The contact owns a 2020 GMC sierra. The contact stated that while driving at 25 mph, the system brake failure warning message illuminated on the instrument panel. Once the warning light illuminated, the contact experienced complete brake and steering failure. The contact was able to steer the vehicle into a curb to slow down the vehicle and avoid a possible collision with another vehicle. The contact stated that he had suffered pain to his left shoulder blade and left knee; however, he did not seek medical attention due to covid-19. After experiencing the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to desert sun motors, inc. (2600 n white sands blvd, alamogordo, nm 88310) where they cleared the system's computer and informed the contact that they found no defects with the vehicle. Upon return of the vehicle, he experienced another brake failure as the check engine light illuminated while driving at 55 mph. Due to the failure, the contact was forced to run a red light and drive up an incline in order to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The vehicle was then towed shamaley Buick GMC (955 crockett st, el paso, TX 79922) where it remained in their possession. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a field inspector was sent to inspect the vehicle. The contact stated that know brake failure codes were detected.

When making a full turn to the left with my 2014 GMC sierra there is a loud thumping noise that you can also feel in the steering wheel. The problem started periodically and I had a dealership diagnosis. They heard the noise and found no problems. The noise has become more consistent and a third party mechanic believes it to be a steering rack failure. The vehicle can be stationary or moving at parking lot speeds to hear the thump.

The steering rack developed a loud clunk that you could feel in the steering wheel and head outside when turned about 2/3 of the way to the left. The problem would happen almost every time the wheel was turned. The truck could be standing still or moving. I brought it to the dealer where they diagnosed it as having a bad steering rack. The truck has 43000 miles on it and it was definitely a safety issue. I read a little online about the problem and there is several people who have had the same issue. Someone stated that the new ones are built different than the 2014 and possibly 2015 model years. If the new ones are updated and it is a known problem it would be nice if the manufacturer would fix them before steering racks start failing.

Steering position sensor failed for the third time when making a turn. The resistance went away, it turned free. The consumer told the dealer it happened frequently. The sensor was replaced twice and this was third time. This caused the operator to make an uncontrolled over-steer turn.
