On the morning of oct 26, 2020 @ 845am. . . I was heading south on 287 in mansfield TX. It was raining hard so I was only going 60 mph. The car in front of me was going 55 or so. When the rain and wind picked up, the car in front of me abruptly hit its brakes. That's when my truck brakes locked and I began sliding or being pulled to the right. I was in the left lane on the 2 lane highway. Had it not been for god and me, not panicking. . . I would have crashed! my truck fish tailed twice while I was trying to apply the brakes but. . . I couldn't stop. I almost put the truck gear in neutral but it was raining so somehow the truck managed to slow down going up a small hill, giving me control back. There were 2 other cars that seen this. I was a nervous wreck! I immediately got off the highway and went to the first gas station I saw and thanked god nothing happened. The problem I have is, what if my family were in the vehicle? how is it that gm is allowed to sell these vehicles? also, I searched almost every website and included my VIN. . . But every reply says my truck is ok (until today). I haven't had this truck for a year yet. But I'm ready to trade it in. I don't feel safe at all. I almost want to get my truck towed home. Why put people lives in jeopardy?.

I nearly died when my brakes failed on my 2018 GMC denali this morning. I was only going 60 mph when another driver cut in front of me, and hit their brakes but when I tried to stop, I could not! I then began swerving from lane to lane because it was raining. Thank god I didn't die and that the person on the right slowed down and moved out the way. The truck seemed to be pulling me to the right. Why I have no idea. But why is gm putting people lives at risk like this? why are we having to suffer or put our families in jeopardy. This makes no sense. My chest started hurting really bad afterwards, because I was so scared. I was on a 2 lane highway going straight but even that doesn't cause a vehicle not to respond like it did.

While driving highway speed (75mph) the steering went out as I was trying to go thru a curve. , I had to use both hands and force the wheel to turn to exit highway. Luckily it was only a slight turn I was trying to navigate! it threw service code�c0475, they say it's the steering gear! $2700 fix I believe it's electronic error.

1) rear driver side seatbelt would not retract when unbuckled. Seatbelt had to be manually fed back in so that the belt didn't dangle or get shut in the door. Repaired at dealership on June 18, 2020 at roughly 55-56,000 miles. 2) truck is currently shaking when driving and has tendencies to shake violently at times. I'm currently just shy of 59,000 miles on the truck and has been noticeable within the last 1,000 miles. Researching it appears it has a common name of "chevy shake. ".

After starting my vehicle remotely using on-star, my brakes stopped functioning properly. . . After remote starting the vehicle using my on-star app, we entered it, depressed the brake and pressed the start button. At that time I received multiple error messages, stating "brake system failure, 62 mph top speed" "service esc" " steering assist is reduced drive with care. " I restarted the vehicle a number of times and the error messages went away. I then began to drive home and after about 2 miles the error messages all came back and my brakes stopped functioning. I was able to use the full force of my body on the brakes to get the vehicle to come to a stop from around 30 mph in my neighborhood. Had I been on the highway or on the main street I had just been on I likely would not have been able to stop without hitting another vehicle or object.

After using app to start the vehicle, I sat in the driver seat depressed the brake and pushed the start button. Immediately a warning popped up saying esc needed service, service trailer brake, speed limited to 62mph. Additional lights illuminated including brake, traction control, abs, and cel. Since the dash indicated that the speed was reduced I thought it would be safe to drive, however at the first turn I realized my brakes were nearly gone and I went through the intersection. The brakes appeared to have lost the boost and were extremely hard to depress making it difficult to stop the vehicle. I limped the truck home and notified the dealer. The next day I tried starting the truck and the brakes returned with no dash messages although the cel was still illuminated. There is a recall for a similar issue but it looks like my VIN is not apart of it.

