Read complaints for GMC SIERRA 1500 (2014)
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign numbers: 16v651000 (air bags, seat belts) and 16v209000 (seat belts). The dealer scheduled a repair, but when the contact arrived at the dealer, he was informed that the part was not available and the vehicle would need to be kept for 5 to 7 days. The contact would have to sign a waiver to release the vehicle. The dealer provided no accommodations for a loaner vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
When i was involved in a front impact collision the driver's airbag didn't inflate. The passenger side floorboard had smoke and gas coming from under the dash.
The service airbag warning light came on and took it into a dealership to figure out why (never been in an accident). The front passenger occupancy sensor is malfunctioning. This would mean in an accident, the airbags would not be deployed because the sensor isn't able to detect if there is a passenger there or not.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 40 mph, another vehicle crashed head on into the contact's vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained severe whiplash and a concussion, which required medical attention. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and sent an engineer to inspect the vehicle. Shortly after, while driving at an unknown speed, the stabilitrac warning light illuminated and the power steering malfunctioned. The steering wheel jerked violently. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that all the steering electronic sensors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 19,000.
I had made a appointment to get the recalls resolved at the dealership and i made appointment and everything and they call to confirm thru out the week and then when i showed up they said they couldnā€™t fix it cause it was a branded title and they didnā€™t even offer me any other way of fixing it .
I was in a accident i got t bone my air bag didn't deploy having to go to hospital to have surgery.*dt
Airbag needs service warning indicator keeps popping up.every 30 seconds or so.i have to keep hitting 'dismiss'.
I took my truck in to the local gmc dealership for the recall fix and they ask if i wanted a diagnosis on the truck for a charge . I said yes cause i had a check engine light on and service air bag light on. Which they both came on a week after i bought it. So the service advisor told me that the belt tensioner is out on the drivers side and that the wiring under the drivers seat is messed up. And they told me some other things that were wrong with my truck that i have since found out were false. But i asked him if the seat belt and working issue is covered under a safety warranty. And he said no and to fix your truck it will be 5400 dollars. I have found out that there is a recall on these items and the recall number is 15522. So i would like to find out if i'm or the services advisor. Thanks
Takata recall - my complaint is to report the lack of timeliness of repair for a manufacturer recall:#2016020003.i have contacted the dealers several times and the parts for repair are not available from the manufacturer.i am concerned about the car's safety and lack of information available on when the parts will be available.
I temporarily had no control over the vehicle causing me to have an accident. While driving down a residential street approaching a stop sign intersection i merged into the center of st to pass a trashcan and in the process of returning to my correct position on the road i suddenly had no steering.panicking from the loss i pressed my brakes an attempt to bring vehicle to a stop but was unsuccessful because the tires began a slide once noticing the traction loss i proceeded to release brakes and reapply in hopes of gaining traction the brief relief from brakes caused the vehicle to regain traction and while i still have no control over steering, the vehicle jerks towards the right side of the road and the brakes being reapplied the vehicle continues to slide off pavement making contact with stop sign and telephone pole.

Traveling down road at 45 mph in a storm. A large tree blew down in front of mei hit brakes but pickup didn't not stop. I hit the tree as there was no place to go. The front bumper was knocked back app 4 inches wrapped the frame of truck. The air bag never deployed.this was a 2014 gmc bad lander edition. It stayed in shop in okc ok for 3 months at forguson dodge. I believe the airbags should have deployed and i have a hurt back now because i hit the roof in my seatbelt.
2014 gmc sierra.consumer writes in regards to driver airbag and pre-tensioner recall repair issues.when the consumer received a second recall notice, he called the dealer, where they informed him the work had already been performed.

The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle slowed and the abs, brake, check engine, and other indicators illuminated. The brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road and was later driven home. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the cause of the failure could not be diagnosed. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but did not respond. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 29,000.
The airbag and stabilitrack lights come on and off then the door bell rings,every 3 seconds sometimes for continues 15 to 25 times while driving,started at 13331 miles. The dealer refuses to fix unless i pay for it
The reverse lights are not working which is affecting the rear camera as well.
The vehicle was in motion and took a turn the dashboard chimed and showed a "service stabilitrak", and redcution in power steering, and hvac went off and came back on and i lost power steering. Everything flashed and flickered. Upon further assessment at my house stationary turning the wheel reactivated the problems and it was also noticed that the lights would flicker and go dim along with the dashboard lights. Looked up some recalls and saw some recalls on 2014 gmc sierra with loss in power steering, however my vehicle was not included in that. I have a brake recall that i will be servicing and hopefully that might solve this dangerous electrical problem.
The first time i was driving down the highway and i hit the brakes and the dic said service stabilitrak and a few other things and i lost control of steering and my cruise wouldn't work for a minute the second time i was driving down the road and i gases on it and the whole truck shutoff and back on but i lost control of the steering again then i turned in my driveway and lost all steering and all power and the truck died i had to turn the key 2 or 3 times and if finally started it lost all power it reset my clock and everything on my radio and dic
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the electronic power steering failed, which caused the steering wheel to jerk violently to the left when turning right. The dealer (wiers chevrolet cadillac gmc, 416 s halleck st, de motte, in 46310, (219) 987-5555) indicated that a software update would not provide a permanent remedy; therefore, the manufacturer approved the replacement of the electronic power steering assist. In addition, the vehicle failed to start and stalled several times without warning. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.
I am having problems with door chime and dome lights not shutting off with key in ignition on different occasions when door is closed. I also have the same with them not coming on when opening door on different occasions. It startedapprox. A month after purchasing and still happening now . It has not happened at the dealership yet and gm says they will not check into it unless a gm rep. Is a witness to it happening.
Stalbility control system suddenly went out when braking on dry surface. Vehicle engine was disabled causing temporary loss of control. The latest occurrence happened while traveling at listed speeds on interstate 75.i have safety oncerns.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the stabilitrak warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the steering indicator illuminated and the doors locked and unlocked independently. Eventually, the vehicle shut off and had to be restarted. On three occasions, the vehicle was taken to supreme chevrolet cadillac of plaquemine (23085 la-1, plaquemine, la 70764, (225) 238-1668) for routine maintaining. The dealer had to correct the power steering repair from a previous unknown recall. The failure occurred daily. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 81,445. The vin was invalid.*dt
Gauges flicker, headlights dim when hitting breaks, stability traction comes on, 4x4 has locked in. Truck has lost all power. Had to reset truck by removing battery cable from battery for a short period.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While the vehicle was in the park position, the four wheel drive service light illuminated without warning. The contact was unable to disable the four wheel drive. The vehicle was taken to be diagnosed by a dealer, but the issue recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 20,000.
On several occasions spanning multiple years the truck loses power while braking and turning at slow speeds. On more rare occasions, but still numerous, the same problem occurs when braking at higher speeds without turning. The truck dash lights, media screen and headlights all dim or flicker as a ticking or popping noise is heard behind the dash much like an arching electrical wire. Most of the time when these scenarios happen the display on the drivers display screen reads stabiltrak warning. Also when the problem occurs while turning and braking at low speeds the truck will completely lose power and power steering as well as assisted braking. Once the truck comes to a stop the ignition, and all electrical systems are completely unresponsive like the battery is dead. In order to start the truck again, i have to get out of the truck, open the engine hood and oscillate both the negative and positive battery cables. Most of the time the truck will start up after doing this. Sometimes i have to use booster cables to get it to start. Neither the cables or the terminal connectors are loose as they have been inspected by a dealer service tech and a local mechanic.
Driving vehicle at a low speed into a parking lot, when suddenly and without warning, it completely shut off. No power whatsoever, unable to put on hazard lights. Disconnected battery neutral and hot for about 10-15 min. Reconnected and it started back up. There was a dashboard message to roll driving window up and down. This has happened in the past, but only when starting, never while in drive and in forward motion! in the past i had it diagnosed for the no crank no start and for $400 i updated the bcm. Typically, with no crank no start, i would disconnect battery neutral for 10 minutes, reconnect and start up slowly, ie: turn ignition to on, wait 1 min then crank it to start. I have accepted the occasional no crank no start, but the idea that this happened in drive is unacceptable and incredibly dangerous!
Takata recall, the automatic locks keeps locking and unlocking on their own,whether it's parked or driving. Takata recall, the transmission shutters and rough shifting when slowing down or taking off,however the worst seems to be when slowing down
The headlights on this truck are unsafe, they do not project enough light ahead for safe driving at night. One has to depend on the street lighting or stars. I have come close to hits others on the roads for the lack of projection of these lights. The truck becomes a hazard on the highway do to the slow speed one has to travel to stay within the headlights. Please address this with gmc before someone is hurt or killed.
My truck lost all electrical power when i was at a stop light,, i was in drive but was at a stop light , it happened a second time after i shut it off came back and turned the key and there was no power i waited for 5 minutes and al of sudden electrical turned on
First instance: (this issue happened three times in one day before being able to be repaired) without warning the vehicle lost all power and the motor died while traveling at approx. 35mph for several seconds. When it powered back up everything was reset as if the battery had been disconnected. The dealership found a "loose ground wire" underneath the dashboard and attributed the occurrence to this. Second occurrence: (less than a month later and happened twice within a few minutes) while travelling on the expressway at approx. 70mph and again without warning the vehicle lost all power and the motor died for several seconds. When it powered back up everything was reset as if the battery had been disconnected. This happened again while exiting the highway just moments later at a more moderate speed, again with zero warning. Dealership now states the problem is with the positive battery terminal wire & harness.
My truck loses power steering when turning left and practically comes to a stop mid turn. It takes approx. 5 seconds to be able to continue through the turn. Stabilitrak notifications constantly alert on the dash for traction control, steering assist, etc and when doing slow maneuvering the a/c, stereo, and steering assist shutdown for a split second. Recall is open under n172085440 for 2 weeks now and i know other people experiencing these same safety steering issues waiting for the fix to be published for this recall. Please expedite the recall fix asap!!
When i turn the ignition to start the vehicle, it acts as if the battery is drained. Then there's a message that pops up briefly stating "stabilitrak". I'm concerned this is about to get much worse. The vehicle was stationary at the time of the message.
Was driving through a local parking lot, going only 3 miles an hour and started to turn left when all of a sudden the driver side wheel just snapped off throwing me into the steering wheel. My right arm got a scrape and right shoulder popped. The truck hit a metal pole and dented the driver side panel, missing the head light. So glad this didn't happen on the highway.
In the last 2 months my truck has lost all electric power while making a slow right turn. Voltage drops and i lose power steering. Dealership put a new battery despite there being an active recall for this exact issue. However, my vin number is not included in the recall. I was able to video it happening. It happens when the vehicle is in motion
This incident occurred 4-5 times over the last week driving between 25-40 mph. While driving, a warning or notification pops up on the dashboard screen stating stabilitrack off or steering assist off, which stiffens the steering wheel and i can't turn the truck at all. At one point, the notifications popped up and then my a/c went off and radio went off along with my entire vehicle. I had to slam on my brakes, place the vehicle in park, and then restart at which point it came back on and worked until i could pull over and assess what had occurred. I attempted to call gmc customer service (800-996-9463) and advise them of the problem and they acknowledged a recall (#17276 - loss of steering assist), but it didn't apply to my vin#. It only applied to 2014 models of both chevrolet silverado ld and gmc sierra ld vehicles, whereas my vehicle is a 2014 gmc sierra ltd. They advised that a gmc dealer could "reprogram the eps module software", but the cost would come out of my pocket and they wouldn't acknowledge any fault or recall issue. My concern is obviously the fact i have kids and transport them to and from school and sporting events. I couldn't even imagine this happening with children in the vehicle and causing an accident or worse injuries to passengers or the driver. This is a major safety issue, and i'm surprised this hasn't been addressed or acknowledged by gmc.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving the gear shifted into neutral inadvertently and caused the vehicle to abruptly accelerate. The contact also stated the vehicle consumed the engine oil prematurely and exhibited electrical failure with the windows opening and closing independently and the headlights failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failures however; the dealer advised there was nothing they could do to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified f the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.
After about 5-10 minutes of driving there was a 'burning plastic' smell and about 1-2 minutes after that a loud bang (almost like a gunshot)after pulling over, i looked around to find the left side of the back window was blown out. Long story short, i called the dealer to set up service and was told they performed the recall fix for this problem on my gmc.....i don't think it was either done or the fix didn't solve it.i can provide pictures tomorrow.....and i was driving down a city street and in motion - the street was not bumpy, in fact it was snow covered. I think this could have been a fire hazard judging by the horrific smell.
Written by my wife on 11/04/16:on 11/02/16 at approximately 2:45 pm i was driving slowly through a parking lot trying to find a space. I found a space and as i turned my wheel to the left it locked up roughly, jerking the steering wheel out of my hands as i pulled into the spot. After the steering wheel locked up, jerking very abruptly, the power surged and the truck died. This is probably the 30th time this has happened to me. This particular time there was no error message displayed this time. Usually i get a message which pops up on the instrument cluster forward of the steering wheel that says 'service stabiltrac' or 'action required, steering assist is reduced, drive with care.' it seems there is a steering malfunction because this issue usually occurs while making a turn but the truck has had this same error message while driving straight on the highway. I am unsure of what the problem is but i do know it is dangerous to drive this vehicle until the problem is resolved. Road conditions/weather conditions also play no part in when this malfunction takes place. Other pertinent information regarding this issue is that the headlights do flicker from time to time. We have been dealing with this issue since august of this year and have still not found a resolution.landmark chevrolet in taylorville, il has had our vehicle in the shop 4 times on this issue alone and put over 200 miles on our vehicle with no resolution. Friendly chevrolet in springfield il had our truck for nearly 3 weeks and put over 70 miles on the vehicle...no resolution.here are a couple videos we recorded and uploaded to youtube documenting the issue.taken on september 18th, 2016: taken on september 19th, 2016:[xxx]parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).' pm
My 2014 gmc sierra shuts off while driving on the interstate with my family. In some cases all electrical blinks and it continues to drive while temporarily losing power steering and other features and other times turning off completely until coming to a stop. The dealership wants ~$400 to do diagnostics on a g218 bolt that they were told by gmc that it is related to. This issue came from the factory this way. While not wanting to pay that for the diagnostic and researching myself, i found 100s of videos online similar to the one below which shows this issue happening to owners of the gmc trucks. When i spoke with gmc customer care about this, they told me that there were no recalls on the issue. There are going to be truck owners that lose their life along with any passengers if this issue is not taken care. I am very scare for our safety and the safety of countless others like the link below have posted about this known issue.https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/198500-2014-and-up-guys-with-funky-electrical-issues/
When turning the truck shuts off and the instrument panel and radio flickers off and on and the vehicle dies. Then says the stabilitrack comes on. Also did it when trying to pass a truck completely shut the vehicle off heard the tires sceech.the everything flicked and same thing with the stabillatrak.
During normal driving in town and on highway, stabillitrak deactivates, power steering assist deactivates and the steering becomes very difficult, airbags deactivate, turn signals become inoperable, radio shuts off, air conditioning shuts off. This happens while at speed on the highway and at slow speeds. It is especially dangerous when making slow turns as the power steering gives out and the truck instantly becomes nearly uncontrollable (uncontrollable for my wife) in the middle of the turn. I have taken the truck to the dealership and they said nothing is wrong and the best they could do was perform a service bulletin. Issue was not corrected. I found that there was a new bulletin that had a fix for the g218 ground. I cut back the sound deadening from the ground, yet that did not fix the issue either. The truck has done this dozens of times and is incredibly unsafe to drive. How can losing steering, airbags, stability control, turn signals, etc. Not be a safety concern?
Clock and outside air temp readings are so small, you can't see them, without taking your eyes off the road, long enough to bend over close to the radio. This is as bad as someone using a cell phone to send and receive text. I have driven off the road twice, but have not crashed yet. My gm dealer says, the readings can not be made larger, and to be very careful.
Truck has 73,000 miles on it. While driving at approximately 20 mph i applied the brake and had the stabili track warning go off, as well as radio and fan shut off. As i was making a slight left turn the steering wheel jerked out of my hand and locked up, leaving me with absolutely no control of the vehicle in the middle of traffic. The steering wheel would release , jerk and lock repeatedly, it happened about 4 times while trying to regain control. At the same time while applying the brake i had virtually no brakes to stop the vehicle. Looked for recalls and all i found were hundreds of similar complaints, but no solution or recalls. How is this not a recall, it's gross negligence... What if i was at highway speeds or towing my trailer at the time. Gm and nhtsa need to address this issue immediately before lives are lost. As for me, i'm in the process of getting rid of a vehicle that i've had for 3 months because of this and will not let my children ride in the vehicle. It's an intermittent problem, i'm just hoping the next time it doesn't happen at 65mph.
2014 gmc sierra currently with 45,000 miles. Vehicle spent 40+ days at dealership in 2016 for vibration while driving between 69-72 mph they could not fix during 6 different service visits.it was under 3 year/36k mile warranty at the time. Began at 22,000 miles. In nov. 2017 vehicle began losing power steering at speeds under 3 mph, especially in reverse.also service stabilitrak light has come on randomly at low speeds.problem was intermittent but is now becoming an almost daily occurrance. Afraid this will lead to an accident. Several close calls already.radio has also turned off on its on about 5 times in the last 60 days. It will not turn back on until vehicle is re-started. Related or unrelated, while driving at night and applying brake pedal i notice a 1/2 second dimming of headlights and dash lights before they return to normal brightness. Battery and alternator tested fine by dealership.dealership says vehicle vin is not subject to any recalls.dealership wants me to replace power steering gear for $2,500 which they "think" might fix the problem. Don't want to spend $2,500 without certainty it is the problem.
The truck will completely turn off, loss of electrical, power steering, braking - everything. First time was on highway30mph in traffic 2nd time highway going 45-50 in traffic & today in parking lot, turning in to droppoff lane an childs school. No stearing and hit the curb.
I was driving on the interstate and a message stating "service stabilitrack" message appears simultaneously with the check engine light and service traction control, the car loses the ability to accelerate and maintain speed. I kept driving because there was no safe place to stop, and after a few miles the door locks unlocked then locked, the info screen flashed and then the engine revved and appeared to drive normally.several miles later it happened again, over and over.when i reached my nieghborhood the car completely powered off.
I temporarily had no control over the vehicle causing me to have an accident. While driving down a residential street approaching a stop sign intersection i merged into the center of st to pass a trashcan and in the process of returning to my correct position on the road i suddenly had no steering.panicking from the loss i pressed my brakes an attempt to bring vehicle to a stop but was unsuccessful because the tires began a slide once noticing the traction loss i proceeded to release brakes and reapply in hopes of gaining traction the brief relief from brakes caused the vehicle to regain traction and while i still have no control over steering, the vehicle jerks towards the right side of the road and the brakes being reapplied the vehicle continues to slide off pavement making contact with stop sign and telephone pole.
Got a steering stability indication while driving across a bumpy strip on the highway.later, i would get the indicator, and when i did a hard turn, i.e. 90 degrees, the engine would die.the dealership isolated the problem to a broken gear in the electric power assist, and replaced the negative power cable on the battery. The cost of the repair would have been about $3600.00, but gm paid about 75%.it was recommended that i replace the negative cable every 50,000 miles by one of the technicians.another problem occurred about a year ago concerning the vapor recovery system.i got a check engine warning, took it to the dealer and found that the whole system was completely coated with fine dust.they replaced the vapor collection canister and associated tubes and filters at a cost of about $800.00.gm picked up about 50%.i later changed the location of the vapor collection tube from the (very dusty) wheel well, to under the hood where it was protected from the dust. I don't believe either of these problems to be lack of preventive maintenance, because neither appear to be able to be checked or appear on regular maintenance. The vehicle turned off while making a turn at slow speeds, and the warning light came on at driving speeds.relocating the intake on the vapor recovery system appears to have cured or delayed the onset of the problem. (i also remove and blow out the filter and the intake tube at least once a year.)
Owned truck for one year, bought used at dealership. Within 6 months, the service stablilitrack message popped up while on highway and power steering diminished. Cruise control would turn off when using the blinkers to change lanes. Put a new battery in and things worked well until yesterday when on the highway and the service stabilitrack message came back again when i used my turn signal to change lanes while using the cruise control. The cruise control also turned itself off. Went to park and the truck shut down for one second and seemed to reboot. It drove fine after that but scared the [xxx] out of me. Luckily no one was around. The headlights have also dimmed when pushing the brake pedal. I see there was a recall but i don't know if this truck had it fixed at that time or not. The website tells me there is only one open recall but for the brake system and this seems to be an electrical problem not brakes. I am contacting the dealership but i doubt they will have an answer and will want to charge me for something that appears, according to this site and others, to be a major issue for this vehicle model. *dlparts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The truck just shut off all electrical and dash controls as i went to turn into my driveway. Its done it to me twice so far in the last 3 weeks.. No brakes and no power steering.
Several times while driving and making turns the vehicle completely died and all electronics went black.this caused a complete loss of steering and control while turning across traffic.the steering wheel would shake and jerk in the opposite direction as well.once i came to a stop i would have to put it back in park and restart.i am very lucky that that there was no cross traffic in these moments, as this could have led to a major accident.the really frustrating part is that after i took it to the dealer they diagnosed and stated that it was a battery cable of some sort that was melting over the exhaust.this was published as a known problem within the company.however, not a recall or warranty (47,000 miles). How can a known design problem on a relatively new vehicle that causes a complete loss of control while driving not be a recall or safety violation of some sort? i hope this does not fall on deaf ears.thank you
In the past 4 months, beginning at about 52k miles, i started receiving messages on my truck that said "stability control" was out and it locks the front left wheel, losing all steering, the radio and then the truck goes completely dead.the ac goes on/off and the headlights flicker.this is always at low speeds between 5-10 mph and most commonly when making a turn.i had the battery replaced at the dealership and now they're telling me i need a negative battery cable replacement?
My truck meets the exact description outlined in gm recall #17276 resulting from nhtsa acknowledegement nef-150sm and 17v-414. Instead of re-constructing the description myself, i will just provide the language included in the recall notice because it is exactly the symptoms my truck experiences. I couldn't decribe it better if i tried. From gm recall notification n172085440"condition: general motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2014 model year chevrolet silverado ld and gmc sierra ld vehicles. These vehicles may experience a temporary loss of electric power steering (eps) assist followed by a sudden return of eps assist, particularly during low-speed turning maneuvers. The loss and sudden return of eps assist typically happens within a 1 second period and is caused by an electrical/software issue. If eps assist is lost and suddenly returned, the driver could lose temporary control of the steering wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.correction: dealers will reprogram the eps module software."
While tapping the brakes, the vehicle's headlights will dim.occasionally, while tapping the brakes, the entire dashboard (including the touchscreen) turn off and restart.on 6/18/18, while travelling on a highway at 40 miles an hour and approaching a red light, i applied the brakes and the entire car shut down, including thepower steering, power brakes, and engine.i had to place the car into neutral and turn it back on in order to brake in time.
I've always liked your gmc trucks but mostly been a ford owner so this december i bought a 2014 gmc sierra 1500 with 98,000 miles... Really love the truck but then start by having problems.. First my passenger window wouldn't roll down all the way ..got that fixed..then my rear drivers door lock don't work..and the big one my ac condenser has a leak ($1500 fix)which supposedly is a common problem with this vehicle..which i'm just so dissatisfied..i would really appreciated to have these problems fix for free!!! for i am regretting going gmc.
I have a 2014 gmc sierra, i started my truck to warm it up. I went inside and after a few minutes i went outside and my truck was engulfed in flames. Luckily i was not parked in the garage and nobody was in my truck. Itwas parked in my driveway at the time. I am unknown...however there is recall for electrical/computer problem for my 2014 sierra but my truck has not been part of this recall. My truck is totaled!
While passing a vehicle i lost all electrical power which in turn caused the vehicle to lose power. This same thing has happened several times at low speeds. I have the vehicle scheduled for july 2 to get looked at. The engined revved extremly high and it seemed like the transmission went into neutral. It then restarted. I had to roll the driver's window down and got a stabili trak light that came on after the incident.
While fixing an exhaust leak on this vehicle, the grounding cable that attaches to the engine block appeared to be chafed, partially crushed, and exposing some copper. The grounding cable runs down the firewall of the passenger side of the vehicle, runs briefly along the frame rail, and passes underneath the exhaust manifold. There is a potential for the cable to not properly ground over time, causing unknown issues.the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer or dealer as this vehicle is outside of bumper-to-bumper warranty. A support case was opened with gm, but as an individual, they will not allow me to report the issue with pictures. They require the dealer to be the reporter.
Intermittently getting "service stabilitrak" "electronic steering assist power reduced" messages while turning left at speeds 30mph or less. Each time i receive this message the steering wheel becomes very hard to turn and jerks. Several times the vehicle has died but restarted itself. On 2 occasions ( thankfully in a parking lot away from traffic) the vehicle died after these messages and would not restart, no systems would respond to turning the key for several cycles. Both times this has happened i also received an anti-theft message as well. I know there is a recall issued for this but gm is not listing my vin as an affected vehicle. This is a potentially life threatening issue and needs to be corrected
2014 gmc sierra 1500 4wd ~75k miles. Sometimes when i roll up my windows or use my blinker and it shuts off cruise control (hwy). And sometimes when i hit my breaks my headlights will dim (hwy, city streets, parking lots). When i'm turning slowly (in parking lots) the steeling will occasionally lock up and once it lost power entirely. My battery was tested at bigo and said it was fine. I've seen this online a lot for this truck and similar years, but no one seems to have a resolution. With so many incidents i'm shocked they don't have a fix or any idea what is wrong.
Headlights are weak.
My vehicle turned completely off and it put my breaks to the floor at 26 mph. My steering locked also as if i turned it off. Prior to this happening 3 months my steering column has a popping feeling. Not noise. Feeling. When i took it to the shop, they read the code and it said something along the lines of communication error. Dealership couldn't find anything wrong, took apart steering column nothing was loose and popping stopped also had battery replaced 7 months prior and no bad connections. Received my truck back, was good until a week ago the popping feeling, is back.
While driving my vehicle turns off, stability control comes on and offf on the dic also the drive assist goes off this is very dangerous then is when it looses power
While tapping the brakes, the vehicle's headlights will dim occasionally. 2 times now while tapping the brakes, the entire dashboard (including the touchscreen) turn off and restart. The first time was travelling on a highway and the second time was on my driveway, i applied the brakes and the entire car shut down, including the power steering, power brakes, and engine. That time i rolled out of my driveway and into the road. I was lucky no one was coming
Bought brand new 2014 gmc sierra 1500 , 622678 miles, air conditioning ac not blowing cold air, they said it's electrical and want us to pay over $200.00 to fix it.
Vehicle started having random electrical problems including dropping out of cruise when signaling a lane change, not starting due to antitheft system error, stabltrak error message, message to raise & lower drivers side window. Ultimately the engine, steering & brakes failed, fortunately at low speed, and we coasted to a stop after the truck ran over a curb. Our safety was at risk as we could have crashed into something. Others safety was at risk as we could have ended up in their vehicle path. The dealer replaced some ground wires, at great expense, and said that usually fixes it. Which tells me that this is a known problem. Can't believe that it isn't a safety recall!
"takata recall" driving truck down interstate and it just cutoff no steering no breaks all power shuts off. I wait till truck is stooped and try wigging key and make sure gearshift is in right position. After a few min lights come on the dash and the truck will start back up. It says in the notification area in dash let driver side window down and up again. This has happen twice and both times i was on a interstate almost hit by cars behind me. I was driving about 65 mph going straight most time it would do this if i change lanes.
Vehicle will lose power and shut off while driving, while in reverse i have had the steering wheel ripped out of my hands.random error messages on dic, random starting issues.taken to shop multiple times, they cannot find an issue.
All happened same day.was 8 hours from home and pulling into parking spot and the brakes went to the floor 3 times.has not occurred since.but when that happened the air started blowing warm and the service driver assist came on briefly.still air is blowing warm and the service driver assist comes on. Have never had a check engine light come on.i am having it checked out this week.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the four wheel drive gear was jammed when she attempted to start the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the failure was a software issue and the vehicle software needed to be updated. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact stated that the failure occurred on four separate occasions after the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 9,000.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact entered the vehicle and noticed smoke coming from the center console and heard an abnormal noise. The contact poured water onto the center console to extinguish the fire. The contact stated that the center and top consoles and front passenger seat were melted. There were no warning indicators illuminated. Police and fire reports were not filed.

On making a turn at low speed, my enginehas cut out completely. I had full loss of acceleration, power steering ,ac, radio. I put the truck in neutral and restart the engine to get to safety. This has occurred 3 times in the last 20 days.twice in city traffic, once on the highway, turning off for gas. The "service steering assist" light appeared. I took the truck for a full diagnostic at a local electric repair shop, for $170.00. The tech found nothing after hooking my truck to his computer. The day i retrieved my truck from the electrical shop, i stopped in walmart for groceries. My key fob would not lock or unlock my doors. I manually unlocked the truck to determine that the truck would not start at all. No panel/ interior lights, no response in ignition,no automatic unlocking, the truck was completely dead. Roadside service came to tow it, and the truck was jumpstarted from his battery pack. The key fob began to work, unlocking,etc. I towed the truck home.i have vin checked my truck and there are none but i believe my vehicular failure refers to gm part 573 safety recall 17v-414 regarding the loss of eps. A secondary recall which may apply is gm# 14v26000 re steering linkages, tie rod assembly.as the "steer assist' alert was what i saw. I have the work invoice from the electrical shop, if needed.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 25 mph, the stabilitrak and anti-theft warning indicators illuminated and the power seized. The vehicle restarted independently; however, the failure recurred several times. The contact notified sellers gmc (located at 38000 grand river ave, farmington hills, michigan) where an appointment was scheduled. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Driving 5 mph, error came on and truck shut off completely while still driving, i was able to start it, drove to my destination, about 10 miles away. Parked and turned off truck, came back, the truck was completely dead. Replaced the battery and was fine for a month. Yesterday while pulling up to destination on low gear going slow error showed up, the engine revved high then shut down completely. Eps recall and no dates to service yet.
For the past few weeks i have had a power problem on my truck. I have got in the truck and nothing was on and engine wouldn't crank. I would get out of my truck and wiggle the negative line on the battery and the truck would regain power. I cleaned off allcorrosion (not anything significant)that was on the connecter. Yesterday as i was taking a turn into my neighborhood the truck lost all power. I was able to cost into a safe spot on the side of the road. I then poped the hood and opened the door. When i opened the door the power came back on. I closed the door started the truck and headed to my house. I am having my truck towed to the nearest dealer. If this had happened to me on the highway or a main road it could have been catastrophic. I have doon some research and found a number of videos and forums on this subject and it seems to be on gm trucks from 2014-2017. I am not amechanic, but i work in it and am very good at reasearch and troubleshooting issues. My instinct is telling me it is the negative connection to the battery.
22014 sierra 1500 4x4 has total loss of power at low speeds including power steering, brakes, dashboard and all other electrical items. 6th event of this nature. Most recent was on a downtown street in brighton mi. Trying to make a left turn and the power steering failed and the truck stalled. This is dangerous because it almost caused an accident. After being able to restart the truck we parked in a parking lot and once again a full power failure. It was restarted after 5-10 minutes but we need help with this issue. And so do a lot of other truck owners from the compaints we have read.we have had this truck in for the stability track recall. The dayafter they serviced the recall the truck started the electrical issues.we took it back to feldman chevrolet but they just said to watch it. We are taking it back tomorrow. August 14, 2018.
From time to time the vehicles power system will surge, blink, and generally act up. The priblem is intermittent. The check engine light will come in then go off, the engine has completely cut off several times while driving, the transmission acts up, radio will turn off, 120v outlet will turn off, occasionally the vehicle will fun for 5-15 seconds after being turned off and then sputter off. And 95% of the time the truck is absolutely fine.

Driving at low speeds in rush hour traffic and "degraded steering" warning with chime sounded.cleared itself and then chimed again with same warning about three minutes later.this was followed by stabilitrack warning and red brake warning.steering was somewhat harder to turn but was still being assisted.there didn't appear to be any degradation to braking.maybe the anti-lock system?the a/c then turned off and the radio volume went silent.the stabilitrack switch, a/c controls and radio controls were all ineffective.i noticed the amp gauge was below 12 as it seemed as if the truck electrical system was underpowered.i drove ten miles home and all systems reset by turning truck off and starting it up again.this is first time this has happened.truck has 66k miles on it.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the vent control function failed to operate properly for the air conditioner and hot air was blowing out of the vents.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mielage was 55,000.
The engine shuts off and it looses all power randomly when turning , it is noow started to shut off in traffic when lightly tapping the brakes..
Truck has stopped on random occasions since purchased in july 2017. Been to two different dealers who have yet to diagnose issue. Simply loss of steering and electrical power. Each time it goes to dealer ,they cannot replicate error. Could be related to recall n172085440 but not sure at this point. Havea video of last instance of issue on august 5, 2017 but unable to load.

