general problems of the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500

My end of year 2019 produced GMC Sierra 1500 5. 3 v8, 4wd x31 4 door truck had a serious malfunction that could have caused great harm. I was driving down my driveway at approximately 20 mph when the truck's rear wheels locked up, stopping the truck instantly, sending me into the steering wheel narrowly missing the windshield with my face. After a moment, I attempted to drive again to move the truck out of the travel path. When I did, the truck back wheels completely locked up again (when I reached 6mph).  I had the truck towed to my local shop and was told that it was the transmission locking up making the wheels lock up. The part (transmission) that was ordered for repair was on national backorder and took over two months to get my truck repaired and functional again. I was fortunate to have a warranty (now expired) and pay a percentage of the repair fee, however, the total repair fee was near 12,000. This was paid for by myself and my warranty company. Considering the part was on national backorder, I know that these types of problems are occurring with many of these trucks. I learned of the recall for this same problem that my truck had and checked the recall for my VIN. To my complete surprise, my truck was not listed as being recalled, even though the exact same problem occurred with my truck. I would like to get the cost of the repairs refunded considering it took gm so long to recall the problem leaving me to pay for their errors. This is not a cheap automobile and was expected to be built well. I am very fortunate that I was not on a major highway or traveling at a high rate of speed when this happened. It was a very scary ordeal being propelled into the windshield of your vehicle when driving due to abrupt, extremely unusual 100% mechanical failure of no fault of your own. This recall should be expanded to include all vehicles that have the faulty transmission, including mine. Repair receipts can be provided. I appreciate your time and consideration.

While making a righthand turn at approximately 10-15 mph, my passenger side front wheel failed at the ball joint and collapsed. Reviewing the carfax, this is the 2nd time this has happened to this vehicle (the first was on the driver side wheel). I noticed safety recall report 21v-718 seems to describe the issue I'm facing with the "front upper control arm experiencing accelerated wear. . . Leading to ball joint separation", but according to gm, since no unsatisfied recalls are shown on my VIN report, there's nothing they're willing to do. I believe the failed part number is 573. This failure left my truck sitting in the middle of the road obviously with no way to move it other than a tow truck dragging it onto his bed.

Driving at roughly 3 miles per hour in 4 wheel high on a gravel road. The axle broke and the tire collapsed. I strongly believe something is defective. (maybe a weld issue?).

Steering freeze up on me son hit an electric pole head on rolled over few times. The front air bags did not deploy and the left back tire was deployed with the rotor. This happened out of the city limits coming into town.

Driving my 2019 sierra on a slightly snow covered road applied brakes and truck pulled to the right and antilock brakes never worked causing me to hit guard rail. Called insurance talked with dealer about what happened they said to contact gm customer service. Had my wrecked truck fixed and when gm got back to me they said there was nothing else they could do because I contacted my insurance instead of dealership???? now I have received another recall notice telling me my brakes are not responding properly. Guess I need a lawyer I don't know.

Tl- the contact owns a 2019 GMC sierra. The contact stated that while driving about 5 mph, the rim detached and made aa "terrible noise". The vehicle was taken to the barker Buick GMC 985-464-8194, located at 6444 w main st, houma, la 70360) where the rim, flange and the wheel were replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the dealer did the right repairs. The failure mileage was approximately 10,300. Fe.

I am a heavy highway construction inspector for wvdoh and while working on I 81 sb in martinsburg, wv this morning around 2:00 am while performing my duties I attempted to pull out of my lane closure into traffic when my truck literally got stuck halfway out into live traffic. It was as if I was stomping on the brakes instead of giving it gas. Fortunately I reacted swiftly and put the truck in reverse to back into my lane closure preventing a collision with a tractor trailer traveling at speeds in excess of 55 mph. I was literally shaking when I realized how close of a call it actually was and that not only could I or the truck driver have been killed, but so could the workers on my job have been injured and/or killed. I had to have my truck towed back to my field office. For some reason the truck started driving properly again. There is definitely something wrong and it is extremely fortunate that no injuries occurred on my project. I did notice a post on this website explaining the very thing that happened to me this morning. This issue must be addressed immediately before people are killed.
