3 Wiper problem of the 2023 GMC Sierra 2500

Failure Date: 01/23/2023

No incident as of yet. The wide angle driver mirror cannot be set high enough to see down the side of the truck. It is a factory installed towing mirror. I have to lower my my seat all of the way and I cannot see the top rail of the bed. The mirror won't let me see down the side of the truck which makes it really dangerous when I pull my 32' fifth wheel trailer. I took it to the dealer and they told me at first ( I purchased the truck on 01-22-2023) the mirror is one of 6 items that warranty doesn't cover. Then they told me it is very difficult to get the manufacturer to authorize replacement. The dealer eye balled a mirror just from standing in front of it on a lot truck and said he couldn't see a difference. All I can see out of it is basically is the rear tire. I called gm and the person looking into it was transferred after about a week. The person that took over asked me to give him a week to look into it. He called me today and said he hasn't had a chance yet that he needs a couple of more days.

4 Wiper problem of the 2016 GMC Sierra 2500

Failure Date: 01/22/2023

I remote started my truck yesterday morning to get it warmed up before loading my family. They all then got into the truck, my 5 year old and 8 year old in the back seat in booster seats. I threw in some more bags into the back of the truck and started to climb into the truck. As I did that my kids were starting to get nervous and my wife was pointing and stating that the rear window slider was smoking. I put the key into the ignition and turned the key on. Upon doing that the smoke stopped but a few seconds later there was a loud bang, similar to a gun shot, and the rear passenger side window shattered. My 8 year old had glass hit her and my 5 year old was hysterical. Needless to say, the 5 hour drive home was not much fun for anyone after that occured.

5 Wiper problem of the 2018 GMC Sierra 2500

Failure Date: 10/07/2021

Both the outside mirrors are loose and will fold while driving. At night if I am not aware and it is dark the mirror fails to identify vehicles in the visibility area because they vibrate closed to the door from the driving air on the mirror. I will have to pull over and push the mirror back. I have brought it to the dealer and they say they all do it. It is normal. The issues has been confirmed by the dealer. It has been present on the car for about 1 year. The internet is filled with this safety complaint. They are starting to fold when you close the door.

Not only does the right side mirror have the objects are closer than it appears style mirror used for cars making it impossible to use for towing ( on a truck with a tow package ) it has red lights that flash in the mirror. Not only does the flashing red lights make it hard to see anything in the mirror at night, it makes it almost impossible to use it in the rain at night, as it makes the water drops on the window flash red as well . It is a safety hazard that could also be a problem for someone with photosensitive epilepsy (pse) is a form of epilepsy in which seizures are triggered by visual stimuli that form patterns in time or space, such as flashing lights; bold, regular patterns; or regular moving patterns.

While driving in rain with wipers on intermittent, they suddenly ran full-time and would not shut off. Only way to turn off wipers is pull the fuse. With fuse out, wipers do not work at all, and driver's door must be opened to access fuse area. This is a hazard, as wipers are not available while driving without opening door.

11 Wiper problem of the 1998 GMC Sierra 2500

Failure Date: 09/05/2006

Windshield wipers began to fail suddenly on and off while driving in the rain and eventually quit working all together. I checked with the dealer for recalls and found that there were recalls for this problem on chevy & GMC trucks from 1994 to 1996. My truck is a 1998 but it was built in 1997. I waited for the recall to be extended however I finally spent $60. 00 and replaced the defective part. I know 3 other people with 1998 chevy/GMC trucks who have all had this problem. One resulted in the death of a child and the imprisonment of the driver who was unable to file a complaint.
