![]() The vehicle is currently being diagnosed at a dealership. The engine would not start safely after that, and ‘Check Engine’ activated. Fortunately, I was able to pull in a parking lot and park it safely. Upon exiting the freeway, the engine shut off completely while in motion. There was no ‘Check Engine Light’ or any other warning lights. It was hard to notice on higher speeds on the freeway, but upon slowing down on curves, it got more obvious that something was really wrong because the noise sounded like something was loose inside the engine. It was in motion on the freeway when the engine started to sound noisier than usual, like that of an older truck. ![]() “The vehicle was bought brand new and was only driven for a week. Here’s one example of problems from the NHTSA website. With GMC, the engine simply wasn’t created to handle all of the jobs customers have. ![]() The engine of a truck is what creates the power needed to haul and tow. If GMC was in “command,” these types of defects would never occur. ![]() This problem is apparent in more than 600,000 vehicles, leaving many people at-risk. This recall states that the front center seat-belt bracket might not be secured correctly, causing a failure in restraining that passenger as well. However, the problem gets even larger when looking at NHTSA Campaign Number 20V792000. If an accident occurs, the seat belts might not restrain passengers correctly, which could lead to larger injuries. NHTSA Campaign Number 20V811000 says that incorrect bolts were used to attach the seat belts to the seat. It turns out that GMC might not have enough experience working with seats and seat belt construction. It was bare metal exposed out with sharp edges that cut the right hand so badly.” The incredibly sharp parts need to be cut or removed from this and other similar vehicles or covered with something. The vehicle was stopped and just tried to retrieve fallen object between the seats. One key aspect of in-vehicle comfort is the seats, but this is another part of the truck that can’t seem to live up to expectations.Īnother NHTSA complaint states, “Reached for a fallen object between the driver and middle front seat and there is a razor sharp piece that took a large chunk out of the hand which caused heavy bleeding and medical supplies to stop. While the GMC Sierra might exhibit command, there’s no comfort when the threat of an accident is always looming. All of these problems increase the chance of an accident, leaving customers feeling uneasy. This recall says certain vehicles have overcured tires installed, which might lead to a break in the sidewall, creating sudden air loss, plus belt edge separation. Yet, NHTSA Campaign Number 20V684000 shows that’s not true. It must also be equipped with reliable, durable tires. However, the steering is only one system that keeps this truck under control. When a vehicle becomes uncontrollable, it is scary. Approximately for fourth time, the message cleared and the vehicle was back to normal. Still unable to turn the steering wheel, repeated this several times. At that point, turned the vehicle off after I got it stopped, turned it back on, same messages. Messages came up on display, reading Service Power Steering and brief message about the brakes flashed quickly on the message board. It was also very difficult to stop the vehicle, brakes were not working properly. While driving, vehicle’s steering seized. “Started vehicle everything was normal, shifted vehicle into drive, proceeded forward. However, it’s even more important when driving a pickup truck that’s towing or hauling heavy items. When it comes to controlling a vehicle, steering is everything.
