me 04401, (866) 240-4451) where it was diagnosed that the condenser needed to be replaced due to a crack. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer stated that the vin was not included in a recall and referred the contact to nhtsa. The approximate failure mileage was 55,911.
The air conditioning went out suddenly, just after the warranty expired. After research, this is an issue known to gm as they are currently subjects in proposed class-action lawsuits in 2 states regarding this defect.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 55 mph, the defroster stopped working and the air conditioner was blowing out hot air. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 46,000.
Truck shakes at hi-way speed. Replaced tires as told by dealer and road force balanceand had no effect on the shaking.
I bought the vehicle new in 9/2015. I reported a vibration between 75-80mph to the nearby gm dealer (twice). The dealer kept the truck for a few days and stated they could not correct the problem. I took the truck back to the original dealer where i bought it, they did a road force balance on the tires and reported the problem fixed. I took the truck back to the original dealer at 13k miles, they kept the truck for a few days and reported the tires needed to be replaced. They replaced the tires and stated the vibration has been resolved. I drove the truck for another 3k miles and noticed that the vibration was starting up again. At 18k miles, i returned the truck to the original dealer and they are going to try and resolve the problem a 5th time.
Within one year of purchasing this vehicle, and occurring numerous times over the course of 15,000 miles, this vehicle suddenly and without warning completely lost control in wet conditions.vehicle was always operated with all safety mechanisms including traction control on.vehicle was always operated at or below the posted speed limits and well below speed limits in wet conditions.accelerating from a stop and turning onto roads either from a stop sign or red light, the vehicle repeatedly spun 90 to 180 degrees for no reason.the vehicle also on several occasions completely lost control laterally and slid sideways as if on ice; sometimes in traffic and fortunately no damage or injury occurring.vehicle has been to the dealer with tires and suspension found to be within limits.since no individual component was defective either the vehicle, tires, or the combination must be intrinsically unsafe.gm customer care was contacted and case [xxx] opened.gm will not perform any action or replace tires since they cannot duplicate the loss of control on dry roads.gm's official response to me was to take the vehicle to the dealer during a rain storm and with one of their techs in the vehicle, i was to replicate my problem for them to witness.gm's official response to me, including customer care consultant and dealer service manager working through his district manager, was to intentionally make the vehicle lose control on a public road.this seems completely irresponsible and potentially criminally to me should any property damage or injury occur as a result.i have replaced the tires at my own expense of nearly $1000 on a nearly new $50k+ truck in order to drive safely.
The gmc sierra has a terrible vibration from 70 - 80 mph. It has been in the shop 7 times over the last year, 9 new tires, and the vibration still continues. I have attempted to resolve the issue with gm but there has been no resolution. The truck feels unstable and like something is going to break on the highway which is a safety concern. This vehicle has issues and it needs addressed.
My truck suffers from vibration problems, the same thing that 10,837 other posts from other people suffering the same problem are talking about on this forum. Http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/153186-shake-or-vibration-issues/page-723this forum has been viewed over 1.5 million times which means a ton of people are having this issue.this is absolutely a risk to motor vechicle safety and absolutely exists in a group of vechicles of the same design or manufacture.the problems this shake presents that pose a danger are vibrations so significant that it can cause driver distraction, fatigue on long trips, potential loss of control, not to mention long term health effects from vibration exposure. The health effects defined are as follows:"the effects of whole body vibration (wbv) have been studied extensively in occupational medicine. In particular, it has been shown that when the body undergoes chronically to whole body vibrations spinal degeneration is likely to be one of the deleterious outcomes. Low back pain has been shown to be the leading major cause of industrial disability in the population under the age of 45 years and has been linked to whole body vibration exposure encountered in some industrial settings. Whole body vibration has been recently purposed as an exercise intervention suggesting its effectiveness in increasing force-generating capacity in lower limbs and low back. It has also been reported to be an effective non-pharmacological intervention for patients with low back pain. Relatively short exposure to whole body vibration has been also shown to increase the serum levels of testosterone and growth hormone. The combined effects on the neuromuscular system and endocrine system seem to suggest its effectiveness as a therapeutic approach for sarcopenia and possibly osteoporosis."

I recently purchased a gmc sierra 1500 from carmax fitted with a set of crosscontact lx20's.the truck had about 18,000 miles or fewer when i bought it and it now has 31,000 miles on it.the two front tires started to disintegrate around 28,000 miles and now have become unsafe and unusable.i contacted your customer support office and was told that they could not do anything for me as i was the second owner and i should contact carmax.of course carmax says, call continental.the code on all 4 of my tires is a32a wbde 2215.i have enclosed a few photos of the front tires, the back tires are showing the same separation from the steel belt, but none of the tread has come off yet.i believe the turning back and forth of the front tires has accelerated their demise.i have purchased 4 new goodyear tires because i truly fear for my families safety.i would appreciate your time and consideration in this matter.
Bought set of four dynapro htp255 70r17 tires.had to take them in for re-balancing three times due to rough bumpy ride.third re-balancing was to a different dealer than the original seller.he said tires were badly "out of round".original dealer replaced tires with michelin.had to have these tires 'road force balanced' and problem was solved.
