Big Mistake!!!

So this was the first brand new vehicle I ever purchased. Yes it is beautiful. Love the big screen , dual climate controls( which I can see make a difference) and you have to have it on full blast for people in the back seat due to no vents back there. Love the nice leather interior. However, lights are horrible at night. Hard to see anything. Bluetooth worked good at first but now can't understand anything. Weird! The back glass leaked and stained the headliner. It's in the shop as we speak. The WORST thing is since about 5,000 miles it has had a clunking noise after going 5-10 in traffic then speed up it clunks and jerks super hard! I've had it to dealer four times they say " oh that's just nothing, that's just how these new vehicles shift" BS. I work hard for my money and for what I paid for this GM needs to fix it! I would think twice maybe three or four times before I buy one.

10/15/17 ***UPDATE - GM Bought the TRUCK BACK DUE TO LEMON LAW Breach of Contract*** "What should other shoppers know before buying this car?" Simple: Don't Buy this Truck! It's so poorly constructed and over-engineered. Trust me when I tell you that I have always relied heavy on Edmund's reviews and this time I did not. What a mistake and my 15' Sierra now has a lemon law case against it. The transmission in this truck is so poor and off-spec. Took it back to a "certified" GMC repair shop [aka the dealer I bought it] and they cannot figure out the problem. It's been to the shop 6+ times for the transmission alone, all of which have been noted and recorded issues with the service manager and they have made repair attempts. The whole cabin SHAKES at all speeds (seat, pedal, center console) They flushed the transmission twice, as per corporate GM. The had to replace the TCM (Transmission Control Module) twice. The Driver seat was not bolted down or defective. They repaired that with a "Shim". GMC is terrible as is there corporate operation. I really should have looked into a Ford or Ram. Please listen to my headache and do not purchase any GMC Sierra / Chevy Silverado years 2014 and above as they still have not found a resolution to the shaking issue. My repair list is too long to mention everything that has gone wrong ... all for a 50K plus truck. NOT professional GRADE, GMC.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUS!!! Be extremely careful driving this vehicle at night!!! The way the LOW BEAMS are designed make for a Dangerous Driving Condition!!! The OEM Headlights are NOT ADJUSTABLE!!!! If anyone comes up with a fix or an approved warranty replacement set of Headlights please contact me [contact info removed]. The Hump? Or left foot pad on the Drivers side is something that shall need to be fixed. It's down wright uncomfortable, and I'm thinking a RAZOR BLADE and maybe a 5 Lbs MECHANOCKER Hammer may do the trick. The Owners manual says there should be locking tabs below the (VYNAL?) interior flooring for floor mats. I imagine with the Razor Blade and a set of Heavy Shears I will find out. So, Basically for $34k I've got a new truck that is in need of some Mechanical Surgery. On the Good side though the Sales Team that I bought this vehicle from went above and beyond their duty to obtain this vehicle to sell to me. Great Job Sales Team!

I've driven plenty of trucks - F150, Chevy Avalanche, Silverado...but this one...this one blows them away! Looks amazing. Drives amazing. Technology is amazing. Comfort is amazing. Seriously, I can't say enough good things about this 2015 Sierra SLT Z71. I'm not one for fancy things, but I felt that I deserved a nice car - and this is definitely a nice care. Interior is well appointed with leather trim on the wheel and dashboard; nice wood and aluminum accents throughout the cockpit; user-friendly steering wheel and touchscreen controls; heated AND cooled seats; heated steering wheel for those cold mornings; power seats; and plenty of leg room in the back. Exterior is clean: 22" wheels help you ride a bit higher so you'll have better visibility; chrome accents are eye catching, but modestly appointed; overall...it just looks GOOOOOD. Ride is smooth and isn't "trucky" if that makes sense.

Its now been a year I have had my 2015 GMC Sierra. I have put on 11,000 miles and have not had any problems. I have not towed with it yet but my friends with the same year and model say its great towing with it. I would like to see better fuel economy but it is a truck. I average about 16mpg in the city and 19-19.5mpgon the Interstate. (both of those figures are with the truck in 2 wheel drive mode.) I believe that when GM puts their 10 speed transmission on the Sierra (probably 2019 or 2020) it should give it an extra 2 miles to the gallon, or so I've read. The truck handles the snow and Ice great here in Nebraska. I drove through 4 foot drifts once before the plows came through and it handled great.
