2024 GMC SIERRA 1500 — Complaint #2136838
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER filed October 6, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2136838 (ODI reference 11691654) concerns a 2024 GMC SIERRA 1500 and was filed on October 6, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 1, 2025. The vehicle had 3,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Mississippi based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as visibility:windshield wiper/washer, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same GMC SIERRA 1500 cohort independently describe similar visibility:windshield wiper/washer failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2024 GMC SIERRA 1500 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the windshield washer fluid activated unintendedly and sprayed over the front windshield, causing a visibility hazard for the driver. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who repaired a loosened electrical wire, and the vehicle was repaired. Additionally, the radio cluster unintendedly deactivated, and the OnStar Service became unavailable. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the radio cluster, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not yet contacted regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 3,000.
