2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

TRUCK HAS STOPPED ON RANDOM OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASED IN JULY 2017. BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO HAVE YET TO DIAGNOSE ISSUE. SIMPLY LOSS OF STEERING AND ELECTRICAL POWER. EACH TIME IT GOES TO DEALER ,THEY CANNOT REPLICATE ERROR. COULD BE RELATED TO RECALL N172085440 BUT NOT SURE AT THIS POINT. HAVE A VIDEO OF LAST INSTANCE OF ISSUE ON AUGUST 5, 2017 BUT UNABLE TO LOAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V414000 (STEERING). THE DEALER (HERTRICH BUICK GMC OF SALISBURY, 2016 N SALISBURY BLVD, SALISBURY, MD 21801, 410-202-8791) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WOULD PROVIDE THE SOLUTION TO REPAIR THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WHILE PARKING VEHICLE I TRIED TO MAKE A SLIGHT RIGHT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED OUT OF MY HAND UNDER EXTREME FORCE AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED I TRIED TO TURN RIGHT A FEW MORE TIMES. EVERY TIME I DID THIS THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD TURN ITSELF IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION ABOUT A QUARTER TURN AND THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD TURN OFF LIKE THE COMPUTER WAS RESETING. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY, BUT DID AFTER TURNING THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION FOR A FEW SECONDS.

THE TRUCK STARTS TO VIBRATE TERRIBLY WHEN IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 70-85, EVEN IF ON NEW SMOOTH SET OF HIGHWAY TRUCK WILL STILL VIBRATE. I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT ITS THE TRUCK AND NOT THE ROADS.

TAKATA RECALL AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER WENT OUT AND THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER THE DEALERSHIP EVEN EXPLAIN THAT THOUSANDS OF THESE MODEL TRUCKS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE

STARTED MY TRUCK ON 7/30/17 AND HAD NO COLD AIR BLOWING FROM THE VENTS. DROVE IT FOR THE DAY AND STILL NOTHING. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER ON 8/2/17 AND RECEIVED THE DIAGNOSIS OF A CRACKED AC CONDENSER. THE FIX IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR 6-8 WEEKS BECAUSE THERE IS A NATIONAL BACKORDER ON A REPLACEMENT CONDENSER FROM GMC. THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE AND NOT A WARE AND TEAR ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIPS WANT THE OWNERS TO PAY FOR IT EVEN THOUGH THEIR DESIGN IS AT FAULT TO BEGIN WITH.

THE AIR CONDITIONING STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. IT WENT OUT IN JUNE ANDI HEAR NOW WONT BE FIXED UNTIL OCTOBER. IT IS UNSAFE TO HAVE YOUNG KIDS OR MY PARENTS IN THE CAR.

ROUNDING A CORNER AT LOW SPEED AND THE A/C COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP AND STALLED THE ENGINE. I LOST STEERING AND BRAKES NEARLY HIT A POLE. SEARCH FOR THIS ISSUE AND YOU WILL SEE THAT GM HAS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THE 2014 A/C UNITS THAT THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE PRE-OWNED CERTIFIED IN LATE MAY 2017. AC WENT OUT 1 WEEK LATER. VEHICLE HAS BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12K MILES. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FOLSOM BUICK GMC AND FOUND "A/C CONDENSER LEAKING...RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT PARTS ON ORDER" PART NUMBER 84211191. I WAS ADVISED PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. GOING ON 45 DAYS WITH NO AC, AS THE PART IS STILL ON BACK ORDER. IN SACRAMENTO, CA WHERE DAILY IT IS 90 DEGREES WITH MANY DAYS OVER 100 DEGREES AND SOME DAYS OVER 105 DEGREES. AS THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF HEAT ON THE BODY WHILE DRIVING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. I ALWAYS HAVE TO MAKE SURE I HAVE ENOUGH COLD WATER IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FEAR OF PASSING OUT FROM DEHYDRATION.

IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS AND NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN ISSUED AND MEANWHILE MY VECHILE IS STUCK AT DEALERS WHILE I AM STUCK WITH PAYMNTS AND ZERO SOLUTION TO FIX MY VECHILE AND NO IDEA HOW MUCH LONGER IT WILL BE BEFORE IT IS REPAIRED
