Upon starting the truck to warm it up the power sliding rear window with defroster burned components and the left portion of the window shattered, luckily avoiding a fire. It is just like the recall in Canada #N192220470 and also # N192265660. GM already accepted partial blame trying to give an unacceptable amount off the repairs.

While making turns the vehicle intermittently stalls, losing all control of steering and electrical components. When it stalls there is no steering control whatsoever and the vehicle does have brakes, but slow to react.. restart the vehicle and the computer system slowly resets.

My truck was parked at a business. I started the truck after being inside for about 10 minutes and started to smell an electrical burn/shortening. I turned the truck off, told my wife to get out and I popped the hood. By the time she walked to the back and me to the front, the rear window behind the driver shattered, sending glass inside and outside the vehicle. After opening the doors for a few minutes, the smell was gone, since I work with electronics for work, is normal for the smell. I think it was defroster and/or the sliding rear window wiring. This happened on 12/03/2019. I had escalated this up General Motors customer relations and after level 2 was told it was not their issue, even after I referenced the Canadian recall for this very issue. The truck, per my service writer todd, has since been recalled but I cannot find anything anywhere. My truck is still at the dealer, woody Buick GMC, naperville, il and has not been repaired. That's also why I can't send a photo.

5 minutes after starting my truck, I was driving on a side road, to work, with the rear window defrost on, when I heard a hissing sound then started to smell something burning, from behind me. I look in my rearview mirror and saw smoke coming from above/behind the passenger seat. I quickly pulled over, jumped out and as I was looking for the source of the smoke, I saw sparks jump from the rear window defrost then "bang" like a gun firing: The rear driver's side passenger window shattered. The air temp was 3F. I immediately drove to a Chevy/GMC dealership 4 miles away. They told me to report to the GMC customer care line. No mention of a recall was made to me. Though it appears there is one. If someone had been sitting in the back seat, infront of the window, I do feel this may have caused them harm. ## VIN passed ## GMC 2016 ##

On 02/12/2020, I was turning turning to park in a parking spot at work when the radio and other electrical components shut down, and the steering wheel jerked in the opposite direction. I temporarily loss control of my own steering wheel. This occurred 3 times while trying to park. In addition, a message about stabilitrack appeared. It is well known that GM has recalled over 1,700,000 vehicles with this same power steering issue stating that owners will lose control of the steering wheel, increasing the risk of a crash. See NHTSA campaign number: 18V586. GM's own number for this recall is 18289. However, GM has only included certain vehicles in this recall, mainly 2014 and 2015. My 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 is currently not included in GM's recall even though the same power steering problem is occurring. According to a notice published with the nhtsc, the trucks may experience a temporary loss of electric power steering (eps) assist followed by a sudden return of eps assist. The issue, GM says, occurs typically during low-speed turning maneuvers. If eps assist is lost and suddenly returned, the driver could lose temporary control of the steering wheel, increasing the risk of a crash. GM says it first became aware of the issue in Feb. 2017 after receiving customer complaints related to loss of eps. Tests conducted between April and may found that some of the vehicles contained electrical issues that could cause loss of eps. The carmaker was to contact affected owners & dealers will perform a reflash of the eps module software. GM stated that newer vehicles contained recalibrated software and will not have this issue. GM is incorrect in it assessment since I have just experienced the same power steering issue in my 2016 Sierra, & now the dealer does not want to repair the issue since there is no GM recall on 2016S. There is definitely a problem with power steering on 2016S.

Periodically 3 times a week, while driving, the stabiliztrak illuminates and drivability declines, engine check light illums, the gear remains in a low gear without shifting. Turn the ignition off for a couple seconds and it clears and the engine light goes out after 25-35 miles. Sometime it doesn't reset after 3 attempts of turning off and on the ignition. The codes are P0700 a U0100 with others when dealership analyzed. Three times it was in the GMC shop and three times giving back and problem still existed. I recorded on video and gave it to the dealership as proof.

I bought a new 2015 GMC Sierra 4X4 from bob king auto in wilmington nc with 0 mile's on it very expensive truck. You can't see at night to drive the headlight's the headlight's have no distance to them maybe 25 ft. And no side vision in other word's you can't see the side of the road also if it's raining at night you can't see anything terrible headlights! my truck was like this when we bought it new in 2015 and I have been trying since then to resolve this issue with general motor's corporate in detroit mi. The dealership has tried to fix this problem twice and this made the problem worse. In my opinion GM should issue a recall on these trucks before someone get's hurt or worse while trying to see with these defective headlights.
