“The windshield wipers will come on and not turn off. I have had it at the mechanic for this at least 5 times. It happens whenever it rains or the windsield or some part gets wet, like a car wash. After drying out, usually at least a few hours of no moisture, the wipers stay off. Takata recall - it's been at least 3 years and this is a truck I've driven for a quarter of a million miles - yet no response or fix available from Gmc”
NHTSA complaint #11104516, filed 2018-06, 111,000 miles“One of the electrically powered, folding external mirror assemblies became inoperable on my 2007 Gmc SIERRA 1500 pickup truck which LED to the entire mirror assembly becoming loose.

NHTSA complaint #10502268, filed 2013-03, 43,000 miles“Driver's side rear view mirror doesn't have auto dim. N a trip and noticed passenger side mirror doesn't auto dim 04/18/07 and from then on had issue with mirror not auto dimming. Took to dealership 06/29/07 they said due to the vehicle build it is not equipped. So again driving at night on 07/04/07 had a problem with glare and distraction from vehicle lights behind me, shining in passenger side mirror. I have a dispute to make and I believe it is safety related. I have a 2007 Gmc sierra crew cab with power folding turn signal indicator rear view mirrors. …”
