Example complaints

Air bags: “The contact owns a 2015 Gmc Sierra Hd. While traveling approximately 75 MPH, a dear crossed the contact's path and crashed into the front end and front passenger side of the vehicle. The driver and the front passenger side air bags failed to deploy, but a substance was released. Also, the contact added that the four rear air bags deployed as normal. The contact was able to merge the vehicle over to the side of the road. The contact sustained injuries to the head, neck, and back, but did not require medical attention. The vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop. …”

NHTSA complaint #10655389, filed 2014-11, 13,000 miles

Brakes: “While driving, the power steering hose came off causing a sudden lose of fluid resulting in loss of power steering and power brakes. Although a recall/bulletin was to be issued on this per the dealer (I can not find evidence of a recall for this), my vehicle was built after the incident was recognized and thought to be corrected. Sudden lose of power steering and power brakes in a vehicle this size while pulling a large trailer could have been disastrous.”

NHTSA complaint #10611408, filed 2014-07, 1,900 miles

Exterior lighting: “Headlights on this vehicle are horrid and provide very poor illumination. It is very difficult to see at night, especially on country roads with no street lights. Headlight design should be considered a safety hazard. You'd think after spending $ 60,000 on a pickup truck it would come with some decent headlights. Not the case on the Gmc sierra.”
