2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

There is a torque converter recall on the 2014 GMC sierra 1500 however my vehicle was not included in the recall but my transmission / torque converter went out.

This vehicle has the same issue as other recalled GMC Sierra vehicles - the brake booster pump is failing, causing braking difficulty, particularly at low RPM and after repeated presses of the brake pedal.

I was backing my boat down the ramp and the brakes were giving out. I know this was a recall issue, in the past, that I had repaired. Clearly, they repaired it with the same faulty part because it has happened again. When I took it to be repaired they said I had to pay for it this time. The issue wasn't resolved but only deferred until later, with a temporary fix. I could have ended up in the river and drowned. Paying the dealership to fix a safety issue caused by their defective parts is ridiculous.

Rusted out frame. 130k miles and well cared for. I don't think a 10 year old vehicle should have a rust hole in the frame.

I bought this truck used, in 2022 for $24,000... had it put up on a lift and fully gone over before purchasing. Roughly 18 months later I was notified by the garage that there were some rust holes in the frame that needed to be fixed. I had those holes repaired in March 2024, and the vehicle was inspected. At this time I went over the entire frame and found no more trouble spots. I recently went to trade-in the vehicle to buy something smaller and the dealership told me the frame was "rotted" and that the truck was essentially worthless and actually dangerous to drive. These frames are rotting from the inside out, and go from a sellable and valuable truck, to worthless within months or years. GM used inferior steel, inferior rust prevention, and is leaving countless owners stranded with vehicles they cannot sell, are unsafe to drive, and are still paying on. I still owe $10,000 on the truck and the best offer I've gotten has been $3,000. My options are to either put thousands of dollars into the vehicle and pray the rest of the frame does not suffer the same fate (unlikely), or junk the truck and buy another vehicle, meaning I'd need to pay two car loans off and only have one usable vehicle. GM knew about this issue and did not fix it and now hard working Americans are being financially devastated because of it. I bought a nice, clean 8 year old truck, and 2.5 years/20k miles later I'm left with junk and a depreciation of roughly $1 per mile for the time I've owned this vehicle. This has been an extremely stressful situation which has left me coming to terms with the fact that I'm most likely losing $10,000 because of this frame issue. This truck brand new sold for over $42,000 and 10 years later is worth about $2,000, if that. It was not beat, or neglected - simply driven and used as intended. This is unacceptable.

While driving, my wife and I heard a bang, and when she went to turn her head, she noticed that the vehicle was smoking from rear defroster, and the back windshield had smashed. we immediately pulled over and the vehicle did not stop smoking until we turned off the rear defroster. This put our safety at risk as the entire vehicle could’ve caught fire. When we went to check to see if it had been recalled, Our vehicle did not have any open recalls But we found that there were many other GMC Sierra trucks with this issue. We contacted our local dealer who confirmed that he had seen this happen to other GMC Sierra trucks. There was no warning light Or other indicator that this was going to happen. Unfortunately, Our vehicle was not included under recall N192265660 and we strongly recommend that another investigation is performed to include all 2014 GMC Sierra trucks. I have a video showing our vehicle smoking with a smashed, sliding Back windshield.

The contact owns a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving 15 MPH and making a right turn, the power steering malfunctioned, and the steering wheel became difficult to turn in either direction. After turning off and restarting the vehicle, the failure was self-corrected. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was not yet contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.

I am experiencing episodic loss of power steering assist without warning. This lasts for several seconds then power steering is restored. "StabiliTrak” message may be displayed during the event. On one occasion my radio also went off when my power steering failed. On one occasion my vehicle died shortly after losing power steering which almost resulted in me having a motor vehicle accident. I reported the problem to the GMC dealership and have scheduled the next available appointment to have it serviced.

The vehicle lost ALL power, completely shut off with no warning while driving. There were no warnings or anything. Was stuck for about 5 minutes and had to let cars go around me (no power and no warning lights, so could not even use hazard lights). I did some reading and it people have said this could be a problem with negative battery cable needs to replaced. The vehicle started about 5 minutes later with no issues and had to reset clock and date.

The high and low beams quit working while driving at night. This caused safety issue for myself and other drivers. Fuses good and bulbs good. Have seen multiple listings online about the same thing happening to other owners.
