EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2014-04-20
- VIN: 3GTU2VEC5EG

2016-03-06
EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2014-07-21
- VIN: 1GTV2VEC8EZ
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM AND ARE UNSAFE. IN MY 50+ YEARS OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED HEADLIGHTS SO BAD. I LIVE IN A DARK RURAL AREA WITHOUT ANY STREETLIGHTS AND LOTS OF BICYCLISTS AND DEER. I HAVE ALREADY HAD MANY NEAR MISSES ON RURAL ROADS, AND FEAR IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS.
2016-02-20
EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2014-01-01
- VIN: 3GTU2VEC9EG
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: THE HEADLIGHT OUTPUT AT NIGHT, PARTICULARLY IN RURAL BACK ROAD AREAS IS LESS THAN ADEQUATE. POOR REALLY. I ORIGINALLY HAD MOISTURE ISSUES IN BOTH HEADLAMP HOUSINGS, HAD BOTH HEADLAMP HOUSINGS REPLACED AND THE LIGHTING SEEMED TO BE BETTER, HOWEVER NOT VERY MUCH. THE HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO HAVE DARK SPOTS IN THEM AND ONLY LIGHT UP CERTAIN PARTS OF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME, AND NEVER MUCH TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. I FEEL THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST LIGHTING OUTPUT OF ANY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED, AND ACTUALLY FEEL A LITTLE UNSAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I MOST DEFINITELY CANNOT TRAVEL AT HIGHER SPEEDS DURING THE NIGHT AS I FEEL LIKE I CANNOT SEE NEARLY GOOD ENOUGH. I HAVE SIMPLY "DEALT" WITH THE ISSUE SINCE BUYING THE TRUCK IN DECEMBER 2013, THINKING THERE WAS NO FIX TO IT AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE.
2016-02-14
EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2016-02-14
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: THERE IS ALREADY A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS MATTER HOWEVER I FEEL IT IS SERIOUS ENOUGH TO BE A RECALL. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT IN UNLIGHTED AREAS THE BRIGHT LIGHTS LEAVE SERIOUS DARK AREAS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE TRAVELLING ON CURVY ROADS. IF YOU ENCOUNTER A PEDESTRIAN OR OTHER OBJECT IN THE ROAD IN THESE AREAS THEY CANNOT BE SEEN UNTIL ITS POSSIBLY TOO LATE. THE MANUFACTURER WILL ONLY DO THE REPAIR IF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT IT AND ITS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED.
2016-02-12
EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2015-07-10
- VIN: 3GTU2VEC5EG
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING

2016-02-01
EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2015-07-01
- VIN: 1GTN1TEH5EZ
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: THE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE TERRIBLE. THEY ARE DIM AND HAVE A VERY POOR LIGHT PATTERN. (THE BULB PRESUMABLY MEETS FEDERAL STANDARDS, BUT THE PROJECTOR SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED FOR A BRIGHTER BULB). IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE SIDES OF THE ROAD, OR VERY FAR DOWN THE ROAD, ON ROADS WHERE THERE ARE NO STREETLIGHTS. IT IS EVEN WORSE ON A RAINY, DARK ROAD. GM INSTITUTED A TSB (#PIT5374, ATTACHED) IN FEBRUARY 2015 WHICH INVOLVES REPROGRAMMING THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) TO INCREASE THE VOLTAGE TO THE HEADLIGHT BULBS AND SUBSTITUTING VOSLA HIR 55 WATT BULBS FOR THE ORIGINAL STOCK 55 WATT BULBS. THE RESULTS ARE A MINIMAL IMPROVEMENT. THE NEW 2016 MODELS HAVE THE SAME HEADLIGHT DESIGN BUT HAVE BEEN UPGRADED TO A HID BULB THAT CANNOT JUST BE PLUGGED INTO THE 2014/15 HEADLIGHTS. THE IMPROVED BULB AND WIRING IS EVIDENCE THE TSB DID NOT REALLY IMPROVE THE LIGHTING VERY MUCH. (THE INTERNET IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE; RECOMMEND YOU GOOGLE "GMC SIERRA HEADLIGHTS" AND SEE WHAT YOU GET!). I LIVE IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA AND WOULD BE GLAD TO COME DOWN TO THE NHTSA BUILDING ON A DARK, RAINY NIGHT AND GIVE YOU A RIDE -- THE PROBLEM ISN'T SO BAD IN AREAS WHERE THERE ARE STREETLIGHTS, BUT IT IS TERRIBLE OUT IN THE COUNTRY. BOTTOM LINE, GM SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO ISSUE A RECALL THAT INVOLVES REPLACING THE WIRING HARNESS AND BULB WITH THEIR LATEST DESIGN. THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE 2014/2014 SIERRA ARE HAZARDOUS TO THE PEOPLE IN THE TRUCK AND TO PEDESTRIANS ALONG THE ROAD. THANKS FOR LISTENING TO MY COMPLAINT, AND PLEASE TAKE ACTION FOR SAFETY'S SAKE. (NOTE: THERE IS NO SPECIFIC TIME, MILEAGE, MPH, ETC., THAT THIS WAS NOTED. IT IS CONTINUAL. I HAD THE TSB PERFORMED IN THE SUMMER OF 2015 AND NOTED MINIMAL IMPROVEMENT AT THAT TIME.)

