2011 GMC Sierra Owner Complaints

NOTICED FRONT DASH WAS CRACKED IN AUGUST 2014. DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR. MY WIFE HAD A 2007 TAHOE WHICH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN DASH. MY 2 SON-IN-LAW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM NOW, ONE HAS A 2011 SIERRA AND THE OTHER HAS A 2010 SILVERADO.

MY TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE DASH. THE ONE OVER THE AIRBAG IS THE ONE THAT HAS ME CONCERNED. IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS IT MAY THEN THROW SHRAPNEL INTO THE FACE OF MY PASSENGER POSSIBLY CAUSING DISFIGUREMENT AND OR DEATH.

I OWN A 2011 GMC SIERRA 3500 6.6 DURAMAX DIESEL TRUCK. WHEN THE TRUCK IS "REGEN-ING" THE "DPF", RAW FUEL LEAKS FROM AN EXHAUST COUPLING LOCATED AT THE TURBO AND DOWN-PIPE SATURATING THE HOT EXHAUST PIPE WITH FUEL. WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP WHILE IT IS IN THIS REGEN MODE WHITE SMOKE BOILS OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND ENTERS THE CABIN INDUCING A COUGHING FIT AND BURNING EYES. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A GMC DEALER IN SAN ANGELO TX AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM THAT I WAS DESCRIBING AND THAT I SHOULD REST ASSURED BECAUSE "DIESEL WON'T BURN ANYWAY". *TR

AFTER APPLYING BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN TO < 5 MPH (NOT COMING TO A HALT) AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, VEHICLE BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE FOR 1 TO 2 SECONDS; IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL DURING THE BRAKING PERIOD AND WHEN GAS PEDAL IS APPLIED, THERE IS A 1 - 2 SECOND TIME PERIOD WHERE VEHICLE IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING AND PREVENTS ANY ACCELERATION. WHY IS THIS DANGEROUS? I FOUND MYSELF IN A LEFT TURN ONLY LANE/GREEN LIGHT WITH OPPOSING TRAFFIC, AND I ATTEMPTED THE LEFT TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT I HAD AMPLE TIME BUT THE VEHICLE JUST SAT THERE FOR 1 - 2 SECONDS, AND WITH THAT I FOUND MYSELF IN A DANGEROUS PREDICAMENT BECAUSE THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS GETTING VERY CLOSE. IF THE VEHICLE HAD RESPONDED WHEN I NEEDED IT TO, IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A CLOSE CALL. THIS BEHAVIOR WITH THE VEHICLE CAN BE REPRODUCED AT WILL, EVERY TIME. THERE ARE MANY FORUMS ON THE INTERNET WHERE MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE DRIVE-TRAIN, GMC KNOWS ABOUT IT, BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS LOSING ALL POWER TO STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES. THERE IS NO ADVANCED WARNING OF POWER LOSS, IT SIMPLY QUITS RENDERING THE DRIVER INCAPABLE OF STEERING, MOVING OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. HAS BEEN IN CERTIFIED GMC SHOP THREE TIMES, THEY KEEP INSISTING THEY CANNOT FIND PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE BE PICKED UP. POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP. NOT ONLY UNSAFE FOR DRIVER BUT ALSO ANYONE BEHIND THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN TO 1/2 POWER AND BEGAN TO SHAKE/VIBRATE. THE TOP SPEED THEN WAS ABOUT 40MPH. I FINALLY PULLED OVER AND READ MANUAL ON HOW TO RESET IT. IT WORKED PROPERLY THEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 OTHER TIMES. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED YESTERDAY, WITH OUT USING CRUISE CONTROL. TRAVELING AT 30 MPH IT SHUT ME DOWN AGAIN . ONE OF THE SCARIEST TIMES , I WAS TRAVELING IN 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND IT SHUT ME DOWN TO HALF POWER AND IT WAS QUITE DANGEROUS FOR US TO TRY AND MERGE OUT OF THE WAY AND GET OFF TO A SAFE SPOT ON SIDE OF INTERSTATE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, BUT IT SEEMS VERY MUCH LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH ME. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME AS WELL AS OTHER AUTO SPECIALIST IS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE AND THAT IT WILL COST ABOUT 700 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE CABLE ASSEMBLY. *TR

THE FRONT BUMPERS PLASTIC FOG LIGHT ASSEMBLY BECOMES LOOSE AND FALLS OFF. THIS CAN CAUSE CRASH AND ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF FALLING OFF PARTS FROM CAR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE PLASTIC BUMPER PARTS FOR THE FOG LIGHTS. THE SUGGESTION IS TO REPLACE THIS WITH A CHROME OR METAL BUMPER SO THAT PLASTIC PEACES DO NOT BECOME WARPED AND BREAK OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT THE BOLT POINTS FOR THE FRONT BUMPER FOG LIGHT HOLDER ENTIRE PLASTIC PEACE. *TR

THREE OUT OF FOUR TIRES HAD SEPARATION. THE TIRES ARE GOODYEAR WRANGLERLT265/ 60R20E1. TWO TIRES WERE REPLACED ON 2/21/2014 DUE TO SEPARATION OF LEFT REAR TIRE. WE CHOSE TO REPLACE BOTH REAR TIRES. ON A RECENT VACATION TO FLORIDA FROM TEXAS, THE FRONT LEFT TIRE, SAME GOODYEAR TYPE TIRE, SEPARATED. OUR SPARE REPLACED THE FRONT LEFT TIRE. ON THE RETURN TRIP FROM FLORIDA BACK TO TEXAS (SAME VACATION), THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE BEGAN SEPARATING WHEN WE WERE ON THE EAST SIDE OF LOUISIANA. WE WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE AN OPEN TIRE STORE, AS IT WAS A SUNDAY. SO, WE DROVE HOME SLOWLY THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP. AFTER RETURNING HOME, DISCOUNT TIRES (WHERE WE PURCHASED THE TWO NEW REAR TIRES IN FEB. 2014) ORDERED US TWO NEW FRONT TIRES. THE TIRES WERE SHIPPED FROM CHICAGO, DUE TO THE UNUSUAL SIZE OF THE TIRE (WE WERE TOLD). IS THE GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRE A SAFETY HAZARD, SINCE THREE OUT OF THE FOUR TIRES FAILED? WAS IT THE 'LOT' THAT WAS BAD? WE WERE TOLD BY DISCOUNT TIRES THAT THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON THIS TIRE. *TR
