Problems:
Brake fluid leaks

Worn brake pads
Over time, brake pads wear down and need to be replaced to maintain effective braking performance and avoid damage to the rotors.
Brake caliper issues
Brake calipers can seize or fail, leading to poor braking performance, uneven wear on brake pads, and potential safety hazards.
Abs sensor malfunction
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors can fail or become dirty, causing warning lights to illuminate and potentially compromising the ABS functionality.
Engine misfires
The GM L96 engine can experience misfires due to issues like faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors, which can lead to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
Oil consumption
Some GM L96 engines are known to consume oil at higher rates, which can lead to low oil levels and potential engine damage if not monitored and addressed.
Transmission problems
The 2010 GMC Sierra may experience transmission issues such as hard shifting, slipping gears, or transmission fluid leaks, which can affect drivability and require repairs.
Fuel system issues
Problems with the fuel pump, fuel injectors, or fuel lines can lead to poor engine performance, stalling, or difficulty starting, especially with the E85 MAX fuel system.
Cooling system failures
Radiator, water pump, or thermostat failures can lead to overheating, which can cause significant engine damage if not promptly addressed.
