GMC SIERRA 2500 2011 Safety Review #10551047

GMC SIERRA 2500 2011 car safety problem was reported on Aug 09, 2011.GMC SIERRA 2500 2011, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . VEHICLE SPORADICALLY SPONTANEOUSLY LOCKS ALL 4 DOORS WITHIN 10 SECONDS AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR. NO TOUCHING OF REMOTE, NO ACCIDENTALLY HITTING A DOOR SWITCH WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENS WHEN I'M AT THE BACK OF THE TRUCK, OR 10 FEET AWAY. ALWAYS WITHIN 10 TO 15 SECONDS AFTER EXITING. IT MAY SOUND STRANGE, BUT IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN TOWARD THE END OF THE ONSTAR YEARLY CONTRACT. SAFETY CONCERN - I HAVE A 3-YEAR OLD GRANDSON WHO LIKES TO GO WITH ME. WHAT HAPPENS IF I FORGET TO TAKE THE KEYS WITH ME WHILE I'M REFUELING ON A HOT SUMMER DAY AND I HAVEN'T EXTENDED THE ONSTAR CONTRACT? OBVIOUSLY, I'D BREAK A WINDOW IF NECESSARY, BUT THEN I'D HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER WINDOW. IT APPEARS MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. OF COURSE, NO TROUBLE CODES THEREFORE DEALER CAN'T REPAIR, BUT MY DEALER'S SERVICE REP ADMITS IT HAPPENS VERY OFTEN AND NOT LIMITED TO GMC TRUCKS. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 2000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1GT121C8XBF. Gmc Sierra 2500 2011 problem was reported in FORT PAYNE, AL. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
