2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid PU/CC 4WD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid PU/CC 4WD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"i am a mechanic by trade and i noticed on 10/28/21 that gas was leaking from my truck's fuel pump. so i ordered a new fuel pump and prepared to install it last weekend. after removing the fuel tank it became obvious that i had a more serious problem with my truck. first, the fuel leak was from a rusted out fuel pump pressure line (on the actual fuel pump). this, in and of itself could have caused a fire as it was probably spraying gas directly onto the muffler! but then i find something much worse...the fuel tank support bar was completely rotted out! the fuel tank support bar is part of the frame that hold the gas tank in place!! i guess i should be happy that it had a gas leak because if it hadn’t, the gas tank could have easily fallen out while i was driving it & could have killed both my wife & i! the truck is only 8 years old and i was shocked to see it in this condition. i have worked on cars that are over 30 years old and i have never seen this kind of rot on a frame! i purchased the truck in 2016 and i'm still making monthly payments on it! i would like to know what gmc is going to do to repair this! i have called the dealership that i purchased it from but they were of no help. i anxiously await your reply! thank you!

"a crack suddenly appeared at the corner of my dashboard and the dashboard air bag cover that opens when deployed. i have parked my gmc in the garage every day since i brought it home from the dealer. i use a windshield reflector when parked outside at the market ect... i have read on line that there is a major problem with this happening to owners of like gmc's and year mine is a 2013 sierra 1500. it appeared suddenly for no reason. i feel it can affect the air bags ability to deploy correctly affecting mine or my family's safety if in an accident. i would think gm should repair this issue at no charge to me, it's a manufacture defect."
