2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

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.

TL* 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.

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. *DL 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).

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 LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER THE TRUCK HAD AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIPTECHNICIAN CHECKED AND FOUND OIL PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE SOLENOID CIRCUIT OPEN TECHNICIAN SCAN FOR CODES AND DC TCPO6 DA IS SNAP TECHNICIAN PERFORMED SYSTEM TEST AND MEASURE THE RESISTANT OF THE OIL PRESSURE CONTROLS SOLENOID AT X15 FOR THE SOLENOID AND THE INTERNAL HARNESS READ OPEN TECHNICIAN REMOVED THE OIL PAN AND FOUND THE SOLENOID CONNECTION HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED WHICH WAS NOT PROPERLY ASSEMBLED AT THE MANUFACTURE AND TECHNICIAN ALSO DISCOVERED TRANSMISSION LINES LEAKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE SERVICE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,900.

HAD THE HEATED SEATS TURNED ON ONE DAY, ALL OF A SUDED FELT A REALLY HOT SENSATION ON MY LOWER BACK. I TURNED THEM OFF THOUGHT 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.

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?

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.

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.
