2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Z-71 PROJECTION HEADLIGHTS ARE WITH OUT A DOUBT A SAFETY HAZARD. NOT ONLY ARE THEY DIM BUT THEY DO NOT "PROJECT" FAR ENOUGH DOWN THE ROAD IN EITHER THE LOW OR HIGH BEAM MODES. UNSAFE BECAUSE ONE OVER DRIVES THE BEAM PROJECTED. UNSAFE BECAUSE ONE CANNOT SEE OFF TO THE SIDES WHERE DEER AND OTHER ANIMALS APPROACH SOMETIMES AT HIGH SPEEDS. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT GENERAL MOTORS WILL HAVE TO CHANGE OUT THESE HEADLIGHTS EITHER SOONER OR LATER UNDER A RECALL. *TR

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DOOR CHIME AND DOME LIGHTS NOT SHUTTING OFF WITH KEY IN IGNITION ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. I ALSO HAVE THE SAME WITH THEM NOT COMING ON WHEN OPENING DOOR ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. IT STARTED APPROX. A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING AND STILL HAPPENING NOW . IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AT THE DEALERSHIP YET AND GM SAYS THEY WILL NOT CHECK INTO IT UNLESS A GM REP. IS A WITNESS TO IT HAPPENING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING FROM ALABAMA TO PENNSYLVANIA IN MY NEW GMC I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 15 MPH UNDER THE POSTED LIMIT DUE TO POOR ILLUMINATION OF THE ROAD. THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHINE NO WHERE ON THE ROAD. I ONCE ALMOST MISSED A TURN ON A ROAD I DRIVE DAILY, ON ANOTHER OCCASION I BARELY AVOIDED HITTING TWO DEER ASIDE THE ROAD BECAUSE THE LIGHTS BROADCAST CENTER OF ROAD AND DO NOT SHINE AT ALL LEFT OR RIGHT. TWO TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP HAVE PROVED USELESS, FIRST TRIP THEY WERE WILLING TO ADJUST LIGHTS, SECOND TRIP I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO FURTHER ADJUSTMENT POSSIBLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE THAT COST $45,000. *TR

IF YOU RAISE THE REAR SEAT HEAD RESTRAINTS, THEY EASILY GO BACK DOWN. THERE IS NO LOCKING IN A HIGHER POSITION. ALSO THEY DO NOT GO UP HIGH ENOUGH TO SUPPORT AN ADULT OR SOMEONE ABOUT 5FT 6IN OR HIGHER. THERE IS ALSO NO HEAD RESTRAINT IN THE MIDDLE BACK SEAT. I AM VERY CONCERNED THESE ISSUES COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO REAR SEAT OCCUPANTS IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ON VEHICLE FAILED TO ILLUMINATE PROPERLY. THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM AND IMPAIRED THE CONTACTS VISION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 720.

FROM DAY ONE THE HEADLIGHTS ON OUR 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 VEHICLE ARE USELESS. THE DO NOT LIGHT UP AT ALL AND IS A VERY BAD SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL. WE CAN DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD ON HIGH BEAM AND NO ONE WILL FLASH US AT ALL. WE HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND GMC AND SEEM TO GET NO WHERE. THEY SAID THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR BAD VISABILITY WITH THE NEW SHUTTER HEADLIGHTS BUT GMC SAYS THEY LOOK PRETTY. WELL PRETTY DOES NOT HELP BEING ABLE TO SEE. I HAVE READ PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT HOW ANYONE THAT PURCHASED A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING AND AGAIN THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THE 2014 GMC SIERRS 3500 HAS THE REGULAR HEADLIGHTS, WHY CANT THE 1500 HAVE THESE?? WE PAID $43,000 FOR THIS PICKUP AND CANT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT FOR THE FEAR OF HITTING ANIMALS, PEOPLE WALKING ETC. GMC SAYS OH WELL YOU BOUGHT IT YOUR FAULT, BUT WHO TAKES A TRIAL RIDE AT NIGHT?? IF WE COULD WE WOULD TRADE VEHICLE IN FOR A CHEVY, THEIR 2014 HAS REGULAR HEADLIGHTS. AGAIN I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT IS HAVING HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS PLEASE SEARCH FOR COMPLAINTS ON THIS MATTER AND YOU WELL SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING AND GMC IS NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUS AT ALL!! IF WE CRASH AT NIGHT DUE TO OUR LIGHTS, WHICH WHERE WE LIVE IN NORTHERN MAINE, WE WILL DEFINITELY BE PUTTING SOME LAWYERS IN ON THIS MATTER AND GOING AFTER SOMEONE FOR NOT ADDRESSING THIS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THE HEADLIGHT OUTPUT ON MY NEW 2014 GMC SIERRA IS SO POOR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE SAFELY AT NIGHT. IN FACT, I DO NOT DRIVE IT AT ALL UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. NOT ONLY ARE THE LIGHTS VERY DIM BUT THE SHAPE OF THE BEAM IS ALSO VERY POOR. WITH THE CURRENT OEM HEADLIGHT EQUIPMENT, THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE AT NIGHT. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2014 GMC SIERRA DO NOT SUPPLY ENOUGH LIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW LITTLE LIGHT THEY PUT OUT. IT IS ALMOST DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE FACT THAT VISIBILITY IS SO LIMITED. *TR

