2011 Gmc Sierra 1500 Electrical Problems

You purchased a 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 that showed 119,000 miles at the time of sale, but when you went to register it, the odometer reading had jumped to 128,000 miles. This discrepancy suggests the odometer may have been tampered with or that the mileage wasn't accurately recorded at purchase. You'll likely need to contact your state's registration authority and potentially pursue legal action against the seller, as this appears to be odometer fraud.

When you engage 4-wheel drive, your dashboard displays a 'Service StabiliTrak' message and both the traction control and ABS warning lights illuminate. This suggests a problem with the stability control system that's triggered by switching to 4WD mode. A technician will likely need to scan the vehicle's computer for fault codes and may need to replace or repair sensors or wiring related to the stability control system.

- The traction control/stabilitrac malfunctioned causing my truck brake automatically while in motion. - Its causing my truck to brake unexpectedly - My mechanic said its an electrical issue and its becoming common in these trucks - My dashboard messages alternate from "traction control off" and "service stabiltrak"

THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS STAYING ON AND WONT SHUT OFF AT ALL AND I HAD MY JOB LOOK AT IT AND IT IS THE JUNCTION BOX. HOWEVER I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PEOPLE TELL ME THEY HAVE HAD THIS ISSUES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S REAR DEFROST HAD FAILED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE FUSE LINE AND NOTICED THAT IT HAD MELTED ON THE PANEL BOX. THE DEALER (DON BROWN CHEVROLET, INC. 2244 S KINGSHIGHWAY BLVD, ST. LOUIS, MO 63110; (314) 222-0363) WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL REGARDING THIS MATTER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE AND CONFIRMED WHAT THE DEALER STATED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

WHEN I TURN THE TRUCK OFF THE DIM HEADLAMPS STAY ON WITH THE KEYS OUT. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THEM GO OFF IS TO PULL THE BATTERY

ISSUE #1-WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STABLITRAK WARNING LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, AND BRAKE LIGHT ALL CAME ON. VEHICLES ENGINE POWER WAS SUDDENLY REDUCED TO ABOUT 10 MPH WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN WHICH I FOUND TO BE VERY DANGEROUS! HAD TO PULL OVER, TURNED OFF VEHICLE, LIGHTS WENT OFF, STARTED DRIVING AGAIN, VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING. HAD TO TAKE IN FOR MECHANICAL REPAIRS. ISSUE #2- KEY IGNITION SWITCH JUST STARTED LOCKING UP ON THE VEHICLE, WOULD NOT TURN BACK TO NORMAL TO POSITION, HAD TO REPEATEDLY KEEP JIGGLING FOR OVER 30 MINUTES OR SO TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP?? HAD TO TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS ALSO. THESE ARE VERY UNSAFE AND COSTLY ISSUES THAT GMC SHOULD BE MANDATORILY REQUIRED TO HAVE RECALLED AND IMMEDIATELY ADDRESSED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC!!

THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION SWITCH, WHEN I INSERT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, IT WON'T TURN, IT BIND, ITS STOCK, VERY HARD TO TURN.

TAKATA RECALL I GOT REAR ENEDED AT A STOP SIGN, COMPLETELY STOPPED AND THE LADY JUST SMASHED RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF ME. NO AIR BAGS EVER EVEN DEPLOYED!

YESTERDAY AUGUST 20, 2017 IN THE LATE AFTERNOON WHILE DRIVING, MY 2011 GMC SIERRA DEAD STOPPED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT . I REMAINED BLOCKING THE ROAD UNTIL THE POLICE ARRIVED TO PUSH MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START EVEN WITH A JUMP. THE CAR IS NOW AT THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THE AUTO MECHANIC STATED THAT THE HYBRID SYSTEM IS NOT RESPONDING.

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AND OUT SIDE AIR TEMPERATURE SAYS 55 AND ITS 92 OUTSIDE WHEN MPVEING OR STILL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHORTED RANDOMLY SINCE 2011.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND RECOMMENDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO A SECOND DEALER. THE CONTACT HAD BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ALL MY DOOR LOCKS REPEATEDLY LOCK AND UNLOCK, ALL MY EMERGENCY CHECKS AND SERVICE LIGHT GO ON AND OFF, MY GAUGES ALL DROP TO ZERO, AND MOST RECENTLY MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. BUT IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES IT'S WORSE THAN OTHERS. I RECENTLY HAD TO STEER UP ONTO A CURB BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING AND MY GAUGES DROPPED TO ZERO AND MY ENGINE COMPLETELY CUT OUT. AND THAT WAS AFTER MY AIRBAGS SHUT OFF AND MY LIGHTS AND DOOR LOCKS FLICKERED REPEATEDLY. MAYBE THERE'S A SHORT IN A CIRCUIT OR WIRE OR MAYBE IT'S MY ALTERNATOR BUT SERVICES AT A DEALERSHIP ARE HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME FINDING IT. AND AL THESE THINGS HAPPEN WHETHER I'M DRIVING OR STATIONARY. RAIN OR DRY. DOESN'T MATTER. BUT IT'S CLEARLY UNSAFE. AND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT'S MY ONLY MEANS FOR TRANSPORTATION.

VEHICLE STALLS LOSING ALL POWER TO STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES.

HAS BEEN IN CERTIFIED GMC SHOP THREE TIMES, THEY KEEP INSISTING THEY CANNOT FIND PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE BE PICKED UP. POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP. NOT ONLY UNSAFE FOR DRIVER BUT ALSO ANYONE BEHIND THE VEHICLE. *TR