On January 23rd I started the GMC via the GMC phone app and when I got in the truck pushed brake and start button and that's will gauges went crazy saying brake malfunction . Steering ,speed reduced to 62 mph and brake pedal went to floor with little to no brakes and stopped the truck turned it off and on twice before all codes cleared except now the check engine light is on . Brakes appeared to work fine after te second time of turning the truck off and on . 970 miles on it!.

After starting vehicle using the mygmc app, I received the following warnings: 1. Service trailer brake system 2. Steering assist is reduced drive with care 3. Service esc 4. Brake system failure 62 mph top speed 5. Check engine light. Vehicle was stationary and I did not drive afterwards. Truck was in for service last week to complete recent recalls and replace a leaky rear window. When I pick the truck up, I noticed the lane keep assist, lane departure warning, intellibeam headlight, forward collision alert, and other functions associated with the window mounted camera system were inoperable. I have an appointment already scheduled for that and will add this for the dealer to investigate. Truck was taken to dealer for recall on 1/7/2020 and I got it back on 1/18/2020 because of the window replacement.

I started my vehicle on January 7th 2020 at about 4:00pm to return home from work I received multiple warning lights and the check engine light went on. The warns read "break system failure 62 mph too speed", "service esc", "steering assist is reduced drive with care", "service trailer break system". The vehicle would not break properly I would estimate the breaking capacity at 30% from normal. I turned off the vehicle and restarted it about 5 minutes later, all warnings were gone but the check engine light was still luminated, the vehicles performance was reduced and breaking was at about 80% of the normal capacity. I have made an appointment with the dealer for imidiate service I slowly and carefully drove the vehicle home. The vehicle has approximately 1403 miles on it.

The first issue is a bluetooth issue. The phone volume goes silent when I get in my vehicle. If I connect to car play, it works. I have missed important calls due to this issue. This started in July of 2019 and its not fixed yet. Gm says it apple. Apple says its gm I do not care just fix it. Second see below images. You know the issue. This happened to me 3 times. It started 12-05-2019. Then again 12-26-19 . Serviced . 1-4-2020 again. 1-18 20 again and to shop until 1-23-2020. This took a lot of my time talking with my dealer. I understand I am one of many, but I didn't spend over $66,000 to buy, lease this vehicle to have to waste my time. This cost me time, money and honestly every time I start the truck I wonder if it will reappear. I received 2 calls fro representatives, gianna and michelle. I called back 3 times, left voicemail and have heard nothing. At this point, I am requesting for gm to end my lease and I give you this truck back .

Purchased the 2016 duramax denali with less than 39,000 miles after my previous GMC truck turned out to be a safety hazard and a money pit. Sales rep had me drive the vehicle around the block and the vehicle was what I wanted. After driving the truck at highway speed I started noticing the vehicle drifting all over, I had to turn the lane departure warning system off because you cant keep it in the lane. Going into a construction zone I almost was pushed into the barrier because of the draft off of a semi. With speed limits up to 85 here in texas I cant believe somebody has not been killed yet. I am taking it to GMC cavender of Buick in san antonio Wednesday. This is a very serious issue.

Steering wheel sloppy 1-2 inches of play while driving.

Since I've owned this vehicle I have had transmission problems. Once it went from 70 to 20 on the highway. . It kicks or jerks at any speed. . . Especially going slow. . The shifting is horrible!!! the feeling of it losing power again like it did could cause serious damage to the transmission and unselfish and passengers. . I don't trust it on the highway!!! I keep a monitor connected to my truck at all times. . The dates coincide with the paperwork!! ongoing tranny issues all the time!! I paid way to much for this lemon!! engine vibrates around 80. . And if you don't use your blinker. . They truck fights you to change lanes. . It pulls you back!!.