Power steering light and stabilitrack light coming on when coming to a slow stop. Lights will not stay on long enough to throw a code to read. A/c, radio, dash all shuts down when these codes throw.
I had made a appointment to get the recalls resolved at the dealership and i made appointment and everything and they call to confirm thru out the week and then when i showed up they said they couldnā€™t fix it cause it was a branded title and they didnā€™t even offer me any other way of fixing it .
When i am slowing down to turn as i turn the steering wheel i loose power to my instrument panel and my a/c and radio turns off for a second and then comes back on
Driving on highway and also at low speed, truck completely shuts down electrically.steering fails, instrumentation fails, doors lock, complete power failure.this has occurred backing out of driveways, turning into intersections.brought truck to dealer,they can't find anything, but g218 ground issue appears to be obvious yet, they refuse to fix unless issue is present.
Slowing down to park on a street and lost steering and lights flickering, i just had recall reprogrammed &serviced 60 days ago, driver assist service lights also on and parking.i nearly crashed twice so far i need my vehicle for transportation and would like help with this immediately ,for it is a pricey luxuriousvehicle.
When truck is at low rpm (usually turning into parking spot slowly) truck will shut off. Its pulling to much power from cpu or alternator and killing truck. This is a safety issue.
Turning at slow speeds the engine, and electronic shut of and on jerking the steering wheel out of my hands very erraticly and finally shuts off in the road.in a few minutes it will fire back up.i'm scared to dtive it! its not safe for anyone!
During driving, the stability sensors would go off and show up stating stability turned off, or power steering turned off. The voltage on vehicle would suddenly drop from 15 to 9 and then back up. This will usually turn off the interior lights and electronics. I have discussed this with other 2014 sierra and silverado owners and they all advised this was occuring on their vehicles. There is a ground wire that was not properly installed under the dash which causes high resistance material to cause electrical issues. During one of my drives to work going 60 mph, the electrical components shut off and caused the engine to stop running. I was able to pull over while coasting on no power and restart the vehicle and it would continue to go. There have been times where the steering wheel would jerk while stationary as well. After many forum discussion this all related back to the ground wire not being properly installed by the manufacturer.
Defective headlights. Very poor visibility when driving after sundown. Unsafe to drive my truck at night. $42,000 and dealer has no fix. Also no responsefrom gm. Have appointment to see my attorney.
I was driving down the road and all of the sudden it was if my transmission disengaged and my car lost power. It then automatically came back on and the 'service stabilitrak' lights came on. I nearly avoided an accident and was able to pull off onto the side of the road.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 65 mph, the service stabilitrac warning indicator illuminated, the door locks activated independently, and the power steering failed. Additionally, the vehicle independently turned off and on within a few seconds. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 88,124.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated while driving the vehicle, the steering wheel would violently shake and vibrate before the vehicle shut-off. Later the vehicle was restarted and operated as normal. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure.the failure mileage was 30,000.
The truck shuts off while driving which disables the power steering, engine and power braking. The electrical systems seems to reboot and turn back on after a second or two. This also happens occasionally while driving at slower speeds and turning the steering wheel or after hitting the turn signal. I have had the entire electrical system and engine shut off while doing 50mph on the high just because i turned my turn signal on. This happens every 4 weeks or so. You can tell it is about to happen when the headlights start deeming when tapping the brakes or using the turn signal. It usually happens when the truck is in motion. It has happened in all temperatures. After it happens the console states "stablitrak is disabled".

When i am driving at low speeds and i turn my steering wheel my wheel locks up and i am unable to turn by vehicle. When i am driving on the highway my display system goes in and out.
I am recieving stabilatrac , abs, powersteering, errors. My wipers will only work if i hit my brakes. The cruise control doesn't work anymore.
This issue is related to stabilitrak, the onboard computing system. When on the interstate, loss of power can occur. Usually at high speeds, the power just 'flickers' on and off, some times repeatedly. The breaking mechanism seems to be somewhat affected by this. At slower speeds, the same problem can occur, but the steering wheel locks up and forces my truck to turn hard to the left. Each time the problem occurs, "stabilitrak error" and "loss of traction control" or something along the lines of "loss of power, danger" will appear -- although, it is usually just something relating to "stabilitrak". I've nearly been in an accident ~3 times. It's no question a danger to the driver and to pedestrians. Gm has been getting sued like crazy, and it's pretty clear they are avoiding this issue because of this.
Drivers side door actuator is going out which makes it to where you have to pull on the handle twice in order to exit the vehicle and to unlock the vehicle.
When you push on the break the vehicleā€™s power shuts down. Yes it is available for inspection upon request. When steering wheel is turned it dies. After this happens stabilizer light comes on and power steering assist comes on. No inspection has been done called dealership and they said the recall from 2014 had already been done. This is a very serious issue when driving in traffic and i do not want to be in or cause an accident
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 20 mph, the steering wheel seized and veered independently. In addition, several unknown warning indicators illuminated. The contact was able to regain control after depressing the brake pedal.

The airbag and stabilitrack lights come on and off then the door bell rings,every 3 seconds sometimes for continues 15 to 25 times while driving,started at 13331 miles. The dealer refuses to fix unless i pay for it
On or about 4 april, 2017 i experienced an alarm while driving my 2014 gmc sierra.while traveling between conroe tx and plano tx, i received a warningsteering stability.the alarm cleared so i checked my owners manual and it said to take it to a dealer if it didn't clear.i used onstar and had a diagnosis done on the truck.they reported no problems. The next day the truck shut down, in the middle of making a u turn.my daughter thought she had knocked it out of gear but couldn't get it to start until she turned it off and back on.the same thing happened again (this time to my wife) turning into a parking lot.she took it to a gmcdealer to have it checked out.they found a broken gear in the electronic power assist assembly. We heard that our vehicle had a recall # 17276, for problem with the steering.i then took it to the dealerwhere i bought the truck and had the computer updated to prevent the problem.i then ask for a reimbursementfor having to have the steering module and negative battery cable replaced.i contend that, at the time, the cause of the steering problem causing the truck to die.when i ask a technician at mckinney if the recall was for the problem, he said:no that is just to change an error in the computer. Back in april, the only thing they could do to possibly prevent the stalling was to look forsomething like a power problem.before i took the truck in i had no indication of power problems and i was never told how the negative battery cable went bad, only that it happens and the truck was out of the 36 mo warranty.i checked on the internet to see if anyone else was having the problem and what the solution to it was?i saw several people were having the problem, but nobody knew what exactly caused it.the consumer requested to be fully reimbursed for the repairs made referencing the recall #17276.
When driving recently, my check engine light started flashing along with my stabilitrak light coming on. The vehicle started vibrating. The vibrating was especially rough while idle. The vibration was also rough while in lower gears and while braking. When brought in for service i was told it was a corroded ignition coil. This is the second time this has happened. I bought the vehicle new and it currently has about 37,000 miles on it.
Slowing down to park on a street and lost steering and lights flickering, i just had recall reprogrammed &serviced 60 days ago, driver assist service lights also on and parking.i nearly crashed twice so far i need my vehicle for transportation and would like help with this immediately ,for it is a pricey luxuriousvehicle.
The truck will completely turn off, loss of electrical, power steering, braking - everything. First time was on highway30mph in traffic 2nd time highway going 45-50 in traffic & today in parking lot, turning in to droppoff lane an childs school. No stearing and hit the curb.
Was making a right hand turn onto on-ramp, vehicle's brake lights on dash all came on, radio station changed channels and engine hesitated. Warning lights on dash went out, radio stayed on switched channel, engine returned to normal, but service stability track information came up on panel. Service warning went off in about 300 yards, vehicle returned to normal operation.
Written by my wife on 11/04/16:on 11/02/16 at approximately 2:45 pm i was driving slowly through a parking lot trying to find a space. I found a space and as i turned my wheel to the left it locked up roughly, jerking the steering wheel out of my hands as i pulled into the spot. After the steering wheel locked up, jerking very abruptly, the power surged and the truck died. This is probably the 30th time this has happened to me. This particular time there was no error message displayed this time. Usually i get a message which pops up on the instrument cluster forward of the steering wheel that says 'service stabiltrac' or 'action required, steering assist is reduced, drive with care.' it seems there is a steering malfunction because this issue usually occurs while making a turn but the truck has had this same error message while driving straight on the highway. I am unsure of what the problem is but i do know it is dangerous to drive this vehicle until the problem is resolved. Road conditions/weather conditions also play no part in when this malfunction takes place. Other pertinent information regarding this issue is that the headlights do flicker from time to time. We have been dealing with this issue since august of this year and have still not found a resolution.landmark chevrolet in taylorville, il has had our vehicle in the shop 4 times on this issue alone and put over 200 miles on our vehicle with no resolution. Friendly chevrolet in springfield il had our truck for nearly 3 weeks and put over 70 miles on the vehicle...no resolution.here are a couple videos we recorded and uploaded to youtube documenting the issue.taken on september 18th, 2016: taken on september 19th, 2016:[xxx]parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).' pm
While driving the vehicle is losing power in the steering wheel, prompting the stabilitrac warning light to come on. This happens while driving at any speed, while turning and while going in reverse
I temporarily had no control over the vehicle causing me to have an accident. While driving down a residential street approaching a stop sign intersection i merged into the center of st to pass a trashcan and in the process of returning to my correct position on the road i suddenly had no steering.panicking from the loss i pressed my brakes an attempt to bring vehicle to a stop but was unsuccessful because the tires began a slide once noticing the traction loss i proceeded to release brakes and reapply in hopes of gaining traction the brief relief from brakes caused the vehicle to regain traction and while i still have no control over steering, the vehicle jerks towards the right side of the road and the brakes being reapplied the vehicle continues to slide off pavement making contact with stop sign and telephone pole.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled and the stabilitrak warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the steering wheel and brakes seized. The contact powered off the engine while in traffic. The vehicle was restarted and drove normally. The contact stated that the failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to covert buick gmc (located at 11750 research blvd, austin, tx 78759, (512) 583-3411) where diagnostic testing was completed, but no failure code was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.
Intermittent stalling, ( complete shut down at freeway speeds). No engine, no power steering or brakes, windows will not operate, no emergency flashers, no dash re-out,will not turn over. Happens at any time while in motion. Has placed myself, my wife & other drivers in danger numerous times.
My truck.was.fixed.once for the sterring and is still.cutting out its.so.bad that its shutting the hole truck down.in the.middle.of the road an.on the highway or when u go to speed up it cuts out n the streen comes tight
Stalbility control system suddenly went out when braking on dry surface. Vehicle engine was disabled causing temporary loss of control. The latest occurrence happened while traveling at listed speeds on interstate 75.i have safety oncerns.
Takata recall, parking assist sensors quit working. Abs lights stay on with the alert "service stabilitrak". Manufacture faulty electrical ground is possibly the source of the problem. My truck is not even 5 years old yet. There have already been a lot of reports of this same issue by other owners.this is a safety problem that can cause collisions when depending on this feature to work.
This incident occurred 4-5 times over the last week driving between 25-40 mph. While driving, a warning or notification pops up on the dashboard screen stating stabilitrack off or steering assist off, which stiffens the steering wheel and i can't turn the truck at all. At one point, the notifications popped up and then my a/c went off and radio went off along with my entire vehicle. I had to slam on my brakes, place the vehicle in park, and then restart at which point it came back on and worked until i could pull over and assess what had occurred. I attempted to call gmc customer service (800-996-9463) and advise them of the problem and they acknowledged a recall (#17276 - loss of steering assist), but it didn't apply to my vin#. It only applied to 2014 models of both chevrolet silverado ld and gmc sierra ld vehicles, whereas my vehicle is a 2014 gmc sierra ltd. They advised that a gmc dealer could "reprogram the eps module software", but the cost would come out of my pocket and they wouldn't acknowledge any fault or recall issue. My concern is obviously the fact i have kids and transport them to and from school and sporting events. I couldn't even imagine this happening with children in the vehicle and causing an accident or worse injuries to passengers or the driver. This is a major safety issue, and i'm surprised this hasn't been addressed or acknowledged by gmc.
The vehicle was in motion and took a turn the dashboard chimed and showed a "service stabilitrak", and redcution in power steering, and hvac went off and came back on and i lost power steering. Everything flashed and flickered. Upon further assessment at my house stationary turning the wheel reactivated the problems and it was also noticed that the lights would flicker and go dim along with the dashboard lights. Looked up some recalls and saw some recalls on 2014 gmc sierra with loss in power steering, however my vehicle was not included in that. I have a brake recall that i will be servicing and hopefully that might solve this dangerous electrical problem.
The truck dies at any moment. Stability track system warning pops up in the little screen and the steering wheel is blocked when this happen. After these to things happens the truck shut down. Sometimes, after a few minutes the truck comes back to normal. This has happened to me for like 10 times in a period of like 15 months. I have taken to the dealer like 6 times and they haven't found the problem. They have change some wires from the battery. They have reprogram the software and nothing i still have the same problem. The truck dies at any moment. All of this happen when i am driving the truck most of the times at low speed and while turning to the left or right except like two times that occurred while i was driving in the highway. The mechanics in the dealer have done all kind of diagnostic that they have but they could not duplicated the problem so the answer that i get every time is that every is fine and that they couldn't duplicated the problem.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled with the stabili-trac warning light illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several minutes or after moving several wires located near the battery. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 129,000.*as
All happened same day.was 8 hours from home and pulling into parking spot and the brakes went to the floor 3 times.has not occurred since.but when that happened the air started blowing warm and the service driver assist came on briefly.still air is blowing warm and the service driver assist comes on. Have never had a check engine light come on.i am having it checked out this week.
While driving my vehicle turns off, stability control comes on and offf on the dic also the drive assist goes off this is very dangerous then is when it looses power
I am recieving stabilatrac , abs, powersteering, errors. My wipers will only work if i hit my brakes. The cruise control doesn't work anymore.
Was driving down the highway at highway speeds rolled the passenger window up the stereo cut off the gauges cut out and the wipers wipes in one time. Then a message stating stabilitrak needed to be serviced and electronic power steering was out
Truck has stopped on random occasions since purchased in july 2017. Been to two different dealers who have yet to diagnose issue. Simply loss of steering and electrical power. Each time it goes to dealer ,they cannot replicate error. Could be related to recall n172085440 but not sure at this point. Havea video of last instance of issue on august 5, 2017 but unable to load.
In the past 4 months, beginning at about 52k miles, i started receiving messages on my truck that said "stability control" was out and it locks the front left wheel, losing all steering, the radio and then the truck goes completely dead.the ac goes on/off and the headlights flicker.this is always at low speeds between 5-10 mph and most commonly when making a turn.i had the battery replaced at the dealership and now they're telling me i need a negative battery cable replacement?
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering ceased intermittently,while the stability track control and steering reduce power warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to cambe chevrolet buick 704 s heaton st, knox, in 46534, (574)207-4109, to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The battery was replaced and the electronic power steering module software was updated however, the failure recurred. The nhtsa campaign number: 19v761000 (electronic stability control, service brakes, hydraulic, service brakes) and nhtsa campaign number: 17v414000(steering) were referenced as a possible solution to the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.
We had the vehicle recall notice about the stability and power assist repaired at our preferred gm dealership, james wood, before the problem occurred because of a recall notice we received last year.sunday, january 30, 2018 the dash displayed power assist limited and also displayed abs light . Service engine soon, so we brought it to the dealership again.this time the vehicle was revving high but no display. The dealership observed the vehicle doing this but we were told the recall had already been performed.there is a revised product safety recall reference number n172085440.i'm alerting the nhtsa of this.
The gmc sierra truck will loose power steering while it is being driven.this has occurred three times so far.there appears to be some type of electrical error with the trailer brake.then, numerous warning lights come on and the truck looses power steering.it is dangerous and difficult to drive at that point.it is random.the truck will connect again and everything will function like normal.the truck was taken to a gm dealership and they said there was communication errors.the fuse block was replaced for almost 600 dollars.then, the vehicle did the same thing again after that repair.i took it back to the same dealer.the vehicle was at their shop for 8 days.they were unable to get the error so no repairs were made.i have contacted gm corp on three occasions.the senior advisor assigned to my case has not ever contacted me about the issue.they advised that someone with gm would contact me in 2 days.it has been over 8 days.picking the vehicle back up from the dealer.this is a safety hazard.i feel that the gm engineers have knowledge about these issues but no one will even call me back.there is some electrical glitch that can cause the vehicle to loose its power steering.research shows that 690,000 trucks were recalled in 2017 in reference to recall # 17276. The dealership advised that my truck received the necessary items for that in 2017.i don't know what to do.i currently have a truck that is not safe and gm doesn't seem to be concerned about it.it is a safety hazard.i'm sure other truck owners have had similar issues.i do not want someone to be injured or killed because gm will not step up and handle this issue.i lost power steering on may 14th, 15th and 23rd 2019.
During normal driving in town and on highway, stabillitrak deactivates, power steering assist deactivates and the steering becomes very difficult, airbags deactivate, turn signals become inoperable, radio shuts off, air conditioning shuts off. This happens while at speed on the highway and at slow speeds. It is especially dangerous when making slow turns as the power steering gives out and the truck instantly becomes nearly uncontrollable (uncontrollable for my wife) in the middle of the turn. I have taken the truck to the dealership and they said nothing is wrong and the best they could do was perform a service bulletin. Issue was not corrected. I found that there was a new bulletin that had a fix for the g218 ground. I cut back the sound deadening from the ground, yet that did not fix the issue either. The truck has done this dozens of times and is incredibly unsafe to drive. How can losing steering, airbags, stability control, turn signals, etc. Not be a safety concern?
When i am making left turns my stabilitrak warning goes off and locks up my steering wheel and won't allow me to turn and jerks the wheel which has caused a dislocated thumb and jammed fingers, it also powers down my entire electrical system. I have had several close calls with some serious accidents. I have almost been t-boned several times due to it powering down and not being able to turn. I have called the gm dealership and they said there is nothing we can do about this and they are aware of the recall. It's going to be a hefty lawsuit on their hands when someone is seriously hurt or dies because their steering wheel locks up. Early june is when i started noticing this issue and it has only been getting worse!
The first time i was driving down the highway and i hit the brakes and the dic said service stabilitrak and a few other things and i lost control of steering and my cruise wouldn't work for a minute the second time i was driving down the road and i gases on it and the whole truck shutoff and back on but i lost control of the steering again then i turned in my driveway and lost all steering and all power and the truck died i had to turn the key 2 or 3 times and if finally started it lost all power it reset my clock and everything on my radio and dic
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 65 mph, the service stabilitrac warning indicator illuminated, the door locks activated independently, and the power steering failed. Additionally, the vehicle independently turned off and on within a few seconds. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 88,124.
When i turn the ignition to start the vehicle, it acts as if the battery is drained. Then there's a message that pops up briefly stating "stabilitrak". I'm concerned this is about to get much worse. The vehicle was stationary at the time of the message.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving various speeds, the steering seized and the stability warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to classic buick gmc arlington (1400 e interstate 20, arlington, tx 76018, 817-264-7782) where it was diagnosed that there was a failure with the stability of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 45 mph, the steering wheel locked and the stabilitrack warning indicator illuminated. The contact had to stop in the middle of the road. The vehicle was turned off and restarted normally. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
Gauges flicker, headlights dim when hitting breaks, stability traction comes on, 4x4 has locked in. Truck has lost all power. Had to reset truck by removing battery cable from battery for a short period.
When i am slowing down to turn as i turn the steering wheel i loose power to my instrument panel and my a/c and radio turns off for a second and then comes back on
While driving and making a low speed turn the power steering fails and the vehicle shuts off and all doors are locked no power at all for about 40 seconds. Then it comes back and a code comes up to roll drivers side window down and than up again and it resets this has happened 5 times in the last three weeks 3 times on the street and 2 times while turning into shopping malls just purchased vehicle a bout a year ago the dealership wants 100 dollars just to look at it its a gmc sierra 1500 2014 please help i have read this is a problem afraid to drive vehicle for fear of getting into an accident because you can not access the hazard lights .
Driving on highway and also at low speed, truck completely shuts down electrically.steering fails, instrumentation fails, doors lock, complete power failure.this has occurred backing out of driveways, turning into intersections.brought truck to dealer,they can't find anything, but g218 ground issue appears to be obvious yet, they refuse to fix unless issue is present.
My 2014 gmc sierra shuts off while driving on the interstate with my family. In some cases all electrical blinks and it continues to drive while temporarily losing power steering and other features and other times turning off completely until coming to a stop. The dealership wants ~$400 to do diagnostics on a g218 bolt that they were told by gmc that it is related to. This issue came from the factory this way. While not wanting to pay that for the diagnostic and researching myself, i found 100s of videos online similar to the one below which shows this issue happening to owners of the gmc trucks. When i spoke with gmc customer care about this, they told me that there were no recalls on the issue. There are going to be truck owners that lose their life along with any passengers if this issue is not taken care. I am very scare for our safety and the safety of countless others like the link below have posted about this known issue.https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/198500-2014-and-up-guys-with-funky-electrical-issues/
Driving at low speeds in rush hour traffic and "degraded steering" warning with chime sounded.cleared itself and then chimed again with same warning about three minutes later.this was followed by stabilitrack warning and red brake warning.steering was somewhat harder to turn but was still being assisted.there didn't appear to be any degradation to braking.maybe the anti-lock system?the a/c then turned off and the radio volume went silent.the stabilitrack switch, a/c controls and radio controls were all ineffective.i noticed the amp gauge was below 12 as it seemed as if the truck electrical system was underpowered.i drove ten miles home and all systems reset by turning truck off and starting it up again.this is first time this has happened.truck has 66k miles on it.
The problem started while backing a trailer and turning. The stabiltrack light came on and the steering wheel jerked out of my hand. It happened a few more times and then the truck died. Later while driving the stabilitrack light would flash on and the dic would go black. The a.c. Would also go out and come back on. It would also do this when turning on the signal light or stepping on the brake pedal. I was in a parking lot today driving slowly and the st message came then the dic went black again. When i tried to turn the wheel it started jerking back and pulled out of my hand. It seems that shutting the truck off and restarting solves the problem for a day or two. This is a very unsafe issue and i have seen and read many complaints. I have been a huge fan of gm and all i have ever owned were gm vehicles, but this issue is making me wonder if i should have bought a ford instead.it seems that gm is not worried about recalling because of this safety issue, which there are many complaining of the same thing,and my warranty is about to run out.
When driving the truck after extended periods of time (i.e. 1 hour or more) the vehicle will flash a stabilitrak warning and then power the vehicle off. This happened while my son, girlfriend and i were on a trip to florida driving 70 mph down the interstate. I took to a dealer and they informed me that the battery cables were loose. 4,000 miles the truck has done this episode again and the dealer now tells me that i need to replace the electronic rack and pinion on a truck with 65k miles with a cost of over $3k. There are numerous examples of this happening with trucks just like mine and gm isn't responsible? hard to fathom that in the 5 vehicles i have owned, not once have i had to replace a rack and pinion and the newest vehicle that i have every owned has this issue.
Steering wheel springs/snaps (hard) in the opposite direction that the wheel is being turned and steering control is lost. When this does not shut the engine off, the only way to regain steering control is to restart the vehicle. When this does cause the engine to shut off the steering is restored with the restart.the stabili trak indicator appears just for an instant on the dic when this happens. Note: this is not the 'service stabili trak' indicator but more like stabili trak has been activated indicator. This happened first in reverse while backing into a parking spot. (three times in reverse). Then it started happening in drive, twice while pulling out from a stop sign and once while doing 15-20 mph turning onto a side street. The 15-20 mph turning instance caused the engine to shut off, steering became non existent for an instant and then very very heavy. I crossed the other lane of traffic and almost landed in the ditch. The truck has been at the dealership twice for a total of 14 days, both times 'cannot duplicate' was the result. No codes are being generated from these instances. Cause is unknown. Loose voltage or high resistance to grounds maybe. This has happened in hot and cold weather, running ac or heater or neither. There is no pattern. Please help.
The vacuum assist pump on my 2014 gmc sierra went out suddenly during my morning commute. The brake pedal became very firm and the brakes were unresponsive.if i had been driving in an congested area an accident would likely occur.
Truck has 73,000 miles on it. While driving at approximately 20 mph i applied the brake and had the stabili track warning go off, as well as radio and fan shut off. As i was making a slight left turn the steering wheel jerked out of my hand and locked up, leaving me with absolutely no control of the vehicle in the middle of traffic. The steering wheel would release , jerk and lock repeatedly, it happened about 4 times while trying to regain control. At the same time while applying the brake i had virtually no brakes to stop the vehicle. Looked for recalls and all i found were hundreds of similar complaints, but no solution or recalls. How is this not a recall, it's gross negligence... What if i was at highway speeds or towing my trailer at the time. Gm and nhtsa need to address this issue immediately before lives are lost. As for me, i'm in the process of getting rid of a vehicle that i've had for 3 months because of this and will not let my children ride in the vehicle. It's an intermittent problem, i'm just hoping the next time it doesn't happen at 65mph.
During normal driving in town and on highway, stabillitrak deactivated and power steering assist deactivated flashes on dash. The air conditioner and radio flash off. Lose power steering. The whole truck shut off also once while reversing, went from park to reverse and shut off. This had been very dangerous, as it happened also while going 70 mph on the highway.
**beware** i own a 2014 gmc sierra denali that abruptly shuts off on me while driving with no warning. I took in into the delearship and they stated that they fixed it. About a little over a year later it started acting up again off and on. I didnt want to deal with the dealership because they always say "it is not covered under warranty" although it only got worse. I ended up taking it back to the delearship recently because it got to the point where my truck was shutting off on me every day in the middle of the road. This was an accident waiting to happen! the dealership after over one week finally found that it is an electrical harness issue, sending the wrong signals causing my truck to abruptly shut off. They are charging me over $900. This should be a recall! how in the world is this not covered through gmc! i will never purchase a gmc vehicle again.
This issue is related to stabilitrak, the onboard computing system. When on the interstate, loss of power can occur. Usually at high speeds, the power just 'flickers' on and off, some times repeatedly. The breaking mechanism seems to be somewhat affected by this. At slower speeds, the same problem can occur, but the steering wheel locks up and forces my truck to turn hard to the left. Each time the problem occurs, "stabilitrak error" and "loss of traction control" or something along the lines of "loss of power, danger" will appear -- although, it is usually just something relating to "stabilitrak". I've nearly been in an accident ~3 times. It's no question a danger to the driver and to pedestrians. Gm has been getting sued like crazy, and it's pretty clear they are avoiding this issue because of this.
My truck loses power steering when turning left and practically comes to a stop mid turn. It takes approx. 5 seconds to be able to continue through the turn. Stabilitrak notifications constantly alert on the dash for traction control, steering assist, etc and when doing slow maneuvering the a/c, stereo, and steering assist shutdown for a split second. Recall is open under n172085440 for 2 weeks now and i know other people experiencing these same safety steering issues waiting for the fix to be published for this recall. Please expedite the recall fix asap!!
Twice while turning right at a moderate speed the stabilitrac system took over and started counter-steering to the left while still moving around a right hand corner. Prior to this the stabilitrac warning was intermittently alarming at random. The vehicle also lost all power and the motor died at one point. Dealership thought it may be attributed to a loose ground wire that they had found underneath the dashboard.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 40 mph, another vehicle crashed head on into the contact's vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained severe whiplash and a concussion, which required medical attention. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and sent an engineer to inspect the vehicle. Shortly after, while driving at an unknown speed, the stabilitrac warning light illuminated and the power steering malfunctioned. The steering wheel jerked violently. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that all the steering electronic sensors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 19,000.
In the last 2 months my truck has lost all electric power while making a slow right turn. Voltage drops and i lose power steering. Dealership put a new battery despite there being an active recall for this exact issue. However, my vin number is not included in the recall. I was able to video it happening. It happens when the vehicle is in motion
When i am driving at low speeds and i turn my steering wheel my wheel locks up and i am unable to turn by vehicle. When i am driving on the highway my display system goes in and out.
Lost ofpower steering
Yesterday i was driving home on the highway driving approximately 75mph when without any warning a stability steering control light flashed on the dashboard behind my steering wheel. The car immediately jolted from driving mid 70's down to an immediate 67mph. This speed limit was the last thing that flashed before my dashboard blacked out, the steering column locked and the vehicle entirely lost power while driving. Seconds later my windshield wipers sporadically started moving (i did not engage the switch) and i watched the temperature go up from 70 to 80 without touching the gauge manually. The car jolted for almost 10 miles sporadically losing control intermittently and when i exited off the highway and made a left hand turn at a low speed (under 15mph) the steering completely locked and the car pulled off to the side of the road toward a curb. I gained control of the vehicle manually which was difficult but i did correct the drive path back onto the road. I pulled into the dealership at a low rate of speed and the car did the same thing as it did when i exited the highway. I'm in a loaner and the dealer has my vehicle. This vehicle was purchased used roughly 2 months ago from a registered gmc dealer with 40k miles on it. It now has roughly 44k on it. I have made 1 payment on this vehicle thus far.
On making a turn at low speed, my enginehas cut out completely. I had full loss of acceleration, power steering ,ac, radio. I put the truck in neutral and restart the engine to get to safety. This has occurred 3 times in the last 20 days.twice in city traffic, once on the highway, turning off for gas. The "service steering assist" light appeared. I took the truck for a full diagnostic at a local electric repair shop, for $170.00. The tech found nothing after hooking my truck to his computer. The day i retrieved my truck from the electrical shop, i stopped in walmart for groceries. My key fob would not lock or unlock my doors. I manually unlocked the truck to determine that the truck would not start at all. No panel/ interior lights, no response in ignition,no automatic unlocking, the truck was completely dead. Roadside service came to tow it, and the truck was jumpstarted from his battery pack. The key fob began to work, unlocking,etc. I towed the truck home.i have vin checked my truck and there are none but i believe my vehicular failure refers to gm part 573 safety recall 17v-414 regarding the loss of eps. A secondary recall which may apply is gm# 14v26000 re steering linkages, tie rod assembly.as the "steer assist' alert was what i saw. I have the work invoice from the electrical shop, if needed.
Radiator coolant leaking. Either a crack in radiator or the hoses are leaking. Vehicle only has 50,000 miles
While tapping the brakes, the vehicle's headlights will dim occasionally. 2 times now while tapping the brakes, the entire dashboard (including the touchscreen) turn off and restart. The first time was travelling on a highway and the second time was on my driveway, i applied the brakes and the entire car shut down, including the power steering, power brakes, and engine. That time i rolled out of my driveway and into the road. I was lucky no one was coming
I've always liked your gmc trucks but mostly been a ford owner so this december i bought a 2014 gmc sierra 1500 with 98,000 miles... Really love the truck but then start by having problems.. First my passenger window wouldn't roll down all the way ..got that fixed..then my rear drivers door lock don't work..and the big one my ac condenser has a leak ($1500 fix)which supposedly is a common problem with this vehicle..which i'm just so dissatisfied..i would really appreciated to have these problems fix for free!!! for i am regretting going gmc.
Radiator leaking from top corner driver side and passenngeralso rust on frame
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 5 mph, the steering wheel began to steer back and forth independently without warning. The contact stated that the engine stalled while the failure was occurring. The vehicle was able to restart, but the failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled after depressing the accelerator pedal without warning. The contact took the vehicle to simpson buick gmc of buena park (6600 auto center dr, buena park, ca 90621) for an oil leak and the gasket was replaced. Afterwards, the vehicle would shudder when reversing at a low rate of speed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer to be serviced; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 408.
The truck will completely turn off, loss of electrical, power steering, braking - everything. First time was on highway30mph in traffic 2nd time highway going 45-50 in traffic & today in parking lot, turning in to droppoff lane an childs school. No stearing and hit the curb.
When driving recently, my check engine light started flashing along with my stabilitrak light coming on. The vehicle started vibrating. The vibrating was especially rough while idle. The vibration was also rough while in lower gears and while braking. When brought in for service i was told it was a corroded ignition coil. This is the second time this has happened. I bought the vehicle new and it currently has about 37,000 miles on it.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 35 mph, the front driver and passenger seats became loose and began to shift independently. The contact also smelled radiator fluid due to the fact that the radiator cracked. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was determined that nothing was wrong with the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made of aware of the issue and stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v446000 (seats). The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
Radiator has micro-holes which leaks coolant. Engine code p0455 with no gm mechanics able to find a solution to the engine code.

The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated while driving the vehicle, the steering wheel would violently shake and vibrate before the vehicle shut-off. Later the vehicle was restarted and operated as normal. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure.the failure mileage was 30,000.
I purchased the vehicle pre-owned certified in late may 2017.ac went out 1 week later. Vehicle has bumper to bumper warranty for 12 months or 12k miles.vehicle was taken to folsom buick gmc and found"a/c condenser leaking...recommend replacement parts on order"part number 84211191.i was advised part was on back order.going on 45 days with no ac, as the part is still on back order.in sacramento, ca where daily it is 90 degrees with many days over 100 degrees and some days over 105 degrees.as this is my only means of transportation it is a safety concern due to the amount of heat on the body while driving for extended periods of time.i always have to make sure i have enough cold water in the vehicle due to the fear of passing out from dehydration.
The truck dies at any moment. Stability track system warning pops up in the little screen and the steering wheel is blocked when this happen. After these to things happens the truck shut down. Sometimes, after a few minutes the truck comes back to normal. This has happened to me for like 10 times in a period of like 15 months. I have taken to the dealer like 6 times and they haven't found the problem. They have change some wires from the battery. They have reprogram the software and nothing i still have the same problem. The truck dies at any moment. All of this happen when i am driving the truck most of the times at low speed and while turning to the left or right except like two times that occurred while i was driving in the highway. The mechanics in the dealer have done all kind of diagnostic that they have but they could not duplicated the problem so the answer that i get every time is that every is fine and that they couldn't duplicated the problem.
Initial vehicle start was fine. After dropping my son at his summer program, i returned to the vehicle and the engine would not start. All of the instruments and gauges powered on, but when i turned the key, nothing happened. I turned the power back to the off position and attempted to start again. I repeated this procedure eight separate times before the truck finally started. I am foreseeing a 2nd trip to the dealer's service department soon, but 1st for this issue.my 1st trip was due to the intellilink infotainment system going black. I took the truck to the dealer and was told there was a recall for the radio module to be reprogrammed. The reprogramming did not work and i had to wait another business day for a new radio module to be ordered and installed.i am beginning to doubt my purchase of this vehicle. I have owned it less than 1 month and i am anticipating another service department visit soon.

