general problems of the 2012 GMC Sierra

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 GMC Sierra. The contact stated the vehicle experienced a loss of power which resulted in a front end collision with a guard rail. When the failure occurred all warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was able to be operated after the accident. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000. Kh.

Check engine light illuminated. Took truck to local Chevrolet dealer for repair and they discovered the wires had been chewed through. I read that gm uses peanut oil on wires in order to install them easier. Looks like this attracted a mouse, squirrel, chipmunk, or other creature and it chewed the wires. Luckily it did not affect the operation of the truck but it could have led to a short circuit that could have caused a fire. I feel this needs to be thoroughly investigated. And gm needs to create some kind of animal repellant to spray on the wires after vehicle assembly.

The contact owns a 2012 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the right and left turn signal and safety belt chime stopped working. Also, the radio malfunctioned and the vehicle veered to the right. The manufacturer was not contacted and the vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 65,274.

Vehicle was taken to GMC dealer for headlight defect and we were informed that they would have to order parts. Drove truck back to site and while truck was running but stationary smoke was observed coming from the engine compartment. When the hood was raised the entire truck became engulfed and completely burned.
