MY 2014 GMC SIERRA SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY FAMILY. IN SOME CASES ALL ELECTRICAL BLINKS AND IT CONTINUES TO DRIVE WHILE TEMPORARILY LOSING POWER STEERING AND OTHER FEATURES AND OTHER TIMES TURNING OFF COMPLETELY UNTIL COMING TO A STOP. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ~$400 TO DO DIAGNOSTICS ON A G218 BOLT THAT THEY WERE TOLD BY GMC THAT IT IS RELATED TO. THIS ISSUE CAME FROM THE FACTORY THIS WAY. WHILE NOT WANTING TO PAY THAT FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND RESEARCHING MYSELF, I FOUND 100S OF VIDEOS ONLINE SIMILAR TO THE ONE BELOW WHICH SHOWS THIS ISSUE HAPPENING TO OWNERS OF THE GMC TRUCKS. WHEN I SPOKE WITH GMC CUSTOMER CARE ABOUT THIS, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE ISSUE. THERE ARE GOING TO BE TRUCK OWNERS THAT LOSE THEIR LIFE ALONG WITH ANY PASSENGERS IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT TAKEN CARE. I AM VERY SCARE FOR OUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF COUNTLESS OTHERS LIKE THE LINK BELOW HAVE POSTED ABOUT THIS KNOWN ISSUE.

WHILE BACKING UP INTO PARKING SPACE, TRUCK FELT LIKE IT WAS PUSHING SOMETHING. BRAKE PEDDLE BECAME HARD AND WHEN NOT STOP TRUCK, CAUSING VEHICLE TO HIT POLE AND DAMAGE BOTH THE TRUCK AND THE POLE.

DRIVING AT LOW SPEED IN TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY, BRAKES FAILED THEN LOCKED-UP CAUSING TRUCK TO SKID AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT.

AT SLOW SPEED BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT THE BREAK PEDAL TURNED REALLY HARD TO PRESS TO STOP THE TRUCK, IT TOOK A LOT OF FORCE TO STOP IT; SHIFTED THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL TO PREVENT HITTING A POLE, SHIFTED THE TRUCK BACK TO DRIVE THE TRUCK WAS STILL SHOWING THE SAME PROBLEM THE VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS USELESS (UNSAFE) SHIFTED BACK INTO NEUTRAL AS PEDESTRIANS WERE WALKING BY AND USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK! PLEASE INVESTIGATE INTO THIS ISSUE THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 50K MILES AND ALL SERVICE IS DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP - AFTER TALKING TO THEM TODAY THEY SAID THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY THE POTENTIAL COST TO REPAIR WILL BE $2000

NO WARNING OF BRAKE FAILURE ESPECIALLY WHEN BACKING DOWN A HILL AT LOW R.P.M WITH A BOAT TRAILER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED A.S.A.P. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE DISPLAYED AND NO ISSUES BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I'M JUST GLAD IT WAS ME AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE ( WIFE ) BACKING US IN THE WATER. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS AS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. SOMEONE COULD HAVE LOST THEIR LIFE

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED MY BRAKE PEDDLE BECAME HARD. I WAS IN MILD TRAFFIC SO I WAS ONLY TRAVELING AROUND 40 MILES MPH ON I 287 I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP QUICKLY. I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO MY DEALER FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND PARTS OF THE PUMP WERE ALSO SUCKED INTO THE ENGINE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE OIL PAN REMOVED TO REMOVE ANY DEBRIS WHICH WOULD COST AROUND $1100. AT THIS TIME I STILL DO NOT HAVE THE TRUCK BACK OR REPAIR INVOICE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND DID SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH THE VACUUM PUMPS ON OTHER GMC PICKUPS. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING 60-75 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MILLER BUICK GMC (920 US-1, ISELIN, NJ 08830, (732) 596-7752), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

WE HAD THE VEHICLE RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE STABILITY AND POWER ASSIST REPAIRED AT OUR PREFERRED GM DEALERSHIP, JAMES WOOD, BEFORE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED BECAUSE OF A RECALL NOTICE WE RECEIVED LAST YEAR. SUNDAY, JANUARY 30, 2018 THE DASH DISPLAYED POWER ASSIST LIMITED AND ALSO DISPLAYED ABS LIGHT . SERVICE ENGINE SOON, SO WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS REVVING HIGH BUT NO DISPLAY. THE DEALERSHIP OBSERVED THE VEHICLE DOING THIS BUT WE WERE TOLD THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. THERE IS A REVISED PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL REFERENCE NUMBER N172085440. I'M ALERTING THE NHTSA OF THIS.