The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 65 mph, the service stabilitrac warning indicator illuminated, the door locks activated independently, and the power steering failed. Additionally, the vehicle independently turned off and on within a few seconds. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 88,124.
From time to time the vehicles power system will surge, blink, and generally act up. The priblem is intermittent. The check engine light will come in then go off, the engine has completely cut off several times while driving, the transmission acts up, radio will turn off, 120v outlet will turn off, occasionally the vehicle will fun for 5-15 seconds after being turned off and then sputter off. And 95% of the time the truck is absolutely fine.
My vehicle turned completely off and it put my breaks to the floor at 26 mph. My steering locked also as if i turned it off. Prior to this happening 3 months my steering column has a popping feeling. Not noise. Feeling. When i took it to the shop, they read the code and it said something along the lines of communication error. Dealership couldn't find anything wrong, took apart steering column nothing was loose and popping stopped also had battery replaced 7 months prior and no bad connections. Received my truck back, was good until a week ago the popping feeling, is back.
Began running rough bad lifters. Also interior is beginning to rust. Hheadlights are terrible it aka nearly impossible to see.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving at a low speed on an incline, the vehicle rolled backwards and then stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle functioned as intended. The failure mileage was 15,000. The vin was unavailable.
I own a 2014 gmc sierra and the air conditioning condenser has gone out. This should be a recall since so many gmc & chevrolet are having the same problem and no help is being offered to us. What a disappointment from gmc. If i would of been notified of this defect i would have never purchased these truck. Now i'm driving around in 110 degrees with my little son. Recall and fix this.
I temporarily had no control over the vehicle causing me to have an accident. While driving down a residential street approaching a stop sign intersection i merged into the center of st to pass a trashcan and in the process of returning to my correct position on the road i suddenly had no steering.panicking from the loss i pressed my brakes an attempt to bring vehicle to a stop but was unsuccessful because the tires began a slide once noticing the traction loss i proceeded to release brakes and reapply in hopes of gaining traction the brief relief from brakes caused the vehicle to regain traction and while i still have no control over steering, the vehicle jerks towards the right side of the road and the brakes being reapplied the vehicle continues to slide off pavement making contact with stop sign and telephone pole.
Vehicle will lose power and shut off while driving, while in reverse i have had the steering wheel ripped out of my hands.random error messages on dic, random starting issues.taken to shop multiple times, they cannot find an issue.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving the gear shifted into neutral inadvertently and caused the vehicle to abruptly accelerate. The contact also stated the vehicle consumed the engine oil prematurely and exhibited electrical failure with the windows opening and closing independently and the headlights failed to illuminate.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the cause of the failure could not be diagnosed. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but did not respond. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 29,000.
I purchased my vehicle brand new in order to avoid unexpected expenses that one sometimes inquire when we purchase a used vehicle. However, the truck has given me nothing but mechanical issues i've head engine power loss problems, have gone through two air conditioner major issues, radiator gone bad, transmission go out and the most recent my roof started to leak. As i did more research i came to discover that i am not the only customer in this predicament there are several others. I'm reaching out to for assistance in regards to these matters, something has to be done gmc has to take responsibility for faulty vehicles if that's is the case. They only give the go around to customers like myself that on top of having a car payment we have to somehow pay high mechanical bills for issues that should not be accruing to new vehicles.
Radiator leak. Took truck to shop to find out why fluid leaking under truck. Upon inspection they found that the radiator had fractured. The repair people found that there had been a recall in 2014 for gmc sierra's, but ours wasn't listed. A radiator should not fail on a 3 1/2 year old vehicle. The specific special coverage # 15829 stated that cycling of the thermostat may result in stress fractures of the radiator. The repair people felt this was what happened.we were fortunate that we were in town and not traveling. We contacted gmc directly to file a complaint and they refused to do anything about it. Actually told us to file a complaint here. The resulting bill was $1,346.07. $648.17 in parts, $633.45 in labor. Needless to say when it comes to buying another truck, this brand will not be on our list.
First instance: (this issue happened three times in one day before being able to be repaired) without warning the vehicle lost all power and the motor died while traveling at approx. 35mph for several seconds. When it powered back up everything was reset as if the battery had been disconnected. The dealership found a "loose ground wire" underneath the dashboard and attributed the occurrence to this. Second occurrence: (less than a month later and happened twice within a few minutes) while travelling on the expressway at approx. 70mph and again without warning the vehicle lost all power and the motor died for several seconds. When it powered back up everything was reset as if the battery had been disconnected. This happened again while exiting the highway just moments later at a more moderate speed, again with zero warning. Dealership now states the problem is with the positive battery terminal wire & harness.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 25 mph and making a left or right turn, the vehicle jerked violently and caused the steering wheel to become erratic. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 67,800.
Radiator is leaking from the top with only 67,000 miles and transmission shifts hard and when u let off gas while driving about 55 the rpms go down to idle then start bouncing up 500rpms then back down. Then eventually will find a gear to go in
While slowing down at traffic truck felt like it was super heavy and kept going, brake pedal got hard and could not press down. Ac went out on me twice do to bad compressor and had to repair at dealer.transmission knocks when slowing down and hard shifts like its going to break. Also visibility is poor on vehicle when driving at night as the light are very dim. Had to buy alternate lights but still dim.
Vehicle radiator has leak at 86k miles. There is known issue w/radiator and thermostat in this truck leading to tsb 15829 . My truck has the same engine/drive-train/cooling system, but the year of the tsb only applies to ld models. Gmc will not cover repair costs. Gmc dealer quoted me $2900 for repair.
While tapping the brakes, the vehicle's headlights will dim.occasionally, while tapping the brakes, the entire dashboard (including the touchscreen) turn off and restart.on 6/18/18, while travelling on a highway at 40 miles an hour and approaching a red light, i applied the brakes and the entire car shut down, including thepower steering, power brakes, and engine.i had to place the car into neutral and turn it back on in order to brake in time.
While passing a vehicle i lost all electrical power which in turn caused the vehicle to lose power. This same thing has happened several times at low speeds. I have the vehicle scheduled for july 2 to get looked at. The engined revved extremly high and it seemed like the transmission went into neutral. It then restarted. I had to roll the driver's window down and got a stabili trak light that came on after the incident.
Steering wheel springs/snaps (hard) in the opposite direction that the wheel is being turned and steering control is lost. When this does not shut the engine off, the only way to regain steering control is to restart the vehicle. When this does cause the engine to shut off the steering is restored with the restart.the stabili trak indicator appears just for an instant on the dic when this happens. Note: this is not the 'service stabili trak' indicator but more like stabili trak has been activated indicator. This happened first in reverse while backing into a parking spot. (three times in reverse). Then it started happening in drive, twice while pulling out from a stop sign and once while doing 15-20 mph turning onto a side street. The 15-20 mph turning instance caused the engine to shut off, steering became non existent for an instant and then very very heavy. I crossed the other lane of traffic and almost landed in the ditch. The truck has been at the dealership twice for a total of 14 days, both times 'cannot duplicate' was the result. No codes are being generated from these instances. Cause is unknown. Loose voltage or high resistance to grounds maybe. This has happened in hot and cold weather, running ac or heater or neither. There is no pattern. Please help.
The truck shuts off while driving which disables the power steering, engine and power braking. The electrical systems seems to reboot and turn back on after a second or two. This also happens occasionally while driving at slower speeds and turning the steering wheel or after hitting the turn signal. I have had the entire electrical system and engine shut off while doing 50mph on the high just because i turned my turn signal on. This happens every 4 weeks or so. You can tell it is about to happen when the headlights start deeming when tapping the brakes or using the turn signal. It usually happens when the truck is in motion. It has happened in all temperatures. After it happens the console states "stablitrak is disabled".
Intermittent stalling, ( complete shut down at freeway speeds). No engine, no power steering or brakes, windows will not operate, no emergency flashers, no dash re-out,will not turn over. Happens at any time while in motion. Has placed myself, my wife & other drivers in danger numerous times.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While the vehicle was being serviced at dossett gmc cadillac (1058 w pine st, hattiesburg, ms 39401), the dealer informed the contact that the radiator was defective. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The contact had not experienced a failure.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 35 mph, the front driver and passenger seats became loose and began to shift independently. The contact could smell radiator fluid due to the fact that the radiator cracked. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the radiator was cracked and needed to be repaired. The radiator was repaired. The manufacturer was made of aware of the issue and stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number 14v446000 (seats). The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
Clock and outside air temp readings are so small, you can't see them, without taking your eyes off the road, long enough to bend over close to the radio. This is as bad as someone using a cell phone to send and receive text. I have driven off the road twice, but have not crashed yet. My gm dealer says, the readings can not be made larger, and to be very careful.
The backseat headrests do not remain in the upright position.they slide down with the slightest contact from the person's head.the maintenance/service person at the dealership indicated that there has been numerous complaints from owners.he indicated that at this time it is a "no fix" problem.this is unacceptable and does not meet the national highway traffic boards regulations on headrest equipment.this is a real safety concern. The service department indicated that a latch needs to be installed to hold the headrest in place.if this is not corrected, people will at some point in time sustain serious injury.i feel like contacting 60 minutes with the problem and your response.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving at unknown speeds, the air conditioner unit blew out hot air through the vents. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (becker buick gmc inc, 636 east sprague ave, spokane, wa 99202) where it was diagnosed that the air condenser unit needed to be replaced. The freon had leaked out of the compartment. The contact was informed that the parts were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened case number: [xxx]. The failure mileage was 44,127. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Headlights are dim and horrible. Very dangerous to drive my truck at night. Lighting is extremely sub standard compared to all of the other trucks on the market and roadways. This needs addressed asap before people get killed. Gmc doesnt seem to care about these issues.
The headlights are so dim i doubt it would be any less safe to drive around with them off. I just purchased this vehicle, and my first time driving at night i had to park, get out of the vehicle and check to see if the light bulbs were burned out. The bulbs were not burned out, but they also do not function as headlights because they literally illuminate nothing. I can see the shadow of my truck in front of me in other vehicles headlights as they pass me. If an object, an animal, or a person were in the road in front of me i doubt i would be able to see them before it was too late. I believe a sierra equipped with these headlights will likely be involved in a collision with serious injury, property damage, or even death. I can only pray and hope that i'mnot one of them. Gm has released a tsb with an expensive procedure to correct the problem signaling to me that they acknowledge that a problem exist.
The poorheadlights in this vehicle prevent it from being safely operated after dark.
The headlights on this truck are horrible.i can barely see the road or sides of the road.at night cars behind/beside me flood out my lights.i have the interior lights turned completely down and still the lights are very weak and dangerous.
From the factory the headlights that come on this vehicle are sub-standard and a safety hazard when operating at night.not only is light output poor, but the width of the beam is horrible.when turning at night there is zero coverage and you have to make your turn without being able to see properly.these problems persist at any time headlights need to be utilized.
Headlights are unsafe for night driving. High beam also does not help the illumination issues. Driving in the rain at night is scary the lights are dim, and do not light up surrounding areas. Took truck to dealership, they kept it for 3 months put new bulbs in, and i still will not drive the truck at night, especially with my family with me. Spent 45k on truck and cant drive it at night. I have tried different bulbs, brands, looked for solutions, and still have yet to find any help.
The headlights on this truck are the worst performing lights i have ever used. They emit a very poor amount of light making it difficult to see at night and barely able to see at night if it is raining. I have almost been in several accidents at night because of the poor lighting. I have had the upgrade done by gm and that did not make these lights much better and definitely did not make it safer to drive at night. They need to replace the lights with the updated version they have installed in the 2016 models.
The basic design of the headlights does not allow for a sufficient level of lighting to safely operate the vehicle at night.there is virtually no lateral lighting, and the headlights do not illuminate the way forward, they only drop a shutter in front of the lights when one switches from low beam to high.there is no increase in light intensity or volume when switching to bright lights.recall and fix!!!!!!
I've had my 2014 gmc sierra for nearly a year now, first night i had it i couldn't believe how poor the light output was from the headlights. I've had numerous gmc sierra trucks over the years and this truck by far has the worse headlights i've ever had in a truck. There are a lot of people online complaining, i'm definitely not the only one upset with how poor these headlights are. There are a few guys in town with this same truck they all hate the headlights too. These headlights just seem very dim, they don't shine the ditches up very well, they don't shine ahead very far either. I have better luck running the headlights on low beam and fog lights on, it almost seems like less light on high beam so i rarely have them on high, i've had multiple occasions where i nearly hit a moose, these headlights are very dangerous i'm worried that one of these days i'm going to hit a moose or worse a person! i really hope somebody does something about these headlights gm didn't listen to anything i had to say.
This vehicle has the worse headlights of any vehicle i have owned (i have owned 341).the headlights cut off abruptly at 36 feet in front of the vehicle. You can outdrive the headlights at 5 mph.after 4 visits to the dealership, they have aimed the headlights up to cast the light out further, but the high beams are now 30 feet up in the trees.the light is very, very dim overall. I own a 2014 mossimo utv four wheeler and the lights are brighter and have more distance than my $50,000 truck,i also own a kia soul, a 2013 ford fusion, and a 2014 chrysler town and country. All of those headlights are much brighter and give great light dispersion on both sides of the road and are bright. My headlights are like a 3 way bulb70/100/125 watt.my other cars are like the 125 and the gmc is less than the 70 watt setting...good comparison.gmc is using 1 hir single filament bulb with a mechanical flapper for low beam. Very sorry set up.i live in tennessee where the roads are crooked and have no shoulders. If you drive off the road, you are in a deep ditch or dead.this is a definite safety issue. 1901 headlights on a 2014 truck.i do not any longer drive this vehicle at night. Gm has done nothing. No fix, no bulletin. I have read hundreds of complaints about the 2014 gmc headlights on the internet. I guess gm will cover this up like the ignition thing.i had a 2002 corvette that the ignition would lock up the steering wheel on, while driving. Gm said it was impossible. I had video. They bought it back.coverup artists!
I discovered only after buying this vehicle that the headlights are absolutely terrible, and clearly an immediate safety hazard.they are a "new" projector bulb style - single bulb with no independent high beam.the light is dim on both high and low beams, very narrow, and when the low beams are at the right height thehigh beams are up in the air.i thought at first they were just poorly adjusted, but the dealership was unable to improve the situation.they did not reveal to me that there have been numerous owner complaints about these lights, easily found by doing an internet search.there should be an immediate recall and fix on these lights.according to internet reports, the traditional two individual beam headlights on the 2014 chevrolet silverado are apparently fine.
Very poor performance from the headlights.
Heads lights are so dim i cant drive the truck at night also the is a bad vibrations coming from the rear end.
Poor head lights doesn't show the road very poor lighting read where was other complaint about this.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving various speeds, the low beams and high beams were extremely dim when activated. The failure recurred continuously. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30. Updated 6/22/15
The headlight illumination is inadequate both on low and high beams.just upgraded for the 2nd time the bulbs for which i have ascertained that the illumination doesn't provide for my personal safety as well as for the public at large.this is not merely my own observation but for all those who either drive or are passengers in this vehicle. According to the public forums for this particular problem...they haven't found any corrective solution. Please, i implore you to review and find some solution to gm's inherent problem.if people haven't been injured and or more seriously (killed), it is only a matter of time.i currently have 60 k miles on this vehicle which i purchased used from a dealer with 20k miles.i have had 2 independent gm dealerships look at this problem without any corrective action.
2014 gmc sierra 1500 z-71projection headlights are with out a doubt a safety hazard. Not only are they dim but they do not "project" far enough down the road in either the low or high beam modes. Unsafe because one over drives the beam projected. Unsafe because one cannot see off to the sides where deer and other animals approach sometimes at high speeds. There is no doubt in my mind that general motors will have to change out these headlights either sooner or later under a recall.
The headlights are to dim , it is hard to see ,they do not project very far .the worst headlights i have ever had
The head lights are terrible. When driving in a area with street lighting they have very little affect .my 20 year old mazda mpv has better lights
Headlight lighting is useless, night driving is dangerous. Light output is so low/dim that it is easy to out drive the headlights. High beam is no better as it just disperses the beam actually making it appear dimmer. Something needs to be done to address this concern before someone gets injured by these unsafe headlights.
The headlights on the new 2014 gmc sierra 1500 are incredibly dim.they do not illuminate the road sufficiently and are dangerous.rural roads are practically a no-go at night because i can't see anything in distance or on the sides of the road.making turns at night are incredibly dangerous.i feel the need to swap to a better light but there are no options that won't void my warranty by going aftermarket.this is a serious concern for me.headlights have been adjusted multiple times with no improvement.nothing that dealership can do since there are no alternate lights other than aftermarket.
The headlights are terrible for night driving...very poor visibility. It is very dangerous to drive at night and is a safety concern.. Gm refuses to correct this very poor visibility caused by the headlights.
The head light on my $30.000 sierra truck can,t see at night! gm needs a recall
I would like to alert gm that the illumination from the headlights on the 2014 gmc sierra 1500 slt is in my opinion, insufficient and dangerous. On several occasions since purchasing my vehicle in september 2014, i have had to double check to see if my headlights were on while driving at night. The pattern of illumination emitted from the headlights does not provide the vehicle operator with an adequate amount of lighting, especially on the sides of the road to prevent potential collisions with bicyclists and walking pedestrians.i happen to live in a somewhat rural area, that requires driving on roads and highways that do not have adequate street lighting and in some areas no street lights at all. This problem of poor quality headlights is a safety issue in my opinion.
While driving from alabama to pennsylvania in my new gmc i had to slow down to 15 mph under the posted limit due to poor illumination of the road. The high beam headlights shine no where on the road. I once almost missed a turn on a road i drive daily, on another occasion i barely avoided hitting two deer aside the road because the lights broadcast center of road and do not shine at all left or right. Two trips to the dealership have proved useless, first trip they were willing to adjust lights, second trip i was told there is no further adjustment possible. This is unacceptable for a new vehicle that cost $45,000.
The headlights on this truck are unsafe, they do not project enough light ahead for safe driving at night. One has to depend on the street lighting or stars. I have come close to hits others on the roads for the lack of projection of these lights. The truck becomes a hazard on the highway do to the slow speed one has to travel to stay within the headlights. Please address this with gmc before someone is hurt or killed.
Live in west virginia. Was traveling home from 2nd shift along good country road when i had to swerve to miss a deer. Reason was be the headlights on my week old gmc sierra are awful. They do not light up the road correctly (side to side) or distance wise. The low beams shine out about 30 feet and when i use the high beams the light is not aimed properly. It shines everywhere but on the road. Dealer said they've had lot of complaints but no info from gm on a fix. My last gm truck had great lights. Should have bought a ram! this is dangerous and needs not to be covered up like the ignition switch thing.
The headlights on this pickup make driving at night in rural south dakota almost impossible and even dangerous. I have owned this truck for only 2 weeks and found in order to drive at night i have to have the fog lights on to see, and even than it is not much better. The brights help none. Can't even tell when they are on vrs not. There has to be a fix orsomething that can be done to fix this. Driving at night is dangerous.
2014 gmc sierra 1500 4wd ~75k miles. Sometimes when i roll up my windows or use my blinker and it shuts off cruise control (hwy). And sometimes when i hit my breaks my headlights will dim (hwy, city streets, parking lots). When i'm turning slowly (in parking lots) the steeling will occasionally lock up and once it lost power entirely. My battery was tested at bigo and said it was fine. I've seen this online a lot for this truck and similar years, but no one seems to have a resolution. With so many incidents i'm shocked they don't have a fix or any idea what is wrong.
Headlights are terrible. In a dark rural area, they are so dim they are dangerous. You can easily outdrive your headlights. In the dark and rain, you should stay home. It's sad i can't drive my $50,000 truck at night. Dealer's "fix" was worthless. So angry. I will never own another gm vehicle!
I almost hit a deer when the vehicle was new as i could not see it until it was next to the passenger door, standing still. I had the dealer adjust the lights three times and install the gmc update, on the computer. I now have a blob of white light fall on the center line and another blob in the center of the driving lane. There is no light illuminating far forward or to the sides as should be. I talked with the dealer and there are no further updates for now. I have since had several close calls. I have driven professionally in the past.
The headlights do not light the road. No light on the side of road. I have missed my drivewayand came very close to driving into aditch. When driving down or up grades the road is in complete darkness. I have gave gm a year to fix the safety issue but theydo nothing is correct the problem. When raining the problem is ten times greater. This truck should not be driven at night, people will get injured or killed.
There truly is no accident at this time. However ... If this condition isn't corrected, there will be accidents. These may result in not only loss of life or property, but possible criminal prosecution. The issue: the projector headlamp design of the 2014 gmc sierra is extremely subpar for lighting the roadway ahead of you. Individuals, in order to not "outdrive" their lights, would probably have to go below posted minimum speed limits on highways, presenting yet another issue for the driver as well as those who would approach from the rear in nighttime driving conditions. I contacted gmc ... Aware of the issue. No help at this time. I got the impression from the operator that "not enough people have filed complaints." i'm guessing that when the catastrophic and tragic happens, it will not matter that not enough people filed complaints ... Officially. Slight research on the internet will show many individuals complaining about the issue. But gmc's admission that they are "aware" but are taking no action at this point is very disturbing. I would have thought that design issues would have had to be cleared by an oversight agency of some sort? i just discovered the extremely scary feeling of "driving in the dark" ... Basically ... After having my truck since thanksgiving. But i drive mostly in the daylight, and have been on interstate 20 in one of the busiest sections with traffic at night ... Not realizing how much others' lights were helping. When driving alone on a rural road, however, it is tantamount to driving with a flashlight when it comes to safety. I am wanting to trust that the agency tasked with safety will please look into this issue? before someone or multiples lose their lives and lawsuits ensue?
The headlights on my 2014 gmc sierra 1500 headlights are unsafe at night on dim or high beam.cannot see close to the sides or distance. Would be easy to hit a pedestrian.asked the dealer if there was a recall or if they could fix the problem and they said no there was nothing they could do.i have read many other complaints on line and doesn't seem to be anything being done about it.why isn't anything being done before people getting killed or injured..
The headlights are a huge safety issue, they are very dangerous at night. You can not see sides or in front of you . I hit a deer standing n the middle of the road, did not see it till it was right in front of me. My wife has a 2006 tahoe and her headlights are much better than the one in a 2014. Gmc needs to fix it before people start dying
Headlights are very dim, not excited about driving in the dark, might as well use a flashlight
Extremely poor visibility with projection headlights, very little difference between hi & low beams. Dealer states they meet requirements.
Worst headlight for a new vehicle. I have owned various gm trucks from 1967 to 2014. Never have i owned a truck with such worthless headlights like the projector beam headlights on my 2014 gmc sierra 1500 with theall terrain package.the projector headlight are very dim and do not light the road more than 30 feet ahead. At highway speeds (55-70) the projector headlights are only lighting a half second ahead of you. Additionally there is no lighting to illuminate the sholder at all.. You must drive full time with the fog lamps on to have a small increase in lighting. When using the high beams there is very little effect on visibility. Extremely disapointed in the 2014 gmc sierra. And will unlikely purchase another gm product in the future. At a msrp of over 50 grand i would expect a truck to have adequate headlight to light the road. Without the aftermarket cost to install better lighting the 2014 gmc sierra is very unsafe to operate at night.
The headlights on this $50k truck are just plain unacceptable! finally took in to the dealer as the brights were "raccoon hunting" but the dim setting is almost no light at all. Living in a rural area, i have to decrease my speed to nearly a crawl in order to watch for obstacles in the roadway or for wildlife. I've owned 6 gmc vehicles (sierra or yukon) since 2000 and none of them had the poor and dangerous lighting that this 2014 sierra has. When the dealer adjusted, the dims are now pointing down to the road about 30' from the bumper and the high beams are both pointing at the middle of the road about 75-100' with no lateral lighting at all. It's so bad, i have to make wide turns to light up the driveways or streets i'm turning into to keep from running into ditches or miss the turn all together. On a 55mph straight road, you can out run you lights! the fogs help the lateral vision a tiny bit but they are not all that good either. Gmc needs to address this or risk paying out on a big lawsuit over someone getting badly injured or worse.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500.the contact stated that the headlights on vehicle failed to illuminate properly.the headlights were dim and impaired the contacts vision. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing.the manufacturer was not notified of the failure.the vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 720.
The headlights on this truck are terrible, both lack of side projection and front projection are unsafe especially when driving in rural areas or during wet road conditions.i have had the bcm update and new bulbs installed from gmc but this offered very little improvement. Driving with the fog lamps on offer the only lateral vision to see turning any corner.
The headlights and running lights are not adequate enough at nighttime to see . Limited site distance and brightness. I dont like driving at night because of this creating a safety problem. Looking at the possibility of installing led lights but dont think i should bare the cost since gmc has a problem they need to correctbefore i am hurt driving with these unsuitable lights they have installed on their vehicles.
Not bright enough. It is not safe to drive dark countryside roads. No side visibility at all. I almost hit a cow.
Today for the first time i drove my 2014 sierra texas edition in the rain at night.... Wow>>>>> i had to stop and wait for the rain downpour to let out so i could see where i was going. Not good. Driving at night is very stressful and eye straining to the point of taking headache medications once you are done driving. Any way to fix this extremely dangerous problem? this should be considered a safety hazard to drivers and any others on the road. This issue needs to be addressed and resolved asap. And gm still says there is nothing wrong. So why are they changing the design on the 2016's trucksafter contacting [xxx]to see if he could provide some help this is what he had to sayhi [xxx]: thanks for watching! the best way to solve your problem is to install a set of led auxiliary driving lights. They can be purchased for about $300.00 plus labor and make a world of difference. At least that?s the way we have addressed the problem on those trucks in my shop.

