What NHTSA data shows for GMC

Across the 18 GMC models with enough data to count (model years 1995–2022), NHTSA has 51,798 owner complaints on file and 561 recall campaigns. The most-reported components across the make are brakes (6,529), electrical system (5,252), transmission and drivetrain (4,481). The GMC Sierra 1500 has the most complaints of any GMC, with 10,269. Data as of 2026-10-12.

Complaint counts rise with how many of a model were sold and how long they've been on the road, so a big number mostly means a common car. The useful part is what fails: when the top complaint is brakes, read our guide to deciding whether to repair or junk before you take an offer.
