Traction control warning light indicate stabilitrac needs service and is not on. Obd code reads bad steering sensor. According to other gm owners online this is a constant problem with these vehicles. Many show the repair instructions on line. The warning light has been off and on for some time when car is cool its off when it sets in the sun it goes on. I have contacted the topeka KS gm dealer twice this week to get the cost to replace this sensor and am told they will call me back but no one has.

When driving my steering wheel jerks causing vehicle to veer, stabilitrak snd traction lights flash, lights flicker all the while driving. Vehicle nearly lost control while doing so.

5 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/27/2022

There is an issue with the radio head unit that causes a high pitched noise, even when the radio is off. It happens with anything connected to the radio, like the indicator, seatbelt warning, door ajar warning. The high pitch noise causes migraines and nausea in drivers and passengers. Issue has been ongoing for months. All 3 radio heads installed by dealer have emitted this sound. Dealer refuses to send in 3rd new unit. Relief from sound only happens when the fuse for the radio head unit is pulled. Attaching a picture of the sound frequency after opening the door, car not on.

The dashboard is cracking on both sides with one crack leading to the air bag. This creates a hazard as it could impact airbag or pieces of dash could cause injury as they are sharp. Dealers will not replace although it appears to be known issue.

7 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/25/2020

Was driving down the road going about 45 mph and vehicle felt like it lost power then it completely shut off. Had only gone about 3 miles when it happened. Was able to get to the shoulder and restart vehicle to drive back home. There were no warning lights or anything. It did seem like the engine was revving itself for a few seconds when I restarted it. Then it seemed normal and I was able to drive the approximate 3 miles back without any issues.

8 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2018

Live in arizona. Was driving in August 2018 in afternoon vehicle failed to accelerate in intersection. Almost got tboned. Took to GMC dealership. We were so scared as we had our son in the car. Dealership kept for a week kept telling us there was nothing wrong I would not accept this for an answer I told my husband to tell them that we were not going to pick up the car could they please have a manager look at it at that point we also ask them to replace any fluids and do whatever they could to make the vehicle as safe as possible as this is our main vehicle at that point we were given a bulletin that was put out in 2015 stating that this particular car had this issue at temperatures above 110 degrees fahrenheit and when a dealership why GMC did not recall they informed us that it was due to the fact that it only affected a few state that actually get that hot I was furious with this answer I did contact a lawyer but unfortunately it did not fit into the lemon law and so nothing got done I did not know about this reporting method until just now I am in fear again as temperatures are currently heating up in arizona and have made a complaint to GMC which was very hard to do they kept telling me to take it back to dealership what dealership has already told me they cannot fix it that is why they gave me the bulletin there is nothing they can do dmc it's supposed to call dealership on Monday and call me back at this point I really feel like a recall on this vehicle is the safest option for everyone that may own or come into contact with this vehicle on the road I have a copy of the bulletin in my email GMC has stated through internet chat and phone call that they cannot locate this bulletin I do have a copy and would provide it if requested.