Head light don't offer enough lighting at night
During driving, the stability sensors would go off and show up stating stability turned off, or power steering turned off. The voltage on vehicle would suddenly drop from 15 to 9 and then back up. This will usually turn off the interior lights and electronics. I have discussed this with other 2014 sierra and silverado owners and they all advised this was occuring on their vehicles. There is a ground wire that was not properly installed under the dash which causes high resistance material to cause electrical issues. During one of my drives to work going 60 mph, the electrical components shut off and caused the engine to stop running. I was able to pull over while coasting on no power and restart the vehicle and it would continue to go. There have been times where the steering wheel would jerk while stationary as well. After many forum discussion this all related back to the ground wire not being properly installed by the manufacturer.
The headlights on my 2014 gmc sierra 1500 are very very dim. Both low beam and high beam make it very diffiucultto see very far in front. I have been driving gm trucks for over 50 years and have never encountered lighting so terrible. With the deer in penna. Moving at night this time of year i am at times reluctant to go over 35mph. I can't believe that gm has not made some kind of change to their headlight system noting the many other complaints. I did test drive the truck but of course not at night,it certainly would have been a deal breaker knowing what i know now. That is how bad they are. This is a very dangerous product and emplore the nhtsa to force a recall of this vehicle. I have looked into replacement bulbs with much higher intensity. Nothing is available other than the standard. Please take action!
The factory installed head lights are so bad that you can barely see at night one of the worst most dangerous issues i've ever seen on a vehicle please let me know how we can remedy the situation
The large 8" intellilink radio screen in this truck has separate brightness control from the rest of the dash lights, including the instrument panel. Due to it's size and colored background, the lcd radio screen is much brighter than the rest of the interior lights. The fact that the system has no night scheme, meaning it doesn't shift to a mostly black background at night makes this problem even worse. While it is possible to lower the brightness using a dash-mounted dimmer switch, the dimmer must be lowered to minimum in order to get the radio screen to be a comfortable brightness level for night driving. At this point, the instrument cluster lights are so dim as to be extremely difficult to see and as a result require much more time and effort to read speed information.the only way to completely turn off the radio screen is to go through several menus into settings and manually turn off the screen. Not only is this a dangerous distraction while driving but if any vehicle setting such as radio volume, or hvac controls are adjusted, the screen automatically turns back on and the process must be repeated.i have contacted gm several times about this issue due to its distracting nature when driving at night and have been told repeatedly that the system is "operating as designed." i feel this is a safety issue since the bright light in the cab ruins night vision while also distracting the driver's eyes from the road. My recommendation is for a software update for the intellilink/radio system to be designed to add a brightness setting in the system menu to allow driver's to set the radio screen brightness independently of the instrument cluster lights and to also program a "night mode" color scheme that would shift from the blue illuminated background used in the daytime to something that is mostly black.
The headlights do not adequately illuminate the road. There is no light to the side of road. I came very close to driving into a ditch. When driving down or up grades the road is in complete darkness. No discernible difference between high and low beams. It's very dangerous driving on unlit country roads near my home in upstate ny.when raining the problem is even worse.the headlamps on all 4 of my previous gm trucks 9jimmys,yukon and suburban)were far superior to those on my new $55,000 sierra. This truck should not be driven at night but that's unavoidable, someone's going to be hurt or killed!!!
The factory headlights are almost useless at night especially if there is any moisture on the roads . They are absolutely horrible at dusk and dawn as well .
Headlights are terrible.very dim. Brights are no better. Installed aftermarket lighting (just under $400)just to be safe at night. .made complaint with gm. They did not admit to knowledge of the problem and offered nothing to make situation right.i am extremely disappointed and will not buy another gmc with projection headlights.
I purchased this truck new in october, 2014.my research prior to purchase showed a number of complaints about the headlights, but i did not think there were enough complaints for me to be concerned. I was wrong. I live in a rural area and the headlights are definitely inadequate on the low beam setting. The mechanical shutter design produces a very sharp beam cutoff at about the level of the hood, making it seem like you are sitting in a darkened area above a bowl of light. The projector headlights provide little, if any, illumination of objects on the side of the road. I use the fog/driving lights continually on the truck or i would not feel comfortable driving it with low beams in unlit areas.for the sake of comparison, i have attached two images taken on two consecutive mornings at approximately the same location on my driveway. The truck picture was taken approximately ten minutes later than the car picture (both were approximately 6:45 a.m.).note there is a slight perspective shift due to the height difference in the vehicles and the driving/fog lights were not on on either vehicle when the picture was taken.note the 25-year old technology sealed beam headlights show the fence posts at the right side of the vehicle where the gmc's headlights show a dark void.it honestly feels like you are driving through a tunnel of light in the truck. You have no hope of seeing any objects on either side of the road.there is a tsb on this issue that recommends replacing the bulbs and reprogramming the bcm.my truck has not had this performed because the dealership did not have the bulbs in stock when i asked about it.there is some debate on message boards regarding whether or not the update offers any benefits.additionally, the new bulbs allegedly have a significantly shortened life over the originals and they can be difficult to locate when needed.
Problem was present from the day i bought truck new. I live in a very rural area and the headlights are too dim to drive safelyat night. Vehicle has been back to the dealer twice, once toreplace bulbs and reprogram the bcm. Still not bright enough to feel safe driving at night.second trip to the dealer they adjusted headlight up to high end of spec. Still not bright.i'm to the point of installing an after market hid kit.
Head lights are very dim and i can not safely see the path i am traveling. An upgrade was performed at the dealership which helped somewhat but i still can not safely see the path i am traveling. I dread driving this truck at night and do not feel safe doing so.
The projector beam headlights on my 2 year old gmc sierra are, and have been, noticeably dim to the point of being a safety concern.it's as if trying to drive at night while wearing dark sunglasses.in addition to being dim, there's also the problem of side illumination.i can see some of the road ahead, but can't see the ditches on either side of the road.i consider this lack of side illumination to also be a safety issue, especially when negotiating turns or curves. Using high beams offers little, if any improvement.the high beams only seem to shine higher (tree top height), but offer no real increase in either side illumination or actual brightness.the "eye lids" lift, but poor illumination remains unchanged. About the only option is for me to drive with the fog lights on.using fog lights at least gives a bit more side illumination, but still does nothing to assist with "down the road" illumination.i've been surprised at such poor lighting being installed on an otherwise great truck.these projector beam headlights were supposedly offered as part of premium packages.if these headlights are gmc's best, i'm sure glad i didn't get the cheaper lights!my only hope is that gmc will offer some type of headlight upgrade, possibly led lights.
Headlights on 2014 sierra 1500 are horrible.do not project very far down the road and the brights do not do anything but light up the tops of trees.at dusk, dawn, or when raining is particularly bad.on more than one occasion driving in small towns or in traffic i thought the lights were actually off they are so dim.i took it to the dealer shortly after i got the truck in september of 2013 and they said they adjusted them but it didn't do anything.i have continued to have problems and it seems like they are getting even dimmer now.very disappointed...someone is going to have a wreck one of these days because of these as you cannot see what is in the road 100 feet ahead.at 55 mph that could be a death sentence.
Worst headlight on a new vehicle. I own 4 autos and am scared to drive at highway speed on local pennsylvania roads. The high beam has no increase in visual effect. Very disappointed i may have to add extra light or modify factory tested lighting to make this adequate for safe driving.
The headlights are so dim that it makes driving in dark conditions inbreeding dangerous, even at low speeds the illumination is unacceptable.
My 2014 gmc sierra has very dim head lights, very difficult to determine your own lane at times in the dark. Almost impossible to see when it's raining at night. Many times i've had to double check to make sure my headlights were on because there so dim it doesn't seem like there on at all. It makes for very nerve racking driving at night. Something needs to be done about these headlights, it's very dangerous for gmc drivers and other vehicles on the road.. Test drive one in the rain at night out in the country.. Not in town , with street lights!!!
From day one the headlights on our 2014 gmc sierra 1500 vehicle are useless.the do not light up at all and is a very bad safety hazard for all.we can drive down the road on high beam and no one will flash us at all.we have notified the dealer and gmc and seem to get no where.they said there has been a lot of complaints for bad visability with the new shutter headlights but gmc says they look pretty.well pretty does not help being able to see.i have read pages of complaints about how anyone that purchased a 2014 gmc sierra 1500 cannot see at night while driving and again this is a serious safety hazard.the 2014 gmc sierrs 3500 has the regular headlights, why cant the 1500 have these??we paid $43,000 for this pickup and cant drive it at night for the fear of hitting animals, people walking etc. Gmc says oh well you bought it your fault, but who takes a trial ride at night??if we could we would trade vehicle in for a chevy, their 2014 has regular headlights.again i am not the only one that is having headlight problems please search for complaints on this matter and you well see how many people are complaining and gmc is not taking this serious at all!! if we crash at night due to our lights, which where we live in northern maine, we will definitely be putting some lawyers in on this matter and going after someone for not addressing this safety hazard.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the headlights provided minimum visibility at night. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where a defect was not determinedthe vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000. Updated 05/17/17*ljthe consumer stated the headlights were very dim. Updated 10/11/2017
While driving in town at 25 mph, almost hit a pedestrian who was crossing the road due to insufficient headlamps on the truck.this was ever with the fog lamps on which seem to put out more light then the headlights.. Extremely dangerous... Have to rely on the street lamps to see where we are going when driving in town.. Disappointed to my wits end that the dealer tells me that there isn't any fix for this yet.
While driving lost all dash lights,, had to pull to side of road shut off engine then restart. Came back on.
The headlights on this vehicle are horrible, low beams are of no use except in the city traffic and high beams are only slightly better. High beams arenot sufficient for driving on dark roads. Hopefully gm will offer to repair/replace these before there are deaths to report.
Interiorlight flashes when stepping on break pedal
Head lights dont allow you to see the road.not bright enough,dont shine correctly.cant see the road or deer at night and are worse in the rain.
Of all the vehicles i have owned, this 2014 gmc has the worst headlights of them all.. $47,000 and basically a bic lighter on the front of the truck for lights.. While out driving on my way back from fort kent, with the truck on high beam i nearly hit a moose that i didn't see until i was right on it due to not having enough light down the road.. Have to drive 40 not to outrun the headlights. Very very frustrating and the dealer tells us that gm knows about it but has no fix..
These are the worst headlights. I live in rural alabama and cant see edges of road or more than 50' ahead. Cant change the bulb to improve it. Very dangerous at night for me and anyone else on the road!
Head lights are substandard and unsafe on this vehicle. It is unsafe to drive faster than 40 mph on low beam and not much better on high beam. When turning 90 degrees you are turning in to the dark.
Visibility from headlights are very poor at night.very bad safety hazard if not corrected by gmc!!
Poor headlights. The headlights on my 2014 gmc sierra are terrible at best. Unable to see anything at night
The headlights on this truck are inadequate for driving at night. If it's raining at night, i won't drive it. I bought a new truck from gmc , it's unsafe to drive at night, and gmc should fix it !!
Clock and outside air temp readings are so small, you can't see them, without taking your eyes off the road, long enough to bend over close to the radio. This is as bad as someone using a cell phone to send and receive text. I have driven off the road twice, but have not crashed yet. My gm dealer says, the readings can not be made larger, and to be very careful.
The headlights on the 2014 gmc sierra do not supply enough light while driving at night. I was shocked at how little light they put out. It is almost dangerous to drive at night due to the fact that visibility is so limited.
The headlights are very dim. I can not see very far down the road and i can not see the shoulders of the roadway. It is not very safe to drive this vehicle at night with the factory installed headlights.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the headlights were not bright enough at night to see past 20 feet. The dealer could not diagnose or repair the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 26,000.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 65 mph, the headlights became unresponsive and produced dim lighting on the road. The failure hindered the contact's visibility. The vehicle was taken to be repaired, but the issue recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 35,600.
Headlights are worthless.on low beam less than 95' of forward area lite up.at 55 mph, that gives you about a second for reaction time.just a little better on high beam.peripheral lighting is worse.
My husband and i were driving on highway 1 just past montara beach. It was around 7:30 pm and already dark.we were going approximately 45 mph when all of a sudden, both headlights shut off on its own.we were approaching an extremely curvy stretch of road along ocean cliffs and there was nowhere to pull over. The symbol on the dash was lit up saying that our lights were on (even though they weren't). Thankfully there was a car in front of us and one behind us that gave us enough light and time to react which meant we didn't have to jam on our brakes and hope for the best. We tried the high beams which also did not work.after turning knobs and pressing buttons (while driving) to get some illumination, we finally were able to turn on the fog lights which was enough to get us somewhere safe.this is extremely dangerous and should never happen to anyone.without the headlights from the car in front of us and behind us, this could have ended very badly, possibly even fatal.we were never able to get the headlights back on and plan on bringing the truck to a local gmc dealer tomorrow. Unfortunately, even if we get it fixed, we will be worried every time we drive it at night knowing that this could have ended so much worse.we haven't even put 1000 miles on it since we purchased it.
Was driving down the highway at highway speeds rolled the passenger window up the stereo cut off the gauges cut out and the wipers wipes in one time. Then a message stating stabilitrak needed to be serviced and electronic power steering was out
Headlights are not bright enough. Headlights are useless at night. Dealership changed bulbs and reprogrammed. Vehicle is still dangerous to drive at night. Vehicle has been this way since new.
Poor lighting (headlights), to the point where it is unsafe.worse yet, i didn't know about the tsb which gives a slight improvement,and cannot get it done at no cost to me due to my warranty being over by 4,000 miles.
Vehicle will lose power and shut off while driving, while in reverse i have had the steering wheel ripped out of my hands.random error messages on dic, random starting issues.taken to shop multiple times, they cannot find an issue.
The reverse lights are not working which is affecting the rear camera as well.
2014 gmc sierra 1500.consumer writes in regards to vehicle headlights design problems.the consumer stated he discovered the headlights only had one bulb, which meant the high and low beams had to be adjusted as one unit. He exited the vehicle and measured the distance from the vehicle to where the visibility ended. The distance was 130 feet on both sides of the road.also, on a turn of 90 or 120 degrees, there was no side lighting which meant he had to slow down to a crawl in order to make a turn. In addition, when going down hill, the visibility of the lights decreased to about 20-20 feet.the dealer raised the lights about factory specs. He could see a little better, but the high beams were 20-30 feet in the air and were useless.ma 08/05/15the consumer stated during inclement weather visibility decreases to 20-30 feet/40 feet max. Updated 9/24/15
I temporarily had no control over the vehicle causing me to have an accident. While driving down a residential street approaching a stop sign intersection i merged into the center of st to pass a trashcan and in the process of returning to my correct position on the road i suddenly had no steering.panicking from the loss i pressed my brakes an attempt to bring vehicle to a stop but was unsuccessful because the tires began a slide once noticing the traction loss i proceeded to release brakes and reapply in hopes of gaining traction the brief relief from brakes caused the vehicle to regain traction and while i still have no control over steering, the vehicle jerks towards the right side of the road and the brakes being reapplied the vehicle continues to slide off pavement making contact with stop sign and telephone pole.
The headlights are so poor that it feels dangerous to drive at night. On top of that, when it's raining at night, i try to avoid the roads.
Extremely poor/unsafe headlights. I have been dealing with this issue since purchased new. "lurking" in forums and complaint web sites assuming a fix would be forthcoming. I guess not. Insufficient lighting at night in rural settings with no ambient light. Cannot see anywhere near the distance required to drive safely at posted limits and non-existent side lighting. 2 near misses with deer grazing on side of road as proof. I spent the money for good auxiliary driving lights and a light bar to put them on but are only useful with no oncoming traffic. Current replacement bulbs/bcm reprogram cause limited improvement with significant increase in bulb failure frequency. 2016 redesign eliminated these lights and retrofit to 2014/15 hardware is available. Gm should step up!
The headlight output on my new 2014 gmc sierra is so poor that i cannot drive the vehicle safely at night.in fact, i do not drive it at all unless it is absolutely necessary.not only are the lights very dim but the shape of the beam is also very poor.with the current oem headlight equipment, this vehicle is unsafe to operate at night.
Very dim headlights causing difficulty driving at night and in rainy weather. 2014 gmc sierra with 13000 miles.purchased truck in march of 2015 noticed lighting issue first time i drove at night
The headlights on this truck suck they are dim even on high beams going up a twisty mountain road at night is like taking your life in your own hands not safe at all.
Very poor lighting at night with headlights on both low beam or high....very dangerous in rural areas...i have tried new bulbs with no luck... Truck seems to sit low on one side looking at the back even on flat surfaces...
In the past 4 months, beginning at about 52k miles, i started receiving messages on my truck that said "stability control" was out and it locks the front left wheel, losing all steering, the radio and then the truck goes completely dead.the ac goes on/off and the headlights flicker.this is always at low speeds between 5-10 mph and most commonly when making a turn.i had the battery replaced at the dealership and now they're telling me i need a negative battery cable replacement?
Highway driving at night where dear/vehicle collisions happen on a daily (or nightly) basis with the poor light output of the headlights in the 2014 sierra is, simply put, to be avoided in my opinion as well as all those who have ridden with me at night. One actually believed i was joking and asked me to turn the real headlights on, if that says anything about what my complaint is about today. I have avoided night driving with this truck in favor of a sedan equipped with oem "high intensity discharge" headlights even though deer represent more of a significant danger due to the height differences between the sedan (nissan) and the pickup (14 sierra). I do this because with the nissan's hid headlights i am capable of seeing the deer (or pedestrians, debris, etc) from an adequate enough distance that allows me to slow way down or otherwise act accordingly. That is not an option with the 2014 gmc sierra and it's projector headlights. While the sierra may provide enough light output to suffice in well lit towns and on well lit roadways, it does not do so on secluded roads where deer are most prevalent and in turn the most difficult to see.turning the "brights" on makes no difference to the actual areas that represent the possible danger one might encounter such as pedestrians, debris on the road, deer as previously mentioned, poorly lit vehicles, etc. It does however illuminate the trees which might be helpful to some but not too me. I understand gm attempting to save where possible, but give us that need better performing headlights have the factory option to upgrade them to hid's, i would have paid for it, as we did with thenissan, and as my brother did with his ford f150, both of which have outstanding headlight output thanks to the hid's.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the low beam headlights were very dim. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the headlights needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 20.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the headlights were dim, which made it difficult to see well at night while driving. The contact stated that the vehicle was equipped with halogen bulbs. The contact upgraded to led bulbs, but the illumination did not get brighter. The vehicle was taken to charlie's chevrolet (877-688-4621, located at 1412 u s 202, winthrop, me 04364) where the technician recommended a diagnostic test. The test was not performed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle performed as designed. The contact was informed to take the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The contact upgraded to hid bulbs on his own, which offered better lighting than the original bulbs. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.
Headlights are extremely dim, even on the high-beam setting.makes it extremely dangerous to operate at night and i will not drive it at night unless it's an emergency due to not being able to see.
Headlightsis so dim not safe to drive it seen where lots of people arehaving same issues and gm need to do somethingto make all there 14 and 15 better they fixed it in the 16 trucks i have triedto see if there is a recall and seen somethingabout a fix but say it didn't help so hopefullycan get something doneabout this just boughtthe truck and hate it because of this issuethanks [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The vehicle's headlight have such poor illumination it renders the vehicle undrivable at night. Gm says nothing wrong, i have replaced the headlight bulbs with 3 different bulbs both oem and aftermarket nothing improves the illumination with the stock light housings.
Vehicle has poor headlight performance when driving at night. Has been back to the dealer multiple times since purchase in 2014.reprogramming and headlight bulb replacement was ineffective.not safe to drive in rural/dark and or rain/snow/dark.
Vehicle headlights are down right dangerous at nighttime to the point it's not even safe to operate at night because you can not see where your going,especially on hilly terrain and curvy winding roads.the time you react you will be off the road resulting in a crash, bringing injury or death to oneself or another occupant on the roadway. Lights or way to weak and not located in the right spot on truck making half your view in complete darkness when going up and down on hilly terrain. For the life of me can not believe this has not been recalled yet. This is totally unacceptable in the day and age we life in. Please get this recalled and safe people's life. Accidents may happen and someone might go off the road and get killed and no one will know why they went off the roadway just thinking maybe they feel asleep and the real result was improper head lighting and lack of vision to stay on the roadway. Please help get this on the recall list and it's not even a expensive fix.help safe lifes! thank you
The projector style headlights this truck is equipped with are insufficient for safe night driving when not in a city driving condition. The low-beams are satisfactory for lower speeds (ie <45mph) but are extremely easy to out-drive at highway speeds. The beam pattern is also not wide enough to illuminate anything other than the area directly in front of the vehicle.the high beams are even worse. The headlights in this truck use one single filament bulb for each headlight. When the high beams are turned on, a mechanical shutter opens to allow more light through the projector lens. The lens is designed such that this additional light is aimed so high as to be useless. Parked 20ft from a wall, the center of the high beam patter is already several ft above the bulb level on the wall. When driving on a straight and level road with no trees, it is actually impossible to even tell the high beams are on since there is no extra beam to illuminate the sides of the road and the center beam is pointed up into the trees.
No accident... Yet! but have had multiple near misses, and feel it's just a matter of time.the headlights on this vehicle are extremely inadequate even after having the recommended headlight upgrade service bulliten completed by my local dealer.
There truly is no accident at this time.however ... If this condition isn't corrected, there will be accidents.these may result in not only loss of life or property, but possible criminal prosecution.the issue:the projector headlamp design of the 2014 gmc sierrais extremely subpar for lighting the roadway ahead of you.individuals, in order to not "outdrive" their lights, would probably have to go below posted minimum speed limits on highways, presenting yet another issue for the driver as well as those who would approach from the rear in nighttime driving conditions.i contacted gmc ... Aware of the issue.no help at this time.i got the impression from the operator that "not enough people have filed complaints."i'm guessing that when the catastrophic and tragic happens, it will not matter that not enough people filed complaints ... Officially.slight research on the internet will show many individuals complaining about the issue.but gmc's admission that they are "aware" but are taking no action at this point is very disturbing.i would have thought that design issues would have had to be cleared by an oversight agency of some sort?i just discovered the extremely scary feeling of "driving in the dark" ... Basically ... After having my truck since thanksgiving.but i drive mostly in the daylight, and have been on interstate 20 in one of the busiest sections with traffic at night ... Not realizing how much others' lights were helping.when driving alone on a rural road, however, it is tantamount to driving with a flashlight when it comes to safety.i am wanting to trust that the agency tasked with safety will please look into this issue?before someone or multiples lose their lives and lawsuits ensue?
The headlights (both low and high beams) are ineffective and inadequate. The forward throw is bad, but the peripheral throw is even worse. There is essentially no peripheral light and this makes for very hazardous conditions when negotiating a dark curve. I am constantly checking to see if the headlights are operating - even when the 'icon' on the dashboard says they are 'on', it is impossible to know that they are working due to the dim output. I don't sse any similar complaints regarding the headlughts on the chevrolet silverado (same platform as gmc sierra) - so i assume that gm can 'fix' this safety issue if they wanted to.
Unsafe andweak low beam headlights while driving at night.
Have a bad tail light on my right side and took it to elharts to see why it won't light up with new bulbs and they said that the whole tail light has to be replaced because it has bad wiring i don't feel that i should have to pay for this to be done when it's a manufacturer problem that it was bad when it was put into my truck the part alone will cost 215 .00 plus i have to pay taxes plus labor could be totally not happy would like not to come out of my pocket if i don't get it fixed it will cause a accident that could be very bad
The headlights are unsafe for nighttime driving especially in darker rural areas and in bad weather. The side lighting from the headlights are nearly nonexistent especially around sharp curves. In order to read signs at night i often have to use my highbeams in order to read them regardless if there is traffic in front of me or oncoming. I drive home from work nightly with my high beams on the entire was unless there is a car close in front of me. I've yet to have oncoming traffic flash their lights at me do to having my highbeams on. I have made the dealership aware as well as corporate gm . As of now the only action they will take is to replace my old bulbs with the same bulbs they took out. This is an extremely common issue with this vehicle but yet no recall has been made. Only a tsb which i can't even get my dealership to follow.
When i first started driving my new 14 gmc i had never had a truck with projector headlights so i was unsure if it was just me that had to adjust to the beam of light they provide or if it was a problem with the lighting itself. After having driven my 14 silevrado work truck with standard lights i realize there is a huge problem with the gmc projector lights they are so bad it makes you think there is a faulty ground wire or something extra ordinary wrong with the headlights. It is so bad that i even looked into upgrading the bulbs but you can't even do that because philips owns the rights to produce them and wants to over charge the aftermarket for the use of the design, so i am stuck with a headlight system that is worse then a 6v headlight from the 40s.
Can not see at night,needs to be recalled
Headlights are dangerous! dealer performed update( new bulbs and increase voltage to bcm) but improvement was minimal. Have even tried led conversion, with very litle improvement. I have had several veihcles with projector system, and had zero complaints. I have looked a projector lens on other vehicles, and they do not have impurities (tiny air bubbles) in the lens. I believe the problem lies in the sub-par lenses.this creates an extremely dangerous situation for night driving.
The high beam headlights, as installed from the factory and properly adjusted, are inadequate for driving on dark country roads at night, in the absence of ambient lighting from street and yard lights.the light is cast well down the road, but there is too little light spread to the shoulders of the road, making pedestrians and animals difficult to see if they are not directly in the roadway.i live in a rural area with many peach orchards and pastures, therefore there are often few, if any, street or yard lights to provide any ambient lighting.also, many of the roads in the area have neither painted lines nor reflectors to help mark the path of travel at night.if there are hills and curves, the light pattern and output of the factory installed lights on my 2014 gmc sierra make it difficult to distinguish unmarked pavement from the grass on the shoulders of the road.all of these shortcomings are magnified when roads are wet and/or it is raining or otherwise inclement weather.i approached my dealer here in spartanburg, sc, about a remedy for the inadequate headlights, but the representative was dismissive and did not follow-up.
Poor lighting on headlights
The headlights are not bright enough for night driving on country roads without street lights,on bright or dim mode.these are the worse headlights on any car i have ever owned,i personally have bought 4 brand new gmc pickups,this is the worse.i never thought about test driving at night,i trusted them,wrong!
Gmc sierra my2014 headlight don't illuminate properly down the road, the headlight don't give good advisably during dry,fog, or wet conditions. It is kind of sad spending over 45k on a vehicle that doesn't illuminate properly. I have own other gm vehicles have better illumination. There has to be a way to get a fix for this trucks
Headlights are too dim in 2014 gmc sierra. To the point of dangerous to pedestrians and wildlife. The lights hinder the ability of drivers to see and avoid anything that may wonder into the vehicles path. By the time the headlight illuminate the object it'll be too late! "save some life", persuade general motors to fix future vehicles and possibly recall existing ones.
Headlights are weak.
These trucks have the worst headlights that i have ever owned and something needs to be done before someone is hurt or killed.
The headlights are terrible in this truck.when we decided to purchase this truck it was very expensive but we thought we were making a good investment-wrong!!! what good is the truck if we get in accident because we can't see at night.gmc just tried to save money wherever they could-only the bare minimal-its all only about lining their pockets with the most cash that they can.we have talked to the dealer about this and they say they is nothing they can do.gmc replace the headlight starting in the 2016 but what about the 2014 & 2015 our life's don't matter?
The engine shuts off and it looses all power randomly when turning , it is noow started to shut off in traffic when lightly tapping the brakes..
Headlights on my 2014 gmc sierra 1500 slt are totally inadequate on high or low beam. The lighting distance is inadequate and is so directional that there is no side flair lighting for turning like you have with conventional headlights. This is a serious safety issue and needs to be addressed immediately by the nhtsa. I have had this vehicle for 41/2 years and the problem is ongoing since i bought it. The dealer has no solution. New hi/low bulbs, dealer installed and still very dim and unsafe.
The headlights on the 2014 gmc sierra 1500 are not adequate for night time rural driving. On 7 oct 2014 at approx. 5:30am a deer ran into the side of my truck hitting just behind the driver's side front wheel because i was not able to see it in time to avoid hitting it because of the poor headlight lighting design of the truck. If the headlight lighting design on the truck was adequate i would have been able to avoid hitting the deer.the low beams do not light up the shoulder of the road enough or in front of you for more than approx. 50' to 75' (that's probably being generous) and the high beams are just as bad and point up in the air. The nhtsa should immediately do something about this and make gm fix this problem before someone is killed or seriously injured or is that what you are waiting on to happen before you do something about this problem. I know you have received numerous complaints about this problem and so has gm but to date i haven't seen any action taken. Is this gonna be another cover up by gm with your help because both you and gm are aware of the problem before you take action or are you gonna do what you are suppose to do and keep us safe on the highways. It was the govt that bailed them out when they were going bankrupt not so long ago so why isn't the govt (nhtsa) helping the public now and bailing us out to fix this problem.
I have returned my gmc crew cab sierra 2014 to the dealer 5 times because of inadequate headlights. The first time they service dept. Readjusted them with no improvement. The third time back the bulbs were replaced per a bulletin and bcm reprogrammed. Still no improvement especially on the right side. The fourth time i had my intelligence insulted when the service adviser told me it was because the garage door he shone them on was dirtier on the right side. What an excuse and only a fool would insult his own intelligence with that remark. The fifth time back the parts manager had ordered a new bulb for the right side and was consequently replaced a second time. I wrote a certified letter then to gm customer service and was contacted by mark 1-866-522-0300 ext.#5921569. He said i was supposed to take the vehicle to the dealership and leave it so they could drive it at nite. I did that and it was driven by paul and upon contacting him this am he told me the low beams were absolutely terrible and overall the headlights on the truck were as lousy as all the 2014 and 15 trucks are. Upon picking the truck up this afternoon the same rediculis service advisor (wally) told me that he didn't drive it and paul did and told him there was no problem with the lights. Who is the liar? isincerely believe it is wally because he is bound and determined not to fix it. The high beams on this vehicle are what the low beams should be. This is a safety issue and a $53000 truck should have safe headlights. On low beam there is a black curtain only a few feet from the hood and going downhill that black is almost at the end of the hood. I have over the past 18 months talked to four gm reps at the customer service center, with the third one telling she would make arrangements to replace the light system with the 2016 system. She called the dealer setting it up and then never followed through.
The headlights on these trucks are horrible. Very unsafe to use.
Headlights not bright enough.added auxiliary driving lights for safety at night.
I traded a 2011 gmc sierra on this 2014 gmc sierra (sle / double cab / 4.3l v6), plus still have a 2012 gmc sierra, and the lights on these 2 when compared to the 2014 gmc were / are like night and day - the 2014 gmc sierrais positively dangerous to drive at night - lights are disgusting - high beam on 2014 gmc is worse than low beam on my earlier gmc sierra's. Took copy of "carcomplaint.com" report on headlight problemto dealership, but they said gm has not provided them with any info' of "supposed" problem, nor can they offer a solution. Have reported this problem 3 times - no action, an no concern either, in my opinion.
The headlights do not illuminate the road enough. Very dim and cannot even tell where cut off line is. Even with fog lights on, it is unsafe to drive at night.
Vehicle headlights fail to illuminate properly at night. Check with 2 different gmc dealers they say they are aware of the issue but no resolution is coming. Vehicle is not driveable at night on dark roads.
Headlights are inadequate on low beam without the use of the lower driving/fog lamps. Lower lamps needed to light sides of road. When switching to high beams, lamps are totally useless. Beam is focused way too high and narrows. Without lower fog lamps on with high beams, there is no illumination of the road sides or lower pavement from 5-30/50 feet out in front of vehicle. This is serious issue when driving on rural highways or county roads at night or on open interstates. Unable to see any wildlife or pedestrians on side or in front of vehicle when driving at night.
Headlights do not provide adequate illumination for night driving.should be considered a safety hazard to occupants and others on the road.poor design and/or specifications on gm's part to allow the usage of this headlamp configuration on any vehicle on the road today. This issue needs to be addressed and resolved asap.
Defective headlights. Very poor visibility when driving after sundown. Unsafe to drive my truck at night. $42,000 and dealer has no fix. Also no responsefrom gm. Have appointment to see my attorney.
Headlight performance during night time driving is poor and unsafe at highway speeds in rural areas.
The headlights on my 2014 gmc sierra 1500, that i bought last week, are extremely weak.they have no projection to the sides of the road and only project forward maybe 30 ft.at 55 mph at night is asking for an accident to happen. I haven't driven it in rain or snow yet and not looking forward to that.gm needs a recall before winter sets in.
Poor illumination, after a few days the lights have been adjusted the light points very low that its almost imposible to see at night while driving at normal road conditions and with a good weather.
These head lights are so badyou can only see 50 feet in front of you on low beam at best and on high beam the lights seem to shine are in the trees. I am so sorry i did not test drive at night. Please help fix this issue before someone is hurt.my 2011 sierra was 100 % better.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the headlights on vehicle failed to illuminate properly. The headlights were dim and impaired the contact's vision. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the headlights were dim and caused poor visibility of the road. The dealer adjusted the headlights higher; however, the visibility worsened. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.
Gasoline smell - stopped - stepped into a puddle of raw fuel - fuel gushing out from underneath the truck - stopped engine - moved away and called dealer.
I temporarily had no control over the vehicle causing me to have an accident. While driving down a residential street approaching a stop sign intersection i merged into the center of st to pass a trashcan and in the process of returning to my correct position on the road i suddenly had no steering.panicking from the loss i pressed my brakes an attempt to bring vehicle to a stop but was unsuccessful because the tires began a slide once noticing the traction loss i proceeded to release brakes and reapply in hopes of gaining traction the brief relief from brakes caused the vehicle to regain traction and while i still have no control over steering, the vehicle jerks towards the right side of the road and the brakes being reapplied the vehicle continues to slide off pavement making contact with stop sign and telephone pole.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While attempting to stop the vehicle, a knocking sound was heard and the contact felt a jolt from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and it was determined that 3/4 fuel levels in the fuel tank caused the failure. The dealer stated that the vehicle was performing as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 3,000. Updated 6/11/15 updated 7/16/2015
While passing a vehicle i lost all electrical power which in turn caused the vehicle to lose power. This same thing has happened several times at low speeds. I have the vehicle scheduled for july 2 to get looked at. The engined revved extremly high and it seemed like the transmission went into neutral. It then restarted. I had to roll the driver's window down and got a stabili trak light that came on after the incident.
Radiator has micro-holes which leaks coolant. Engine code p0455 with no gm mechanics able to find a solution to the engine code.
Fuel vaccuum sensor keeps telling me to tighten gas cap. Engine light comes on perioadiclly. According to my mechanic, dirt gets in near where you fill gas. Sensor and filter need to be replaced by updated gm. The vaccuum sensor and filter need to be replace and reroute line above transmission instead of truck body. Dealer part cost $477.00. Should this be a recall situation?
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle lost acceleration and the steering ability seized. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, waited a few minutes, and then drove home. The vehicle was taken to musson-patout automotive group (214 us 90 frontage rd, new iberia, la 70560) where it was diagnosed that the fuel injectors failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.
From time to time the vehicles power system will surge, blink, and generally act up. The priblem is intermittent. The check engine light will come in then go off, the engine has completely cut off several times while driving, the transmission acts up, radio will turn off, 120v outlet will turn off, occasionally the vehicle will fun for 5-15 seconds after being turned off and then sputter off. And 95% of the time the truck is absolutely fine.
Whwn driving on highway at 60 mph - tried to pass accident scenetruck tac started reving.speed dropped to 25-30 mph.pushing accelorator only reved the engine more with no increase in speed.burning smell.dealer unable to find cause.happened twice.
The part broke in half at low speed while i was driving in a construction area (my own driveway being installed) i hit something and the metal casing of the axle where it attaches to the front diff. Broke in half. I am 60 years old my wife was in the truck i was going so slow the speedometer was on 0. The dealer said the part was cracked by the impact. This is supposed to be a heavy duty 4x4 p/u, if i was going at 40 mph off road what would have broke and what would have been the result? i think the metal of the casing was flawed and i am afraid to keep the truck. The dealer said this isn't a warranty issue i had to put a claim into my ins. This is not only a concern for safety but for financesas well. I paid $44,000. Cash for this truck, it is the sierra slt not only a 4x4 but it has 20" rims for added height. This was not hit hard enough to crack a steel casing. The truck is at a gmc/buick dealer in mount dora fl. They said it might take awhile to find the parts to fix it. I do not think gmc makes cheap trucks or dangerous trucks but i think after this gets fixed i will be looking into trading it.
The factory installed head lights are so bad that you can barely see at night one of the worst most dangerous issues i've ever seen on a vehicle please let me know how we can remedy the situation
I have taken my truck into the dealer 3 times for clunking during shifting and losing power between 30-45 mph when attempting to accelerate in traffic.i have been told by the dealer that gmc says this is normal for my truck.it is not normal for these problems.i have researched this issue on the internet and it has been identified as a problem with the active fuel management system controlled by the computer module to achieve expected gas mileage demanded by the government.i paid $42,000 dollars for this truck brand new.i shouldn't be having this occur.i owned a 1995 gmc extended cab that is still on the road with 215,000 miles.this truck has only 23,000 miles after 2 years of ownership.
My truck has 158,000 miles and had to have a new transmission put in as it was having problems accelerating, grinding and sounding like i was going over rumble strips.
Excessive vibration at highway speeds. Manufacturer is aware but has no solution.
Radiator is leaking from the top with only 67,000 miles and transmission shifts hard and when u let off gas while driving about 55 the rpms go down to idle then start bouncing up 500rpms then back down. Then eventually will find a gear to go in
For over 45k miles i have complained off a vibration coming from the rear of my gmc sierra at 65 to 75 miles per hour. My supporting dealer that i purchased it from can't find the problem and is most likely out of business.this is an ongoing issue. Recently i went under the truck to find the entire frame is rusted from the gas tank back to the rear off the vehicle around the spare tire and elsewhere. Whats wrong with gm manufacturing, are they that cheap, that no paint is place on the frame. Additionally the chrome wheels that came with the vehicle are corroding yet another cheap process that gm refuses to address. Mind you i have always fixed and repaired my own vehicles. I have washed this vehicle so much by using a cold water hose under the vehicle and the top as well to get the salt and brine used by the northern states off the car and yet i still get the corrosion. How do i get gm. To fix the wrongs they have produced.
Driving down the highway one day around 65mph the vehicle began to shudder violently, reducing my speed to less than 45mph all the way home (all the while still shuddering) i took it to a well known transmission shop "whitty transmissions" in oak ridge nj only to have them drop the pan and find the transmission flooded with metal chips costing me a $3900+ rebuild. My transmission failed at 87,000 miles
At speeds highway speeds 50 and above the truck can shack horrible causing to apply vehicles hazards and pulling off the road for feeling like the truck is coming apart with the fear of loosing control of the vehicle. The horrible shack cause nauseaand dizziness. I have replaced wheels and tires, shocks, re aligned and balanced multiple times nothing has fixed the issue. Will be in touch with a gmc dealer about this situation .
The vehicle's transmission makes clunking sounds, and jerking movements when accelerating and decelerating (highway). When stopped on an incline the vehicle drifts backward, once your remove your foot off the brake (street). The vehicle has rolled backwards while it was fully parked and unoccupied.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated while approaching a stop sign, the vehicle began to shake forcefully. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer liberty buick gmc (9028 e independence blvd, matthews, nc 28105, (704) 708-8000) however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated he continued to experience the failure. The contact also stated while driving at low speeds, there was an abnormal sound coming from the front driver's side wheel axle. The vehicle was taken back to liberty buick gmc where the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was then taken to griffin buick gmc (2500 w roosevelt blvd, monroe, nc 28110, (704) 289-3135) where it was diagnosed with needing the front driver's side strut to be replaced. The vehicle was taken back to liberty buick gmc and the repairs completed. The contact also stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, he heard an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. The contact stated he had the tires replaced and an alignment performed but continued to hear the abnormal sound. The vehicle was taken back to liberty buick gmc and the contact was informed that the gearbox needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 87,000.
I own a 2014 gmc sierra and the air conditioning condenser has gone out. This should be a recall since so many gmc & chevrolet are having the same problem and no help is being offered to us. What a disappointment from gmc. If i would of been notified of this defect i would have never purchased these truck. Now i'm driving around in 110 degrees with my little son. Recall and fix this.
Service 4wd would pop up on my screen everytime i started my truck for the last two days going to work. When i go slow around turns then the truck would almost stop. Found out that it is the actuator and my 4wd is trying to go into 4-low automatically. Dealership could not fit me in for a week, so i took it a transmission place because this is my work truck and now have all my tools in my wife's acadia. I have a 32 ft ladder on my truck that i'm going to need asap and can't put on wife's acadia so i could not wait on the dealership to fit me in. All trans transmission place has had it since 3 pm on july 7th and i just paid $438 for a part and i'm up to three shop hours so far that i have to pay for when i pick it up hopefully tomorrow, which will include the additional shop hours in installing the new actuator. This is getting expensive and there is no recall for this part that i've seen, but should be included in the manufacturer warranty. I can provide all receipts once i get them.
Vehicle has shudder, wobble and vibration when being driven at speeds 40-80. Gmc has diagnosed as a tire issue but vehicle has been seen 14+ times and tires have all been road force balanced, numerous times. Gmc refuses to diagnose further and has not identified the cause of the problem. Vibration has affected other components. Commonly reported problem affecting 2014 gmc sierra trucks based on internet search.
Takata recall, the automatic locks keeps locking and unlocking on their own,whether it's parked or driving. Takata recall, the transmission shutters and rough shifting when slowing down or taking off,however the worst seems to be when slowing down

I was driving on the interstate and a message stating "service stabilitrack" message appears simultaneously with the check engine light and service traction control, the car loses the ability to accelerate and maintain speed. I kept driving because there was no safe place to stop, and after a few miles the door locks unlocked then locked, the info screen flashed and then the engine revved and appeared to drive normally.several miles later it happened again, over and over.when i reached my nieghborhood the car completely powered off.
My 2014 gmc sierra pressure control solenoid went bad. Took it to knight automotive, inc., in plattsburgh, ny for repair. After repair i drove home only to be told by bill delord gmc in lebanon, oh - and boercherding gmc in cincinnati, that the entire transmission was destroyed. Knight put my family at risk by improperly repairing my vehicle.
I purchased my vehicle brand new in order to avoid unexpected expenses that one sometimes inquire when we purchase a used vehicle. However, the truck has given me nothing but mechanical issues i've head engine power loss problems, have gone through two air conditioner major issues, radiator gone bad, transmission go out and the most recent my roof started to leak. As i did more research i came to discover that i am not the only customer in this predicament there are several others. I'm reaching out to for assistance in regards to these matters, something has to be done gmc has to take responsibility for faulty vehicles if that's is the case. They only give the go around to customers like myself that on top of having a car payment we have to somehow pay high mechanical bills for issues that should not be accruing to new vehicles.
Radiator has micro-holes which leaks coolant. Engine code p0455 with no gm mechanics able to find a solution to the engine code.
I have had to replace my condensing unit two different times.once at 75,000 miles, which was covered by my extended warranty that i purchased, not by gm, and the other broke at 107,000 miles in the exact same spot, which i had to pay for.this is a joke!i have also had to replace my oil cooling lines two different times, which were also not covered under warranty.

