2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

WORST HEADLIGHT FOR A NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED VARIOUS GM TRUCKS FROM 1967 TO 2014. NEVER HAVE I OWNED A TRUCK WITH SUCH WORTHLESS HEADLIGHTS LIKE THE PROJECTOR BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 WITH THE ALL TERRAIN PACKAGE. THE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHT ARE VERY DIM AND DO NOT LIGHT THE ROAD MORE THAN 30 FEET AHEAD. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-70) THE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS ARE ONLY LIGHTING A HALF SECOND AHEAD OF YOU. ADDITIONALLY THERE IS NO LIGHTING TO ILLUMINATE THE SHOLDER AT ALL.. YOU MUST DRIVE FULL TIME WITH THE FOG LAMPS ON TO HAVE A SMALL INCREASE IN LIGHTING. WHEN USING THE HIGH BEAMS THERE IS VERY LITTLE EFFECT ON VISIBILITY. EXTREMELY DISAPOINTED IN THE 2014 GMC SIERRA. AND WILL UNLIKELY PURCHASE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT IN THE FUTURE. AT A MSRP OF OVER 50 GRAND I WOULD EXPECT A TRUCK TO HAVE ADEQUATE HEADLIGHT TO LIGHT THE ROAD. WITHOUT THE AFTERMARKET COST TO INSTALL BETTER LIGHTING THE 2014 GMC SIERRA IS VERY UNSAFE TO OPERATE AT NIGHT. *TR

INITIAL VEHICLE START WAS FINE. AFTER DROPPING MY SON AT HIS SUMMER PROGRAM, I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS AND GAUGES POWERED ON, BUT WHEN I TURNED THE KEY, NOTHING HAPPENED. I TURNED THE POWER BACK TO THE OFF POSITION AND ATTEMPTED TO START AGAIN. I REPEATED THIS PROCEDURE EIGHT SEPARATE TIMES BEFORE THE TRUCK FINALLY STARTED. I AM FORESEEING A 2ND TRIP TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT SOON, BUT 1ST FOR THIS ISSUE. MY 1ST TRIP WAS DUE TO THE INTELLILINK INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM GOING BLACK. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE RADIO MODULE TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE REPROGRAMMING DID NOT WORK AND I HAD TO WAIT ANOTHER BUSINESS DAY FOR A NEW RADIO MODULE TO BE ORDERED AND INSTALLED. I AM BEGINNING TO DOUBT MY PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED IT LESS THAN 1 MONTH AND I AM ANTICIPATING ANOTHER SERVICE DEPARTMENT VISIT SOON. *TR

TRUCK IS BRAND NEW AND HAS A BAD SHAKE IN THE REAR END AT 70-85 MPH THAT THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIX. I BELIEVE THIS SHAKE COULD LEAD TO PREMATURE WEAR OF PARTS OR A FAILURE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THAT COULD CAUSE A CRASH. *TR

HEADLIGHTS ARE INADEQUATE ON LOW BEAM WITHOUT THE USE OF THE LOWER DRIVING/FOG LAMPS. LOWER LAMPS NEEDED TO LIGHT SIDES OF ROAD. WHEN SWITCHING TO HIGH BEAMS, LAMPS ARE TOTALLY USELESS. BEAM IS FOCUSED WAY TOO HIGH AND NARROWS. WITHOUT LOWER FOG LAMPS ON WITH HIGH BEAMS, THERE IS NO ILLUMINATION OF THE ROAD SIDES OR LOWER PAVEMENT FROM 5-30/50 FEET OUT IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. THIS IS SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN DRIVING ON RURAL HIGHWAYS OR COUNTY ROADS AT NIGHT OR ON OPEN INTERSTATES. UNABLE TO SEE ANY WILDLIFE OR PEDESTRIANS ON SIDE OR IN FRONT OF VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. *TR

WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO ON-RAMP, VEHICLE'S BRAKE LIGHTS ON DASH ALL CAME ON, RADIO STATION CHANGED CHANNELS AND ENGINE HESITATED. WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH WENT OUT, RADIO STAYED ON SWITCHED CHANNEL, ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL, BUT SERVICE STABILITY TRACK INFORMATION CAME UP ON PANEL. SERVICE WARNING WENT OFF IN ABOUT 300 YARDS, VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE SENSOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO CLEARED THE CODE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BUT DID NOT INSPECT, DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS RUST ON THE FRONT AND REAR WHEEL WELLS AND ON THE FRONT AND REAR FRAMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT REAR WHEEL WELLS, REAR WHEEL WELLS AND THE FRONT AND REAR FRAMES NEEDED TO BE RECOATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR INSPECTION AND TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

LIVE IN WEST VIRGINIA. WAS TRAVELING HOME FROM 2ND SHIFT ALONG GOOD COUNTRY ROAD WHEN I HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS A DEER. REASON WAS BE THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY WEEK OLD GMC SIERRA ARE AWFUL. THEY DO NOT LIGHT UP THE ROAD CORRECTLY (SIDE TO SIDE) OR DISTANCE WISE. THE LOW BEAMS SHINE OUT ABOUT 30 FEET AND WHEN I USE THE HIGH BEAMS THE LIGHT IS NOT AIMED PROPERLY. IT SHINES EVERYWHERE BUT ON THE ROAD. DEALER SAID THEY'VE HAD LOT OF COMPLAINTS BUT NO INFO FROM GM ON A FIX. MY LAST GM TRUCK HAD GREAT LIGHTS. SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A RAM! THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS NOT TO BE COVERED UP LIKE THE IGNITION SWITCH THING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE, IT ROLLED AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WORST HEADLIGHT ON A NEW VEHICLE. I OWN 4 AUTOS AND AM SCARED TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON LOCAL PENNSYLVANIA ROADS. THE HIGH BEAM HAS NO INCREASE IN VISUAL EFFECT. VERY DISAPPOINTED I MAY HAVE TO ADD EXTRA LIGHT OR MODIFY FACTORY TESTED LIGHTING TO MAKE THIS ADEQUATE FOR SAFE DRIVING. *TR

HEADLIGHTS ARE TERRIBLE. VERY DIM. BRIGHTS ARE NO BETTER. INSTALLED AFTERMARKET LIGHTING (JUST UNDER $400) JUST TO BE SAFE AT NIGHT. . MADE COMPLAINT WITH GM. THEY DID NOT ADMIT TO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM AND OFFERED NOTHING TO MAKE SITUATION RIGHT. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER GMC WITH PROJECTION HEADLIGHTS. *TR
