HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE HORRID AND PROVIDE VERY POOR ILLUMINATION. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY ON COUNTRY ROADS WITH NO STREET LIGHTS. HEADLIGHT DESIGN SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD. YOU'D THINK AFTER SPENDING $ 60,000 ON A PICKUP TRUCK IT WOULD COME WITH SOME DECENT HEADLIGHTS. NOT THE CASE ON THE GMC SIERRA. *TR

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