Automatic transmission totally failed while entering unto interstate highway.was able to pull off highway onto exit ramp partially blocking ramp until wrecker arrived.required complete rebuild
While slowing down at traffic truck felt like it was super heavy and kept going, brake pedal got hard and could not press down. Ac went out on me twice do to bad compressor and had to repair at dealer.transmission knocks when slowing down and hard shifts like its going to break. Also visibility is poor on vehicle when driving at night as the light are very dim. Had to buy alternate lights but still dim.
I was driving down the road and all of the sudden it was if my transmission disengaged and my car lost power. It then automatically came back on and the 'service stabilitrak' lights came on. I nearly avoided an accident and was able to pull off onto the side of the road.

Intermittently, when applying the brakes to stop for a red light, the engine wants to keep the vehicle going at the same speed and fights the brake so the vehicle cannot stop.shifting the gear shift into neutral allows the brakes to work but the engine rpm revs up to 2500 rpm for about 15 seconds before dropping to idle.if the driver didn't apply the brakes hard enough or shift into neutral, the vehicle would overpower the brakes and drive into anything ahead.analogy:it acts as if the cruise control was on (and it's not) and tried to keep the same forward speed no matter the brake application.dealer cannot reproduce the problem, no alert warning light.some times, going at highway speed, taking foot off accelerator and expecting vehicle to start slowing down, it stays at same speed for about 15 secondsbefore dropping rpms.this has been happening, intermittently, for a few months.

2014-2015 gmc sierras were produced with a known faulty a/c condenser with a bad weld that causes an a/c system leak requiring replacement. There has been an overwhelming failure of the product across the country, so bad so that it even made the news. Gm became aware of this issue and sent new (properly produced) condensers to their production lines first, leaving hundreds of gmc owners without a/c over the summer. They put out a "special recall" on a very small number of vins saying it "may" happen in other vins. There is an overwhelming volume of complaints online (including myself) where gm is acknowledging this issue but refusing to cover the replacement cost of their faulty part for hundreds of owners having this issue. This repair cost me a little over $1300. In the same service visit for my ac condenser it was identified that my radiator was leaking. This was due to a faulty thermostat causing stress fractures in the radiator causing coolant to leak. This issue has also been identified by gm however only a select few vin's received warranty recalls. My total repair cost to fix both issues was in excess of $4000. Both problems are known to gm yet they have not remedied the issue for everyone.
The traction control is not working. On wet pavement it spins sideways out of control. Definitely a safety issue acknowledged by the dealer but after 5 straight weeks of working on the problem, gm says it's normal. This will get someone killed.

The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While the vehicle was in the park position, the four wheel drive service light illuminated without warning. The contact was unable to disable the four wheel drive. The vehicle was taken to be diagnosed by a dealer, but the issue recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 20,000.
The seatbelts in the rear seats do not fit children properly. My son is currently the age of 9 and is approximately 100 lbs. So he no longer can use a booster seat, however the seatbelt is still not placed accross his chest appropriately when riding in the vehicle. With recommendations to have children ride in the back seat,a s it is safer for them, it would be nice to have a sliding seatbelt retractor like the front seats passenger and driver. I am hopeful that when manufacturering an y new models this could be achieved to make our children safer as a passenger in a motor vehicle.
I received a recall notice from gmc that the flexible steel cable that connects the driver's seat belt to the outboard side of the seat (the "tensioner cable") can fatigue and separate over time as a result of occupant movement into the driver's seat. I received a second notice that the parts are now available to repair my vehicle. I scheduled an appointment accordingly and checked with the dealer prior to arrival. I have now been waiting for well over 2 hours and i just found out that the part is not in stock and the recall can not be fixed. I have attached the work order and my receipt which shows that the work was performed when in fact it has not been completed. I am now at risk and have no trust in the dealership service center.
Driver seat belt locks unexpectantly unable any slack to be able to move to safely change lanes to verify no cars in blind spot
The contact drove a 2014 gmc sierra 1500 company vehicle. While the contact was attempting to fasten the front driver's side seat belt, the lap belt cable from the floorboard fractured in two pieces. The contact called linwood chevrolet buick gmc (2007 state route 45 north, mayfield, ky 42066, (270) 228-2606) and attempted to schedule an appointment, but the dealer stated that they would call the contact back. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer and was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and stated that they would extend the warranty to repair the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.
Gm seat belt recall was performed but the dealer at gm's direction hacked the interior trim piece to correct defect. This is a different fix than they perform on the unsold models and is not acceptable or ethical on a truck that cost +30,000.00
I took my truck in to the local gmc dealership for the recall fix and they ask if i wanted a diagnosis on the truck for a charge . I said yes cause i had a check engine light on and service air bag light on. Which they both came on a week after i bought it. So the service advisor told me that the belt tensioner is out on the drivers side and that the wiring under the drivers seat is messed up. And they told me some other things that were wrong with my truck that i have since found out were false. But i asked him if the seat belt and working issue is covered under a safety warranty. And he said no and to fix your truck it will be 5400 dollars. I have found out that there is a recall on these items and the recall number is 15522. So i would like to find out if i'm or the services advisor. Thanks

I temporarily had no control over the vehicle causing me to have an accident. While driving down a residential street approaching a stop sign intersection i merged into the center of st to pass a trashcan and in the process of returning to my correct position on the road i suddenly had no steering.panicking from the loss i pressed my brakes an attempt to bring vehicle to a stop but was unsuccessful because the tires began a slide once noticing the traction loss i proceeded to release brakes and reapply in hopes of gaining traction the brief relief from brakes caused the vehicle to regain traction and while i still have no control over steering, the vehicle jerks towards the right side of the road and the brakes being reapplied the vehicle continues to slide off pavement making contact with stop sign and telephone pole.
This is in regards to safety recall 15822 (http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs/jaxrs/download/doc/ucm517394/rcsb-16v209-2391.pdf) for gm sierra 1500 trucks. The repair is extremely poor and requires the dealership to mutilate an interior piece of the vehicle by cutting it with a razor blade. I wouldn't have had this safety recall completed if i knew ahead of time how poorly gm would have made the repairs. Please keep in mind, this experience is shared by everyone who has had this recall performed, and many people are opting out due to the poor handling by gm.also, to make things worse ... Gm will properly repair their own vehicles if they are unsold, or on the dealer lot. Instead of hacking up the interior, they replace the trim piece with a brand new part. This is done so that their new unsold vehicles don't have the heinously cut up interior piece that would obviously turn off a buyer. I believe gm's solution for new and currently owned trucks should be the same. Current owners should not have to accept this extremely poor solution from gm. If you do not accept this poor solution because you do not want them to hack up your truck, they require you to decline the recall. Gm needs to have an acceptable solution for current owners, like they have for their unsold trucks.gm forum posts discussing this recall:http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/forum/186-2014-2015-2016-silverado-sierra-issues-troubleshooting-recallsservice-bulletins/http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/189628-seat-belt-recall/page-4
Rear seat belt is not retracting properly.slack remains in the seat belt when fastened.occupant has to manually feed the belt into the opening to allow the belt to tighten, but any time the occupant move, causing the belt to extend, there is slack introduced again, the seat belt ratchet will not retract the slack, and the belt does not remain firmly in place.this happens in all driving conditions, parked or moving.

In late 2015, i began to feel the driver's seat loosen as i would go around a corner.at my next oil change at the dealership, i reported it.i was told that gmc would be sending new bolts to repair the problem.here we are, july 2016 and my seat is loose.going around turns, starting or stopping, my seat is moving.when i confronted an automobile tech, he said i need to start calling gm and hounding them.i believe this situation is getting serious and they know about the situation but are not responding.
If you raise the rear seat head restraints, they easily go back down.there is no locking in a higher position.also they do not go up high enough to support an adult or someone about 5ft 6in or higher.there is also no head restraint in the middle back seat.i am very concerned these issues could cause serious injury to rear seat occupants in an accident.
Had the heated seats turned on one day, all of a suded felt a really hot sensation on my lower back.i turned them offthought it was just gett to hot. Got in the truck a couple of days later. The heated seat element burned a hole right thru the leather, even melted a spot on my sweater.dealer said they have never heard of this issue only $800 for new covers and heat elements. My brother has a silverrodo same year,his heated seats stoped working all ready also.
First noticed at about 65000 miles.when braking in stop-and-go traffic or in reverse (especially down an incline such as a boat ramp), the brakes can become very hard to press and non-responsive.this results in long stopping distances.had the truck inspected by dealer and they suggested vacuum pump.after researching this issue, there appears to be a general issue with the vacuum pumps that gm will replace under warranty, but has not recalled....
When braking at slow speeds, like when idling in traffic or rolling through a parking lot, when the brake pedal is depressed it is very hard, like when pressing the brake pedal with the vehicles engine off. At times i have had to used both feet to press the brake pedal the try and stop the vehicle.the vehicle is also very hard to stop when this issue occurs.
Hard braking required to stop vehicle at low speeds. No braking at low speed.
We had the vehicle recall notice about the stability and power assist repaired at our preferred gm dealership, james wood, before the problem occurred because of a recall notice we received last year.sunday, january 30, 2018 the dash displayed power assist limited and also displayed abs light . Service engine soon, so we brought it to the dealership again.this time the vehicle was revving high but no display. The dealership observed the vehicle doing this but we were told the recall had already been performed.there is a revised product safety recall reference number n172085440.i'm alerting the nhtsa of this.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 20 mph, the steering wheel seized and veered independently. In addition, several unknown warning indicators illuminated. The contact was able to regain control after depressing the brake pedal. The failure recurred and the stability trac, and the service trailer brake warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that a excessive voltage drop resulted in a loss of power with the manual trailer brake, the bcm, electronic bcm, ecm, steering. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,416.
Due to a problem with brake booster vacuum sensor and brake booster large vacuum leak, extra pressure is needed to apply brakes. Brakes are essentially non existent in vehicle. Problem diagnosed by dealer. Dealer states this is not a normal problem with the braking system. This is a safety issue especially when driving and this unexpectedly happens. Vehicle was in motion when this happened driving at approximately 45 mph. I understand this was a similar problem with the 2014 malibu. Replacement parts are on order unknown when expected due to this not being a part regularly replaced (per dealer).
Brakes loose pressure, when pressed on uphill/down hill,in reverse.ac hose from condenser to compressor is faulty leak out all fluid
I lost the use of my brakes at low speed today, the pedal became extremely hard and needed increased effort to depress the brake pedal, took to a gmc dealer they couldn't recreate the same issue and they are returning my vehicle without any repairs.
Two different times being at low speed almost a roll. Went to apply brakes and truck barley stopped. Hard brake pedal, brake pedal to the floor. Once on a highway in extreme heavy traffic on a down hill. Second time rolling making a turn to park in a parking lot and almost struck police car and a gas pump.
While in motion, applied brakes and the pedal went to the floor without stopping. Checked brake fluid and it was near empty.only 50,000miles.
Hard brake pedal atlow speeds. Forward or reverse
On several occasions spanning multiple years the truck loses power while braking and turning at slow speeds. On more rare occasions, but still numerous, the same problem occurs when braking at higher speeds without turning. The truck dash lights, media screen and headlights all dim or flicker as a ticking or popping noise is heard behind the dash much like an arching electrical wire. Most of the time when these scenarios happen the display on the drivers display screen reads stabiltrak warning. Also when the problem occurs while turning and braking at low speeds the truck will completely lose power and power steering as well as assisted braking. Once the truck comes to a stop the ignition, and all electrical systems are completely unresponsive like the battery is dead. In order to start the truck again, i have to get out of the truck, open the engine hood and oscillate both the negative and positive battery cables. Most of the time the truck will start up after doing this. Sometimes i have to use booster cables to get it to start. Neither the cables or the terminal connectors are loose as they have been inspected by a dealer service tech and a local mechanic.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving at low speeds, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated that the brake pedal had to be depressed with force to operate correctly. The vehicle was taken to henson chevrolet buick gmc (201 n may st, madisonville, tx 77864, (866) 551-9977) where it was diagnosed that the brake booster vacuum pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,000. Consumer stated braking failure happened on the residence driveway.
At slow speed backing into a parking spot the break pedal turned really hard to press to stop the truck, it took a lot of force to stop it; shifted the truck into neutral to prevent hitting a pole, shifted the truck back to drive the truck was still showing the same problem the vehicle brake system was useless (unsafe) shifted back into neutral as pedestrians were walking by and used the emergency brake to stop the truck! please investigate into this issue the truck has less than 50k miles and all service is done at the dealership - after talking to them today they said the truck is out of warranty the potential cost to repair will be $2000
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 50 mph during inclement weather, the vehicle suddenly veered to the left and crossed over a lane. The vehicle spun 180 degrees and crashed into a ditch. The rear passenger wheel dislodged from the vehicle and was located approximately 150 yards from the crash sight. The air bag did not deploy and the driver sustained a bruised neck. Medical attention was not received. Police report number: spc32b7n80x was filed at the scene. The contact discovered that a 10-inch section of the brake rotor was missing from the vehicle. The vehicle was recently serviced for nhtsa campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes). The manufacturer and hudson gmc (2023 south rd, poughkeepsie, ny) were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,000.
Brake pedal became hard and was difficult to stop properly. I felt that i had no control over this vehicle. .i brought the truck to vail gmcin mt kisco ,ny on sept 22, 2017they said it was the vacuum pump and had to be replaced at the cost of $353.16. The vehicle only had 40256 miles on it just out of warranty. It was brought to my attention that this a real problem with this issue nationally. This is a potentially a dangerous condition and is unsafe.this braking problem was on the the city street and parking lot.
Driving at low speed in traffic on a highway, brakes failed then locked-up causing truck to skid and hit the car in front.
Had the recall for the low maneuver turning issue performed at a dealership when i had my oil changed on august 15, 2017.less than a week later the issue occurred when turning into the driveway and dealership will not honor my complaint to fix it. The statement i hear is "we can't duplicate the problem" but i'm telling them it happened. Either the procedure to rectify the recall isn't working or they didn't perform it correctly. I need help.
When truck is put in reverse, all power brakes are lost. Assumption is a fault vacuum pump
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While depressing the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, the pedal was very difficult to depress and the stopping distance increased. The vehicle was taken to abeloss gmc (1169 north 9th st, strougsburg pa, 18360) where it was diagnosed that the brake booster was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Rounding a corner at low speed and the a/c compressor locked up and stalled the engine. I lost steering and brakes nearly hit a pole. Search for this issue and you will see that gm has a known issue on the 2014 a/c units that they are doing nothing about
I have a hard brake pedal and reduced brake responsiveness.
Brake pedal got hard , the dash center gave no warning and still has no fault light or any brake warnings lights.we where driving on a city street ,when the brakes stopped working, driving through a red light because we couldn't stop the vehicle and popped the street curb,into an empty property lot
When applying brakes at low speed like pulling out of driveway or away from a gas pump.if the brakes are pumped or pressed hard the brake pedal gives strong resistance and the truck will not stop.in order to stop the truck the emergency brake needs to be applied.the problem is worsened if on a downward incline when taking the truck out of the park position and moving into drive while holding foot on the brake.
The brakes on my truck failed and i hit my brick mailbox. I took it to a service center and they said the vacuum pump was not producing enough pressure at low rpms.
Brakes suddenly lock and the peddle tobreak gets really stiff that when im trying to brake it does not work... I have had this issue happen to me twice already , i was able to avoid an accident because i used the emergency brake,,i was out of town and when i was arriving to the hotel my brake peddle locked and could not brake the parking concrete stopper prevented me from hitting thr building , i noticed that when i shut off tht truck and turn it back on thry work normal again and i am able to brake just fine this happens randomly , i can be on my normal routine for a month then all of a sudden the brake peddle gets stuck,, it looks like its a software glitch like the stability track turning on when its not supposed to , other people are having these issues with these trucks, please investigate..
While slowing down at traffic truck felt like it was super heavy and kept going, brake pedal got hard and could not press down. Ac went out on me twice do to bad compressor and had to repair at dealer.transmission knocks when slowing down and hard shifts like its going to break. Also visibility is poor on vehicle when driving at night as the light are very dim. Had to buy alternate lights but still dim.
Very hard brake peddle.limited to no braking ability when condition exists.going slow backing up with trailer, forward going slow.if foot on brake for extended time at stop light braking ability abates, peddle very very hard. Brakes unable to stop vehicle no matter how much pressure put on brake peddle.
My vehicle brakes become spongy or pedal goes all the way inand vehicle will struggle to stop at low speeds. Such as when i pull into a parking space or backing up.
The truck just shut off all electrical and dash controls as i went to turn into my driveway. Its done it to me twice so far in the last 3 weeks.. No brakes and no power steering.
Within about 15 months of ownership my vacuum pump on the brakes malfunctioned, while i was towing a pontoon boat.needless to say i was very scared that i was not going to be able to stop but eventually i slowed down enough to pull into a gas station in warsaw, in.luckily when this happened there were very few other vehicles out on the road otherwise this story may have a different ending.this happened on highway 15 in milford, in.
The vacuum assist pump on my 2014 gmc sierra went out suddenly during my morning commute. The brake pedal became very firm and the brakes were unresponsive.if i had been driving in an congested area an accident would likely occur.
Hard brake pedal at low speeds causing the truck to not stop. Dealership says a full brake system replacement is needed. I've serached online and there are several people having this same issue. It seems to be very common, but nothing is being done about it by gmc.
While driving my truck at slow speeds and applying brakes, the brake pedal will get hard and unable to stop vehicle.it has occurred while backing a trailer town hill towards a lake and i was unable to stop the truck only able to have friend block the tire so i could put in drive.it has occurred while approaching stop signs and also frequently in parking lots.
While in motion the brake pedal becomes hard, will continue to roll, and makes & feels like the brake pad are grinding.
Took it to the dealer for the recall on the abs breaks, and now it is doing exactly the same thing that it was recalled for. The recall was not helpful.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving various speeds, the vehicle hesitated to decelerate and the brake booster warning indicator illuminated.

No warning of brake failure especially when backing down a hill at low r.p.m with a boat trailer. This is a very dangerous problem that needs to be addressed a.s.a.p. No warning lights were displayed and no issues before this happened. I'm just glad it was me and not someone else ( wife ) backing us in the water. Please address this as a very serious issue. Someone could have lost their life
At slow speeds the brake pedal becomes " flat" that is to say there is no travel or give in it and you must apply 110% force to get the vehicle to stop. I almost drove thru the garage door at the local jiffy lube dealer. Had the local gmc dealer look at it & he could not find a solution to the problem.
When driving i went to slow down and couldn't push in the break at all. I couldn't even pump the brakes i had to slam it into park just to avoid hitting the car in front of me
While backing up into parking space, truck felt like it was pushing something. Brake peddle became hard and when not stop truck, causing vehicle to hit pole and damage both the truck and the pole.

Vacuum pump on brakes went out while driving downhill in a canyon. Could have been a lot worse if weather conditions were not good.
Lost normal braking going down a steep hill at 25 mph , had to use both feet on the brake pedal just to stop.
This occurrence happened in the spring of 2018.i had exited the highway after a 25 minute drive and sat in a long line to enter a ballpark.the wait in this slow moving line may have been a half hour.in this half hour, i would let off the brake to roll forward and reapply the brake.it was mostly down hill so the gas pedal was unnecessary.when we payed for parking, we were asked to pull over to the side of the road, pointing in the wrong direction for parking.the vehicle was put in park.after issues were resolved, i put the vehicle in drive and turned around for parking.it was here that i pressed the gas pedal to get back in line, but when i hit the brake as i entered my spot, the brake refused to stop the vehicle.i continued to press the brake, bracing my back against the seat back rest, and could feel us slowing, but not to the degree i was pressing the brake pedal for.no accident occurred and the speed i was slowing down from couldn't have been more than 15 mph.as we entered the parking lot, the problem continued.i could only slow the vehicle by bracing against the brake pedal.i could not get the vehicle to sudden stop from a rolling speed.i reversed into my parking spot, put the vehicle in park, applied the parking brake, and shut off the engine.when i returned from the ball game, i started the vehicle back up, took off the parking brake, put it in drive and tested the brakes in the parking lot.the brakes functioned like normal.depressing the brakes hard would make the vehicle suddenly stop.i have not had this issue since.i have not returned to the ballpark yet, but i have been in traffic jams and been to other entertainment events which would simulate the same situations.
Brake pedal randomly requires significantly higher pressure to slow/stop the vehicle, particularly at slow speeds. Has happened 2-3 times over the past year and this week is occurring more frequently; even daily.
On 2/12/19 i was driving down a busy street at about 1:30pm i was trying to apply my breaks and i could not stop there was no breaks. I had to swerve into a little street to avoid crashing into another vehicle. I put my truck into park to stop my vehicle from crashing. I had my truck towed to my mechanic and my vacuum pump had to be replaced. Which that is part of my breaking system. The reason i'm making this complaint is because this could have ended up in a fatality which i want to avoid. This part needs to be recalled and all vehicles need to be checked before this happens to someone else. Because it happened to me it can happen to anyone that owns this vehicle. My truck had low miles only 76,470. This issue needs to be addressed immediately.
2014 gmc sierra vacuum pump failure at 81,201 miles. This seems to be an epidemic with these trucks. I tow an 8,000 pound trailer and to think the truck brakes could potentially not work is insanity. How does gm make the steering electric on this truck and put electric vacuum pumps on the camaro's and corvettes but decides to put a mechanical vacuum pump on the trucks? this is an immediate safety defect that needs to be addressed.
2014 gmc sierra 1500 denali pick-up truck with 67,900 miles: experienced complete loss of power brakes in stop-n-go traffic situation on highway.problem started as an rare issue that would correct itself and progressively got worse over a week's time.issue occurred when in traffic requiring frequent stop-n-go braking. Brake pedal went completely to the floor and stopping distances dramatically increased.had no way to manually apply the brakes to get them fully engaged.ultimately forced to shift into neutral and apply parking brake to stop.subsequently found gm bulletin #pit5361b referring to other customer problems with weak vacuum at brake booster.that problem was confirmed and diagnosed by my automotive professional.ended up having to replace brake master cylinder, vacuum booster, vacuum pump, vacuum tube/pipe and 2 serpentine belts for a grand total of $1626.00 in repair work (similar amount to the others i found who experienced this issue).talked to my gmc dealer who confirmed that this is a recognized issue that hasn't yet risen to the level of a "safety recall".however, i was told "stay tuned" because they wouldn't be surprised if a recall on the power brake system was right around the corner.
This issue relates with a recent recall with the gm brake system (nhtsa campaign number: 19v645000 / gm recall number: n192268490). The recall fix by gm fails to fully fix the problem as additional repairs are required to make the vehicle safe again.the incident began when going down a hill at low speed. A message came on the dash that said "service brake assist" and the brakes seemed to lose power which required the driver the use both feet to push down on the brake pedal to prevent a crash into the car in front. The brakes regained normal function for a while then a few miles later the same problem occurred. This went on for for a while longer until the need to use both feet to achieve full stopping power was permanent. Driver pulled over and, through an internet search, discovered many others had the same problem and a recall had been issued. An appointment was made with a local gm dealer and the vehicle was dropped off for repair.the gm dealer called the driver and informed him that additional repairs, beyond the recall instructions, were required for the vehicle's brakes to function adequately and safely. This included replacing the booster pump, brake pads, to "reline the frt brakes as needed."
Driving at 55 miles per hour lost brake functions.was able to slow down on side of high ,and had truck towed to nearest shop. Found that vacuum pump and belt were broken .ver concerned that a belt brakes and you can not stop.have reported issie to gmc
At low speed stopping i have no breaks, backing up down a boat ramp with a boat i have no brakes. I had the the abs module and pump changed out and still have the same problem.
Brake pedal became very stiff and unresponsive at low speed. Almost hit another vehicle. Had to use emergency brake to come to complete stop. Online forums say brake vacuum pump.
Vacuum pump for power brake assist went out. Vehicle only has 58000 miles at the time. I lost power brakes while backing up in a gas station causing me to nearly strike a gas pump. Had i not thought fast and depressed my emergency brake i would have struck the pump.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 15 mph, the brake pedal was depressed upon coming to a red light but failed to respond without warning. The contact was able to stop the vehicle after downshifting and depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake assist failed and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000. The vin was not available.
Intermittent extreme loss of braking power - in forward and reverse.sometimes and unexpectedly cannot stop quickly even when brake pedal pushed to the floor.
Excessive hard brake pedal when driving at lower speed, almost got in accident while in traffic due to truck pedal getting hard and truck would not brake. It only happens al low speed or driving in parkinglots.
Some time traveling between 60-70 mph the truck has a vibration or something, but if i tap the break pedal it stops. I've had this four times on the interstate. Took truck to the dealer, they found no code listed. Just this weekend as i was exiting the interstate ramp to i-71 south the truck was slowing down and i had pull off the interstate. It was as if the braking system was being applied, truck would not move . Break pedal was very hard to press. I turned the truck offfora couple of minutes and restarted, pedal was still very firm but after pumping pedal, i heard this sound like you were passing gss yourself and then the petal was back to normal. I was lucky that this did not cause a wreck as my speed was being reduced to a slow speed having to pull on interstate.

