2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

WHEN BACKING DOWN A STEEP HILL OR BACK A BOAT DOWN THE BOAT RAMP, THE BRAKE PEDAL GET HARD AND THE TRUCK DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. DRIVING ON A FLAT SURFACE I HAVEN'T HAD AN ISSUE BUT IT IS VERY SCARY BACKING THE BOAT INTO THE WATER FEELING THE BRAKES AREN'T DOING ITS JOB.

WITHIN ABOUT 15 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP MY VACUUM PUMP ON THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED, WHILE I WAS TOWING A PONTOON BOAT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS VERY SCARED THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP BUT EVENTUALLY I SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH TO PULL INTO A GAS STATION IN WARSAW, IN. LUCKILY WHEN THIS HAPPENED THERE WERE VERY FEW OTHER VEHICLES OUT ON THE ROAD OTHERWISE THIS STORY MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT ENDING. THIS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY 15 IN MILFORD, IN.

THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK. BOTH TIMES IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND GOOD WEATHER CONDITIONS. WHILE PULLING IN MY DRIVEWAY AT LOW SPEED WHEN I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WAS HARD AND WOULD BARELY DEPRESS. THERE WAS NO POWER ASSISTED BRAKING AND IT TOOK ME PRESSING AS HARD AS POSSIBLE WITH BOTH FEET TO GET MY TRUCK STOPPED BEFORE I HIT MY GARAGE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I WAS TRAILERING MY 1500 LB FISHING BOAT. I WAS BACKING IT DOWN THE RAMP AND BRAKES FAILED AGAIN. I HAD TO AGAIN PRESS BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND USE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO STOP. THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE GRINDING SOUND IN THE BRAKES WHILE TRYING TO STOP. AGAIN AS IF THERE WERE NO POWER BRAKES. BOTH INSTANCES OCCURRED WHILE GOING 2 TO 3 MPH BUT IF IT HAPPENED IN AN AREA WITH PEDESTRIANS OR AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS PROPERTY DAMAGE AND INJURIES. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND FORCE GM TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION ASAP.

WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP, TRUCK WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY BY WEEKS, INDEPENDENT SHOP REPLACED THE VACUUM AIR PUMP FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS MOVING VERY SLOW ,IN A PARKING LOT, NO ONE WAS HURT AND NO DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS. I ALREADY HAD BY BRAKES FIXED MY GM BECAUSE OF A BAD SQUEAK WHEN PRESSING ON MY BRAKES. I RECENTLY JUST CHANGED MY MASTER CYLINDER BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GET STUCK ON CERTAIN OCCASIONS WHEN DRIVING. SOMETIMES HAVING ME TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. SOMETIMES I WOULD HAVE THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE TRUCK WOULD STILL KEEP MOVING. IT WOULD HAPPEN SPORADICALLY. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING IN TRAFFIC OR THROUGH A PARKING LOT.

MY 2014 GMC SIERRA PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID WENT BAD. TOOK IT TO KNIGHT AUTOMOTIVE, INC., IN PLATTSBURGH, NY FOR REPAIR. AFTER REPAIR I DROVE HOME ONLY TO BE TOLD BY BILL DELORD GMC IN LEBANON, OH - AND BOERCHERDING GMC IN CINCINNATI, THAT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WAS DESTROYED. KNIGHT PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK BY IMPROPERLY REPAIRING MY VEHICLE.

WHEN BRAKING AT SLOW SPEEDS, LIKE WHEN IDLING IN TRAFFIC OR ROLLING THROUGH A PARKING LOT, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED IT IS VERY HARD, LIKE WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH THE VEHICLES ENGINE OFF. AT TIMES I HAVE HAD TO USED BOTH FEET TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THE TRY AND STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS ALSO VERY HARD TO STOP WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS.

FOR OVER 45K MILES I HAVE COMPLAINED OFF A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE REAR OF MY GMC SIERRA AT 65 TO 75 MILES PER HOUR. MY SUPPORTING DEALER THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND IS MOST LIKELY OUT OF BUSINESS.THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. RECENTLY I WENT UNDER THE TRUCK TO FIND THE ENTIRE FRAME IS RUSTED FROM THE GAS TANK BACK TO THE REAR OFF THE VEHICLE AROUND THE SPARE TIRE AND ELSEWHERE. WHATS WRONG WITH GM MANUFACTURING, ARE THEY THAT CHEAP, THAT NO PAINT IS PLACE ON THE FRAME. ADDITIONALLY THE CHROME WHEELS THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE ARE CORRODING YET ANOTHER CHEAP PROCESS THAT GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS. MIND YOU I HAVE ALWAYS FIXED AND REPAIRED MY OWN VEHICLES. I HAVE WASHED THIS VEHICLE SO MUCH BY USING A COLD WATER HOSE UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THE TOP AS WELL TO GET THE SALT AND BRINE USED BY THE NORTHERN STATES OFF THE CAR AND YET I STILL GET THE CORROSION. HOW DO I GET GM. TO FIX THE WRONGS THEY HAVE PRODUCED.
