NHTSA Complaint #10899831 — 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500

WITHIN ONE YEAR OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, AND OCCURRING NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF 15,000 MILES, THIS VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL IN WET CONDITIONS. VEHICLE WAS ALWAYS OPERATED WITH ALL SAFETY MECHANISMS INCLUDING TRACTION CONTROL ON. VEHICLE WAS ALWAYS OPERATED AT OR BELOW THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS AND WELL BELOW SPEED LIMITS IN WET CONDITIONS. ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND TURNING ONTO ROADS EITHER FROM A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY SPUN 90 TO 180 DEGREES FOR NO REASON. THE VEHICLE ALSO ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL LATERALLY AND SLID SIDEWAYS AS IF ON ICE; SOMETIMES IN TRAFFIC AND FORTUNATELY NO DAMAGE OR INJURY OCCURRING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER WITH TIRES AND SUSPENSION FOUND TO BE WITHIN LIMITS. SINCE NO INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT WAS DEFECTIVE EITHER THE VEHICLE, TIRES, OR THE COMBINATION MUST BE INTRINSICALLY UNSAFE. GM CUSTOMER CARE WAS CONTACTED AND CASE [XXX] OPENED. GM WILL NOT PERFORM ANY ACTION OR REPLACE TIRES SINCE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE LOSS OF CONTROL ON DRY ROADS. GM'S OFFICIAL RESPONSE TO ME WAS TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER DURING A RAIN STORM AND WITH ONE OF THEIR TECHS IN THE VEHICLE, I WAS TO REPLICATE MY PROBLEM FOR THEM TO WITNESS. GM'S OFFICIAL RESPONSE TO ME, INCLUDING CUSTOMER CARE CONSULTANT AND DEALER SERVICE MANAGER WORKING THROUGH HIS DISTRICT MANAGER, WAS TO INTENTIONALLY MAKE THE VEHICLE LOSE CONTROL ON A PUBLIC ROAD. THIS SEEMS COMPLETELY IRRESPONSIBLE AND POTENTIALLY CRIMINALLY TO ME SHOULD ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE OR INJURY OCCUR AS A RESULT. I HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES AT MY OWN EXPENSE OF NEARLY $1000 ON A NEARLY NEW $50K+ TRUCK IN ORDER TO DRIVE SAFELY.
