2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

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.

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.

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.

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.HTML HTTPS://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.SHTML HTTPS://WWW.TORQUENEWS.COM/3768/OWNERS-2014-CHEVROLET-SILVERADOS-WANT-FEDERAL-TRADE-COMMISSION-FORCE-RECALL-THEIR-AIR-CONDITIONING-PROBLEMS HTTP://WWW.RADIATORHELPLINE.COM/2017/06/2014-2017-CHEVY-GM-CONDENSER-WIDESPREAD-FAILURE.HTML HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERCLASSLAWYERSBLOG.COM/BUNCH-HOT-AIR-AC-GMC-CHEVY-TRUCKS-SIMPLY-NOT-WORK/

LOSS OF BRAKES AT LOW SPEED, FORWARD AND REVERSE. BRAKE PEDAL GETS STIFF AND BRAKES BARELY STOP THE TRUCK.

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 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.

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.

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 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 ONE REPLACED. YOU DONT KNOW THEY DONT WORK BECAUSE THEY MAKE A LOCKING SOUND WHEN ACTIVATED. THEY JUST DONT LOCK, VERY DANGEROUS GLAD HE DIDNT FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE.
