TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE STABILITRACK WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

GMC SIERRA MY2014 HEADLIGHT DON'T ILLUMINATE PROPERLY DOWN THE ROAD, THE HEADLIGHT DON'T GIVE GOOD ADVISABLY DURING DRY,FOG, OR WET CONDITIONS. IT IS KIND OF SAD SPENDING OVER 45K ON A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T ILLUMINATE PROPERLY. I HAVE OWN OTHER GM VEHICLES HAVE BETTER ILLUMINATION. THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO GET A FIX FOR THIS TRUCKS

MY 2014 GMC SIERRA HAS VERY DIM HEAD LIGHTS, VERY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE YOUR OWN LANE AT TIMES IN THE DARK. ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHEN IT'S RAINING AT NIGHT. MANY TIMES I'VE HAD TO DOUBLE CHECK TO MAKE SURE MY HEADLIGHTS WERE ON BECAUSE THERE SO DIM IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THERE ON AT ALL. IT MAKES FOR VERY NERVE RACKING DRIVING AT NIGHT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE HEADLIGHTS, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR GMC DRIVERS AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD.. TEST DRIVE ONE IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT OUT IN THE COUNTRY.. NOT IN TOWN , WITH STREET LIGHTS!!! *TR

THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO STABILITRAK, THE ONBOARD COMPUTING SYSTEM. WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE, LOSS OF POWER CAN OCCUR. USUALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE POWER JUST 'FLICKERS' ON AND OFF, SOME TIMES REPEATEDLY. THE BREAKING MECHANISM SEEMS TO BE SOMEWHAT AFFECTED BY THIS. AT SLOWER SPEEDS, THE SAME PROBLEM CAN OCCUR, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND FORCES MY TRUCK TO TURN HARD TO THE LEFT. EACH TIME THE PROBLEM OCCURS, "STABILITRAK ERROR" AND "LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL" OR SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF "LOSS OF POWER, DANGER" WILL APPEAR -- ALTHOUGH, IT IS USUALLY JUST SOMETHING RELATING TO "STABILITRAK". I'VE NEARLY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ~3 TIMES. IT'S NO QUESTION A DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND TO PEDESTRIANS. GM HAS BEEN GETTING SUED LIKE CRAZY, AND IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THEY ARE AVOIDING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OF THIS.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. YOU CAN NOT SEE SIDES OR IN FRONT OF YOU . I HIT A DEER STANDING N THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, DID NOT SEE IT TILL IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. MY WIFE HAS A 2006 TAHOE AND HER HEADLIGHTS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN THE ONE IN A 2014. GMC NEEDS TO FIX IT BEFORE PEOPLE START DYING

MY VEHICLE HAS SIDE BOARD STEPS. THE TREAD PATTERN IS SUCH THAT WHEN WET OR ICY THE STEP IS A VIRTUAL SKID PAD. WHEN YOU PLACE WEIGHT ON THE FOOT ON THE TREAD IT IMMEDIATELY SLIPS OUT FROM UNDER YOUR POSITION. LAST YEAR I BROKE A FOOT WHEN I SLIPPED AND THIS YEAR IT WAS AN ANKLE. TREAD DESIGN NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED AND TURNED 90. AS DESIGNED THERE IS NO TRACTION PROTECTION. JUST THE OPPOSITE, IT PROMOTES LACK OF TRACTION RESULTING IN SLIPPING AND FALLING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, AN ABNORMALLY LOUD BANGING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. UPDATED 03/07/17*LJ *CN

THE HEADLIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS ARE NOT ADEQUATE ENOUGH AT NIGHTTIME TO SEE . LIMITED SITE DISTANCE AND BRIGHTNESS. I DONT LIKE DRIVING AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THIS CREATING A SAFETY PROBLEM. LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF INSTALLING LED LIGHTS BUT DONT THINK I SHOULD BARE THE COST SINCE GMC HAS A PROBLEM THEY NEED TO CORRECT BEFORE I AM HURT DRIVING WITH THESE UNSUITABLE LIGHTS THEY HAVE INSTALLED ON THEIR VEHICLES.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 HEADLIGHTS ARE UNSAFE AT NIGHT ON DIM OR HIGH BEAM. CANNOT SEE CLOSE TO THE SIDES OR DISTANCE. WOULD BE EASY TO HIT A PEDESTRIAN. ASKED THE DEALER IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR IF THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID NO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON LINE AND DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANYTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT. WHY ISN'T ANYTHING BEING DONE BEFORE PEOPLE GETTING KILLED OR INJURED..
