2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN ORDER TO AVOID UNEXPECTED EXPENSES THAT ONE SOMETIMES INQUIRE WHEN WE PURCHASE A USED VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE TRUCK HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT MECHANICAL ISSUES I'VE HEAD ENGINE POWER LOSS PROBLEMS, HAVE GONE THROUGH TWO AIR CONDITIONER MAJOR ISSUES, RADIATOR GONE BAD, TRANSMISSION GO OUT AND THE MOST RECENT MY ROOF STARTED TO LEAK. AS I DID MORE RESEARCH I CAME TO DISCOVER THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER IN THIS PREDICAMENT THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS. I'M REACHING OUT TO FOR ASSISTANCE IN REGARDS TO THESE MATTERS, SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE GMC HAS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAULTY VEHICLES IF THAT'S IS THE CASE. THEY ONLY GIVE THE GO AROUND TO CUSTOMERS LIKE MYSELF THAT ON TOP OF HAVING A CAR PAYMENT WE HAVE TO SOMEHOW PAY HIGH MECHANICAL BILLS FOR ISSUES THAT SHOULD NOT BE ACCRUING TO NEW VEHICLES.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ROLLED THE PASSENGER WINDOW UP THE STEREO CUT OFF THE GAUGES CUT OUT AND THE WIPERS WIPES IN ONE TIME. THEN A MESSAGE STATING STABILITRAK NEEDED TO BE SERVICED AND ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WAS OUT

STABILITRAK WARNING COMES UP AND THEN IT WARNS ABOUT REDUCTION IN STEERING ASSIST. WHEN I AM PARKING OR DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED IT IS HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL. MY TRUCK ALSO SHUTS DOWN AND COMES RIGHT BACK ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING SEIZED AND THE STABILITY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLASSIC BUICK GMC ARLINGTON (1400 E INTERSTATE 20, ARLINGTON, TX 76018, 817-264-7782) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITH THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,000.

I WAS TURNING OFF OF A MAIN THOROUGHFARE INTO A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT AND LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER MY VEHICLE FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE STEERING FINALLY RECOVERED SO I COULD MAKE THE TURN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GMC TO REPAIR ON 9/21/2018. MY STEERING HAD ALREADY HAD A RECALL IN 2017 IN WHICH THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE. ONE YEAR, 9/11/2018, LATER, I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THEY HAD ANOTHER CUSTOMER IN THE WEEK BEFORE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HE ALSO STATED THEY HAD RECEIVED AN INTERNAL MEMO ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THE FIX WAS CHANGING OUT THE BATTERY CABLES. THEY CHARGED ME OVER $800 FOR THIS REPAIR. BASED ON THE INFORMATION I WAS GIVEN ABOUT THE INTERNAL MEMO AND THE OTHER CUSTOMER WITH THE SAME ISSUE, I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. I CONTACTED GMC ABOUT MY CONCERNS; THE COST OF THE REPAIR AND THE DANGEROUS SITUATION OF LOSING STEERING. ANNABELLE WITH GMC BASICALLY SAID THERE WERE A LOT MORE DANGEROUS ISSUES REPORTED. IT SEEMS THE VEHICLE ISSUE HAS TO RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH BEFORE THEY WILL TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.

A/C COMPRESSOR FAILURE, $1267.43 TO REPLACE BY CHEVY DEALERSHIP. ONLY, 33,000 MILES. A KNOWN CHRONIC PROBLEM AS FOUND ON INTERNET, GM STATES OUT OF WARRANTY

WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK AFTER EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME (I.E. 1 HOUR OR MORE) THE VEHICLE WILL FLASH A STABILITRAK WARNING AND THEN POWER THE VEHICLE OFF. THIS HAPPENED WHILE MY SON, GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE ON A TRIP TO FLORIDA DRIVING 70 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I TOOK TO A DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE BATTERY CABLES WERE LOOSE. 4,000 MILES THE TRUCK HAS DONE THIS EPISODE AGAIN AND THE DEALER NOW TELLS ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC RACK AND PINION ON A TRUCK WITH 65K MILES WITH A COST OF OVER $3K. THERE ARE NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF THIS HAPPENING WITH TRUCKS JUST LIKE MINE AND GM ISN'T RESPONSIBLE? HARD TO FATHOM THAT IN THE 5 VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED, NOT ONCE HAVE I HAD TO REPLACE A RACK AND PINION AND THE NEWEST VEHICLE THAT I HAVE EVERY OWNED HAS THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL, THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS KEEPS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN,WHETHER IT'S PARKED OR DRIVING. TAKATA RECALL, THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND ROUGH SHIFTING WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR TAKING OFF,HOWEVER THE WORST SEEMS TO BE WHEN SLOWING DOWN

THE SERVICE TRAILER WIRING WARNING COMES ON WITH NO TRAILER CONNECTED OR IF THERE IS A TRAILER CONNECTED YOU HAVE NO TRAILER BRAKES THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK TO 4 DIFFERENT DEALERS BUT THE LIGHT WENT OUT BEFORE I GOT THERE AND THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM THIS STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW AND STILL HAPPENS IT SEEMS TO BE THE WORST WHEN IT IS DAMP OR RAINING BUT NOT ALWAYS IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE TRAVELING

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK AT SLOW SPEEDS AND APPLYING BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL GET HARD AND UNABLE TO STOP VEHICLE. IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE BACKING A TRAILER TOWN HILL TOWARDS A LAKE AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK ONLY ABLE TO HAVE FRIEND BLOCK THE TIRE SO I COULD PUT IN DRIVE. IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE APPROACHING STOP SIGNS AND ALSO FREQUENTLY IN PARKING LOTS.
