TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED TAHT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUDDER. NO WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO YES CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 200 SATURN WAY, HURRICANE, WV, 25526, FOR AN OIL CHANGE A WEEK PRIOR TO THE FAILURE WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO ADDITIONAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE.

BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH BAD LIFTERS. ALSO INTERIOR IS BEGINNING TO RUST. HHEADLIGHTS ARE TERRIBLE IT AKA NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE.

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.

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.

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.

TL* 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.

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."

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.