The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000.
While tapping the brakes, the vehicle's headlights will dim.occasionally, while tapping the brakes, the entire dashboard (including the touchscreen) turn off and restart.on 6/18/18, while travelling on a highway at 40 miles an hour and approaching a red light, i applied the brakes and the entire car shut down, including thepower steering, power brakes, and engine.i had to place the car into neutral and turn it back on in order to brake in time.
While tapping the brakes, the vehicle's headlights will dim occasionally. 2 times now while tapping the brakes, the entire dashboard (including the touchscreen) turn off and restart. The first time was travelling on a highway and the second time was on my driveway, i applied the brakes and the entire car shut down, including the power steering, power brakes, and engine. That time i rolled out of my driveway and into the road. I was lucky no one was coming
Comingto a stop in a parking lot the brake pedalbecame very hard and would not stop the forward motion ofthe truck. The truck hit the curb stopping its forward motion. No damage to the the truck. I had the problem diagnosedas a badbrake vac pump.the pump was replaced for 496.00 . The truck only had 26000 miles , i have told that this is not that uncommon.
All happened same day.was 8 hours from home and pulling into parking spot and the brakes went to the floor 3 times.has not occurred since.but when that happened the air started blowing warm and the service driver assist came on briefly.still air is blowing warm and the service driver assist comes on. Have never had a check engine light come on.i am having it checked out this week.
I seem to lose braking power at low speeds after pumping the brakes a couple of times. In order to stop i need to use much more force
When brakes were applied the truck would not stop, truck was just out of warranty byweeks, independent shop replaced the vacuum air pump for the brake system. I was lucky that i was moving very slow ,in a parking lot, no one was hurt and no damage to the truck.
My brake pedal gets hard with no brakes if i happen to be in a situation where i apply the brakes several times quickly, such as at the carwash or in a parking lot.the abs was not firing at the time.i was not turning.this has happened a number of times in the past 2 years.
Intermittently, when applying the brakes to stop for a red light, the engine wants to keep the vehicle going at the same speed and fights the brake so the vehicle cannot stop.shifting the gear shift into neutral allows the brakes to work but the engine rpm revs up to 2500 rpm for about 15 seconds before dropping to idle.if the driver didn't apply the brakes hard enough or shift into neutral, the vehicle would overpower the brakes and drive into anything ahead.analogy:it acts as if the cruise control was on (and it's not) and tried to keep the same forward speed no matter the brake application.dealer cannot reproduce the problem, no alert warning light.some times, going at highway speed, taking foot off accelerator and expecting vehicle to start slowing down, it stays at same speed for about 15 secondsbefore dropping rpms.this has been happening, intermittently, for a few months.
While exiting highway i attempted to come to stop and my brake pedal was extremely stiff and i had to put hard pressure into brake to come to a complete stop before rear ending the vehicle in front of me. Luckily, i was able to stop before a collision occurred. I was able to get to my destination on city streets, but my brake pedal remained extremely stiff. I was very close to causing multiple accidents due to this brake issue.
On two separate occasions, each at the end of a two hour drive, i was pulling into a parking space and lost all power to my brakes.they did not depress to the floor, they seemed to almost push back.at that point i pushed harder and the brake pushed to the floor.in both instances i almost hit the parked cars next to me.due to not having proper braking i had to back up and pull back in, brakes continued to do the same thing.after coming back to my truck in both instances, once after a week at the airport and another after a four hour appointment, my brakes worked fine.this happened on july 16, 2018 and april 11, 2019.
My 2014 gmc sierra is having a major brake issue. I replaced the brake pads after being told the padding was low. This did not fix the problem. My truck does not slow down when braking on a hill. I read in another article that the vacuum pump goes out at a low rpm, causing the truck not to stop. Unfortunately,my wife was driving my truck down the driveway, and couldn't stop. This issue almost caused her to hit another vehicle that was passing at the end of the driveway.
I came up to an intersection,pressed my brakes,and they were hard to press causing me to run the red light and almost hit another vehicle.even if a part fails,this should not be an outcome.brake petal so hard you can't get the vehicle stopped.
Takata recall. Driving through the smoky mountains brake pedal went all the way to the floor and didnt stop. I released pedal and pressed again and it was very firm and hard to get the truck to slow down/ stop. When this occurred the system showed no signs of system failing. If was a very scary situation with having my family in the truck with me. Im very thankful that it didnt end a lot worse like it could have. All in all i drove 4 hours to gatlinburgwith no signs of issues and for it to just go out without a warning something needs to be done.
Was in driveway, started the car and then put foot on the brake to shift into drive.as soon as i was in drive i began to roll forward even though my foot was still on the brake.i then had to really step on the brake (it was very hard to apply pressure) to get it to stop rolling.i then immediately placed it in park.this happened several more times throughout the day, only at low speeds, or when switching from the parked position to drive or reverse.this is extremely dangerous when trying to park (child could be injured in driveway) or slowing down in a parking lot or could cause a collision in traffic!
Major safety concern!: hard brakes at low speeds, intermittent stiff brakes in forward and reverse. 2014 gmc sierra slt crew cab 4wd, 40k miles. This is a very serious issue that could result in a collision, damage and/or injury. I have experienced this multiple times since purchasing this truck from the original owner in 2017. It has happened when parking, moving trailers, an maneuvering at low vehicle speeds. The brake pedal suddenly becomes stiff when depressing and has limited or no braking action unless applying extreme amounts of pressure on the brake pedal. I have driven vehicles without power brakes and this is not the same. It is as if the braking system is working against the input of the pedal in addition to the loss of power brake action. The most concerning event was experienced while backing a boat trailer into the water with two children in the back seat, buckled in child restraining car seats and pushing with both feet using all my strength to barely stop the truck and trailer from rolling all the way into the water. This was a true nightmare, and is the reason i am submitting this safety complaint. Had my wife been operating the truck or a person with weaker legs in the same situation, the issue could have been severely tragic. I cannot safely operate the vehicle until this is resolved. I am truly disappointed that this hasn't been turned into a recall based on the multitude of complaints on this very same issue. How many close-calls or near-misses does it take before nhtsa and a world-class vehicle manufacturer contain a major safety issue? i hope this issue gets the proper attention and a recall is mandated swiftly, before more people get hurt or worse.
Vacuum system on the breaks are loosing pressure causing the breaks to become nearly impossible to depress. I have run in to my fence causing minor damage. This happened when i was at a snails pace, couldn't imagine it happening at a higher speed gm is aware of the fix but at my cost of over 750.00. There have been numerous complaints to the dealerships and on gm forums. This problem needs to be addressed. I'm glad no one walked in front of me when this happened.
Was driving through dunkin donuts drive thru when lost my brakes.had to press the breakpedal as hard as i could to get the truck to stop. The truck continued to roll after doing so almost hitting car in front of me. Then sounded like abs pump kicked kn.then everything went back to normal.
Loss of brakes at low speed, forward and reverse. Brake pedal gets stiff and brakes barely stop the truck.
Loss of power brakes at low speed especially in traffic and parking with repeated application of brakes, pedal becomes very hard and requires much pressure to make vehicle stop, in reverse grinding is also heard. Mechanic says belt driven vacuum pump may be defective, other complaints and bulletins are stating all components must be replaced, i would think a $58000 truck should last more than 64k miles before needing all the major brake components changed. If you don't have very strong legs when this happens you are going to crash..should be a recall
Brake system will turn hard once pressed on. Abs system
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While the contact's wife was driving at 45 mph, she attempted to stop the vehicle; however, the brake pedal became difficult to depress and would not stop the vehicle. The contact's wife crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The contact's wife sustained minor injuries that consisted of whiplash. The contact's wife did seek medical attention. The other driver sustained bruised leg injuries nad it was unknown if medical attention was sought. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic where the cosmetic damages were repaired. The cause of the failure was undetermined. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The crash was not in relation to any open recall. The failure mileage was 102,000. The vin was unknown.
Brake pedal gets very stiff at low speed and low rpm. No collision has happened but close calls have happened.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While the contact was in stop and go traffic, the brakes failed. The contact was able to steer the vehicle over to the side of the road. The contact waited until the traffic cleared up and was able to drive at a normal speed with the brakes operating normally. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 117,500.
Brakes have not been working at slow speeds.this has been going on for a few years.brought it to a brake specialist who could not find the problem.researched it on the internet and found that many people were having problems with a similar issue.they thought it was a faulty vacuum pump.brought it to gmc beaman in nashville, tn and saw [xxx] (service advisor for beaman automotive).they reported they were not willing to fix the issue and that it would be close to $1000 to fix it.i find this unacceptable after doing research and finding that gmc's parts (not wear and tear) are more likely than not the etiology of the problem.i ask that the dealership be contacted regarding this given the obvious safety risk of the large vehicle not being able to stop.regards, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The problem has occurred twice in the last week. Both times in normal driving conditions and good weather conditions.while pulling in my driveway at low speed when i pushed on the brake pedal it was hard and would barely depress.there was no power assisted braking and it took me pressing as hard as possible with both feet to get my truck stopped before i hit my garage. This happened again when i was trailering my 1500 lb fishing boat. I was backing it down the ramp and brakes failed again. I had to again press brake pedal as hard as possible and use emergency brakes to stop. There was a noticeable grinding sound in the brakes while trying to stop. Again as if there were no power brakes. Both instances occurred while going 2 to 3 mph but if it happened in an area with pedestrians or at higher speeds it could result in serious property damage and injuries.please look into this and force gm to take corrective action asap.
Gm has a major problem with the vacum pump failing on the 2014 and up 1500 series trucks. Gm has issued a service bullentin pit5361 for this issue. When the vacum pump fails the brakes become almost impossible to apply. After researching the problem it is a very well known issue that many have had. My gmc started this at about the 49,500 mile spot and has caused me to strike a wall and almost a pedestrian in a parking lot. Thankfully i was on my toes and avoided hitting the pedestrian. Im a big man at about 265lbs. When the brakes fail to work i cant press the pedal hard enough with both feet to stop the vehicle. Im currently waiting on gm to return a call for assistance in fixing the problem as this is a costly fix. Braking is a vital and high safety feature on a vehicle. Why this hasnt been addressed before a family is killed is beyond me. Issuing a service bullentine instead a recall for such a vital part a vehicle is reckless.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving between 10-15 mph, the vehicle would not stop when the brake pedal was depressed. Beck & masten buick gmc north (11300 fm 1960 w, houston, tx 77065) stated that the vehicle was not included in any open recalls. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 57,000.
60k miles.service brake assist light came on after 1 hour drive.at low speeds, brake pedal is extremely difficult to depress (as if no power brakes on antique vehicle), truck does not stop as needed.diagnostic check from onstar does not show any code.
At low speeds braking is very hard can barely push in the brakes. Sometimes i have to use the emergency brake. Truck has 69,000 miles.at the brake place they said i had a bad vacuum for the brakes and is very common in this truck
The brake goes hard to push when driving or going in a drive thru that some time it does not want to stop
Braking at short distances. Vehicle continues to move after brake is depressed.
Brake pedal got hard and unable to stop
Brakes will just lock up and has already cause me a couple of wreaks, gm should really fix this brake issue..it's a safety issue for sure and they should be held responsible.. Gm seems to have gone to for crappy workmanship and poor customer service!!!!
Drove my vehicle about 15 miles and parked it in a parking lot for about 10 minutes. When i returned and backed out of the parking space the brake pedal would not compress much at all unless i pushed on it with some body weight for leverage and only then the vehicle barely stopped - was travelling at a very low speed but still very hard to stop the vehicle. I tried to pump the brake pedal, then carefully moved the vehicle a couple of times to test the brakes and the condition repeated. I then parked the vehicle and shut off the engine momentarily. The condition persisted when i restarted the vehicle. I started to drive the vehicle slowly and carefully in a loop around the parking lot pumping the brakes a couple times and the pedal finally returned to normal. Had i been on the highway when this condition occurred or had i been towing our 5k-lb trailer the consequences could have been catastrophic. Reading online the issue appears common in gm trucks from 2014 up and the cause was often a failing vacuum pump. I located a copy of a service bulletin published internally by gm discussing the issue and prescribing a repair procedure. The bulletin noted that if engine oil escaped past the seal(s) of the failing vacuum pump replacement of the brake booster, master cylinder, and vacuum line may be required in addition to the pump. Given the appearance of this as a common issue, fear of losing brakes again, and fearing that waiting may necessitate other braking components under the hood needing replacement if the oil seeped through the pump, i promptly replaced the vacuum pump. Following the repair procedure prescribed in the gm bulletin there was no engine oil noted in the vacuum line so no further parts were replaced other than the pump and gasket. Condition has not repeated after replacing pump 1k miles ago. Vehicle had approx. 65k miles when this condition occurred.
I was driving on the highway and noticed my brake peddle became hard. I was in mild traffic so i was only traveling around 40 miles mph on i 287i was not able to stop quickly. I did not get into an accident. I was able to get it to my dealer for repair. I was told that the vacuum pump needed to be replaced and parts of the pump were also sucked into the engine. I was also told that i would need to have the oil pan removed to remove any debris which would cost around $1100. At this time i still do not have the truck back or repair invoice. I have been researching and did see that there have been issues with the vacuum pumps on other gmc pickups. Fortunately i was not driving at a high speed at the time of the issue.
Breaks do not work at low speed in reverse, break pedal goes all the way to the floor and excessive pressure must be applied in order to stop vehicle, this is extremely unsafe due to low visibility when backing the vehicle.
I have had problems with my brakes for the last 3 years. I already had by brakes fixed my gm because of a bad squeak when pressing on my brakes. I recently just changed my master cylinder because the brake pedal would get stuck on certain occasions when driving. Sometimes having me to use the emergency brakes. Sometimes i would have the brake pedal all the way down and the truck would still keep moving. It would happen sporadically. Most of the time when i am driving in traffic or through a parking lot.
While backing slowly on a boat launch ramp, petal was depressed all the way and the tow vehicle did not stop immediately. Felt as though the petal was to the floor, vehicle rolled up to several feet before stopping. Towing roughly 6800 lb. Which is within specification limit for this specific vehicle.
When slowing down, the brake pedal on the vehicle would become hard to press. Once the break pedal became hard, it would take a longer distance to stop the vehicle completely. It happened at slower speeds, for example as i was pulling into a parking lot.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled and the stabilitrak warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the steering wheel and brakes seized. The contact powered off the engine while in traffic. The vehicle was restarted and drove normally. The contact stated that the failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to covert buick gmc (located at 11750 research blvd, austin, tx 78759, (512) 583-3411) where diagnostic testing was completed, but no failure code was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.
Brake assist failed with out warning, brake pedal gets hard, did first time at slow speed in reverse, extreme difficulty in stopping. Luckily was nothing behind me in parking lot. Found out common problem with vacuum pump failure in this year with average mileage around 80,000, i have 86,900 miles. Problem got continued after leaving parking lot when doing 30 mph tried to stop for traffic light, had to push pedal with extreme force to try and stop truck, again fortunately nothing in front of me, so there was no accident
At slow speeds brake pedal is hard to push and does not stop the vehicle. Almost caused multiple accidents at intersections not being able to stop vehicle from going out into traffic. Doing research this has happened on multiple gm vehicles from 2014.
Tried to stop tuck when parking. Brakes were extremely hard and truck came to a slow stop while i was mashing the breaks with all my might. There was break fluid all around right front tire. Dealership found engine oil in vacuum line of vacuum pump due to valve stuck in pump causing hard brake pedal. Replaced vacuum pump, pipe,brake booster and master cylinder, fluid.
Loss of braking at low speed while in reverse.occurred on at least two occasions just past expiration of bumper to bumper portion of vehicle warranty (see attached complaint letter to gm for details).dealer stated vacuum booster was defective and repair costs exceeded$400.00.gm home office was notified viz fedex letter.other than contacting me for basic information, no further contact was initiated by gm or delivering dealer.alleged defective part is in owner possession which gm was notified of as well.
When backing down a steep hill or back a boat down the boat ramp, the brake pedal get hard and the truck doesn't want to stop.driving on a flat surface i haven't had an issue but it is very scary backing the boat into the water feeling the brakes aren't doing its job.
"takata recall" driving truck down interstate and it just cutoff no steering no breaks all power shuts off. I wait till truck is stooped and try wigging key and make sure gearshift is in right position. After a few min lights come on the dash and the truck will start back up. It says in the notification area in dash let driver side window down and up again. This has happen twice and both times i was on a interstate almost hit by cars behind me. I was driving about 65 mph going straight most time it would do this if i change lanes.
Intermittent stalling, ( complete shut down at freeway speeds). No engine, no power steering or brakes, windows will not operate, no emergency flashers, no dash re-out,will not turn over. Happens at any time while in motion. Has placed myself, my wife & other drivers in danger numerous times.
The brake pedals becomes very stiff at low speeds and does not brake properly. I rear ended a vehicle at 15 miles an hour because the truck did not stop.
While driving went to stop at service station brakes would not work as they should ,had to push on pedal very very hard to stop almost ran over gasoline pump.dealer says it may be vac leak or pump.very bad situation dangerousgm should repair itmy dealer is mitchell buick gmc in san angelo tx
Brake pedal gets hard at red lights stopping power is reduced lack of power assistance
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 65 mph, the contact attempted to depress the brake pedal but it failed to respond. The contact had to apply extreme force to the brake pedal and shift the gear shifter into neutral in order to get the vehicle to stop. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the brake booster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 153,758.
At slow speeds and brake pedal requires immense force (~200lbs) to press and engage brakes. Significant grinding can be felt in the pedal. This often requires emergency brake usage to stop. Condition is intermittent. Occasionally happens in reverse occasionally forward with wheel turned or without.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 55 mph and attempting to stop, the braking system failed and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The driver downshifted and the vehicle coasted until stopped. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the failure was due to a failed vacuum pump belt in the braking system. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer (sun buick gmc inc, 3333 sunrise hwy, wantagh, ny) were both notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 91,000.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving various speeds, the steering seized and the stabilitrak warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000 the vin was not available.

The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 5 mph, the steering wheel seized before the vehicle accelerated. The contact drove the vehicle to wilson county chevrolet buick gmc (903 s hartmann dr, lebanon, tn 37090 (615) 444-9642). The contact was informed that the vehicle was included in an unknown recall and it was repaired for free. After the remedy, the vehicle was operable, but the failure recurred in less than 24 hours. The steering wheel seized a second time and excessive force on the steering wheel was used, but the wheel would not turn. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not serviced for the second failure. The failure mileage was 34,941.
The vehicle was in motion and took a turn the dashboard chimed and showed a "service stabilitrak", and redcution in power steering, and hvac went off and came back on and i lost power steering. Everything flashed and flickered. Upon further assessment at my house stationary turning the wheel reactivated the problems and it was also noticed that the lights would flicker and go dim along with the dashboard lights. Looked up some recalls and saw some recalls on 2014 gmc sierra with loss in power steering, however my vehicle was not included in that. I have a brake recall that i will be servicing and hopefully that might solve this dangerous electrical problem.
Was driving through a local parking lot, going only 3 miles an hour and started to turn left when all of a sudden the driver side wheel just snapped off throwing me into the steering wheel. My right arm got a scrape and right shoulder popped. The truck hit a metal pole and dented the driver side panel, missing the head light. So glad this didn't happen on the highway.
Truck vibrated new with 8 miles when we first drove it home. Pinpointed specific speeds and returned 9+ times to dealership over 7 months. Tires (twice), shocks and rear end were all replaced but did not stop vibration. 5 months from purchase we were followed by a neighbor and they saw my truck "dog tracking" (traveling sideways down the road). Dealer noted but would not follow at distance and speed required to witness the "dog tracking". Dealer told me they were clueless and come get the truck. Local auto repair shop followed me and said there is definitely a problem. Front center of wheel to back center of wheel measures 1/2 inch less on driver side than passenger side but dealer says that is not a good measurement because their computer says everything is fine. This truck vibrates and "dog tracks" and dealership refuses to make proper offer and has given up on repair attempts. I am presently seeking help from a different dealer.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 40 mph, another vehicle crashed head on into the contact's vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained severe whiplash and a concussion, which required medical attention. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and sent an engineer to inspect the vehicle. Shortly after, while driving at an unknown speed, the stabilitrac warning light illuminated and the power steering malfunctioned. The steering wheel jerked violently. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that all the steering electronic sensors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 19,000.
I had made a appointment to get the recalls resolved at the dealership and i made appointment and everything and they call to confirm thru out the week and then when i showed up they said they couldnā€™t fix it cause it was a branded title and they didnā€™t even offer me any other way of fixing it .
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle lost acceleration and the steering ability seized. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, waited a few minutes, and then drove home. The vehicle was taken to musson-patout automotive group (214 us 90 frontage rd, new iberia, la 70560) where it was diagnosed that the fuel injectors failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.
When truck is at low rpm (usually turning into parking spot slowly) truck will shut off. Its pulling to much power from cpu or alternator and killing truck. This is a safety issue.
On making a turn at low speed, my enginehas cut out completely. I had full loss of acceleration, power steering ,ac, radio. I put the truck in neutral and restart the engine to get to safety. This has occurred 3 times in the last 20 days.twice in city traffic, once on the highway, turning off for gas. The "service steering assist" light appeared. I took the truck for a full diagnostic at a local electric repair shop, for $170.00. The tech found nothing after hooking my truck to his computer. The day i retrieved my truck from the electrical shop, i stopped in walmart for groceries. My key fob would not lock or unlock my doors. I manually unlocked the truck to determine that the truck would not start at all. No panel/ interior lights, no response in ignition,no automatic unlocking, the truck was completely dead. Roadside service came to tow it, and the truck was jumpstarted from his battery pack. The key fob began to work, unlocking,etc. I towed the truck home.i have vin checked my truck and there are none but i believe my vehicular failure refers to gm part 573 safety recall 17v-414 regarding the loss of eps. A secondary recall which may apply is gm# 14v26000 re steering linkages, tie rod assembly.as the "steer assist' alert was what i saw. I have the work invoice from the electrical shop, if needed.
When making a full turn to the left with my 2014 gmc sierra there is a loud thumping noise that you can also feel in the steering wheel. The problem started periodically and i had a dealership diagnosis. They heard the noise and found no problems. The noise has become more consistent and a third party mechanic believes it to be a steering rack failure. The vehicle can be stationary or moving at parking lot speeds to hear the thump.
2014 gmc sierra currently with 45,000 miles. Vehicle spent 40+ days at dealership in 2016 for vibration while driving between 69-72 mph they could not fix during 6 different service visits.it was under 3 year/36k mile warranty at the time. Began at 22,000 miles. In nov. 2017 vehicle began losing power steering at speeds under 3 mph, especially in reverse.also service stabilitrak light has come on randomly at low speeds.problem was intermittent but is now becoming an almost daily occurrance. Afraid this will lead to an accident. Several close calls already.radio has also turned off on its on about 5 times in the last 60 days. It will not turn back on until vehicle is re-started. Related or unrelated, while driving at night and applying brake pedal i notice a 1/2 second dimming of headlights and dash lights before they return to normal brightness. Battery and alternator tested fine by dealership.dealership says vehicle vin is not subject to any recalls.dealership wants me to replace power steering gear for $2,500 which they "think" might fix the problem. Don't want to spend $2,500 without certainty it is the problem.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 25 mph and making a left or right turn, the vehicle jerked violently and caused the steering wheel to become erratic. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 67,800.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v414000 (steering). The dealer (hertrich buick gmc of salisbury, 2016 n salisbury blvd, salisbury, md 21801, 410-202-8791) was notified of the recall and was unable to determine when the manufacturer would provide the solution to repair the recall. The manufacturer was notified. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Power steering goes out while driving making it hard to steer. Very dangerous it happens out of nowhere.
During normal driving in town and on highway, stabillitrak deactivated and power steering assist deactivated flashes on dash. The air conditioner and radio flash off. Lose power steering. The whole truck shut off also once while reversing, went from park to reverse and shut off. This had been very dangerous, as it happened also while going 70 mph on the highway.
Gauges flicker, headlights dim when hitting breaks, stability traction comes on, 4x4 has locked in. Truck has lost all power. Had to reset truck by removing battery cable from battery for a short period.
This issue is related to stabilitrak, the onboard computing system. When on the interstate, loss of power can occur. Usually at high speeds, the power just 'flickers' on and off, some times repeatedly. The breaking mechanism seems to be somewhat affected by this. At slower speeds, the same problem can occur, but the steering wheel locks up and forces my truck to turn hard to the left. Each time the problem occurs, "stabilitrak error" and "loss of traction control" or something along the lines of "loss of power, danger" will appear -- although, it is usually just something relating to "stabilitrak". I've nearly been in an accident ~3 times. It's no question a danger to the driver and to pedestrians. Gm has been getting sued like crazy, and it's pretty clear they are avoiding this issue because of this.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled and the stabilitrak warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the steering wheel and brakes seized. The contact powered off the engine while in traffic. The vehicle was restarted and drove normally. The contact stated that the failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to covert buick gmc (located at 11750 research blvd, austin, tx 78759, (512) 583-3411) where diagnostic testing was completed, but no failure code was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.
I started my truck and a message came up that says to service power steering and i am unable to turn my wheel or drive safely. I know that this is a recall on 2014 sierra but the dealership refuses to fix mine
Steering gear had loud "thud". Had to replace entire rack/pinion and steering gear.malfunction occurs when moving and at rest when turning left.vehicle has never been off highway.
Dec. 11,2017 driving under 20 mph on a local road speed limit 30mph ball joint pulled out of control arm front drivers side. Front wheel fell over caused damage to tire and rim and disabled abs system by cutting wires. Lucky i was not on interstate 84 going 65 mph in fishkillnew york truck could have crashed with other vehicles or caused serious injury to occupants of my vehicle could have caused vehicle to roll over. Dealer claimed never heard of this happening and that i must have hit something to cause the ball joint to pull out of control arm, never hit anything not even a pot hole i am the only driver of this vehicle. Had to replace control arm which holds the upper ball joint which is pressed into control arm. Took dealer from monday to friday to complete repairs. Control arm not under warranty repairs cost 936.42.found many complaints about ball joint and control arm separating on this vehicle online. Driver side front ball joint.
Got a steering stability indication while driving across a bumpy strip on the highway.later, i would get the indicator, and when i did a hard turn, i.e. 90 degrees, the engine would die.the dealership isolated the problem to a broken gear in the electric power assist, and replaced the negative power cable on the battery. The cost of the repair would have been about $3600.00, but gm paid about 75%.it was recommended that i replace the negative cable every 50,000 miles by one of the technicians.another problem occurred about a year ago concerning the vapor recovery system.i got a check engine warning, took it to the dealer and found that the whole system was completely coated with fine dust.they replaced the vapor collection canister and associated tubes and filters at a cost of about $800.00.gm picked up about 50%.i later changed the location of the vapor collection tube from the (very dusty) wheel well, to under the hood where it was protected from the dust. I don't believe either of these problems to be lack of preventive maintenance, because neither appear to be able to be checked or appear on regular maintenance. The vehicle turned off while making a turn at slow speeds, and the warning light came on at driving speeds.relocating the intake on the vapor recovery system appears to have cured or delayed the onset of the problem. (i also remove and blow out the filter and the intake tube at least once a year.)
The vehicle 4wd system remains engaged and will not disengage. Upon further investigation the system effects steering and drivability. Also effects speed of the vehicle. The vehicle utilizes a code c0398 and show a message of the dash service 4wd.this is due to faulty software installed by the manufacturer. Will cause damage to mechanical parts if driven on the vehicle and is a safety hazard. Gm reference # issued to me when issue complaint of the out of pocket cost to update the software as required by gm to fix their operating system. My reference number is 9-5058496526. Same issue resulted in 2015 gmc sierras that caused gm to issue a service bulletin #28770. Software issues are not wear and tear components. Gm faulty software is the responsibility of the gm as they can cause safety and damage to the mechanical parts of the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 45 mph, the steering wheel locked and the stabilitrack warning indicator illuminated. The contact had to stop in the middle of the road. The vehicle was turned off and restarted normally. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
Steering rack clunks when turning left at low speeds.
Steering locked up won't let me turn no noise no warning just stopped turning. I'm lick i was coming at a low speed truck only has 65000 miles has always been up to date on maintenance. I see a lot of people are having the same issues with the steering giving out with no warning
While traveling to denver colorado, my power steering shut off at random on the interstate. I pulled over and turned my vehicle off, and it came back on. A few days later while driving in the snow, it went out permanently and i was stranded until a tow truck arrived. It took 3 days to get my truck fixed, and the whole steering system, rack and pinion, had to be replaced. It cost me over $2,500 to fix and get back home safely. I was traveling on a straight road at 75mph on i-70 west when the steering went out the first time. The second time, i was making a left turn and it went out and nearly caused a wreck.
The engine shuts off and it looses all power randomly when turning , it is noow started to shut off in traffic when lightly tapping the brakes..
The truck just shut off all electrical and dash controls as i went to turn into my driveway. Its done it to me twice so far in the last 3 weeks.. No brakes and no power steering.
At speeds highway speeds 50 and above the truck can shack horrible causing to apply vehicles hazards and pulling off the road for feeling like the truck is coming apart with the fear of loosing control of the vehicle. The horrible shack cause nauseaand dizziness. I have replaced wheels and tires, shocks, re aligned and balanced multiple times nothing has fixed the issue. Will be in touch with a gmc dealer about this situation .
Driving at low speeds in rush hour traffic and "degraded steering" warning with chime sounded.cleared itself and then chimed again with same warning about three minutes later.this was followed by stabilitrack warning and red brake warning.steering was somewhat harder to turn but was still being assisted.there didn't appear to be any degradation to braking.maybe the anti-lock system?the a/c then turned off and the radio volume went silent.the stabilitrack switch, a/c controls and radio controls were all ineffective.i noticed the amp gauge was below 12 as it seemed as if the truck electrical system was underpowered.i drove ten miles home and all systems reset by turning truck off and starting it up again.this is first time this has happened.truck has 66k miles on it.
Complete loss of power steering along with speed control being disabled when a turn signal is activated.recall 17v414000 has already been completed and did not correct the problem.both of these issues occur during the same drive cycle (issues have not happened simultaneously but will both occur at some point during the same drive cycle) they seem to only happen on drive cycles that last longer than 45 minutes.
While parking vehicle i tried to make a slight right turn, the steering wheel jerked out of my hand under extreme force and the vehicle shut off on its own. After the vehicle stopped i tried to turn right a few more times. Every time i did this the steering wheel would turn itself in the opposite direction about a quarter turn and the dash lights would turn off like the computer was reseting. The vehicle would not start right away, but did after turning the key to the off position for a few seconds.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact received an unknown manufacturer recall related to the eps assist. The part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted (buick gmc in beaverton, or) and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and was not able to confirm when the parts were to become available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra. The contact stated that while driving at 5 mph, the vehicle abruptly jerked to the left as the rack and pinion came apart without warning. Due to the failure, the contact hit a pole head on. The air bags did not deploy upon impact due to low impact. The contact was treated at a local hospital for injuries to his right shoulder and right forearm. A police report was not filed. The contact called the manufacturer, however the contact had been unable to reach anyone for assistance. Chevrolet of wasilla(3700 e parks hwy, wasilla, ak 99654) was also contact and a service manager informed him the failure was caused to due a non tire rotation. The vehicle had been repaired since the accident. The failure mileage was 82,000.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 20 mph, the steering wheel seized and veered independently. In addition, several unknown warning indicators illuminated. The contact was able to regain control after depressing the brake pedal. The failure recurred and the stability trac, and the service trailer brake warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that a excessive voltage drop resulted in a loss of power with the manual trailer brake, the bcm, electronic bcm, ecm, steering. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,416.
When you push on the break the vehicleā€™s power shuts down. Yes it is available for inspection upon request. When steering wheel is turned it dies. After this happens stabilizer light comes on and power steering assist comes on. No inspection has been done called dealership and they said the recall from 2014 had already been done. This is a very serious issue when driving in traffic and i do not want to be in or cause an accident
While driving the vehicle is losing power in the steering wheel, prompting the stabilitrac warning light to come on. This happens while driving at any speed, while turning and while going in reverse
I temporarily had no control over the vehicle causing me to have an accident. While driving down a residential street approaching a stop sign intersection i merged into the center of st to pass a trashcan and in the process of returning to my correct position on the road i suddenly had no steering.panicking from the loss i pressed my brakes an attempt to bring vehicle to a stop but was unsuccessful because the tires began a slide once noticing the traction loss i proceeded to release brakes and reapply in hopes of gaining traction the brief relief from brakes caused the vehicle to regain traction and while i still have no control over steering, the vehicle jerks towards the right side of the road and the brakes being reapplied the vehicle continues to slide off pavement making contact with stop sign and telephone pole.
My electrical power steering has given out. I cant steer whatsoever. It is on recall. We fo have a local shop but it is not a gm shop. We did try working with gm and also the seller-ak sales and service to try get it fixed. They will not help me whatsoever. I love in the bush which means we have limited access. If i wanted to get this fixed i'd have to pay out of pocket over i grand to get my vehicle barged to amchorage, ak. Which i dont have that kind of money. I still owe over 11 grand on my truck. I'm sol as to what to do.
The first time i was driving down the highway and i hit the brakes and the dic said service stabilitrak and a few other things and i lost control of steering and my cruise wouldn't work for a minute the second time i was driving down the road and i gases on it and the whole truck shutoff and back on but i lost control of the steering again then i turned in my driveway and lost all steering and all power and the truck died i had to turn the key 2 or 3 times and if finally started it lost all power it reset my clock and everything on my radio and dic
On several occasions spanning multiple years the truck loses power while braking and turning at slow speeds. On more rare occasions, but still numerous, the same problem occurs when braking at higher speeds without turning. The truck dash lights, media screen and headlights all dim or flicker as a ticking or popping noise is heard behind the dash much like an arching electrical wire. Most of the time when these scenarios happen the display on the drivers display screen reads stabiltrak warning. Also when the problem occurs while turning and braking at low speeds the truck will completely lose power and power steering as well as assisted braking. Once the truck comes to a stop the ignition, and all electrical systems are completely unresponsive like the battery is dead. In order to start the truck again, i have to get out of the truck, open the engine hood and oscillate both the negative and positive battery cables. Most of the time the truck will start up after doing this. Sometimes i have to use booster cables to get it to start. Neither the cables or the terminal connectors are loose as they have been inspected by a dealer service tech and a local mechanic.
I was leaving a store parking lot and began a left turn when the steering wheel was wrenched out of my hands as it spun around causing my truck to veer sharply to the left and to hit another stationary vehicle. Gmc service department said the steering was broken and proceeded to replace the steering module. I retained the old module as evidence the tie rod became disconnected causing the accident.no one was seriously injured although i has the skin on my hand and forearm rubbed off by the steering wheel.
In the last 2 months my truck has lost all electric power while making a slow right turn. Voltage drops and i lose power steering. Dealership put a new battery despite there being an active recall for this exact issue. However, my vin number is not included in the recall. I was able to video it happening. It happens when the vehicle is in motion
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 5 mph and making a left turn, the steering wheel became inoperable. The contact restarted the vehicle and it jerked. There were no warning indicators illuminated, but there was an abnormal dinging noise. Additionally, the air conditioner blower fan increased to high without warning. The vehicle was taken to fairground auto plaza (100 fairgrounds rd, rolla, mo 65401, (573) 364-1002), but the failure was unable to be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 60,400.
Truck has 73,000 miles on it. While driving at approximately 20 mph i applied the brake and had the stabili track warning go off, as well as radio and fan shut off. As i was making a slight left turn the steering wheel jerked out of my hand and locked up, leaving me with absolutely no control of the vehicle in the middle of traffic. The steering wheel would release , jerk and lock repeatedly, it happened about 4 times while trying to regain control. At the same time while applying the brake i had virtually no brakes to stop the vehicle. Looked for recalls and all i found were hundreds of similar complaints, but no solution or recalls. How is this not a recall, it's gross negligence... What if i was at highway speeds or towing my trailer at the time. Gm and nhtsa need to address this issue immediately before lives are lost. As for me, i'm in the process of getting rid of a vehicle that i've had for 3 months because of this and will not let my children ride in the vehicle. It's an intermittent problem, i'm just hoping the next time it doesn't happen at 65mph.
It has been two weeks and no solution has been issued and meanwhile my vechile is stuck at dealers while i am stuck with paymnts and zero solution to fix my vechile and no idea how much longer it will be before it is repaired
While driving at low speeds the steering wheel jerks and is very difficult to turn and fails to turn and can sometimes be pulled right out of your hands while attempting to turn. When this occurs while negotiating a turn it causes the vheicle to fail the turn, turn very widely and forces the vheilce into the oncoming lane. This vehicle apparently has a recall on part of the power steering assist, but the power steering rack needs to be replaced and gmc will not cover the replacement even though it is all one unit.
During normal driving in town and on highway, stabillitrak deactivates, power steering assist deactivates and the steering becomes very difficult, airbags deactivate, turn signals become inoperable, radio shuts off, air conditioning shuts off. This happens while at speed on the highway and at slow speeds. It is especially dangerous when making slow turns as the power steering gives out and the truck instantly becomes nearly uncontrollable (uncontrollable for my wife) in the middle of the turn. I have taken the truck to the dealership and they said nothing is wrong and the best they could do was perform a service bulletin. Issue was not corrected. I found that there was a new bulletin that had a fix for the g218 ground. I cut back the sound deadening from the ground, yet that did not fix the issue either. The truck has done this dozens of times and is incredibly unsafe to drive. How can losing steering, airbags, stability control, turn signals, etc. Not be a safety concern?
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving various speeds, the steering wheel suddenly malfunctioned and became very difficult to turn in either direction. During the failure, the brake, abs, power steering, and traction control warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to troy allen buick(358 butler rd, kittanning, pa) where the power steering module was reprogrammed, but the failure continued. The contact indicated that the vehicle was serviced on multiple occasions for the same failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 4,000.
While driving my vehicle turns off, stability control comes on and offf on the dic also the drive assist goes off this is very dangerous then is when it looses power
Lost power steering while parking. Dash board got alert power steering disable drive with care .
Service power steering came on in dash i could not steer the truck.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 40 mph, the steering seized without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 108,000.
Power steering light and stabilitrack light coming on when coming to a slow stop. Lights will not stay on long enough to throw a code to read. A/c, radio, dash all shuts down when these codes throw.
The problem started while backing a trailer and turning. The stabiltrack light came on and the steering wheel jerked out of my hand. It happened a few more times and then the truck died. Later while driving the stabilitrack light would flash on and the dic would go black. The a.c. Would also go out and come back on. It would also do this when turning on the signal light or stepping on the brake pedal. I was in a parking lot today driving slowly and the st message came then the dic went black again. When i tried to turn the wheel it started jerking back and pulled out of my hand. It seems that shutting the truck off and restarting solves the problem for a day or two. This is a very unsafe issue and i have seen and read many complaints. I have been a huge fan of gm and all i have ever owned were gm vehicles, but this issue is making me wonder if i should have bought a ford instead.it seems that gm is not worried about recalling because of this safety issue, which there are many complaining of the same thing,and my warranty is about to run out.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 5 mph, the steering wheel began to steer back and forth independently without warning. The contact stated that the engine stalled while the failure was occurring. The vehicle was able to restart, but the failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.
On or about 4 april, 2017 i experienced an alarm while driving my 2014 gmc sierra.while traveling between conroe tx and plano tx, i received a warningsteering stability.the alarm cleared so i checked my owners manual and it said to take it to a dealer if it didn't clear.i used onstar and had a diagnosis done on the truck.they reported no problems. The next day the truck shut down, in the middle of making a u turn.my daughter thought she had knocked it out of gear but couldn't get it to start until she turned it off and back on.the same thing happened again (this time to my wife) turning into a parking lot.she took it to a gmcdealer to have it checked out.they found a broken gear in the electronic power assist assembly. We heard that our vehicle had a recall # 17276, for problem with the steering.i then took it to the dealerwhere i bought the truck and had the computer updated to prevent the problem.i then ask for a reimbursementfor having to have the steering module and negative battery cable replaced.i contend that, at the time, the cause of the steering problem causing the truck to die.when i ask a technician at mckinney if the recall was for the problem, he said:no that is just to change an error in the computer. Back in april, the only thing they could do to possibly prevent the stalling was to look forsomething like a power problem.before i took the truck in i had no indication of power problems and i was never told how the negative battery cable went bad, only that it happens and the truck was out of the 36 mo warranty.i checked on the internet to see if anyone else was having the problem and what the solution to it was?i saw several people were having the problem, but nobody knew what exactly caused it.the consumer requested to be fully reimbursed for the repairs made referencing the recall #17276.
When turning to left, you hear a "thud" in the steering rack and pinion."thud" occurs either moving or stationary.occurs during street/highway driving. Have not been off road with vehicle, so no information about occurance when off road.
Yesterday i was driving home on the highway driving approximately 75mph when without any warning a stability steering control light flashed on the dashboard behind my steering wheel. The car immediately jolted from driving mid 70's down to an immediate 67mph. This speed limit was the last thing that flashed before my dashboard blacked out, the steering column locked and the vehicle entirely lost power while driving. Seconds later my windshield wipers sporadically started moving (i did not engage the switch) and i watched the temperature go up from 70 to 80 without touching the gauge manually. The car jolted for almost 10 miles sporadically losing control intermittently and when i exited off the highway and made a left hand turn at a low speed (under 15mph) the steering completely locked and the car pulled off to the side of the road toward a curb. I gained control of the vehicle manually which was difficult but i did correct the drive path back onto the road. I pulled into the dealership at a low rate of speed and the car did the same thing as it did when i exited the highway. I'm in a loaner and the dealer has my vehicle. This vehicle was purchased used roughly 2 months ago from a registered gmc dealer with 40k miles on it. It now has roughly 44k on it. I have made 1 payment on this vehicle thus far.
The truck shuts off while driving which disables the power steering, engine and power braking. The electrical systems seems to reboot and turn back on after a second or two. This also happens occasionally while driving at slower speeds and turning the steering wheel or after hitting the turn signal. I have had the entire electrical system and engine shut off while doing 50mph on the high just because i turned my turn signal on. This happens every 4 weeks or so. You can tell it is about to happen when the headlights start deeming when tapping the brakes or using the turn signal. It usually happens when the truck is in motion. It has happened in all temperatures. After it happens the console states "stablitrak is disabled".
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering ceased intermittently,while the stability track control and steering reduce power warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to cambe chevrolet buick 704 s heaton st, knox, in 46534, (574)207-4109, to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The battery was replaced and the electronic power steering module software was updated however, the failure recurred. The nhtsa campaign number: 19v761000 (electronic stability control, service brakes, hydraulic, service brakes) and nhtsa campaign number: 17v414000(steering) were referenced as a possible solution to the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.
Slowing down to park on a street and lost steering and lights flickering, i just had recall reprogrammed &serviced 60 days ago, driver assist service lights also on and parking.i nearly crashed twice so far i need my vehicle for transportation and would like help with this immediately ,for it is a pricey luxuriousvehicle.
I was turning into my parking spot at work and the truck would not let me turn, the power was shut down and my steering wheel jerked. It took three minutes to very slowly pull into a parking spot. Every single time i tried to.turn it would shut my truck down and jerk the steering wheel. Then displayed service stabilitrac. All i can think is what if i were turning onto another road with my kids in my truck and my steering goes out. I'm highly disappointed i've had the truck less than 24 hours and already an issue.
The steering rack developed a loud clunking noise that could be felt in the steering wheel when turned about 2/3 of the way to the left. The problem happens almost every time the wheel is turned. The truck could be parked or moving. After a week the dealer finally diagnosed the problem as having a bad steering rack. The truck has 66000 miles on it and shouldn't have this issue in its current condition and mileage. The repair is not covered under my powertrain warranty and the total bill is at $2700 which is complete unacceptable for a truck that was purchased brand new truck that i paid $42,000 for less than two years ago.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the stabilitrak warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the steering indicator illuminated and the doors locked and unlocked independently. Eventually, the vehicle shut off and had to be restarted. On three occasions, the vehicle was taken to supreme chevrolet cadillac of plaquemine (23085 la-1, plaquemine, la 70764, (225) 238-1668) for routine maintaining. The dealer had to correct the power steering repair from a previous unknown recall. The failure occurred daily. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 81,445. The vin was invalid.*dt
Power steering failed intermittently, two different ocassions. Once was while turning left at a low speed. The steering wheel became extremely stiff and started vibrating when i tried to turn the wheel. The power steering came back approximately 10 minutes later. After driving fine for about 5 minutes, the steering failure happened again, this time with a "service power steering" message on the dash display. Called the dealer and they will fix, but quite frustrating for a vehicle with a little over 30,000 miles that i have had for less than two months.
Losing power steering intermittently and suddenly. Wheel becoming extremely difficult/heavier to move. Truck turned off.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 20 mph and making a left turn, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to restart and all the warning indicators on the instrument panel illuminated.an appointment was scheduled with covert buick gmc (11750 research blvd, austin, tx 78759, 512-583-3411), but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 9-5466674851. No further assistance was provided. The contact stated that the failure was similar to nhtsa campaign number: 17v414000 (steering). The failure mileage was 111,000.

