2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 WITH 55,000 MILES.ON MAY 15 2017 THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING AN AC CONDENSER AT GREINER BUICK GMC BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. WE WERE TOLD THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED AND THEY WOULD CALL US WHEN IT ARRIVED TO BE INSTALLED. THAT FOLLOWING DAY WE RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP STATING THAT THE AC CONDENSER IS UNAVAILABLE AND THEY DID NOT HAVE AN ETA BECAUSE THE PART WAS BACKORDERED. ABOUT A WEEK HAD PAST, AND BEING FRUSTRATED WITH HAVING NO AC , LIVING IN 110 DEGREE WEATHER AND DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH A 2 MONTH OLD AND 4 YEAR OLD CHILD, I WAS DESPERATE TO HAVE IT FIXED. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS DIRECTLY TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS WITH THE PART AND SEE IF THEY COULD HELP ME. AFTER SPEAKING TO THE REPRESENTATIVE, I GOT NO ANSWERS BESIDES THEY ARE "WORKING ON IT." SHE TOLD ME THIS WAS A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THE PART AVAILABLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I TOLD HER MY SITUATION AND THE SAFETY ISSUE WITH NO AC AND THE CLIMATE I LIVE IN AND SHE TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING OR EXPEDITE GETTING THE PART. MY HUSBAND AND I LOOKED INTO GETTING AN AFTERMARKET CONDENSER AND THOSE TOO ARE UNAVAILABLE. WE DID RESEARCH AND THERE ARE TONS OR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE AC CONDENSER BREAKING IN THE GMC SIERRAS AND CHEVY SILVERADO MODELS AND GM HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT RECALLING IT. THIS PART RARELY FAILS IN A VEHICLE, UNLESS IT IS DAMAGED. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE, AND IS UNAVAILABLE EVEN TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS. STILL, 2 MONTHS LATER OUR VEHICLE STILL HAS NO AC AND GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO HELP US.

AIR CONDITIONER FAILS BECAUSE OF FAULTY CONDENSER, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM SINCE A REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE BECAUSE OF THE DEMAND. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE SENDING VEHICLES TO 3RD PARTIES TO HAVE THE CONDENSER REPAIRED. THIS REPAIR IS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER RECALL RELATED TO THE EPS ASSIST. THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (BUICK GMC IN BEAVERTON, OR) AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY TRUCK LOSES POWER STEERING WHEN TURNING LEFT AND PRACTICALLY COMES TO A STOP MID TURN. IT TAKES APPROX. 5 SECONDS TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE TURN. STABILITRAK NOTIFICATIONS CONSTANTLY ALERT ON THE DASH FOR TRACTION CONTROL, STEERING ASSIST, ETC AND WHEN DOING SLOW MANEUVERING THE A/C, STEREO, AND STEERING ASSIST SHUTDOWN FOR A SPLIT SECOND. RECALL IS OPEN UNDER N172085440 FOR 2 WEEKS NOW AND I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THESE SAME SAFETY STEERING ISSUES WAITING FOR THE FIX TO BE PUBLISHED FOR THIS RECALL. PLEASE EXPEDITE THE RECALL FIX ASAP!!

AIR CONDITIONER NOT WORKING. AC CONDENSER HAS DEVELOPED A LEAK. IN DOING RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR GM VEHICLES OF THE MODEL AND THE LIKE, BUT GM HAS ALSO PULLED ALL CONDENSERS FROM THE SHELVES BUT WILL NOT DO A RECALL TO ADDRESS THE DEFECTIVE CONDENSER.

WHEN I AM MAKING LEFT TURNS MY STABILITRAK WARNING GOES OFF AND LOCKS UP MY STEERING WHEEL AND WON'T ALLOW ME TO TURN AND JERKS THE WHEEL WHICH HAS CAUSED A DISLOCATED THUMB AND JAMMED FINGERS, IT ALSO POWERS DOWN MY ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WITH SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN T-BONED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO IT POWERING DOWN AND NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN. I HAVE CALLED THE GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THIS AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE RECALL. IT'S GOING TO BE A HEFTY LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS WHEN SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIES BECAUSE THEIR STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. EARLY JUNE IS WHEN I STARTED NOTICING THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN GETTING WORSE!

AIRBAG NEEDS SERVICE WARNING INDICATOR KEEPS POPPING UP. EVERY 30 SECONDS OR SO. I HAVE TO KEEP HITTING 'DISMISS'.

AC CONDENSER HAS FAILED AND GMC IS UNABLE/UNWILLING TO SUPPLY PARTS FOR REPAIRS. MY VEHICLE'S PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED TWO MONTHS AGO, THE DEALER NOTIFIED ME THAT THE PART IS BACKORDERED AND THERE IS NOT ETA ON THE PART. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WITHOUT AC, THE DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK, AND THERE IS NO/LIMITED VISIBILITY.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS (50+ MPH - TYPICALLY ON THE HIGHWAY) THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES: THE CONSOLE, STEERING WHEEL, ETC. YOU CAN FEEL IT IN THE SEATS AND THE FLOOR BOARDS. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE TRUCK IS GOING TO GO OUT OF CONTROL OR BREAK DOWN AT ANY MOMENT. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, WE HAVE HAD OUR ENTIRE TRUCK SUSPENSION, ALIGNMENT, BRAKES/ROTORS, ETC INSPECTED NUMEROUS TIMES AND WERE TOLD MORE THAN ONCE BY GM TECHNICIANS THAT THIS VEHICLE PERFORMS UNDER ACCEPTABLE CONDITIONS ACCORDING TO GENERAL MOTORS, EVEN THOUGH THEY AGREE THAT IT DOES NOT FEEL ACCEPTABLE. MY LAST INSPECTION WAS TODAY AND I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING.

AIR CONDITIONER STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR IN NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2016 AT OR AROUND 50K MILES. IN JUNE 2017, PAID A GMC DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. RESULTS SHOW A CONDENSER LEAK.. CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER CARE DEPT. (SPOKE TO BETH). BETH CONFIRMED THE DIAGNOSIS, INFORMED ME OF THE BACKORDER, THEN INFORMED ME THAT GM WOULD NOT PROVIDE COST ASSISTANCE FOR THE REPAIRS.
