Problems with 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 EXTERIOR LIGHTING

When exiting from one highway to another in heavy traffic were breaking was required, my trucks power steering and power brakes had completely gone out. i was on a straight track for a highway patrol who was standing outside his vehicle along with another motorist. after fighting to steer the truck while trying to brake to avoid hitting other motorists i realized that the truck had also died. shook up and scared i started the truck and began to drive away with the officer yelling what the hell are you doing. the truck has done this several times. three of which almost resulted in an accident. it has been in the dealership were they told me it was a high resistance in the negative battery cable which was replaced and resulted in no change.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. while operating the vehicle at night, both the low beam and high beam headlights illuminated extremely low, which created a visibility hazard for the driver. also, while driving in forward and reverse, the brake pedal became extremely hard to depress and the stopping distance was extended. the contact indicated that the failures were more present while driving at low speeds in reverse and after pressing the brake pedal multiple times. the cause of the failures was not determined. charlie's chevrolet (1412 us route 202, winthrop, me 04364) and the manufacturer were notified. the failure mileage was 14,000.

2015 gmc sierra sle / 60k miles / projector headlights...numerous complaints from numerous others, i'm in the same boat. illumination in general, driving in rural areas, driving in inclement weather, making turns (side streets), etc., is horrible, unsafe, nerve-racking and troublesome. sure, the headlights look snazzy, but perform about as well as my lawn tractor's headlights. i see there's a tsb regarding the situation and, much to my dismay, i have to pay for said parts/labor to correct an obvious design flaw/snafu. am i crazy for thinking this is unacceptable? even more shocking, it appears the bcm reprogramming (marginal results) and lamp replacement is problematic (increased voltage to a bulb/lamp shortens its life considerably). a vehicle that costs 30-40-50k should not have garbage technology. on the plus side, at 48 years young, my vision remains 20/20 and i do not require vision correction. the wife, my 2 kids (of driving age) and my neighbor concur - these headlights suck. i love everything else about the vehicle, but it looks like instead of spending $200 for the tsb, i'll try my luck with aftermarket replacements for $300. via multiple online vehicle forums, most who've gone the route of tsb are ...

The bulbs in the tail lights corrode in place due to excess road grime (salt, sand, etc.) being splashed up on them. this causes them to burn out prematurely and removal is impossible due to the corrosion of the bulb into the socket. this results in having to replace the entire wiring harness. according to my local gmc dealership (west herr), this is a common problem that gm isn't covering. so, i had to pay for a new wiring harness out of pocket in order to replace one of the tail light bulbs.

Projector style headlights that came factory are too dim making it very difficult to drive at night and unsafe. lights are now powerful enough to light up the road.

Headlights are poor. low and high beams do not illuminate the road effectively in rural areas

The stock factory head lamps/bulbs are very dim and do not light up the side of the road or very far down the road and the lights have a very sharp cut off line.

Headlights are very dim, hard to see at night especially when it is raining. must use fog lamps at all times to be able to improve vision. contacted gm and dealer about issue, have claim number. they say truck is no longer under warranty to do anything.

Night time vision is compromised due to poor headlight illumination, most notable in areas of low ambient lighting or rain. this has been present since purchased new. truck headlight bulbs were updated under general motors service bulletin pit5374b at local gmc dealer where vehicle was purchased. charge for this update was $149.21. while i do not hold the dealer responsible for this charge, i do feel the substandard lights should be considered a mandatory safety issue and dealt with as such

Headlight quality headlight quality is very poor,side lighting and distance lighting are terrible. gm issued a tsb but no recall for people who complained about the headlights.i purchased at 37k so am beyond the 3yr/36k. i am looking into after market fixes for the problem. i was told the problem was fixed in the 2016 models.

Poor quality headlights, very difficult to not "over drive" the projected range of headlights. in reality, you should probably never drive over 35 mph after dark. it is impossible to see anything in the rain.

The headlights on my 2015 gmc serria 1500 slt are unsafe. the headlights do not light to the sides adequitely and this is very apparent when making a turn at night. i have also read about this same headlight safety concern on several websites posted by other owners.

Loss of power steering assist, steering wheel jerks or kicks back when turning, messages with warning chime appear on instrument panel which also goes blank or inoperative, engine stalls and dies. this happens while vehicle is in motion on city street or hwy i10 (in bumper to bumper traffic) and when turning or backing up into a parking spot. this has happened before but more recently lately (at least once a day since 9/16 -9/18/2017)

As well as having very poor visability, the haedlight bulbs on my truck have blown out 5 times in only two years. there is obviuosly something wrong with something besides the bulbs.i am going broke replacing them. i called the dealer and was told that it would cost me 115.00 an hour just to look at the truck. i would rather give the truck back, than pay to have a problam that is obviously a manufacturing defect, fixed. the lights have went out both while moving, and stationary.

Very poor headlights. i just can't see. it is like a fog. nlocked out side views. dims are not good and brights don't even get flashed by oncoming vehicles. they shine in the trees. i took the vehicle in three times to a dealer of gmc's and they don't have a solution. they said they realize the problem but hands are tied because i think if they start to fix it a can of worms will be opened up and cost the company. how many complaints must you have?