STRUCTURE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2016-01-27
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- VIN: 3GTU2VEC4EG
- Components: STRUCTURE
- Summary: THE FACTORY INSTALLED RUNNING BOARDS ARE UNSAFE. THE TREADS NEED TO BE LARGER, MORE AGGRESSIVE AND ROTATED 90^. AS THEY ARE THEY ARE SIMPLY SKID PADS WHEN WET OR FROZEN. YOU SIMPLY NEED TO TRY AND ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE AND SEE HOW EASILY YOUR FOOT SIDES OFF CAUSING THE PERSON THE FALL. I HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL SLIPS/FALLS. TODAY I HIT THE BACK OF MY HEAD ON THE DOOR JAM. JUST ROTATING THE TREAD NINETY DEGREES WOULD HELP.

- Date Of Incident: 2015-12-19
- VIN: 1GTR1TEH0EZ

YOU CAN ONLY SEE MAYBE 30 FEET IN FRONT OF YOU AND NOTHING IF YOU MAKE ANY TURN ON A DARK ROAD WITH NO STREETLIGHTS ! THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS AND THEY MEET ALL GENERAL MOTORS SPECIFICATIONS ...I HAVE READ MANY MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 2014 GMC SIERRA OWNERS WITH THIS SAME COMPLAINT SO I KNOW ITS NOT MY IMAGINATION OR A PROBLEM WITH MY EYESIGHT !! I SURE HOPE THAT GMC DOESN'T WAIT FOR FATALITIES OR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BEFORE ADDRESSING AND CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM , I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL GMC CONSUMER FOR 45 YEARS BUT THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTING AND GMC'S REFUSAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT I CAN SAY THIS IS THE LAST GMC VEHICLE I WILL EVER PURCHASE . DO THE RIGHT THING GENERAL MOTORS ! FIX THE PROBLEM AND SAVE SOME LIVES !

- Number Of Injuries: 1
- VIN: 1GTR1UEH1EZ
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: THE FRONT PROJECTOR HEADLAMPS DO NOT PUT OUT ENOUGH LIGHT TO SAFELY DRIVE ON UNLIT ROADS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THERE IS ALSO LITTLE LIGHT PROJECTED TO THE SIDE MAKING TURNS UNLIT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2014-12-30
- VIN: 1GTV2UEC8EZ
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: 2014 GMC SIERRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE MADE TURNS, THERE WAS NOT SUFFICIENT LIGHTING. THE DEALER STATED THE HEAD LIGHTS WERE FOUR INCHES TOO HIGH, SO THEY ADJUSTED THEM. UPON DRIVING AT NIGHT, HE FOUND THE LIGHTING TO THE SIDE HAD SLIGHTLY IMPROVED, BUT THE LIGHT WAS SHARPLY CUT OFF ABOUT 45 FEET IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK ON WHEN THE LOW BEAMS WERE ON, WHICH MADE IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE OVER 35 MPH. THE HIGH BEAMS GAVE GOOD LIGHTING AT DISTANCES, BUT BROUGHT FLASHED FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE SECOND HEAD LIGHT ADJUSTMENT EXTENDED THE LIGHTING OUT ABOUT 20 INCHES FURTHER, BUT LESS LIGHTING TO THE SIDES FOR TURNING. THE HEAD LIGHTS WERE ADJUSTED AGAIN AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE LIGHTS WERE AT THE LEVEL FROM THE FACTORY. THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEAD LIGHTS WERE NOT ADEQUATE IN HIS OPINION. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2015-11-15
- VIN: 3GTU2UECXEG
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: THE VEHICLES HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY INEFFECTIVE. THEY RARELY ILLUMINATE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN 2 TELEPHONE POLES. THE INEFFECTIVENESS OF THE HEADLIGHTS IS AMPLIFIED ON HILLS OR ON ANY TURN. THE DURING THE TRANSITION FROM DECLINE TO INCLINE, YOU SOMETIMES HAVE BARELY A TRUCKS LENGTH OF ILLUMINATION. ANY CORNER ON A DARK ROAD REQUIRES A SEVERE DECREASE IN TRAVEL SPEED TO AVOID OVER DRIVING THE LIGHTS. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE THAT MADE ME FEEL MORE APPREHENSIVE TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL AFTER DARK. I VISITED THE DEALER WHO EXECUTED A TSB THAT INCREASED HEADLIGHT VOLTAGE AND REPLACED THE BULBS. IT MADE A NEGLIGIBLE IMPROVEMENT AND LEFT THE VEHICLE STILL UNSAFE AT NIGHT. I FREQUENTLY TRAVEL ON RURAL ROADS WITH NO STREET LIGHTS. I HAVE ALMOST HIT WILDLIFE TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT DUE TO THE POOR VISIBILITY CAUSED BY THESE DANGEROUS HEADLIGHTS. TRAVEL OVER 30 MPH ON DARK COUNTRY ROADS WITH A LEGAL SPEED LIMIT OF 50 IS ILL ADVISED DUE TO THE INEFFECTIVENESS OF THE HEADLIGHTS.

- Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
- Components: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK
- Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2011-2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 and GMC Sierra 3500 trucks equipped with dual fuel tanks. The low fuel level sensor for the front tank may stick causing the rear tank to overfill the front tank.
- Consequence: If the front tank overfills, the excess pressure may cause the front tank to expand and contact the driveshaft, possibly resulting in a hole in the tank. The hole will leak fuel, which in the presence of an ignition source, can increase the risk of a fire.
- Remedy: GM has notified owners, and dealers will replace the rear tank fuel pump or update the fuel-level sensor software, as well as inspect the front tank, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2017. Owners may contact GM customer service for Chevrolet 1-800-222-1020 or for GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 17399.
