GMC Sierra 1500

"The gas gauge has stopped working and you never how much gas is left"

"The speedometor is irradick I under stand that themotor in the guages fail at about 72000 miles and the phone no. The dealer gave me dumped in to sn answering machene and no one called me back"

"some of the gauges do not go back to zero. The speedometer had to have the step motor replaced voltage gauge needs to have step motor replaced"

"instrument panel had be replaced because of bad guage"

"Instrument Cluster gear shift lights failed"

"Speedometer stopped workin"

"gauge cluster wont work at times is frozen. Speedometer stuck at say 100km when not moving alternator buried at 19 and oil pressure gauge also buried all the way to right truck works. also engine light has been on for past year plus warranty????????"

"Speedometer and gauges quit working"

"Panel lights sometimes go completely out. Airbag light on. Left heat control blows cold air if you select over 3/4 of the way up. speed gauge stops working at times. It reads incorrect so I use GPS for speed. I've had sensor replaced and it didn't he"

"The instrument cluster in my truck recently began to self destruct. The speedometer began to get very notchy and got worse until it quit working. One by one the other gauges in the cluster have stopped working. I found out that GMC had recalled the instrument cluster but never got notified of the recall. I bought the truck new so they knew who owned it and where i lived. The recall has since expired and i’m Stuck with a repair although not as expensive as the AC compressor i replaced in this truck, still aggravating at . $270 for a reconditioned unit on EBay."

"The instrument panel developed a problem which caused the analog coolant temperature, oil pressure, battery voltage, and fuel gauges to become nonfunctional. The entire instrument cluster had to be replaced which cost me around $800. The service writer claimed that it was due to a design or production flaw that GM was refusing to pay for. Come on GM! you've been making analog gauges since the 1920's and should be able to get them right by now!"

"Can't see the gear selector lights, gas gauge and other dash lights that are going bad. No longer can you replace the bulbs in the dash board you must replace the whole dash cluster. Makes for a simple build but repair becomes more expensive by a HUGE margin."

"Well known industry flaw with the circuit board materials, causing the dash lights and gauges to stop operating."

"Headlights flickered constantly. Voltage fluctuated. After several years, although charging was not an issue, resolved problem with Alternator replacement for $500.00"

"Light needed to be replaced as it "burned out"."

"One of the seats is shorting out and it keeps both of them from working"

"Not much to tell. The heating element shorted out and would auto shut off.It would have been a major expense at a dealership but repaired for under $500. It all started occasionally shutting off but by the end it would shut off immediately."

"The lights illuminating the controls on the doors, steering wheel and dash are almost all burned out now. Most of these require the complete switch to be replaced to fix the light. My GM dealer estimates the cost to fix all of these lights is now app"

"back lights for selector switches in the steering wheel, instrument cluster and dash are going out"

"When dash lights go out (along with all interior lights) it's hard to tell how fast you're going. GPS helps"

"The cluster lights in the dash will go out, blink & work find at times"

"Another well known problem the combination dimmer control and interior light switch, had to be replaced."

"When using the remote to open the doors the ignition system won't work. If we use the key to open the doors it turns over right away. Strange but true"

"Passenger Side works but Drivers side does not work so it must be a wiper transmission problem"

"I have had to replace one of the power steering hoses 3 times in the 6 years I have owned the truck. This is certainly some kind of design flaw"

"power steering box leaked and had the replacement also leaked The shop didn't charge but had to return for the work"

"Rusted power steering cooler."

"The electronic power steering pump failed"

"The power steering has failed or been difficult to steer four times. At first, my mechanic said it was a leak and to keep the fluid topped off. Then the steering failed and the vehicle was difficult to drive. The hose was replaced. That failed. Then the hose and pump were replaced. Those failed. A third replacement has been made. All of this took place within about 4 months."

"brackets holding the shocks and struts rotted out and had to be replaced"

"I had to replace the steering half shaft because oif a defective design allows the grease to leak out when it gets warmed up. GMC wouldn't cover it even though it was defective and they have a revised part that solves the problem. Common problem"

"The I Shaft has been replaced three times already!! Bad design"

"Have a bumping that is felt through steering wheel"

"Intermediate sterring shaft has been replaced twice"

"Had to replace tie rods, probably due to wear and tear"

"Slight shudder, severe wear on right front. Complete replacement required"

"CHEAP JUNK REPLACED 2 TIMES"

"Had to replace multiple, sooner than expected and not consistant service"

"Betting went bad on drivers side. Safety issue."

"Failed in a desert climate 1200 miles from home towing a 5th wheel trailer. Turned off the A/C as it was putting out very hot air. Opened the windows and drove home. Took to mechanic to fix for $1500."

"The in dash temperature sensor is going out and makes a constant clicking noise which is audible enough to be a nuisance and which is going to cost a significant amount to be replaced. This appears to be a common problem with these sensors as I had"

"The individual climate controls fail at random times. The driver's controls cease to function allowing no temperature control on the driver side of the vehicle. The registers are selected at random occasionally, causing the complete loss of control o"

"The small motors or solonoids under the dash that control the heater vents/doors have failed twice. First on the driver's side and then a year later on both sides. Also the main heater control door freezes up if the truck is started at temperatures b"

"Air duct diverter motor inoperative"

"When using AC, the center ducts would convert to heat with no notice. The problem persisted intermittently for 3 years. Finally diagnosed and repaired by a competent tech in 2014. Faulty servo motor"

"air conditioner blows scalding hot after operating For a little while. I shut down the engine and restart and the problem corrects followed by the same condition."

"The blower motor squirrel cage had a crack in it causing it to vibrate on the higher speeds. I replaced it myself"

"The fan motor was fine, the impeller cracked and made the blower vibrate, more on higher speeds. Had to replace the unit as a whole"

"A control module in the fuse box went bad. I went through three batteries because it was draining it each time. I checked and rechecked the fuses and nothing. Finally I took it in and the GMC dealer found it with the equipment they have"

"It sporadically gets stuck in heater mode and you can't make it stop blowing and can't turn the temperature down. It has been looked at with no success yet"

"Started to blow not so cold air......used a self fix R-134 a/c system recharge kit from O'rielly auto parts"

"refrigerant leak and air temp actuator, right side of the manual dual temp control. needed attention"