The truck dies at any moment. Stability track system warning pops up in the little screen and the steering wheel is blocked when this happen. After these to things happens the truck shut down. Sometimes, after a few minutes the truck comes back to normal. This has happened to me for like 10 times in a period of like 15 months. I have taken to the dealer like 6 times and they haven't found the problem. They have change some wires from the battery. They have reprogram the software and nothing I still have the same problem. The truck dies at any moment. All of this happen when I am driving the truck most of the times at low speed and while turning to the left or right except like two times that occurred while I was driving in the highway. The mechanics in the dealer have done all kind of diagnostic that they have but they could not duplicated the problem so the answer that I get every time is that every is fine and that they couldn't duplicated the problem.

Vehicle has hard shift at 5-6 mph. Dealer stated could not find issue, and reflashed tcm. Approx month later, at 10k miles, truck hard shifted from red light on highway, once up to 45 mph, shutdown. Steering wheel locked up, no brakes, no control of vehicle at 45-50 mph. Dealer kept for one week, stated loose cable on starter from battery. Exactly 1k miles later (5 weeks), now at 11k miles, truck hard shifted at 5-6mph, and at 45-50 mph truck tried to shift in 4wd. All lights on dash came on as a result. Dealer has currently had the truck for two weeks and can not find issue. They supposedly consulted gm, and instead of sending an expert tech to help dealer find issue, advised dealer to replace ecm. Replacing ecm is the general answer to not sure what is wrong. This truck is a safety issue, as when it shuts off going 45-50 mph there is no control or brakes operational on the vehicle. Gm will replace the ecm, and just like right now, will not be able to replicate the problem, and expect me as the consumer to take delivery back of the vehicle. Currently all of my documentation is in the dash of this truck, at the dealership. Trying to determine how myself as the consumer can help ensure this safety issue is corrected, and not passed on.

Steering electrical assist fightback, driving,turning resulting in no steering-deadly! this can happen at any time while driving. Very dangerous! engine must be shut off and restarted before you can get out of street. Then message reads "lower driver window then raise" before proceeding.

While slowing down making a left or right turn it will not turn. It's as if the power steering malfunctions for a second. It caused me to "overshoot" a parking space in the city and have to back up and try again. This has happened several times. I have an appointment with GMC to have it checked out. This is very dangerous.

The stabilitrak sensor keeps going on and off. I've had this issue when I first got the truck in the end of October in 2017. The dealership could not fix it at first but finally had to fix some wiring. I've seen it go on a few times since then but never stayed on. And for about 2-3 weeks it's been coming on and off but staying more on and not going away now. I feel like this shouldn't happen to a newer truck.

Vibration 65+ mph, felt in steering wheel and seat. Steering wheels quivers at 65+ mph. Truck feels very unstable at highway speeds. Dealer states it's normal.

Power steering intermittently goes out on low speed, low engine rpm, right hand turns. I have had vehicle to dealer to have issue fixed on may 16, 2017. They indicated they could not duplicate problem. Model year 2014 have been recalled for this issue, but not 2015 model year trucks.

While driving my truck, it has had 3 alerts on dash for "service stabilitrak, power steering use caution and trailer brake. " vehicle gauges all drop to zero while operating vehicle and go on and off. The vehicle when this occurs also disengages from gear, vehicle is an automatic. Then engine revs up when it slips out of gear and generally goes back in gear as gauges come back on. The power steering seems to also lose some power. When this occurs, if you depress the gas pedal, you do not get any more power. This is technically the 6th occurrence. It has been back to dealer (griffin GMC of monroe, nc) and computer codes were cleared and nothing reported ie. . . Technically found that would cause this issue per the dealership as unable to re-produce the cause. I returned the truck today after this 6th occurrence due to my fear of driving the vehicle with my children and getting involved in an accident. I have video of this last occurrence of dashboard gauges and shared them with the dealership. First occurrence pictures are Feb 29, 2016 and Sunday, March 20, 2016. Vehicle has approximately 2000 miles on odometer. Entire time, vehicle has been running on local road, either at stop or driving below 45mph moving straight ahead. I could not replicate or cause the issue to happen again on purpose, very random.

Steering wheel and truck vibrates/shakes and various speeds.