HIGHWAY DRIVING AT NIGHT WHERE DEAR/VEHICLE COLLISIONS HAPPEN ON A DAILY (OR NIGHTLY) BASIS WITH THE POOR LIGHT OUTPUT OF THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE 2014 SIERRA IS, SIMPLY PUT, TO BE AVOIDED IN MY OPINION AS WELL AS ALL THOSE WHO HAVE RIDDEN WITH ME AT NIGHT. ONE ACTUALLY BELIEVED I WAS JOKING AND ASKED ME TO TURN THE REAL HEADLIGHTS ON, IF THAT SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT TODAY. I HAVE AVOIDED NIGHT DRIVING WITH THIS TRUCK IN FAVOR OF A SEDAN EQUIPPED WITH OEM "HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE" HEADLIGHTS EVEN THOUGH DEER REPRESENT MORE OF A SIGNIFICANT DANGER DUE TO THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SEDAN (NISSAN) AND THE PICKUP (14 SIERRA). I DO THIS BECAUSE WITH THE NISSAN'S HID HEADLIGHTS I AM CAPABLE OF SEEING THE DEER (OR PEDESTRIANS, DEBRIS, ETC) FROM AN ADEQUATE ENOUGH DISTANCE THAT ALLOWS ME TO SLOW WAY DOWN OR OTHERWISE ACT ACCORDINGLY. THAT IS NOT AN OPTION WITH THE 2014 GMC SIERRA AND IT'S PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS. WHILE THE SIERRA MAY PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHT OUTPUT TO SUFFICE IN WELL LIT TOWNS AND ON WELL LIT ROADWAYS, IT DOES NOT DO SO ON SECLUDED ROADS WHERE DEER ARE MOST PREVALENT AND IN TURN THE MOST DIFFICULT TO SEE. TURNING THE "BRIGHTS" ON MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO THE ACTUAL AREAS THAT REPRESENT THE POSSIBLE DANGER ONE MIGHT ENCOUNTER SUCH AS PEDESTRIANS, DEBRIS ON THE ROAD, DEER AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, POORLY LIT VEHICLES, ETC. IT DOES HOWEVER ILLUMINATE THE TREES WHICH MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO SOME BUT NOT TOO ME. I UNDERSTAND GM ATTEMPTING TO SAVE WHERE POSSIBLE, BUT GIVE US THAT NEED BETTER PERFORMING HEADLIGHTS HAVE THE FACTORY OPTION TO UPGRADE THEM TO HID'S, I WOULD HAVE PAID FOR IT, AS WE DID WITH THE NISSAN, AND AS MY BROTHER DID WITH HIS FORD F150, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE OUTSTANDING HEADLIGHT OUTPUT THANKS TO THE HID'S. *TR

I HAVE A 2014 GMC SIERRA, I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO GET IT SERVICED, 2 WEEKS AGO. AT THE TIME, WHEN I WAS REVERSING YOU COULD HEAR A CLICKING NOISE, WHEN I WOULD BACK UP, OR BRAKE, ALSO GOING OVER ANY BUMP IN THE ROAD, AT VERY LOW SPEEDS, ( EXM. 5 MPH TO 15 MPH), WELL, THE DEALER CAME BACK AND TOLD ME, MY BREAK BOOSTER HAD TO BE REPLACED, AND THEY LUBED AND CLEANED MY U-JOINTS AND LEAD SPRINGS ON THE REAR END. WELL HERE IT IS 2 WEEKS LATER AND THE PROBLEM CAME BACK, AND I CALLED THE DEALER, AND THE RESPONSE I GOT, " JUST BRING IT BACK IN, AND THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IT RE-LUBE AND RE-CLEAN IT, BUT THAT'S ALL WE CAN DO FOR YOU". MY HUSBAND OWNS A 2013 SIERRA, AND HE HAS HAD NO, ISSUES WITH HIS TRUCK WHAT SO EVER. THIS IS MY 3RD VEHICLE FROM GMC, I HAVE BEEN SATISFIED UP UNTIL NOW, THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO. THE TRUCK DRIVES FINE, BUT, WITH THIS BEING A NEW TRUCK, THIS NOISE SHOULD NOT BE THERE, I AM CONSIDERING TRADING IT IN AND GOING ELSEWHERE FOR THE MONEY I AM PAYING ON IT. *TR
