I got out of my truck, had left the keys in the ignition, walked over to get something off the ground and heard the horn blow. I walked back over to the truck to get back in and it was locked. I called on star and they couldn't unlock it so they had to send a lock-out service to unlock the truck. This has happened at least five times in the past three years, three in which on star had unlocked it.
In cold weather the instrument cluster does not work, the only thing that does work is the back lighting.
About 2 months after we purchased our pre-owned 2009 gmc sierra denali we started having problems with the engine power and all sensors going off. The sensors start going off the stability control cuts off it says engine power reduced then doesn't want to shift and kills in middle of traffic. It will do it for a few days and then just starts working right again. So we never know when it's going to happen or where we will be. It's like it's not running on all cylinders.
After being struck from behind the passenger side rear door locks and windows would not operate.at the repair shop texas they stated " this was not a result of the crash but a known defect. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

I' m writing in too complain about the dashboard cluster on my 2009 gmc sierra. I see that a recallalong with a lawsuit with this same issue was submitted. I have been going back and forth with gmc on this issue since 2011. They stated it was a fuse and replaced the fuse , but my dashboard along with all the gauges go out every couple of months. I was told they didn't know what the problem was but obviously they did. This issue was noted after a class action lawsuit was filed. This is a very expensive fix that should have been taken care of when it first happened in 2011. Thelast time my dashboard went out (while driving) was 10/14/2014.
2009 gmc sierra had a incorrect marked wire for the trailer power.*njthe consumer stated when connecting the trailer power, he connected the wire at the fuse panel marked trailer power feed. When there was no power at the trailer connection he contacted the dealer. They determined that the wire marked trailer power feed was not the trailer power feed wire. They disconnected the wire and connected a different wire which did in fact supply power to the trailer connection.
I am having serious problems with the stabilitrak electronic stability control system.whenever it gets cold ( below approx. 38 degrees) the stabilitrak system malfunctions.even if i turn it off it still affects the performance of the engine (low speed, engine hesitating). The truck runs fine in warmer weather just craps out when its cold.i see that there are many other instances of distressed drivers who are having their 'trac ' 'stab, abs light and engine lights either going on one at a time or simultaneously because of this system.this is a stupid system that needs to be redesigned or eliminated all together. In any event i don't feel as though i should be the one to pay for the manufactures mistakes in design.

I recently purchased a gmc sierra crew cab pickup . When it rains, the right front headlight fogs up creating a hazard as on coming traffic cannot see my turn signal. The left light does not fog up. Now, the law of physics tells me there is a leak in the headlight and naturally the moisture will condense on the coolest part of the light which is the glass .i have written gmc with the complaint and they will not answer my complaint. This is a safety hazard. My name is gaines smith. Truck was purchased at hafner motors, batesville miss.

I was backing out of a parking space and bumped the curb with the right front tire at less than 1/2 mph. Pulled forward and then backed out again without curb contact.drove less than 50 feet and was unable to steer the vehicle.the right front inner tie rod had failed causing loss of steering.examination of the fracture surface of the tie rod showed a fatigue fracture that had propagated to over 1/3rd of the cross sectional area.photographs of the fracture surface were sent to a world renowned metallurgist and was confirmed to be a fatigue fracture.i contacted gm customer care regarding my safety concerns and was assigned case number [xxx].gm was completely uninterested in the fact that the rod failed and had a pre-existing fatigue fracture in the rod.i suggested that their engineers should examine the parts to determine whether my concerns were valid.again, their representative was completely uninterested in evaluating the safety aspects of the failure or accessing the parts for further analysis. Had the rod end failed at highway speed, this event would likely have been catastrophic and ended in a major accident.gm stated they would not pursue the issue further because there was an impact involved in the failure even though the impact was less than 1/2 mph.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
3 cracks appeared in the top of the dash.one 2" long running from the air bag cover forward to edge of dash section.2 cracks on back of instrument cluster one on right side 4" long, and one on the left side about 6" long.vehicle has not been in any accidents.this seems to be a common problem that gm is ignoring.

My wife was driving approximately 45mph in fall river when all of a sudden we heard a large bang underneath the vehicle, upon looking in the rear mirror i noticed a large steel item shoot out from underneath the vehicle sliding fast behind the vehicle with sparks noticed as it was dark, and into oncoming traffic which had to swerve to avoid an accident and avoid the propelled steel leaf spring. No accident occurred, leaf spring was recovered from the road after pulling vehicle over and noted it came from right rear of vehicle where it had snapped off. This incident created an extremely potentially serious condition which could have caused it to go into the vehicle traveling behind us. Upon bringing this vehicle to kelly's tires in middleboro, they stated and i quote "let me guess your vehicle is a 2009 sierra, this has been a common problem with this particular make, model and year vehicle, but there is no recall at this time". This problem is serious, not to mention very costly for the consumer to repair a faulty part! this vehicle should have a recall before someone gets seriously hurt if it happens at a high rate of speed, because at the low rate of 45, we were very lucky it did not kill someone. No excuse gm needs to recall/replace/reimburse its consumers...updated 06/03/14 updated 8/22/2017

My dashboard is disintegrating. It started with a few hairline cracks, but now there are fist sized holes in my dashboard, and it is full of crasks. If i was in a car accident,i would have a face full of plastic shards.
The spring on the spare tire holder broke and i found it on the ground. The spring itself is not available and i had to have the dealer replace the entire assembly at a cost of nearly $300. Had this tire come loose during high speed travel it could have caused loss of control. I guess i'm lucky i found the spring and the problem.
