2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM SENSOR AND BRAKE BOOSTER LARGE VACUUM LEAK, EXTRA PRESSURE IS NEEDED TO APPLY BRAKES. BRAKES ARE ESSENTIALLY NON EXISTENT IN VEHICLE. PROBLEM DIAGNOSED BY DEALER. DEALER STATES THIS IS NOT A NORMAL PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING AND THIS UNEXPECTEDLY HAPPENS. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. I UNDERSTAND THIS WAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE 2014 MALIBU. REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE ON ORDER UNKNOWN WHEN EXPECTED DUE TO THIS NOT BEING A PART REGULARLY REPLACED (PER DEALER).

TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME I DROVE MY 2014 SIERRA TEXAS EDITION IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT.... WOW>>>>> I HAD TO STOP AND WAIT FOR THE RAIN DOWNPOUR TO LET OUT SO I COULD SEE WHERE I WAS GOING. NOT GOOD. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS VERY STRESSFUL AND EYE STRAINING TO THE POINT OF TAKING HEADACHE MEDICATIONS ONCE YOU ARE DONE DRIVING. ANY WAY TO FIX THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM? THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVERS AND ANY OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED ASAP. AND GM STILL SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. SO WHY ARE THEY CHANGING THE DESIGN ON THE 2016'S TRUCKS AFTER CONTACTING [XXX] TO SEE IF HE COULD PROVIDE SOME HELP THIS IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY HI [XXX]: THANKS FOR WATCHING! THE BEST WAY TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM IS TO INSTALL A SET OF LED AUXILIARY DRIVING LIGHTS. THEY CAN BE PURCHASED FOR ABOUT $300.00 PLUS LABOR AND MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. AT LEAST THAT?S THE WAY WE HAVE ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM ON THOSE TRUCKS IN MY SHOP.

THE PROJECTOR BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2 YEAR OLD GMC SIERRA ARE, AND HAVE BEEN, NOTICEABLY DIM TO THE POINT OF BEING A SAFETY CONCERN. IT'S AS IF TRYING TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WHILE WEARING DARK SUNGLASSES. IN ADDITION TO BEING DIM, THERE'S ALSO THE PROBLEM OF SIDE ILLUMINATION. I CAN SEE SOME OF THE ROAD AHEAD, BUT CAN'T SEE THE DITCHES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CONSIDER THIS LACK OF SIDE ILLUMINATION TO ALSO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN NEGOTIATING TURNS OR CURVES. USING HIGH BEAMS OFFERS LITTLE, IF ANY IMPROVEMENT. THE HIGH BEAMS ONLY SEEM TO SHINE HIGHER (TREE TOP HEIGHT), BUT OFFER NO REAL INCREASE IN EITHER SIDE ILLUMINATION OR ACTUAL BRIGHTNESS. THE "EYE LIDS" LIFT, BUT POOR ILLUMINATION REMAINS UNCHANGED. ABOUT THE ONLY OPTION IS FOR ME TO DRIVE WITH THE FOG LIGHTS ON. USING FOG LIGHTS AT LEAST GIVES A BIT MORE SIDE ILLUMINATION, BUT STILL DOES NOTHING TO ASSIST WITH "DOWN THE ROAD" ILLUMINATION. I'VE BEEN SURPRISED AT SUCH POOR LIGHTING BEING INSTALLED ON AN OTHERWISE GREAT TRUCK. THESE PROJECTOR BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE SUPPOSEDLY OFFERED AS PART OF PREMIUM PACKAGES. IF THESE HEADLIGHTS ARE GMC'S BEST, I'M SURE GLAD I DIDN'T GET THE CHEAPER LIGHTS! MY ONLY HOPE IS THAT GMC WILL OFFER SOME TYPE OF HEADLIGHT UPGRADE, POSSIBLY LED LIGHTS.

DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHTS. VERY POOR VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING AFTER SUNDOWN. UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK AT NIGHT. $42,000 AND DEALER HAS NO FIX. ALSO NO RESPONSE FROM GM. HAVE APPOINTMENT TO SEE MY ATTORNEY.

HEAD LIGHTS DONT ALLOW YOU TO SEE THE ROAD.NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH,DONT SHINE CORRECTLY.CANT SEE THE ROAD OR DEER AT NIGHT AND ARE WORSE IN THE RAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED ON AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS AND THEN STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED AS INTENDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE GEAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL INADVERTENTLY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE CONSUMED THE ENGINE OIL PREMATURELY AND EXHIBITED ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH THE WINDOWS OPENING AND CLOSING INDEPENDENTLY AND THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURES HOWEVER; THE DEALER ADVISED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED F THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUS! DEALER PERFORMED UPDATE( NEW BULBS AND INCREASE VOLTAGE TO BCM) BUT IMPROVEMENT WAS MINIMAL. HAVE EVEN TRIED LED CONVERSION, WITH VERY LITLE IMPROVEMENT. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL VEIHCLES WITH PROJECTOR SYSTEM, AND HAD ZERO COMPLAINTS. I HAVE LOOKED A PROJECTOR LENS ON OTHER VEHICLES, AND THEY DO NOT HAVE IMPURITIES (TINY AIR BUBBLES) IN THE LENS. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE SUB-PAR LENSES.THIS CREATES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR NIGHT DRIVING.

I TRADED A 2011 GMC SIERRA ON THIS 2014 GMC SIERRA (SLE / DOUBLE CAB / 4.3L V6), PLUS STILL HAVE A 2012 GMC SIERRA, AND THE LIGHTS ON THESE 2 WHEN COMPARED TO THE 2014 GMC WERE / ARE LIKE NIGHT AND DAY - THE 2014 GMC SIERRA IS POSITIVELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT - LIGHTS ARE DISGUSTING - HIGH BEAM ON 2014 GMC IS WORSE THAN LOW BEAM ON MY EARLIER GMC SIERRA'S. TOOK COPY OF "CARCOMPLAINT.COM" REPORT ON HEADLIGHT PROBLEM TO DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY SAID GM HAS NOT PROVIDED THEM WITH ANY INFO' OF "SUPPOSED" PROBLEM, NOR CAN THEY OFFER A SOLUTION. HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES - NO ACTION, AN NO CONCERN EITHER, IN MY OPINION.