The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, the power assist ceased while the power steering assist warning light illuminated. The contact's husband stated that the steering wheel became firm and was difficult to maneuver the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be serviced and the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. Upon further investigation, the contact discovered recall nhtsa campaign number: 14v246000 (steering) which she linked to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
Written by my wife on 11/04/16:on 11/02/16 at approximately 2:45 pm i was driving slowly through a parking lot trying to find a space. I found a space and as i turned my wheel to the left it locked up roughly, jerking the steering wheel out of my hands as i pulled into the spot. After the steering wheel locked up, jerking very abruptly, the power surged and the truck died. This is probably the 30th time this has happened to me. This particular time there was no error message displayed this time. Usually i get a message which pops up on the instrument cluster forward of the steering wheel that says 'service stabiltrac' or 'action required, steering assist is reduced, drive with care.' it seems there is a steering malfunction because this issue usually occurs while making a turn but the truck has had this same error message while driving straight on the highway. I am unsure of what the problem is but i do know it is dangerous to drive this vehicle until the problem is resolved. Road conditions/weather conditions also play no part in when this malfunction takes place. Other pertinent information regarding this issue is that the headlights do flicker from time to time. We have been dealing with this issue since august of this year and have still not found a resolution.landmark chevrolet in taylorville, il has had our vehicle in the shop 4 times on this issue alone and put over 200 miles on our vehicle with no resolution. Friendly chevrolet in springfield il had our truck for nearly 3 weeks and put over 70 miles on the vehicle...no resolution.here are a couple videos we recorded and uploaded to youtube documenting the issue.taken on september 18th, 2016: taken on september 19th, 2016:[xxx]parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).' pm
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While the vehicle was operated, the service power steering warning indicator illuminated and the power steering failed. The failure was intermittent. The dealer could not replicate the failure. A year earlier, the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the power steering motor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 14v719000 (steering) as a possible solution; however, the vin was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.
My vehicle turned completely off and it put my breaks to the floor at 26 mph. My steering locked also as if i turned it off. Prior to this happening 3 months my steering column has a popping feeling. Not noise. Feeling. When i took it to the shop, they read the code and it said something along the lines of communication error. Dealership couldn't find anything wrong, took apart steering column nothing was loose and popping stopped also had battery replaced 7 months prior and no bad connections. Received my truck back, was good until a week ago the popping feeling, is back.
Vehicle was in motion driving down the highway when complete power steering failure occurred. It was raining at the time, and this took place approximately 30 seconds after driving through a shallow puddle in my lane with the driver side tires. Vehicle was immediately very difficult to steer, even at highway speed. I am a fit male with strong arms and it was almost more steering resistance than i could manage. Had this occurred while turning, i doubt i would have been able to control the direction of the vehicle. Even while driving in a straight line, if this had happened to a person with very much less upper body strength, they would have been in real trouble, as they would be unable to steer the vehicle safely off of the roadway. The shop diagnosed the problem as being a failed electric powered rack and pinion (steering gear). They said that this was not related to the previously issued recall on the power steering, and that it required replacement of the apparently shorted out steering gear.
When i am slowing down to turn as i turn the steering wheel i loose power to my instrument panel and my a/c and radio turns off for a second and then comes back on
Driving on highway and also at low speed, truck completely shuts down electrically.steering fails, instrumentation fails, doors lock, complete power failure.this has occurred backing out of driveways, turning into intersections.brought truck to dealer,they can't find anything, but g218 ground issue appears to be obvious yet, they refuse to fix unless issue is present.
When stationary or driving at low speeds like those in a parking lot or leaving a stop sign.there is a loud 'clunk' that can be herd and felt about 2/3-3/4 of the way to full lock.it is very repeatable and getting louder.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. On several occasions, while driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled and lost power. The contact stated that the steering wheel seized and excessive force was required to maneuver the vehicle. The contact stated that the stabilink and power steering assist warning indicators illuminated. Also, while making left and right turns, the steering wheel jerked and the vehicle stalled. The contact had to jumpstart the vehicle when the failure occurred. The vehicle was taken to rivard buick gmc (located at 9740 e adamo drive sr60, tampa, fl 33619 (813) 498-2153) where it was diagnosed that the power steering module needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was provided case number: 8-3174003373. The contact was informed that the complaint would be escalated and that he would hear back within two to three days. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
2014 gmc sierra 1500 4wd ~75k miles. Sometimes when i roll up my windows or use my blinker and it shuts off cruise control (hwy). And sometimes when i hit my breaks my headlights will dim (hwy, city streets, parking lots). When i'm turning slowly (in parking lots) the steeling will occasionally lock up and once it lost power entirely. My battery was tested at bigo and said it was fine. I've seen this online a lot for this truck and similar years, but no one seems to have a resolution. With so many incidents i'm shocked they don't have a fix or any idea what is wrong.
Steering wheel springs/snaps (hard) in the opposite direction that the wheel is being turned and steering control is lost. When this does not shut the engine off, the only way to regain steering control is to restart the vehicle. When this does cause the engine to shut off the steering is restored with the restart.the stabili trak indicator appears just for an instant on the dic when this happens. Note: this is not the 'service stabili trak' indicator but more like stabili trak has been activated indicator. This happened first in reverse while backing into a parking spot. (three times in reverse). Then it started happening in drive, twice while pulling out from a stop sign and once while doing 15-20 mph turning onto a side street. The 15-20 mph turning instance caused the engine to shut off, steering became non existent for an instant and then very very heavy. I crossed the other lane of traffic and almost landed in the ditch. The truck has been at the dealership twice for a total of 14 days, both times 'cannot duplicate' was the result. No codes are being generated from these instances. Cause is unknown. Loose voltage or high resistance to grounds maybe. This has happened in hot and cold weather, running ac or heater or neither. There is no pattern. Please help.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated while driving the vehicle, the steering wheel would violently shake and vibrate before the vehicle shut-off. Later the vehicle was restarted and operated as normal. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure.the failure mileage was 30,000.
When the vehicle had less than 10,000 miles i brought it to the dealer to inspect the steering because of a binding/clunking noise while turning the steering wheel at a stop or slow speed. The dealership was unable to locate the noise at that time. Around 17.000 miles, the noise had gotten worse and they were able to locate it and replaced the steering box as well as the rack and pinion steering. Again, a little after 30,000 miles the noise was back but intermittent. The dealership did not hear it and said the steering was fine. Yesterday, with 40,000 miles, the dealership said the steering gear box needed to be replaced again as something is binding inside on the replacement steering box. Gm is denying this issue yet my research shows many people with the 2014 gmc sierra have or have had this problem. The one technician even told me his steering gear box on his 2014 1500 sierra had the same problem and compley failed. My research shows that this electronic gear box was introduced in 2014 and changed for a different steering box in 2015 models. An apparent acknowledgment of the problem.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the electronic power steering failed, which caused the steering wheel to jerk violently to the left when turning right. The dealer (wiers chevrolet cadillac gmc, 416 s halleck st, de motte, in 46310, (219) 987-5555) indicated that a software update would not provide a permanent remedy; therefore, the manufacturer approved the replacement of the electronic power steering assist. In addition, the vehicle failed to start and stalled several times without warning. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.
Power steering recall. I have been in touch with my nearby gmc dealer for the past 2 months attempting to get this recall dealt with and fixed. I need this recall to be resolved no later than 20 oct 17 in order for my vehicle to be shipped to my new duty station in alaska as i will be doing a pcs (permanent change of station) for the army. If it can't be resolved by then i need some type of documentation sent to me stating it can't be resolved due to gmc lacking ability to fix the problem or remove the recall from my vehicle. Please email the documentation to [xxx].very respectfully, [xxx][xxx][xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
The steering rack developed a loud clunk that you could feel in the steering wheel and head outside when turned about 2/3 of the way to the left. The problem would happen almost every time the wheel was turned. The truck could be standing still or moving. I brought it to the dealer where they diagnosed it as having a bad steering rack. The truck has 49000 miles on it and it was definitely a safety issue. I read a little online about the problem and there is several people who have had the same issue. Someone stated that the new ones are built different than the 2014 and possibly 2015 model years. If the new ones are updated and it is a known problem it would be nice if the manufacturer would fix them before steering racks start failing.
My truck loses power steering when turning left and practically comes to a stop mid turn. It takes approx. 5 seconds to be able to continue through the turn. Stabilitrak notifications constantly alert on the dash for traction control, steering assist, etc and when doing slow maneuvering the a/c, stereo, and steering assist shutdown for a split second. Recall is open under n172085440 for 2 weeks now and i know other people experiencing these same safety steering issues waiting for the fix to be published for this recall. Please expedite the recall fix asap!!
The vehicle was in motion and when traveling (in motioni) at a low speed turning left with a sharp left turn there is a popping noise in the steering column section that you can both hear and feel.in fact, there has been occasion when it appeared to me that the steering wheel appeared to somewhat stick or briefly freeze, again in this left a hard left turn at a slow speed. I took this vehicle to the local gm dealer today, the service manager evidenced the same issue; although, he did not know what is causing the problem suggesting that i return the vehicle for their service and review over a day when i can leave the vehicle with them.
When driving the truck after extended periods of time (i.e. 1 hour or more) the vehicle will flash a stabilitrak warning and then power the vehicle off. This happened while my son, girlfriend and i were on a trip to florida driving 70 mph down the interstate. I took to a dealer and they informed me that the battery cables were loose. 4,000 miles the truck has done this episode again and the dealer now tells me that i need to replace the electronic rack and pinion on a truck with 65k miles with a cost of over $3k. There are numerous examples of this happening with trucks just like mine and gm isn't responsible? hard to fathom that in the 5 vehicles i have owned, not once have i had to replace a rack and pinion and the newest vehicle that i have every owned has this issue.
When i am driving at low speeds and i turn my steering wheel my wheel locks up and i am unable to turn by vehicle. When i am driving on the highway my display system goes in and out.
Had the recall for the low maneuver turning issue performed at a dealership when i had my oil changed on august 15, 2017.less than a week later the issue occurred when turning into the driveway and dealership will not honor my complaint to fix it. The statement i hear is "we can't duplicate the problem" but i'm telling them it happened. Either the procedure to rectify the recall isn't working or they didn't perform it correctly. I need help.
My truck.was.fixed.once for the sterring and is still.cutting out its.so.bad that its shutting the hole truck down.in the.middle.of the road an.on the highway or when u go to speed up it cuts out n the streen comes tight
Was driving down the highway at highway speeds rolled the passenger window up the stereo cut off the gauges cut out and the wipers wipes in one time. Then a message stating stabilitrak needed to be serviced and electronic power steering was out
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle loss power steering functionality intermittently on several occasions. The contact stated that the power steering lasted for approximately 30 seconds before returning to normal operation. The failure also recurred while driving straight or making slow speed turns. The contact stated that the failure was more evident at slower speeds. The vehicle was not repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 76,000.
When i am making left turns my stabilitrak warning goes off and locks up my steering wheel and won't allow me to turn and jerks the wheel which has caused a dislocated thumb and jammed fingers, it also powers down my entire electrical system. I have had several close calls with some serious accidents. I have almost been t-boned several times due to it powering down and not being able to turn. I have called the gm dealership and they said there is nothing we can do about this and they are aware of the recall. It's going to be a hefty lawsuit on their hands when someone is seriously hurt or dies because their steering wheel locks up. Early june is when i started noticing this issue and it has only been getting worse!
Stabilitrak warning comes up and then it warns about reduction in steering assist.when i am parking or driving at a low speed it is hard to turn the wheel. My truck also shuts down and comes right back on when this happens.
Steering wheel locked, as if it were in park, while i was driving. Seat belt light and alarm activated (i was wearing seat belt) and wrench icon appeared on instrument display. After a few seconds the lock disengaged and the icon disappeared and i was able to turn. I did some online research and apparently this problem has occurred to others. I do not want my or my family's safety jeopardized by this design flaw (the steering lock can engage while the vehicle is in gear and in motion!!!) so i am having my mechanic disable the lock.
This incident occurred 4-5 times over the last week driving between 25-40 mph. While driving, a warning or notification pops up on the dashboard screen stating stabilitrack off or steering assist off, which stiffens the steering wheel and i can't turn the truck at all. At one point, the notifications popped up and then my a/c went off and radio went off along with my entire vehicle. I had to slam on my brakes, place the vehicle in park, and then restart at which point it came back on and worked until i could pull over and assess what had occurred. I attempted to call gmc customer service (800-996-9463) and advise them of the problem and they acknowledged a recall (#17276 - loss of steering assist), but it didn't apply to my vin#. It only applied to 2014 models of both chevrolet silverado ld and gmc sierra ld vehicles, whereas my vehicle is a 2014 gmc sierra ltd. They advised that a gmc dealer could "reprogram the eps module software", but the cost would come out of my pocket and they wouldn't acknowledge any fault or recall issue. My concern is obviously the fact i have kids and transport them to and from school and sporting events. I couldn't even imagine this happening with children in the vehicle and causing an accident or worse injuries to passengers or the driver. This is a major safety issue, and i'm surprised this hasn't been addressed or acknowledged by gmc.
The truck dies at any moment. Stability track system warning pops up in the little screen and the steering wheel is blocked when this happen. After these to things happens the truck shut down. Sometimes, after a few minutes the truck comes back to normal. This has happened to me for like 10 times in a period of like 15 months. I have taken to the dealer like 6 times and they haven't found the problem. They have change some wires from the battery. They have reprogram the software and nothing i still have the same problem. The truck dies at any moment. All of this happen when i am driving the truck most of the times at low speed and while turning to the left or right except like two times that occurred while i was driving in the highway. The mechanics in the dealer have done all kind of diagnostic that they have but they could not duplicated the problem so the answer that i get every time is that every is fine and that they couldn't duplicated the problem.
I was turning off of a main thoroughfare into a restaurant parking lot and lost the ability to steer my vehicle for a few seconds. The steering finally recovered so i could make the turn. I took the vehicle to gmc to repair on 9/21/2018. My steering had already had a recall in 2017 in which they did a software update. One year, 9/11/2018, later, i lost the ability to steer. The service advisor stated they had another customer in the week before with the same issue. He also stated they had received an internal memo about the issue and the fix was changing out the battery cables. They charged me over $800 for this repair. Based on the information i was given about the internal memo and the other customer with the same issue, i feel this should be a recall. I contacted gmc about my concerns; the cost of the repair and the dangerous situation of losing steering. Annabelle with gmc basically said there were a lot more dangerous issues reported. It seems the vehicle issue has to result in an accident or death before they will take it seriously.
Horrible grinding noise low speed rotating of steering wheel. Sounds metal on metal grinding and clunking, dragging across ridged plate doing parking lot and backing maneuvers. Took to dealership. They said had no trouble codes, but does have internal failure of drive components noted. Scheduling for warranty replacement currently. Metal on metal grinding crunching noise. Entire steering rack needs replacement. Truck only has 79877 miles. It is definitely faulty. Other than that, awesome truck and love it. Everything else works perfect.
Intermittently getting "service stabilitrak" "electronic steering assist power reduced" messages while turning left at speeds 30mph or less. Each time i receive this message the steering wheel becomes very hard to turn and jerks. Several times the vehicle has died but restarted itself. On 2 occasions ( thankfully in a parking lot away from traffic) the vehicle died after these messages and would not restart, no systems would respond to turning the key for several cycles. Both times this has happened i also received an anti-theft message as well. I know there is a recall issued for this but gm is not listing my vin as an affected vehicle. This is a potentially life threatening issue and needs to be corrected
While driving down the highway with my 3 year old daughter in the back seat, a warning light for my power steering comes up on my dash and immediately i lose my power steering and have to try to pull my wheel so i can stop on the side of the highway. After turning my truck off and restarting it my power steering comes back and drive it home. I call the dealership and there is a recall for my truck and i bring it in. 2 days after the dealership says they fixed the problem a get the same warning light and lose my power steering again with my daughter in the back seat. I take my truck back to the dealership and tell them my power steering went out again. Not 24 hours after i get my truck back for the 2nd time my power steering goes out again driving down city street. Bringing my truck in for the 3rd time for the same issue, the dealership now says i have to pay them $142.00 for them to diagnose what's wrong with my truck. Why am i held responsible for an issue gm has known about since 2009?
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 65 mph, the service stabilitrac warning indicator illuminated, the door locks activated independently, and the power steering failed. Additionally, the vehicle independently turned off and on within a few seconds. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 88,124.
During driving, the stability sensors would go off and show up stating stability turned off, or power steering turned off. The voltage on vehicle would suddenly drop from 15 to 9 and then back up. This will usually turn off the interior lights and electronics. I have discussed this with other 2014 sierra and silverado owners and they all advised this was occuring on their vehicles. There is a ground wire that was not properly installed under the dash which causes high resistance material to cause electrical issues. During one of my drives to work going 60 mph, the electrical components shut off and caused the engine to stop running. I was able to pull over while coasting on no power and restart the vehicle and it would continue to go. There have been times where the steering wheel would jerk while stationary as well. After many forum discussion this all related back to the ground wire not being properly installed by the manufacturer.
The steering rack developed a loud clunk that you could feel in the steering wheel and head outside when turned about 2/3 of the way to the left. The problem would happen almost every time the wheel was turned. The truck could be standing still or moving. I brought it to the dealer where they diagnosed it as having a bad steering rack. The truck has 43000 miles on it and it was definitely a safety issue. I read a little online about the problem and there is several people who have had the same issue. Someone stated that the new ones are built different than the 2014 and possibly 2015 model years. If the new ones are updated and it is a known problem it would be nice if the manufacturer would fix them before steering racks start failing.
The part broke in half at low speed while i was driving in a construction area (my own driveway being installed) i hit something and the metal casing of the axle where it attaches to the front diff. Broke in half. I am 60 years old my wife was in the truck i was going so slow the speedometer was on 0. The dealer said the part was cracked by the impact. This is supposed to be a heavy duty 4x4 p/u, if i was going at 40 mph off road what would have broke and what would have been the result? i think the metal of the casing was flawed and i am afraid to keep the truck. The dealer said this isn't a warranty issue i had to put a claim into my ins. This is not only a concern for safety but for financesas well. I paid $44,000. Cash for this truck, it is the sierra slt not only a 4x4 but it has 20" rims for added height. This was not hit hard enough to crack a steel casing. The truck is at a gmc/buick dealer in mount dora fl. They said it might take awhile to find the parts to fix it. I do not think gmc makes cheap trucks or dangerous trucks but i think after this gets fixed i will be looking into trading it.
Rounding a corner at low speed and the a/c compressor locked up and stalled the engine. I lost steering and brakes nearly hit a pole. Search for this issue and you will see that gm has a known issue on the 2014 a/c units that they are doing nothing about
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving various speeds, the steering seized and the stability warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to classic buick gmc arlington (1400 e interstate 20, arlington, tx 76018, 817-264-7782) where it was diagnosed that there was a failure with the stability of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.
Rusted fram an oil pan
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent body shop to have some damages repaired. The contact was advised that the frame underneath the vehicle was rusted. The dealer (anchor buick gmc, 1 automotive blvd, elkton, md 2192) was contacted and stated that there was a technical service bulletin for the failure; however, the vehicle was no longer under warranty due to high mileage. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was no longer under warranty for the technical service bulletin due to the high mileage. The failure mileage was 85,821.
After about 5-10 minutes of driving there was a 'burning plastic' smell and about 1-2 minutes after that a loud bang (almost like a gunshot)after pulling over, i looked around to find the left side of the back window was blown out. Long story short, i called the dealer to set up service and was told they performed the recall fix for this problem on my gmc.....i don't think it was either done or the fix didn't solve it.i can provide pictures tomorrow.....and i was driving down a city street and in motion - the street was not bumpy, in fact it was snow covered. I think this could have been a fire hazard judging by the horrific smell.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact received a manufacturer recall concerning the trailer hitch. The dealer indicated that the manufacturer had only been sending 1 to 2 parts every two weeks and that the contact was placed on a waiting list due to the parts being on back order. The contact was unable to determine when the parts would become available. The vin was not available.the manufacturer was unable to provide a specific time frame.
I purchased my vehicle brand new in order to avoid unexpected expenses that one sometimes inquire when we purchase a used vehicle. However, the truck has given me nothing but mechanical issues i've head engine power loss problems, have gone through two air conditioner major issues, radiator gone bad, transmission go out and the most recent my roof started to leak. As i did more research i came to discover that i am not the only customer in this predicament there are several others. I'm reaching out to for assistance in regards to these matters, something has to be done gmc has to take responsibility for faulty vehicles if that's is the case. They only give the go around to customers like myself that on top of having a car payment we have to somehow pay high mechanical bills for issues that should not be accruing to new vehicles.
Water leaked through the 3rd brake light and stains the headliner
My vehicle has side board steps. The tread pattern is such that when wet or icy the step is a virtual skid pad. When you place weight on the foot on the tread it immediately slips out from under your position. Last year i broke a foot when i slipped and this year it was an ankle. Tread design needs to be improved and turned 90. As designed there is no traction protection. Just the opposite, it promotes lack of traction resulting in slipping and falling.
Began running rough bad lifters. Also interior is beginning to rust. Hheadlights are terrible it aka nearly impossible to see.
Was driving through a local parking lot, going only 3 miles an hour and started to turn left when all of a sudden the driver side wheel just snapped off throwing me into the steering wheel. My right arm got a scrape and right shoulder popped. The truck hit a metal pole and dented the driver side panel, missing the head light. So glad this didn't happen on the highway.
There is a service bulletin from gm about frame rust on all gmc 2014 1500 sierra and chevy 2014 silverado 1500 light duty pick up trucks. The frames and some important bolts are highly rusted. They only touch-up spots they can access at the dealership. The facility where they were produced used a poor quality waxy paint coating. The dealership cannot guarantee a complete solution for this frame rust. This is a very dangerous problem in the future of the life of the truck. The frame could decay and the bolts can break off. This is not fair for a $40,000 to $60,000 truck. You can spot the rust right from the dealership new truck lot. I read on the gm truck forum on the internet hundreds if not thousands of these trucks have this issue. I will feel very unsafe driving this truck a few years from now. There are some photos of a few rusted areas in the gm service bulletin which you obtain.
For over 45k miles i have complained off a vibration coming from the rear of my gmc sierra at 65 to 75 miles per hour. My supporting dealer that i purchased it from can't find the problem and is most likely out of business.this is an ongoing issue. Recently i went under the truck to find the entire frame is rusted from the gas tank back to the rear off the vehicle around the spare tire and elsewhere. Whats wrong with gm manufacturing, are they that cheap, that no paint is place on the frame. Additionally the chrome wheels that came with the vehicle are corroding yet another cheap process that gm refuses to address. Mind you i have always fixed and repaired my own vehicles. I have washed this vehicle so much by using a cold water hose under the vehicle and the top as well to get the salt and brine used by the northern states off the car and yet i still get the corrosion. How do i get gm. To fix the wrongs they have produced.
Paint is chipping very bad underneath tire wells and near bottom of doors. Paint looks very thin and there has been several problems with this documented online
I temporarily had no control over the vehicle causing me to have an accident. While driving down a residential street approaching a stop sign intersection i merged into the center of st to pass a trashcan and in the process of returning to my correct position on the road i suddenly had no steering.panicking from the loss i pressed my brakes an attempt to bring vehicle to a stop but was unsuccessful because the tires began a slide once noticing the traction loss i proceeded to release brakes and reapply in hopes of gaining traction the brief relief from brakes caused the vehicle to regain traction and while i still have no control over steering, the vehicle jerks towards the right side of the road and the brakes being reapplied the vehicle continues to slide off pavement making contact with stop sign and telephone pole.
Radiator leaking from top corner driver side and passenngeralso rust on frame
On 4/10/2014 i factory ordered an 2014 gmc 1500 crew cab 4x4 short bed with a max trailer towing package.this towing package had a maximum trailering weight of 11,800# and a gcwr of 17,500#. I took receipt of the vehicle on 5/29/14.on 6/4/14 gm released document id: 3931537 stating that the gcvwrin the owners manual is incorrect.the max trailer weight is now being stated as 11,200# and a gcwr of 16,700# after the release of this document.this 800# gcvwr reduction is an issue as the vehicle was originally purchased and sized with the original towing capacities and gcwr.at this time, gm does not manufacturer any 1/2 ton trucks that will accommodate the original towing capacities that i factory ordered and purchased my vehicle at.i have been working with the dealership on this issue since august 22,2014 and there has been no resolution to this point; therefore, i am filing this complaint.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the service engine sensor illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who cleared the code on the instrument panel but did not inspect, diagnose or repair the vehicle. The contact noticed that there was rust on the front and rear wheel wells and on the front and rear frames. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who diagnosed that the front rear wheel wells, rear wheel wells and the front and rear frames needed to be recoated. The vehicle was scheduled for inspectionand to be repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.
Discovered undercarriage frame major rusting, entire undercoating peeled and cracked away in over 70% of iron/steel structure, major rust is visual on all bolts connected to suspension and frame.gmc chat ran my v.i.n. And indicated it was manufactured in mexico. Gmc corporate chat claims that my issue needs to be taken up with the dealership and to check into the state's of nh lemon law. Nh dealership claims a recent bulletin allows them to buff the frame down and reapply undercoating which their dealership is now equipped with.dealership claims the warranty thereafter would be 3 years/36,000 miles.all warranty information in gmc warranty booklet only indicates body sheet metal at 3 years/36,000 miles for rusting, pitting and peeling of undercoat.
Vibration between 60 and 85 miles per hour has been occurring since 28000 miles on vehicle currently vehicle has 40000 miles. On 9/23 2018 experienced more violent shaking of entire cab to the point had to shut vehicle off. Did visual inspection saw nothing started vehicle up again no vibration for 20 miles started again continued to destination. Took to dealership unwilling to preform vibration analysis as recommended in gm bulletin pi1354c.
Excessive vibration at highway speeds. Manufacturer is aware but has no solution.
At speeds highway speeds 50 and above the truck can shack horrible causing to apply vehicles hazards and pulling off the road for feeling like the truck is coming apart with the fear of loosing control of the vehicle. The horrible shack cause nauseaand dizziness. I have replaced wheels and tires, shocks, re aligned and balanced multiple times nothing has fixed the issue. Will be in touch with a gmc dealer about this situation .
Very poor lighting at night with headlights on both low beam or high....very dangerous in rural areas...i have tried new bulbs with no luck... Truck seems to sit low on one side looking at the back even on flat surfaces...
Truck vibrated new with 8 miles when we first drove it home. Pinpointed specific speeds and returned 9+ times to dealership over 7 months. Tires (twice), shocks and rear end were all replaced but did not stop vibration. 5 months from purchase we were followed by a neighbor and they saw my truck "dog tracking" (traveling sideways down the road). Dealer noted but would not follow at distance and speed required to witness the "dog tracking". Dealer told me they were clueless and come get the truck. Local auto repair shop followed me and said there is definitely a problem. Front center of wheel to back center of wheel measures 1/2 inch less on driver side than passenger side but dealer says that is not a good measurement because their computer says everything is fine. This truck vibrates and "dog tracks" and dealership refuses to make proper offer and has given up on repair attempts. I am presently seeking help from a different dealer.

