2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

TL* 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE DRIVE SIDE DOOR AND CAVED IN THE DOOR DRIVING AT 60 MPH. THE DRIVER REAR AND FRONT WINDOW WERE BLOWN OUT. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A CUT TO HER LEFT LEG, SHOULDER AND BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THE OTHER DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES AND ALSO REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT HER ONSTAR DID NOT FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

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

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.

MY VEHICLE BRAKES BECOME SPONGY OR PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY IN AND VEHICLE WILL STRUGGLE TO STOP AT LOW SPEEDS. SUCH AS WHEN I PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE OR BACKING UP.

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.
