2015 GMC Sierra 1500
This year drew 811 complaints against a median of 331 across the GMC Sierra 1500's other years, 2.5× that median. No single fault was reported unusually often, and it did not reach the 2.5× threshold this site flags at. It has 9 recalls, listed below.
Generation 2 of the GMC Sierra 1500, which began in 2014 and ran to 2018. Everything below compares this year against the others in that generation, not against a different car wearing the same name.

How this was worked out
Every year of the GMC Sierra 1500 was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
