TL- THE CONTACT OWN GMC 3500 FOREST RIVER THUNDER XLR THUNDER BOLT. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTSE SOMEONE PULL ALONG SIDE OF HIS VEHICLE . THE CONTACT PULL OVER. THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS SHRED.
HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE HORRID AND PROVIDE VERY POOR ILLUMINATION. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY ON COUNTRY ROADS WITH NO STREET LIGHTS. HEADLIGHT DESIGN SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD. YOU'D THINK AFTER SPENDING $ 60,000 ON A PICKUP TRUCK IT WOULD COME WITH SOME DECENT HEADLIGHTS. NOT THE CASE ON THE GMC SIERRA. *TR
I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW GMC IN SAN DIEGO CA. I TOOK IT HOME TO DISCOVER THAT THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS COVER IN RUST. EVERYTHING FROM THE TIE RODS, TO THE DRIVE SHAFT. ANYTHING METAL IS COVERED IN RUST INCLUDING THE FRAME. ITS NOT A SURFACE RUST,THE RUST IS CORRODING THESE PARTS ALREADY AND THE TRUCK IS BRAND NEW. HOW COULD THIS BE SOLD AS A BRAND NEW TRUCK? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. WE DO NOT HAVE SNOW HERE THAT WOULD HAVE SPRAYED SALT ON HE TRUCK TO DO THIS. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN CORRODING FOR SOME TIME NOW EVEN THO THEY SAID IT WAS JUST BUILT. RUST DOESN'T GO AWAY ONLY GETS WORSE AND A BRAND NEW TRUCK SHOULDN'T BE COVER IN IT. I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THIS TRUCK. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA HD. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, A DEAR CROSSED THE CONTACT'S PATH AND CRASHED INTO THE FRONT END AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY, BUT A SUBSTANCE WAS RELEASED. ALSO, THE CONTACT ADDED THAT THE FOUR REAR AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AS NORMAL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MERGE THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD, NECK, AND BACK, BUT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THE CONTACT WAS TO REQUEST FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE AIR BAGS FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.
WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING HOSE CAME OFF CAUSING A SUDDEN LOSE OF FLUID RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. ALTHOUGH A RECALL/BULLETIN WAS TO BE ISSUED ON THIS PER THE DEALER (I CAN NOT FIND EVIDENCE OF A RECALL FOR THIS), MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT AFTER THE INCIDENT WAS RECOGNIZED AND THOUGHT TO BE CORRECTED. SUDDEN LOSE OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES IN A VEHICLE THIS SIZE WHILE PULLING A LARGE TRAILER COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. *TR