The truck starts to vibrate terribly when in motion at highway speeds anywhere between 70-85, even if on new smooth set of highway truck will still vibrate. I have come to the conclusion that its the truck and not the roads.
I have a 2014 gmc sierra, i took my truck in to get it serviced, 2 weeks ago. At the time, when i was reversing you could hear a clicking noise, when i would back up, or brake, also going over any bump in the road, at very low speeds, ( exm. 5 mph to 15 mph), well, the dealer came back and told me, my break booster had to be replaced, and they lubed and cleaned my u-joints and lead springs on the rear end. Well here it is 2 weeks later and the problem came back, and i called the dealer, and the response i got, " just bring it back in, and the only thing we can do it re-lube and re-clean it, but that's all we can do for you".my husband owns a 2013sierra, and he has had no, issues with his truck what so ever. This is my 3rd vehicle from gmc, i have been satisfied up until now, there is a serious issue you need to look into. The truck drives fine, but, with this being a new truck, this noise should not be there, i am considering trading it in and going elsewhere for the money i am paying on it.
Dec. 11,2017 driving under 20 mph on a local road speed limit 30mph ball joint pulled out of control arm front drivers side. Front wheel fell over caused damage to tire and rim and disabled abs system by cutting wires. Lucky i was not on interstate 84 going 65 mph in fishkillnew york truck could have crashed with other vehicles or caused serious injury to occupants of my vehicle could have caused vehicle to roll over. Dealer claimed never heard of this happening and that i must have hit something to cause the ball joint to pull out of control arm, never hit anything not even a pot hole i am the only driver of this vehicle. Had to replace control arm which holds the upper ball joint which is pressed into control arm. Took dealer from monday to friday to complete repairs. Control arm not under warranty repairs cost 936.42.found many complaints about ball joint and control arm separating on this vehicle online. Driver side front ball joint.
Truck is brand new and has a bad shake in the rear end at 70-85 mph that the dealership cannot fix. I believe this shake could lead to premature wear of parts or a failure at highway speeds that could cause a crash.
I have a 2014 gmc sierra 1500 slt crew cab. The vehicle has a vibration above 40 mph since i purchased the vehicle new in july 2013. They attempted to fix this once already by rebalancing the wheels but still has the same issue. It appears i'm not the only one with this issue.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 60-75 mph, the front end of the vehicle vibrated. The vehicle was taken to miller buick gmc (920 us-1, iselin, nj 08830, (732) 596-7752), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 29,000.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 10 mph, the traction control malfunctioned, which caused the vehicle to skid. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 33,000.
Air conditioning system went out. Dealership found that the line set between the condenser and compressor failed. Dealership stated it needs a bracket to fix or this will keep happening. Approx. $700 to fix and not covered under vehicle warranty.
Ac is no longer blowing cold air. Condenser is leaking.
Major problem with my air condenser that is defective... Does not work.there is a nation wide back order for this item for all gmc sierra's and nothing is being done to service the customers.it's been 3 weeks and counting now and still no answers.air condenser problem... My ac unit is not operating.
A/c condenser failure on a 3-year old truck. $1,200 dealer repair and google search online shows this is a massive systemic problem amongst owners. Need a recall
Air condition compressor is leaking .air conditioner is blowing hot air.have seen multiple reports on the same issue.also there is a class action suiton this issue. Contacted gmc and they will not assist with replacement of repair. Just bought vehicle in december . Had vehicle since december 31 first tried to use a/c on 5/1/2018. Problem started immediately.
Takata recall air conditioning condenser went out and the parts are on back order the dealership even explain that thousands of these model trucks are having the same issue
Started having trouble with brakes, pedalis getting hard at low speeds. Dont have trouble until in at red lights or stop signs. No check engine seems to come up yet.
A/c condenser has crack in weld on right upper weld as described by many otherson forums for gmc and chevy 2014-2017 trucks. Date below is just an estimate as when the actual date is unknown. The date is when air started blowing warm
A/c not working. Been told by gm dealer that tgis problem was on a recall but our vin did not come up.
A/c condenser has gone out. Only 72,000 miles on vehicle. Vehicle is only driven on the weekends. This was noticed after starting the vehicle and waiting for the a/c to cool off which never happened. Took to a local auto shop to access the problem.
Ac is blowing hot air. Dealership confirmed the condenser was leaking and required replacement. Dealership has ordered new part and advised that part is on a national back order and could not provided an estimated time of arrive for replacement part.
Intermittently getting "service stabilitrak" "electronic steering assist power reduced" messages while turning left at speeds 30mph or less. Each time i receive this message the steering wheel becomes very hard to turn and jerks. Several times the vehicle has died but restarted itself. On 2 occasions ( thankfully in a parking lot away from traffic) the vehicle died after these messages and would not restart, no systems would respond to turning the key for several cycles. Both times this has happened i also received an anti-theft message as well. I know there is a recall issued for this but gm is not listing my vin as an affected vehicle. This is a potentially life threatening issue and needs to be corrected
My vehicle has side board steps. The tread pattern is such that when wet or icy the step is a virtual skid pad. When you place weight on the foot on the tread it immediately slips out from under your position. Last year i broke a foot when i slipped and this year it was an ankle. Tread design needs to be improved and turned 90. As designed there is no traction protection. Just the opposite, it promotes lack of traction resulting in slipping and falling.
A/c condenser failure. Repair part is on national backorder. Estimated arrival time is 10-12 weeks. Texas summers create a very hot vehicle. Children in car seats without air conditioning is dangerous when sitting in bumper to bumper traffic. Rainfall requires either the windows get rolled up or children get pelted with rain drops on the highway. Neither are acceptable.
Ac condenser failed.when researched on-line found pages of others complaining about the same issue...always cracks in the same corner. Gmc would not warranty.wanted to charge $1,300 to replace their faulty condenser.even the service dpmt admitted it was an issue.ended up paying about half that, but the bottom line is gm has a faulty component and they are hoping they fail just outside of warranty.an ac condenser is not something that should ever (or very, very rarely) get replaced in the normal life of a vehicle, certainly not before a 100,000 miles.this should be a mandatory recall and updated or at least it should be covered for those that fail during the normal life cycle of the vehicle.
Air conditioner started blowing hot air in november/december 2016 at or around 50k miles. In june 2017, paid a gmc dealership to diagnose the vehicle. Results show a condenser leak.. Contacted gm customer care dept. (spoke to beth). Beth confirmed the diagnosis, informed me of the backorder, then informed me that gm would not provide cost assistance for the repairs.
Started my truck on 7/30/17 and had no cold air blowing from the vents. Drove it for the day and still nothing. Took it into the dealer on 8/2/17 and received the diagnosis of a cracked ac condenser. The fix is not possible for 6-8 weeks because there is a national backorder on a replacement condenser from gmc. This is a design issue and not a ware and tear issue. The dealerships want the owners to pay for it even though their design is at fault to begin with.
Discharge hose failed causing air conditioning to not function. It leaked at the bend, near the compressor. This is a known issue as there was a bracket made to reduce vibration and increase life of hose. Very many failures of this hose and condenser.
On sunday, may 30, 2021 this truck caught on fire.my son was driving this truck, he looked in the rear view mirror and saw flames coming up between the bed of the truck and the cab.he was on a single lane road following a river, highway 55 in idaho, and the cab immediately started filling with smoke.there is a lot of traffic on this highway and he was trying to find a spot to pull off.his airbag on the drivers side deployed but he was able to push it down and see a dirt area to pull off.there were no warning lights or issues with the vehicle that he was aware of.the police and fire were called to the scene, by bystanders.obviously my son and passenger were very shaken up by this.my son reported this to geico, his insurance that same day and has been working with the claims adjuster on this.we wanted to report this because this could have so easily been a different outcome.the truck and all belongings in it burned very quickly.it was towed to mustang towing in horseshoe bend, id.no injuries fortunately.
I am writing to inform that my sierra has what is know as the"chevy shake" in which it vibrates in speeds ranging from 65 to 80. Please help with this issue, as it's only a matter of time before this vibration fatigues a structural component.thanks.
Air conditioner fails because of faulty condenser,this is a widespread problem since a replacement part is not available worldwide because of the demand. The dealerships are sending vehicles to 3rd parties to have the condenser repaired. This repair is not covered by any warranty.
Air conditioner not working. Ac condenser has developed a leak. In doing research i discovered that this is a common problem for gm vehicles of the model and the like, but gm has also pulled all condensers from the shelves but will not do a recall to address the defective condenser.
Air condenser failure. There is a recall for suburbans, yukons and tahoes for the same issue, and same parts, however not for the silverado and sierras of the same year. This is not covered under any recall or warranty from gm/chevy. There are multiple class action lawsuits across the us regarding this topic alone. I do not believe that there should be this type of failure on a 4.5 year old truck, especially when the original cost of the truck is $50,000.
A/c condenser issues across many different vehicles have caused the part to be on back order in some cases for months.to me this sounds like a defective part that warrants a recall.a can of refrigerant can leak out, for me, in the matter of just a few weeks and i took it in and was informed of the condenser leak.this has been an ongoing thing that many others have complained about.i understand that this does not qualify as a safety issue but others have stated this is the process to conduct a recall investigation if warranted.
A/c condenser went.gm has not issued a recall.there is a national back order on the re-designed condenser.people are being forced to wait months and are going without a/c.gm claims that they are aware and are working with two manufacturers to get the new part made and shipped to dealers.please see documentation of chat session with gm rep.
The door locks dont always lock. My grandson was in the back seat and fell asleep,while asleep he bumped the door handle and the door opened while we were going 50 mph., lucky he had the seat belt on. The door should not have opened as the lock should have engaged when the truck is put in gear and made the door handle inoperable. The door lock actuator is the problem, this will be the second onereplaced. You dont know they dont work because they make a locking sound when activated. They just dont lock, very dangerous glad hedidnt fall out of the vehicle.
Vehicle gets stuck in 4 wheel drive. Effects drivability and steering. Safety concern with vibration on dry pavement.
The service trailer wiring warning comes on with no trailer connected or if there is a trailer connected you have no trailer brakes this happens at any speed i have had this truck to 4 different dealers but the light went out before i got there and they could find no problem this started when the vehicle was new and still happens it seems to be the worst when it is damp or raining but not always it does not matter how fast you are traveling
No accident has occurred yet as a result of the following deficiency. Headlights on my 2014 gmc sierra 1500 slt are totally inadequate on high or low beam.the lighting distance is inadequate and is so directional that there is no side flair lighting for turning like you have with conventional headlights.this is a serious safety issue and needs to be addressed immediately by the nhtsa.i have had this vehicle for 1 1/2 years and the problem is ongoing since i bought it.the dealer has no solution.
Truck vibrated new with 8 miles when we first drove it home. Pinpointed specific speeds and returned 9+ times to dealership over 7 months. Tires (twice), shocks and rear end were all replaced but did not stop vibration. 5 months from purchase we were followed by a neighbor and they saw my truck "dog tracking" (traveling sideways down the road). Dealer noted but would not follow at distance and speed required to witness the "dog tracking". Dealer told me they were clueless and come get the truck. Local auto repair shop followed me and said there is definitely a problem. Front center of wheel to back center of wheel measures 1/2 inch less on driver side than passenger side but dealer says that is not a good measurement because their computer says everything is fine. This truck vibrates and "dog tracks" and dealership refuses to make proper offer and has given up on repair attempts. I am presently seeking help from a different dealer.
Air conditioning began not producing cold air.in less than a couple hours only ambient air was being blown out of the vents.this is a known problem with gm vehicles years 2014-2015.gm has put out a service bulletin to it's dealers on this problem yet refuses to assist it's customers.based on online searches there are thousands of gm customers who are having the same issue.
Rear righttail gate bushing - gm (84331136), broke and tailgate slammed down when opening.gmc hasa service bulletin preliminary information dated 09/2016 bulletin # pit5251b regarding this failure.i contacted dealer and their response is that it's not under warranty.
October 2016 a/c stopped working brought to dealer. Dealer recharged system found leak to be a/c compressor hose and bracket needed to be replaced and not under warranty customer pay. April 2017 a/c stopped working brought to dealer. Dealer recharged system found leak to be a/c condenser needs to be replaced not under warranty - customer pay. No condensers available - national back order. 50,000 miles
I have noticed an issue for a few years while parking that my brakes would lock up if used repeatedly. While getting service done i had asked if they noticed anything and they had said no. They have know recognized it is a problem but are limiting the fix to 72000 miles which i am 3k over. They said i have never formally complained about this so i disqualify for the $ 540.00 repair. Yet they recognize it is an issue with the vehicle. I feel they are trying to avoid a formal recall.
The ac condenser was leaking, which made the ac blow hot air.after much research, this has been an ongoing, and known, issue that has not been addressed.many individuals have been taken advantage of monetarily (me just yesterday) because of this issue, and needs to be recalled.i just had hip surgery, and the cost of repair really put a financial strain on me.i live in texas, and no ac is not an option.
Purchased my truck nov 2014. Air conditioning does not work. Condenser failed.
Air conditioning system failure.approximately 50,000 miles.air conditioner blows hot air.
The air conditioning system stopped working properly. Noticed a large amount of oil under the truck in the area of the air conditioning lines refrigerant lines. Suspect that the lines have ruptured and are leaking oil and refrigerant. Check to see if they were any recalls concerning this problem and noticed that numerous people have suffered the same failure of the air conditioning systems. Also noted the gm is not doing a recall on these systems even though they are admitting that there are faults in the brackets holding the refrigerant lines to the frame and have re-designed those brackets in later model units. Also noted that general motors is not rip making repairs at a reduced cost or no cost due to their failure in design.
A/c condencer
A/c compressor failure, $1267.43 to replace by chevy dealership. Only, 33,000 miles. A known chronic problem as found on internet, gm states out of warranty
Ac condenser leak. History of faulty condensers with gm trucks
At 70,000 miles, and 30 months after purchasing it new, the air conditioning stopped working due to a faulty condenser. After investigating this problem i found out that there is an extremely high failure rate of gmc trucks for the same exact problem. It is a well known defect per several gm dealers who are left to deal with the problem. A bracket to secure the a/c line was never installed when vehicle was built, causing movement in the line which eventually can ruin the condenser, ac line and compressor. I asked gm dealer to fix under warranty but was told that the repair would not be done under warranty. This is unacceptable, as the defect is widespread in many of their light trucks. I was forced to repair at my own expense when this is an obvious defect
A/c condenser and hose defective manufacturing causing it to malfunction and cease working.has happened on numerous models but gmc refuses to to cover the costs associated with this.items needed to repair are out of stock causing long delays in getting repair.driving in the extreme heat in socal with small children is not safe.would like for your agency to help in protecting the consumer by standing up to gmc / chevy to hold them accountable for this faulty manufacturing. There is a pending class action lawsuit in tn i believe and countless social media posts about this widespread problem yet it remains the burden of the consumer to not only pay out of pocket but to wait for repairs because parts are out of stock.1st quote was $1600, then gmc said they would pay for a portion bringing the costs down to approximately $700.its a huge financial burden that shouldn't exist.do a quick google search on gmc ac problems and you will see the problem is not unique to me.we've only owned gmc cars and never had an issue and have put over 150k miles on it.please help.
Ac started blowing hot air, shop came back to me with a bad condenser and over $1100 to fix.truck only has 73k miles on it and has been well taken care of.
I took the vehicle to a local gmc dealer to get the recall corrected but i was told they couldnt fix it because my software was different than the one they usually use and the problem was never fixed.
45,000 miles. Air conditioner starts blowing warm air about a month ago. The following week, take the pickup to the local dealership to diagnose the following. Condenser is leaking. Informed that the part is on a national backorder and they will call me when it comes in. Three weeks and counting so far. I live in the southwest so the temperatures have been very hot lately as this is the hottest part of the year.
Air conditioning condenser leaked out all freon due to faulty weld
Air conditioning hose between condenser and compressor failed. Needs a bracket to hold it. Gm knows about this but has not called for recall. They charge 700.00 to fix. Virtually all 2014 chevy and gm trucks are affected. I am very disappointed with gm. Truck had only 60k miles.
The backseat headrests do not remain in the upright position.they slide down with the slightest contact from the person's head.the maintenance/service person at the dealership indicated that there has been numerous complaints from owners.he indicated that at this time it is a "no fix" problem.this is unacceptable and does not meet the national highway traffic boards regulations on headrest equipment.this is a real safety concern. The service department indicated that a latch needs to be installed to hold the headrest in place.if this is not corrected, people will at some point in time sustain serious injury.i feel like contacting 60 minutes with the problem and your response.
2014-2015 gmc sierras were produced with a known faulty a/c condenser with a bad weld that causes an a/c system leak requiring replacement. There has been an overwhelming failure of the product across the country, so bad to even make nbc news. Gm became aware of this issue and sent new (properly produced) condensers to their production lines first, leaving hundreds of gmc owners without a/c over the summer. They put out a "special recall" on a very small number of vins saying it "may" happen in other vins. There is an overwhelming volume of complaints online (to include myself) to where gm is acknowledging this issue but refusing to cover the replacement cost of their faulty part for hundreds of owners having this issue. The replacement cost of this faulty part for my vehicle was $1,338.61 at the gmc dealership. I've called gmc and their response was: "it may happen with my vin but they will not cover the replacement" even though i have confirmed that this was in fact the issue with my vehicle as well as hundreds of other owners across the country. See many links to this issue below:https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/gm-air-conditioning-responds-439572983.htmlhttps://www.consumerclasslawyersblog.com/2017/08/01/bunch-hot-air-ac-gmc-chevy-trucks-simply-not-work/http://www.radiatorhelpline.com/2017/06/2014-2017-chevy-gm-condenser-widespread-failure.htmlhttp://www.silveradosierra.com/climate-control/2014-silverado-ac-not-blowing-cold-t414162.htmlhttp://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/191160-2014-sierra-ac-leaking/http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/200888-ac-condenser/https://www.carcomplaints.com/gmc/sierra_1500/2014/ac_heater/ac_condensor_leaking.shtmlhttps://www.carcomplaints.com/gmc/sierra_1500/2014/ac_heater/ac_not_working.shtmlhttps://www.torquenews.com/3768/owners-2014-chevrolet-silverados-are-furious-they-cant-get-their-ac-fixed
Vehicle will not switch out of auto for the 4x4.can not switch to 2wd.
Ac failed at 90k miles due to a leak in the condenser. Seems to be a common issue amongst these vehicles. The fail happened on the top right corner of one of the welds connecting an ac line. This the top right corner standing in the front of the truck.
My 2014 gmc sierra 1500 has a air conditioning leak in the condenser for the 2nd time.the first time was at 48,000 miles (2 yrs old) and now again at 92,000 (4yrs old).the first time the part was on national backorder, however i was able to locate one at a different dealership.i paid $600 for the replacement.now they want to charge me $1000.00 for the same thing.however they are willing to cut me a break down to $699.i believe this is because there is also a leak in the cooling system.i have contacted gm and there standard warranty is 1 yr on parts so they are not willing to anything about it.upon doing some internet searches this appears to be a wide spread problem.please note that the phone number on the uploaded paperwork is incorrect.
Air conditioning went out in april 2017. Dealer replaced schrader valve and reloaded refrigerant. Failed again in a few days. Dealer then told me gm had a design failer on air conditioning unit and did a nationwide recall of the a/c condensor.my air conditioner was not repaired until august 4, 2017 when the dealer got thea/c condensor.i not only paid $198 for the original fix, but also $350 for the final fix which i continue to monitor.all because of a design failure attributed to gm.why is this my problem and why do i have to pay?
The headlights on the truck are not as bright or as effective as they should be when traveling in the dark.i am forced to use the high beam far more than i would normally do in my car.even with the upgrade, the light is still weak. Even to the point that i decided to buy after market leds to replace them.the 2016 had a complete redesign of the headlights and i wonder why.as for the infotament system.it is weak to say it nicely.the fact that my 2014 model can not get the same features that they introduced in the 2015 (speech to text) and 2016 (car play) is appalling. Especially when they say the hardware is not there for the text to speech but there are 3rd vendors who can give it on the 2014 models.as for the rust proofing on this truck.it was cheaply done and the protective film is wearing off.i would take it to the dealership but i decided this spring i will have it professionally fixed with some rust proof paint and not the cheap wax that gm used.
I currently own a 2014 gmc sierra 1500 with 55,000 miles.on may 15 2017 the vehicle was diagnosed with needing an ac condenser at greiner buick gmc because the vehicle had stopped blowing cold air. We were told the part had to be ordered and they would call us when it arrived to be installed. That following day we received a phone call from the parts department at the dealership stating that the ac condenser is unavailable and they did not have an eta because the part was backordered. About a week had past, and being frustrated with having no ac , living in 110 degree weather and driving this vehicle with a 2 month old and 4 year old child, i was desperate to have it fixed. I contacted general motors directly to see what the issue was with the part and see if they could help me. After speaking to the representative, i got no answers besides they are "working on it." she told me this was a nationwide problem and they are trying to get the part available from the manufacturer. I told her my situation and the safety issue with no ac and the climate i live in and she told me they couldn't do anything or expedite getting the part. My husband and i looked into getting an aftermarket condenser and those too are unavailable. We did research and there are tons or complaints about the ac condenser breaking in the gmc sierras and chevy silverado models and gm has done nothing about recalling it. This part rarely fails in a vehicle, unless it is damaged. It is clear that this part is defective, andis unavailable even to be replaced.this is a huge safety concern and gm needs to address this. Still, 2 months later our vehicle still has no ac and gm has done nothing to help us.
Vehicle has shudder, wobble and vibration when being driven at speeds 40-80. Gmc has diagnosed as a tire issue but vehicle has been seen 14+ times and tires have all been road force balanced, numerous times. Gmc refuses to diagnose further and has not identified the cause of the problem. Vibration has affected other components. Commonly reported problem affecting 2014 gmc sierra trucks based on internet search.
There is a leak in my air conditioning condenser. When brought in for service i was told there is a nation-wide backorder on the condensers. I then had to bring in my truck for a ignition coil failure and was told by the dealership that they have been seeing a high number of leaking condensers and cannot get parts. While not a safety issue this is an extremely costly fix on a fairly new vehicle and seemsas though there is a high occurrence of failures and this needs to be brought to the attention of the public and gmc.
Brakes loose pressure, when pressed on uphill/down hill,in reverse.ac hose from condenser to compressor is faulty leak out all fluid
Air conditioning leak cabin becomes excessively hot
I have a leak in the a/c condenser.this is a very well known issue.there are stories written about this issue because it is so wide spread.at one point the parts were on back order, that is how many people have had issues.just contacted gm and they will do nothing about it.they do not consider this to be a safety issue.yet on the front page of even your website, there is an article about death's from heat rising.so a defective a/c system seems like a safety issue to me-here are the many stories written on the issue:https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/gm-air-conditioning-responds-439572983.htmlhttps://chevroletforum.com/forum/2014-2018-gmt-k2-110/2014-silverado-ac-problems-already-67170/page8/https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2018/gm-ac-compressor-condenser-problems-lawsuit.shtmlhttps://www.torquenews.com/3768/owners-2014-chevrolet-silverados-want-federal-trade-commission-force-recall-their-air-conditioning-problemshttp://www.radiatorhelpline.com/2017/06/2014-2017-chevy-gm-condenser-widespread-failure.htmlhttps://www.consumerclasslawyersblog.com/bunch-hot-air-ac-gmc-chevy-trucks-simply-not-work/
Leaking condensor
Ac quit working at 62,000 miles. Took it to the shop to see what was wrong. Was told the condenser needs to be replaced that will cost $800-$1,000.said that this vehicle is known to have issues by gmc and that they have not issued a recall.i am very disappointed that i am going to have to come out of pocket for this expense if gm is aware that there is an issue with the condenser needing replaced in this vehicle.
My truck.was.fixed.once for the sterring and is still.cutting out its.so.bad that its shutting the hole truck down.in the.middle.of the road an.on the highway or when u go to speed up it cuts out n the streen comes tight
Vehicle shakes excessively at highway speeds. Shaking is so bad that it causes seatbelts to lock. Multiple sets of tires and balancing have not solved the issue.
Air condition blowing hot air! leak in the condenser.
Water leaked through the 3rd brake light and stains the headliner
My truck only has 50000 miles and the air conditioner no longer blows cold air. I recharged they ac system an two months later it again only blows warm air.did research and numerous owners of this vehicle are having the same issue. Some have had it repaired and it has been identified as a faulty weld at the compressor. A manufacturer defect that gm refuses to repair.
Ac problem - my ac just went out for the third time since i bought this truck new in 2013. I went to have it repaired and was quoted ~$1,000 for a new ac condenser. After researching online, it looks like this is a very common and expensive problem that gm hasn't resolved.
I have taken my vehicle three times to the dealership for the radio systems turning off completely, not giving access to radio functions, and stays on after the vehicle is completely turned off. Now the issue is crossing over to the driver cluster control module where it turns off completely and restarts on its own while i'm driving. Dealership has never given me a solution or have contacted me since then. When i called about on going issue, they stated that they cannot do anything unless the problem is present when at the dealership even after i explained it happens at random times. They refused to listen and look up prior service history. Did prior research and located an article that radio and cluster were going to be part of a recall but gm claimed it was not an issue.
The air conditioning started blowing hot air. It went out in june andi hear now wont be fixed until october. It is unsafe to have young kids or my parents in the car.
A/c stopped cooling last spring/summer.i live in louisiana so driving without a/c was not an option, especially with children and elderly parents . I was told that this was a nationwide issue due to a faulty design, but that gmc would not pay to repair it. I had to pay over $1,000 out of pocket to get this fixed. Gmc needs to reimburse everyone who has had this problem.
When driving at higher speeds (50+ mph - typically on the highway) the entire truck shakes: the console, steering wheel, etc. You can feel it in the seats and the floor boards. It feels as though the truck is going to go out of control or break down at any moment. Over the past two years, we have had our entire truck suspension, alignment, brakes/rotors, etc inspected numerous times and were told more than once by gm technicians that this vehicle performs under acceptable conditions according to general motors, even though they agree that it does not feel acceptable. My last inspection was today and i was told the same thing.
Ac condenser has a leak i believe is to a bad welding on one off de lines this happen on june 29 on my 2014 gmc sierra 1500 whit only 55000 miles on it i been reading a lot complains only i wonder if this is going to come to a safety recall
Mark porter gm superstore in pomeroy, oh sold me a new truck with unresolved recalls in december 2014, one being gm recall 14192.the engine in my truck failed on january 1, 2015, and the recalls were disclosed to me when the truck was towed in for repair, approximately 2 weeks after purchase.the aforementioned safety recall is in reference to a potential transfer case selector malfunction.after repair of the recall, i had a malfunction of the transfer case selector, except it became stuck in 4 wheel drive, instead of shifting to neutral.i had also been experiencing issues with the cruise control, which i asked them to address while it was in there for the 4 wheel drive selector problem.the service dept reset the 4wd selector again, and told me that my cruise control issue was related to the 4wd issue.i still have issues with the cruise control, and have requested a buy back. It has been approximately 5 weeks since i informed them that i feel my vehicle is unsafe, and nobody has made any effort to help at all.i would like to return my vehicle for a full refund, as well as i would like to see the dealership fined for selling me a vehicle with an unresolved safety recall.i feel this is unacceptable on their behalf.
I was driving on the interstate and a message stating "service stabilitrack" message appears simultaneously with the check engine light and service traction control, the car loses the ability to accelerate and maintain speed. I kept driving because there was no safe place to stop, and after a few miles the door locks unlocked then locked, the info screen flashed and then the engine revved and appeared to drive normally.several miles later it happened again, over and over.when i reached my nieghborhood the car completely powered off.
Intermittently, when applying the brakes to stop for a red light, the engine wants to keep the vehicle going at the same speed and fights the brake so the vehicle cannot stop.shifting the gear shift into neutral allows the brakes to work but the engine rpm revs up to 2500 rpm for about 15 seconds before dropping to idle.if the driver didn't apply the brakes hard enough or shift into neutral, the vehicle would overpower the brakes and drive into anything ahead.analogy:it acts as if the cruise control was on (and it's not) and tried to keep the same forward speed no matter the brake application.dealer cannot reproduce the problem, no alert warning light.some times, going at highway speed, taking foot off accelerator and expecting vehicle to start slowing down, it stays at same speed for about 15 secondsbefore dropping rpms.this has been happening, intermittently, for a few months.
The vehicle 4wd system remains engaged and will not disengage. Upon further investigation the system effects steering and drivability. Also effects speed of the vehicle. The vehicle utilizes a code c0398 and show a message of the dash service 4wd.this is due to faulty software installed by the manufacturer. Will cause damage to mechanical parts if driven on the vehicle and is a safety hazard. Gm reference # issued to me when issue complaint of the out of pocket cost to update the software as required by gm to fix their operating system. My reference number is 9-5058496526. Same issue resulted in 2015 gmc sierras that caused gm to issue a service bulletin #28770. Software issues are not wear and tear components. Gm faulty software is the responsibility of the gm as they can cause safety and damage to the mechanical parts of the vehicle.
Complete loss of power steering along with speed control being disabled when a turn signal is activated.recall 17v414000 has already been completed and did not correct the problem.both of these issues occur during the same drive cycle (issues have not happened simultaneously but will both occur at some point during the same drive cycle) they seem to only happen on drive cycles that last longer than 45 minutes.
We had the vehicle recall notice about the stability and power assist repaired at our preferred gm dealership, james wood, before the problem occurred because of a recall notice we received last year.sunday, january 30, 2018 the dash displayed power assist limited and also displayed abs light . Service engine soon, so we brought it to the dealership again.this time the vehicle was revving high but no display. The dealership observed the vehicle doing this but we were told the recall had already been performed.there is a revised product safety recall reference number n172085440.i'm alerting the nhtsa of this.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving the gear shifted into neutral inadvertently and caused the vehicle to abruptly accelerate. The contact also stated the vehicle consumed the engine oil prematurely and exhibited electrical failure with the windows opening and closing independently and the headlights failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failures however; the dealer advised there was nothing they could do to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified f the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.
Yesterday i was driving home on the highway driving approximately 75mph when without any warning a stability steering control light flashed on the dashboard behind my steering wheel. The car immediately jolted from driving mid 70's down to an immediate 67mph. This speed limit was the last thing that flashed before my dashboard blacked out, the steering column locked and the vehicle entirely lost power while driving. Seconds later my windshield wipers sporadically started moving (i did not engage the switch) and i watched the temperature go up from 70 to 80 without touching the gauge manually. The car jolted for almost 10 miles sporadically losing control intermittently and when i exited off the highway and made a left hand turn at a low speed (under 15mph) the steering completely locked and the car pulled off to the side of the road toward a curb. I gained control of the vehicle manually which was difficult but i did correct the drive path back onto the road. I pulled into the dealership at a low rate of speed and the car did the same thing as it did when i exited the highway. I'm in a loaner and the dealer has my vehicle. This vehicle was purchased used roughly 2 months ago from a registered gmc dealer with 40k miles on it. It now has roughly 44k on it. I have made 1 payment on this vehicle thus far.
I was driving down the road and all of the sudden it was if my transmission disengaged and my car lost power. It then automatically came back on and the 'service stabilitrak' lights came on. I nearly avoided an accident and was able to pull off onto the side of the road.

The vehicle was not serviced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the air conditioner blew out hot air instead of cold air. The vehicle was taken to the gmc classic dealer (2700 interstate 35 east carlton, texas 75007 phone 469-557-1788) where it was diagnosed that the air conditioning condenser failed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer (mechanic gmc 3950 south center express way mckinney, texas 75007 phone 469-557-1788) where it was diagnosed that the air condition hose failed. The air conditioning hose was replaced. The manufacturer was notified.the approximate failure mileage was 57,300.

Went through car wash this afternoon, upon leaving the car wash attempted to use the wipers to clean excess water off windshield. The wipers failed to work at all, tried all speeds and still nothing. All other functions on the lever work as expected, such as wiper fluid, turn signals, ect. Lucky i was near home and not far away and caught in rain where the situation could have became much more serious.
I am recieving stabilatrac , abs, powersteering, errors. My wipers will only work if i hit my brakes. The cruise control doesn't work anymore.
These are the worst headlights. I live in rural alabama and cant see edges of road or more than 50' ahead. Cant change the bulb to improve it. Very dangerous at night for me and anyone else on the road!
Headlights are very dim, not excited about driving in the dark, might as well use a flashlight
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving, the air conditioner blew out hot air instead of cold. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the vehicle was leaking freon. The vehicle was not repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was unable to provide further assistance. The failure mileage was 39,000.consumer stated that there are many complaints about the 2014 to 2017 gm condenser leaking and going out. Consumer already informed gm (complaint) and the california epa about the problem. Having a faulty condenser that goes our means leaking freon into the atomsphere. The safety concern is if your driving and when you have a heavy moisture problem (rain) your inside windscreen could fog up and resulting to bad visibility. Updated 8/16/18
Ac condenser has failed and gmc is unable/unwilling to supply parts for repairs.my vehicle's problem was identified two months ago, the dealer notified me that the part is backordered and there is not eta on the part.this is a safety issue because without ac, the defroster does not work, and there is no/limited visibility.
The headlights on the truck are not as bright or as effective as they should be when traveling in the dark.i am forced to use the high beam far more than i would normally do in my car.even with the upgrade, the light is still weak. Even to the point that i decided to buy after market leds to replace them.the 2016 had a complete redesign of the headlights and i wonder why.as for the infotament system.it is weak to say it nicely.the fact that my 2014 model can not get the same features that they introduced in the 2015 (speech to text) and 2016 (car play) is appalling. Especially when they say the hardware is not there for the text to speech but there are 3rd vendors who can give it on the 2014 models.as for the rust proofing on this truck.it was cheaply done and the protective film is wearing off.i would take it to the dealership but i decided this spring i will have it professionally fixed with some rust proof paint and not the cheap wax that gm used.
Began running rough bad lifters. Also interior is beginning to rust. Hheadlights are terrible it aka nearly impossible to see.
Takata recall, parking assist sensors quit working. Abs lights stay on with the alert "service stabilitrak". Manufacture faulty electrical ground is possibly the source of the problem. My truck is not even 5 years old yet. There have already been a lot of reports of this same issue by other owners.this is a safety problem that can cause collisions when depending on this feature to work.
Headlights are dangerous! dealer performed update( new bulbs and increase voltage to bcm) but improvement was minimal. Have even tried led conversion, with very litle improvement. I have had several veihcles with projector system, and had zero complaints. I have looked a projector lens on other vehicles, and they do not have impurities (tiny air bubbles) in the lens. I believe the problem lies in the sub-par lenses.this creates an extremely dangerous situation for night driving.
While driving in the rain the windshield wipers just stop working, the head light indicator comes on and there is no response from windshield wipers, the rain gets harder and turned the wipers back off the headlight indicator goes off, try turning the windshield wipers back on and nothing. So when on an interstate in rain with semi trucks around you or just following another vehicle, if it is racing or pouring or whatever the weather, you need the wipers to work, this is a big problem, i have searched on line issues of this and it is something that has been a complaint from brand new and still on going. Recalls were only posted for 2 models of vehicles but the problem is with the pickups as well. The wipers are a very important part of a safe ride and it is important to have this issue fixed. The price we pay for vehicles they should be safely equipped for this price.
There truly is no accident at this time. However ... If this condition isn't corrected, there will be accidents. These may result in not only loss of life or property, but possible criminal prosecution. The issue: the projector headlamp design of the 2014 gmc sierra is extremely subpar for lighting the roadway ahead of you. Individuals, in order to not "outdrive" their lights, would probably have to go below posted minimum speed limits on highways, presenting yet another issue for the driver as well as those who would approach from the rear in nighttime driving conditions. I contacted gmc ... Aware of the issue. No help at this time. I got the impression from the operator that "not enough people have filed complaints." i'm guessing that when the catastrophic and tragic happens, it will not matter that not enough people filed complaints ... Officially. Slight research on the internet will show many individuals complaining about the issue. But gmc's admission that they are "aware" but are taking no action at this point is very disturbing. I would have thought that design issues would have had to be cleared by an oversight agency of some sort? i just discovered the extremely scary feeling of "driving in the dark" ... Basically ... After having my truck since thanksgiving. But i drive mostly in the daylight, and have been on interstate 20 in one of the busiest sections with traffic at night ... Not realizing how much others' lights were helping. When driving alone on a rural road, however, it is tantamount to driving with a flashlight when it comes to safety. I am wanting to trust that the agency tasked with safety will please look into this issue? before someone or multiples lose their lives and lawsuits ensue?
Not bright enough. It is not safe to drive dark countryside roads. No side visibility at all. I almost hit a cow.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving at unknown speeds, the air conditioner unit blew out hot air through the vents. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (becker buick gmc inc, 636 east sprague ave, spokane, wa 99202) where it was diagnosed that the air condenser unit needed to be replaced. The freon had leaked out of the compartment. The contact was informed that the parts were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired.

Vehicle has shudder, wobble and vibration when being driven at speeds 40-80. Gmc has diagnosed as a tire issue but vehicle has been seen 14+ times and tires have all been road force balanced, numerous times. Gmc refuses to diagnose further and has not identified the cause of the problem. Vibration has affected other components. Commonly reported problem affecting 2014 gmc sierra trucks based on internet search.
For over 45k miles i have complained off a vibration coming from the rear of my gmc sierra at 65 to 75 miles per hour. My supporting dealer that i purchased it from can't find the problem and is most likely out of business.this is an ongoing issue. Recently i went under the truck to find the entire frame is rusted from the gas tank back to the rear off the vehicle around the spare tire and elsewhere. Whats wrong with gm manufacturing, are they that cheap, that no paint is place on the frame. Additionally the chrome wheels that came with the vehicle are corroding yet another cheap process that gm refuses to address. Mind you i have always fixed and repaired my own vehicles. I have washed this vehicle so much by using a cold water hose under the vehicle and the top as well to get the salt and brine used by the northern states off the car and yet i still get the corrosion. How do i get gm. To fix the wrongs they have produced.
