This vehicle has had numerous electrical issue from the first few months of ownership. The trailer brake system failed and was replaced on october 2014. The vehicle has had many recalls that have been corrected by owner and service provider. The second summer of ownership the vehicle had radiator issues, and most recently electrical issues again and transmission issues. While driving the vehicle electrical dashboard goes into a flicker and shuts down. Gmc was able to fix this issue at the owners cost with the vehicle being out of service for 3 weeks. Gmc was to reimburse the owner for costs of a gm dealer that was not able to fix the issue (painter automotive)(february 9, 2017) of $300, this has not been reimbursed. The vehicle is now at the service station as it does not start with no codes. It has been out of service for 2 weeks and counting, this vehicle is no longer reliable or safe for us to drive. We have documentation of all the issues and video of the dashboard flicker.

While driving white smoke bellowing out front right tire wheel well.upon inspection, smoke coming from exhaust pipe clamp near turbo.smell so bad have to drive with window open.it appears engine on fire from the amount of smoke emitting from under the hood.at idle it get worse.it appears smoke is exhaust fumes leaking from the pipe joint.no engine light to indicate a problem.
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 3500. While driving, the service exhaust warning error indicator illuminated. In addition, the service trailer brakes error message illuminated, which caused the brakes to fail on the trailer. The contact unattached the trailer and the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was taken to growney motors (1160 main st, red bluff, ca 96080) where it was diagnosed that the heat sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 36,500. The vin was not provided.
Headlights on this truck have always been weak, distance is not lit up and in rainy weather on the highway is very poor even with fog lights on.the help from the fog lights is minimal.this is a known problem by the manufacturer and is repeated many many times on various gm related owner forums.this is a safety issue and needs to be addressed and corrected by the manufacturer.
Lighting is very poor, hard to see at night. It's not safe to drive it at night.when it's raining if headlights on its fogging up from inside.
Headlights do not provide sufficient illumination to see the road.very dangerous to drive at night.
I am afraid to drive at night because the head lights are terrible. I couldn't see the tire carcass left on the highway early enough to swerve around it. I hit it with the rear wheel and did approx. 6000.00 dollars damage to the vehicle.
The new tow mirrors on this truck have led blinkers that are so bright you can't tell if someone is coming towards you when you have the blinker on. It's flashing right in your face.
Headlights not bright enough to see in the night
I was traveling on a busy roadway at 40 mph when fuel filter warning light came on suddenly and vehicle lost all power - including the loss of power steering and power braking. Thankfully i had not yet entered the highway and was able to slow vehicle down but with great difficulty and not injure anyone around and that day was not towing a load. Vehicle would not restart.i had it towed to nearest dealership who then informed me that the "bosch cp4 fuel pump" had exploded sending metal shrapnel throughout the entire engines fuel system. The only fix was the entire replacement of the fuel system at a cost of over $11k. I had just purchased the truck 3 months prior.upon hearing this, i see this has been a frequent safety problem affecting a whole line of2011 - current gm, ford, dodge, and jeep diesel vehicles equipped with the cp4 pumps. There are numerous lawsuits underway for this failure including one of a major accident while towing (what these trucks are made for) because of loss of power steering and braking upon engine stall after fuel pump explosion.the gm technical service bulletin for reference is #16-na-102. In addition, the nhtsa has received two manufacturer technical service bulletins on this very safety issue.this is very much a recall worthy safety issue. Losing engine power and loss to all power steering and power braking in these vehicles is beyond dangerous. In addition, when it is happening to vehicles designed to tow weights in excess of 30k pounds trailer load behind the affected vehicle the danger is amplified that much greater.please issue a recall immediately. People's lives are very much at stake for gm's failure to remedy a known safety issue. Gm lists it as only a "hard start or no start". They do not recognize in writing the danger of full power loss at highway speeds which is most often how it presents itself.
I see there was a recall from gm #17399 for the 2015 dual fuel tank sending unit problem.this is only for the 6.0 l gas engine.i have the duramax 6.6l engine in mine. I had the same problem with mine.the sending unit did not turn off the transfer pump and overfilled the front tank causing fuel to pour out all over the road.i caught it before the drive line caused any damage. I had it towed to the dealer and while we moved it to pull it up on the tow truck it was pushing fuel out of the filler neck of the front tank.the dealer ship refused to cover the cost saying its not part of the recall.they said it wasn't the same problem.it sure was.i have attached the repair order and the recall notification below.i am wondering if it is part of the recall and they are just not doing their job and honering it.
My vehicle is being hacked and controlled by other drivers using cell phones to gain access to my vehicle while driving! , and when passing or sitting in traffic! this has been going on for over six months now, every day! all day long!! have contacted gmc over and over, have been to their shops over and over! , they laugh at me , and tell me nothing is wrong every time. Fcc, onstar, s. Xm radio, all refuse to help me with this problem, over and over , my vehicle starts to smoke when they are doing this, they are beside me laughing with their cell phones in hand. I am going to record this and then file suit against every one of them!!!!
The contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 3500. The contact stated that two of the five seat belts in the vehicle failed to properly retract and secure. The front passenger and rear middle seat belts became unsecured while the vehicle was in operation within weeks apart. The failure occurred frequently. Beaman buick gmc (1531 broadway, nashville, tn 37203, (615) 251-8400) indicated that they would order the seat belt kit, but did not confirm the quantity. The dealer did not state whether the part was available. The contact was concerned that the seat belts could fail in the event of a crash. A loaner vehicle was not offered while waiting to receive the part. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and issued nhtsa campaign numbers: 17v437000 (air bags, seat belts), 16v651000 (air bags, seat belts), and 14v301000 (electrical system, seat belts). There were also three tsbs for the seat belts, but the contact did not know if the vehicle was included in any of the recalls or tsbs. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

Vehicle was delivered to me with physical damage the one of the shocks. Part of the shock tube is crushed in, up high away from the roadway. Most likely cause is damage during vehicle transportation from factory. Two dealerships have confirmed this is the most likely and possible cause.i have brought the vehicle in at least 3 times to a dealer, and have been told that only the dealership i purchased the vehicle from can perform the warranty work for this repair. I have also called gmc customer service number in the owners manual and made a complaint there as well. I was told the same thing by the person handling the complaint, that i would have to take the vehicle to the dealership that i purchased it from. The person said they would look into it further, but never called me back.the dealership i purchased the vehicle from is located in another state, hundreds of miles away. It is not practical to drive hundreds of miles away when a local dealership can perform warranty work.

Sitting in a parking lot allowing the pickup to warm up, the rear defroster was on and started having a crackling sound and smoking. The noise and smoke stopped when the rear defroster was turned off, however approximately a minute later the window shattered and sprayed glass shards into the cab and on the back seat. The pickup was stationary and there was no possibility that this was caused by an impact. Based on the pattern of broken glass it could be seen coming from the corner of the window where the heating element is. I called gm and they indicated they would not look at the vehicle for at least 30 days to even determine the issue.
