2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

BRAKES SUDDENLY LOCK AND THE PEDDLE TO BREAK 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..

STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH BRAKES, PEDAL IS GETTING HARD AT LOW SPEEDS. DONT HAVE TROUBLE UNTIL IN AT RED LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. NO CHECK ENGINE SEEMS TO COME UP YET.

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!

POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT HARD TO STEER. VERY DANGEROUS IT HAPPENS OUT OF NOWHERE.

WHEN TRUCK IS PUT IN REVERSE, ALL POWER BRAKES ARE LOST. ASSUMPTION IS A FAULT VACUUM PUMP

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
