2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

TWICE WHILE TURNING RIGHT AT A MODERATE SPEED THE STABILITRAC SYSTEM TOOK OVER AND STARTED COUNTER-STEERING TO THE LEFT WHILE STILL MOVING AROUND A RIGHT HAND CORNER. PRIOR TO THIS THE STABILITRAC WARNING WAS INTERMITTENTLY ALARMING AT RANDOM. THE VEHICLE ALSO LOST ALL POWER AND THE MOTOR DIED AT ONE POINT. DEALERSHIP THOUGHT IT MAY BE ATTRIBUTED TO A LOOSE GROUND WIRE THAT THEY HAD FOUND UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD.

FIRST INSTANCE: (THIS ISSUE HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN ONE DAY BEFORE BEING ABLE TO BE REPAIRED) WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND THE MOTOR DIED WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROX. 35MPH FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. WHEN IT POWERED BACK UP EVERYTHING WAS RESET AS IF THE BATTERY HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND A "LOOSE GROUND WIRE" UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD AND ATTRIBUTED THE OCCURRENCE TO THIS. SECOND OCCURRENCE: (LESS THAN A MONTH LATER AND HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A FEW MINUTES) WHILE TRAVELLING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT APPROX. 70MPH AND AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND THE MOTOR DIED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. WHEN IT POWERED BACK UP EVERYTHING WAS RESET AS IF THE BATTERY HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY JUST MOMENTS LATER AT A MORE MODERATE SPEED, AGAIN WITH ZERO WARNING. DEALERSHIP NOW STATES THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL WIRE & HARNESS.

HAD THE RECALL FOR THE LOW MANEUVER TURNING ISSUE PERFORMED AT A DEALERSHIP WHEN I HAD MY OIL CHANGED ON AUGUST 15, 2017. LESS THAN A WEEK LATER THE ISSUE OCCURRED WHEN TURNING INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HONOR MY COMPLAINT TO FIX IT. THE STATEMENT I HEAR IS "WE CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" BUT I'M TELLING THEM IT HAPPENED. EITHER THE PROCEDURE TO RECTIFY THE RECALL ISN'T WORKING OR THEY DIDN'T PERFORM IT CORRECTLY. I NEED HELP.

RADIATOR LEAK. TOOK TRUCK TO SHOP TO FIND OUT WHY FLUID LEAKING UNDER TRUCK. UPON INSPECTION THEY FOUND THAT THE RADIATOR HAD FRACTURED. THE REPAIR PEOPLE FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL IN 2014 FOR GMC SIERRA'S, BUT OURS WASN'T LISTED. A RADIATOR SHOULD NOT FAIL ON A 3 1/2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE SPECIFIC SPECIAL COVERAGE # 15829 STATED THAT CYCLING OF THE THERMOSTAT MAY RESULT IN STRESS FRACTURES OF THE RADIATOR. THE REPAIR PEOPLE FELT THIS WAS WHAT HAPPENED. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE IN TOWN AND NOT TRAVELING. WE CONTACTED GMC DIRECTLY TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ACTUALLY TOLD US TO FILE A COMPLAINT HERE. THE RESULTING BILL WAS $1,346.07. $648.17 IN PARTS, $633.45 IN LABOR. NEEDLESS TO SAY WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING ANOTHER TRUCK, THIS BRAND WILL NOT BE ON OUR LIST.

AIR CONDITIONING HOSE BETWEEN CONDENSER AND COMPRESSOR FAILED. NEEDS A BRACKET TO HOLD IT. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS BUT HAS NOT CALLED FOR RECALL. THEY CHARGE 700.00 TO FIX. VIRTUALLY ALL 2014 CHEVY AND GM TRUCKS ARE AFFECTED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH GM. TRUCK HAD ONLY 60K MILES.

AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT IN APRIL 2017. DEALER REPLACED SCHRADER VALVE AND RELOADED REFRIGERANT. FAILED AGAIN IN A FEW DAYS. DEALER THEN TOLD ME GM HAD A DESIGN FAILER ON AIR CONDITIONING UNIT AND DID A NATIONWIDE RECALL OF THE A/C CONDENSOR. MY AIR CONDITIONER WAS NOT REPAIRED UNTIL AUGUST 4, 2017 WHEN THE DEALER GOT THE A/C CONDENSOR. I NOT ONLY PAID $198 FOR THE ORIGINAL FIX, BUT ALSO $350 FOR THE FINAL FIX WHICH I CONTINUE TO MONITOR. ALL BECAUSE OF A DESIGN FAILURE ATTRIBUTED TO GM. WHY IS THIS MY PROBLEM AND WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY?

VEHICLE SHAKES EXCESSIVELY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SHAKING IS SO BAD THAT IT CAUSES SEATBELTS TO LOCK. MULTIPLE SETS OF TIRES AND BALANCING HAVE NOT SOLVED THE ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING LOST ALL DASH LIGHTS,, HAD TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD SHUT OFF ENGINE THEN RESTART. CAME BACK ON.
