(1) the truck hesitates and the engine almost shuts off like it's not getting enough gas, it does this for about the first 45 mins. Of startup. (2) the battery has been replaced for the second time and even with a new battery it sounds like it's barely got enough power to start the engine

  • 16,500 miles
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.
