I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TAKATA 3 YEARS AGO ABOUT A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG RECALL BUT NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFO ABOUT TAKING IT IN TO HAVE IT REPLACED.ALSO, ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE MY SERVICE AIRBAG SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND IS STILL ON WHICH WILL MOST LIKELY PREVENT ME FROM TRADING IN OR SELLING THE TRUCK SHOULD I DECIDE TO DO SO.I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM SOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. ALSO I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHEELS AS THEY WERE RUSTED OUT AND LEAKED AIR THRU THE WELD JOINTS WHICH APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC AND CHEVVY TRUCKS.2016

REAR END LOCKS UP. IF THE WHEELS SPIN THEN THE TRUCK WONT MOVE. IT GETS STUCK AND YOU HAVE TO FORCE IT FORWARD UNTIL THE WHEELS START MOVING FREELY AGAIN.
Air bags, Structure, Dec 10, 2019
THE VEHICLE CONTAINS TAKATA AIRBAGS THAT AN OPEN RECALL WAS STARTED 3 YEARS AGO FOR BUT A DECISION HAS NEVER BEEN MADE. THE DASH HAS NOW CRACKED NEAR THE AIRBAGS. IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY THEY COULD CAUSE SHRAPNEL FROM THE DASH TO BE PUT INTO THE CABIN. THERE IS AN OPEN LAWSUIT IN THE US AND CANADA WITH GM IN REGARDS TO THE DASH. THE VEHICLE IS ALSO DISPLAYING INTERMITTENT AIRBAG SERVICE ERROR MESSAGES. GM WILL NOT DIAGNOSE THE AIRBAG ISSUE FOR FREE AND WANT'S ANYWHERE FROM $150-$250 SIMPLY TO READ THE CODE PLUS WHATEVER THE REPAIR WOULD COST. GM ALSO WANTS $1500-$2000 TO REPLACE THE DASH. GM HAS DEEMED THIS VEHICLE "SAFE" BUT WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THAT "SAFE" DESIGNATION BY DIAGNOSING THE AIRBAG ISSUE FOR FREE. THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT STARTED OFF VERY INFREQUENTLY AND HAS STARTED TO BECOME MORE FREQUENT. I HAVE ALSO BEEN CUT BY THE DASH ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHICH PRESENTS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. GM CORPORATE WILL NOT GIVE ANY TIMELINE TO A RESOLUTION AND WILL ONLY PAY FOR REPAIRS ONCE THE NHTSA FORCES THEM INTO A RECALL. A "SAFE" VEHICLE DOES NOT INJURY IT'S USERS OR REPORT ERRORS WITH ITS SAFETY SYSTEMS FREQUENTLY.

Steering, Mar 25, 2019
TWICE THE STEERING IN SIERRA HAS LOCKED UP WHILE TURNING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TAKING A CURVE TO THE RIGHT, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO CURVE RIGHT. IT WOULD STILL ALLOW ME TO TURN LEFT. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND PARKING THE TRUCK, THE ISSUES RESOLVED ITSELF. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AS I WAS TAKING A LEFT TURN. I HAD COMPLETED THE LEFT TURN, AND AS THE WHEEL WAS RETURNING TO THE CENTER(TURNING BACK TO THE RIGHT), THE WHEEL LOCKED. I WAS FORCED INTO THE NEXT LANE AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO USE A LOT OF STRENGTH, AND I EVENTUALLY FORCED IT. WHEN IT BROKE FREE, IT MADE A LOUD POP SOUND. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED IN JULY OF 2016 BY GMC OF A POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO CURRENT SOLUTION AND TO WAIT. I WAITED ONE YEAR (2017) AND CALLED AGAIN AND WAS TOLD NOTHING HAS CHANGED. I DID THAT AGAIN IN 2018 AS WELL AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO UPDATES. AROUND THE TIME OF MY SECOND CALL IN 2018, I STARTED GETTING AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGE FROM THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED GM CORPORATE IN REGARDS TO THE ISSUE ASSUMING IT HAS TO DO WITH THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY GM CORPORATE THAT IN NO WAY WOULD THEY BE WILLING OR ABLE TO ASSIST OR PAY FOR ANY OF THE COST OF GETTING THIS RESOLVED AND THAT I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO EVERYTHING MYSELF. I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET REIMBURSED IF THE RECALL FINALLY WENT THROUGH, BUT IF THE RECALL WENT THROUGH AFTER I SOLD THE VEHICLE THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT WAS NOT WILLING TO HELP WITH COSTS EITHER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD PROBABLY BE $300 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM PLUS COSTS OF REPAIR. I'VE ALSO ATTEMPTED TO SELL THE VEHICLE BUT HAVE HAD BUYERS BACK OUT DUE TO THE OPEN RECALL OR OFFERED ME BELOW MARKET VALUE FOR THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE RECALL. THEREBY CAUSING AS OF RIGHT NOW "PERMANENT DIMINISHED VALUE" I PERSONALLY FEEL LIKE GM IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET KNOWING THAT IF THEY CAN WAIT LONG ENOUGH THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES WILL DROP OFF THE ROADS CAUSING THE REPAIRS TO BE CHEAPER.
