Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)My care received error code stating service side detection system. Took it to a dealer who, after thoroughly checking my entire electrical system told me the fuse to my side detection modules blew and caused those defective modules to then create a continuous back-feeding of power to the rear wire harness causing a complete depletion of my battery, but also caused the wires to completely melt to the wire harness, which in turn rendered my radio useless and caused several other electrical error codes to come up on my DIC. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE! GM knows this is an ongoing issue because there are ZERO modules to date to replace my defective modules. NONE! From what I read from other blogs, a lot of other GMC owners are having the same issues, YET GMC does not feel this is worth a recall! It could be weeks to months to receive the replacement modules and I tend to feel they will still be sub par. I WILL NEVER BUY A GM VEHICLE AGAIN AND I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE IF THEY VALUE THEIR FAMILIES LIVES AND THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY!
I HAVE HAD THE "SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM" FAIL TWICE IN 2 YEARS. I SEE THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL (N172097060) FOR THIS ISSUE BUT THIS DOES NOT COME UP SAYING MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED WHEN I SEARCH THE VIN. I BELIEVE THERE IS MORE VEHICLES INCLUDED THAN THE 131,652 THEY IS CLAIMED IN THIS REPORT.
