1 Suspension problem of the 2025 GMC Sierra 2500

Failure Date: 06/17/2025

The passenger side rear wheel went into a pothole while making a right turn on a city street. This resulted in the right rear leaf spring breaking at the forward mounting point. This caused thr rear axle to swivel impacting the rear of the wheel well. The esc malfunction indicator and impact sensor malfunction llights illuminated appropriately 2-3 miles later after I was in a highway. This is a significant safety concern as I was at an increased speed in heavy traffic by the time the lights illuminated. This not only puts the vehicle occupants at risk, this is potentially a significant risk to other motorist. There were no noticeable indications of damage besides pulling until I was at appropriately 55mph on the highway. The vehicle is currently at a dealership for repair.

5 Suspension problem of the 2017 GMC Sierra 2500

Failure Date: 08/07/2017

Took truck in for first oil change. I had several problems including the back tires being over 50% worn out. Alignment was off and dealer repaired that and rotated the tires. Now when I stop at about 5 mph the truck jumps. I removed the abs fuse and problem goes away. Dealer states there is no warranty on tires even if they wear out in 6000 miles and the problem was the vehicle wasn't put together properly the first time. If the roads were covered with snow I would be in real trouble. Normal highway travel around town.

7 Suspension problem of the 2015 GMC Sierra 2500

Failure Date: 03/15/2016

While driving on dry pavement, driver moved knob on vehicle to switch from awd to 2wd. Vehicle went into an immediate spin which could not be corrected. (or maybe it was because of what happened next). Vehicle careened over two lanes ("presumably" would not stop - driver does not recall trying to hit the brakes repeatedly or at all as the "next problem" was in front of driver and driver was focusing on survival). . Driver quickly smashed through metal safety barrier and crashed through trees over a 30 ft embankment into a reservoir. Driver able to open roof while "steering" with left hand and opening roof with right hand as driver knew water was fast approaching. Driver smashed through trees, truck was demolished but driver was able to make it out of car alive as car took on water through opened roof. VIN number reports brake issues. Driver not aware of "brake recall" or any issues and did not report brake issue as an issue on scene as incident happened so fast and driver was attempting to stay alive and was ever focused on the next 'obstacle" as it was in the way per description herein. Airbags deployed as expected and driver exited water-filled vehicle via opened roof unharmed. GMC sent investigators out but no report has been issued to driver. Chubb lead investigator accompanied the GMC investigator and reported "no vehicle malfunction". After this incident, and reading others' problems, driver is now not convinced of that report. . No mention of brake recall seems to have been reported by anyone but by putting VIN number into this database.
