2014 GMC Sierra Complaint Log

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO GOOD, THEY HELPED TO SAVE THE LIFE OF SEVERAL DEER WHICH I COULD CLEARLY SEE UP AHEAD, JUST ABOVE THE CREST OF THE ROAD. THE DEER STARTED TO DASH ACROSS THE ROAD, WHICH WAS NOT LIT, AND I COULD CLEARLY SEE THEM AND PROPERLY STEERED CLEAR OF THE DEER. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS TRUCK ARE THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD !! I FIND THE 2014 GMC SIERRA AS THE MOST WELL EQUIPPED VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. MY COMPLAINT IS NOT REALLY ABOUT THE LIGHTS OR HOW WELL I COULD SEE THE DEER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IT'S ABOUT THE NEED FOR OTHER BRANDS OF VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH THESE TYPE OF HEADLIGHTS. I BELIEVE THIS TYPE OF HEADLIGHT SYSTEM SHOULD BE MANDATORY ON ALL VEHICLES OF ALL MAKES. GMC HAS DONE THE WORLD A FAVOR. NOW IT IS UP TO THE REST TO CATCH UP AND USE THIS TECHNOLOGY! *TR

THE HEADLAMPS ARE TOTALLY INADEQUATE FOR NIGHT DRIVING THUS PRODUCING A VERY SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE . THERE IS ZERO LIGHTING ON BOTH SIDES ON LOW BEAM AND VERY POOR DOWN ROAD VISION ON HIGHBEAM. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE AND THEY ARE ALL WITH THE SAME ISSUES. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE CHEAP ONE BULB LENS SYSTEM WITH A SHUTTER ON THE LENS. HAVE COMPLAINED TO DEALER WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS A PROBLEM AND TO GM WHO REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM . GM RESPONSE TO ME WAS THE LAMPS WORK AS DESIGNED AND I RESPONDED THAT IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM, THE DESIGN WHICH PRODUCES VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. *TR

AFTER PURCHASING OUR NEW TRUCK, WE DROVE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER DARK ON OUR RURAL COUNTRY ROADS. WHEN ENGAGING THE DIM LIGHTS YOU CAN NOT SEE MORE THAN 20 TO 30 YARDS IN FRONT OF YOUR VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND HAS DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM SINCE WE DISCOVERED IT AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. WHEN ENGAGING THE BRIGHT LIGHTS THEY APPEAR TO SHINE THE DISTANCE THAT THE DIM LIGHTS SHOULD. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ENGINEERING FLAW IN THE GM LIGHTING SYSTEM ON THEIR GMC TRUCKS. HE HAS DISCOVERED THAT THEY HAVE INSTALLED A PROJECTOR LIGHT WITH A CURTAIN OR SHUTTER IN THIS LIGHTING SYSTEM. WE HAVE HAD THEM ADJUSTED ONCE BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY MADE IT WORSE NOT BETTER. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT UNTIL GM IS MADE TO CHANGE THE LIGHTING SYSTEM AND REMOVE THIS CURTAIN/SHUTTER SYSTEM THAT WE ARE STUCK WITH THIS. OUR ONLY ALTERNATIVE SEEMS TO BE TO DRIVE WITH OUR BRIGHT LIGHTS ON AT ALL TIMES AFTER DARK IN RURAL AREAS. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND AT SOME POINT IN TIME THERE IS GOING TO BE A SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. WE ARE HOPING THAT YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND TAKE ACTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

HEADLIGHTS IN NORMAL OPERATION SITUATION ARE WOEFULLY SHORT OF ILLUMINATION DISTANCE AND EASY TO OVERDRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LIGHTS ARE MORE ADEQUATE, HOWEVER HIGH BEAMS CANNOT BE USED IN TRAFFIC AND FOG LIGHTS TEND TO IRRITATE ONCOMING DRIVERS ON HIGHWAYS IN SMALLER VEHICLES. *TR

HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE TERRIBLE. VERY POOR ILLUMINATION FOR NIGHT DRIVING.THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THESE HEADLIGHTS, PICKUP IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.HEADLIGHTS LIGHT UP ROAD ABOUT 50-60 FEET AND OFFER VERY POOR SIDE VISION.HIGH BEAMS ARE USELESS AND SHINE UP IN THE TREES AND NOT ON THE ROAD.VEHICLE HAS PROJECTORS WITH ONLY A FLAPPER TO CHANGE HIGH/LOW BEAM.IHAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 40 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE WITH THIS POOR HEADLIGHT DESIGN. I CANNOT BELIEVE HEADLIGHT PASSED PHOTOMETRIC DESIGN CERTIFICATION (MAYBE THEY DID NOT) I HAVE COMPLAINED TO GMC BUT THEY SAY HEADLIGHTS ARE WORKING AS DESIGNED. HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED ONCE AND ADJUSTED SEVERAL TIMES BY DEALER.STILL NO REMEDY TO THE PROBLEM. *TR

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 STRESSFULL AND EYE STRAINING TO THE POINT OF TAKING HEADACHE MEDICATIONS ONCE YOU ARE DONE DRIVING. ANY WAYT 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 DESING ON THE 2016'S TRUCKS

HEADLIGHT ARE EXTREMELY INADEQUATE!! VERY POOR VISIBILITY ESPECIALLY ON LOW BEAM! *TR

MY SON AND I WERE DRIVING MY GMC SIERRA 2014 TO HIS FRIENDS HOUSE BEFORE WE CRASHED. MY SON WAS DRIVING AND HAS HIS LEARNER'S PERMIT, HOWEVER, HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR 4 MONTHS. AT A FORK IN THE ROAD I TOLD MY SON QUICKLY TO MAKE A RIGHT RATHER THAN LEFT AND WE CRASHED INTO AN IMPROPERLY GRATED WALL OF DIRT CAUSING THE TRUCK TO GO FROM 40 MPH TO 0 WITH MY SON HAVING HIS SEATBELT ON, BUT I DID NOT. NEITHER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND BOTH OF US SUSTAINED SERIOUS INJURIES. MY SON BROKE HIS NOSE AND I AM SUFFERING FROM A BROKEN NOSE, CONCUSSION AND A BURST VERTEBRAE. NEITHER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHICH COULD'VE MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE ON OUR INJURIES. *TR

THE HEADLIGHT OUTPUT ON MY NEW 2014 GMC SIERRA IS SO BAD THAT I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE SAFELY AT NIGHT. IN FACT, I ONLY DRIVE IT UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. NOT ONLY ARE THE LIGHTS VERY DIM BUT THE SHAPE OF THE BEAM IS ALSO VERY POOR AND AWKWARD . WITH THE CURRENT OEM HEADLIGHT EQUIPMENT, THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE AT NIGHT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT . I CAN'T EVEN FIND A BETTER BULB BECAUSE GM HAS THE PATENT AND NOT EVEN PIAA CAN MAKE A BETTER BULB. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE ARE VERY DIM. THEY HAVE A PROJECTOR LIGHT IN THEM AND ONLY HAVE ONE BULB, THEY PROJECTOR MOVES WHEN SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN BRIGHT AND DIMS. THE PROBLEM IS THERE'S ONE LITTLE YELLOW CIRCLE OUT IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK ABOUT 30 FEET, THE BRIGHTS DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, AND THERE IS NO LIGHTING TO THE SIDES OF THE TRUCK. THERE IS NO LIGHT ON THE CURB AND MAKING A TURN IS NOT ONLY DIFFICULT BUT ALSO UNSAFE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN 3 TIMES TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO HELP. I READ ONLINE THAT THERE IS AN UPDATE THAT SENDS MORE VOLTAGE TO THE HEADLIGHTS BUT THEY ALSO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THAT. THE LAST TIME THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T EVEN ALIGN THE LIGHTS BECAUSE I HAD PUT AFTERMARKET BULBS IN JUST TO BE ABLE TO SEE. THE FOG LIGHTS ARE TWICE AS BRIGHT AS THE HEADLIGHT, I'VE TOLD THEM THAT, CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER, TOLD THEM THAT, AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE. I SEE ONLINE THAT IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. ALSO THE ONES LIKE MINE WITH THE VIBRATING SAFETY SEAT GET LOOSE, ALSO A COMMON COMPLAINT, AND THEY WON'T COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL.

MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE HOW DIM THE OEM HEADLIGHTS ARE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO GMC REGARDING THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE RESPONSE IS THAT THEY ARE OK WITH HOW DIM THE LIGHTS ARE. COMPARED TO OTHER VEHICLES I OWN/HAVE OWNED THE HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS. *TR

THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE INSUFFICIENT FOR SAFETY. THEY DO NOT LIGHT THE ROAD SUFFICIENT TO SEE OBJECTS IN ROAD ABOVE A SPEED OF 50 MPH. THESE ARE SINGLE BULB PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS AND MY OLD 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO HAS MUCH BETTER LIGHTS. GMC SHOULD REPLACE THE LIGHTS WITH DUAL BEAM LIGHTS OR ADD ON A SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHT SYSTEM. *TR

WHILE ON VACATION I BOUGHT A 2014 SIERRA DENALI THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY DRIVEN BY A GM EXECUTIVE AND BOUGHT BY THE DEALERSHIP IN W.VA. AFTER COMING HOME I LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND SAW THAT THE FRAME AND DRIVESHAFT WERE COVERED IN RUST. HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL TRUCK. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM AND ARE UNSAFE. IN MY 50+ YEARS OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED HEADLIGHTS SO BAD. I LIVE IN A DARK RURAL AREA WITHOUT ANY STREETLIGHTS AND LOTS OF BICYCLISTS AND DEER. I HAVE ALREADY HAD MANY NEAR MISSES ON RURAL ROADS, AND FEAR IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS.

THE HEADLIGHT PERFORMANCE ON THIS TRUCK IS THE WORST I'VE SEEN IN ANY VEHICLE, BUT FOR A TRUCK, I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY ARE ALLOWED ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THEY ARE FACTORY SET AND DO NOT NEED ADJUSTMENT. THAT INFORMATION WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT CHECKED DURING THE QUALITY CHECK OR CHECKED BUT FELT IT WAS AS GOOD AS IT GETS. ON HIGH BEAM, THE DRIVER'S SIDE LIGHT IS POINTING SO FAR UP, IT'S IN THE TREES AND ABOVE THE ROAD. THE RIGHT SIDE HIGH AND LOW BEAMS ARE INADEQUATE FOR ALL PURPOSES, ESPECIALLY SEEING AROUND CURVES AND TURNS. YOU ARE LITERALLY BLIND ON A DARK STREET, EVEN WITH THE FOG LIGHTS. VERY POOR ILLUMINATION OF THE ROAD. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER FOR ADJUSTMENT AND THEY DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. THIS WILL BE THE LAST GM PRODUCT I BUY SINCE IT SEEMS THE LAST THREE VEHICLES I'VE OWNED HAD ISSUES THAT COULD NOT BE RESOLVED. AND I AM A MEMBER OF THE GM FAMILY. FOR THE PRICE OF THESE VEHICLES, THEY SHOULD BE TOP QUALITY. GM SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THE QUALITY THEY DELIVER TO CUSTOMERS FOR VEHICLES PRICED OVER $45K. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAMS AND HIGH BEAMS WERE EXTREMELY DIM WHEN THEY WERE ACTIVATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2014 GMC SIERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM AND IMPAIRED THE CONTACTS VISION OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM A DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE IS MODIFIED AND SOLD COMMERCIALLY UNDER THE RMT (ROCKY MOUNTAIN TRUCK WORKS) PACKAGE. THE PACKAGE INCLUDES MODIFIED SUSPENSION AND LIGHTING. WHEN ACCELERATING, THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT INTO A PASSING GEAR CAUSING THE RPM(S) TO EXCEED 6000 AT WHICH POINT THE REV LIMITER SHUTS DOWN POWER TO THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE RPM(S) ARE BACK IN A SAFE OPERATING LIMIT. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS A VEHICLE ON A SECONDARY TWO LANE HIGHWAY. WHEN I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE, I ACCELERATED TO OVERTAKE THE VEHICLE BUT THE RPM LIMITER SHUT DOWN POWER MIDWAY THROUGH THE PASSING. WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND LOSS OF POWER, IT MADE FOR A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE WORKED ON THE VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES TO TRY AND CORRECT WITHOUT SUCCESS. THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THIS HAPPENING WITH ALL THE RMT MODIFIED VEHICLES THAT THEY HAVE TEST DRIVEN. THESE VEHICLES ARE COMMERCIALLY MARKETED AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS NOT AS LUCKY AS I WAS. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS TRUCK PROVIDE INADEQUATE LIGHTING, INCLUDING BOTH LOW BEAMS AND HIGH BEAMS. ANY NIGHT DRIVING IS DIFFICULT DUE TO LIMITED VISIBILITY, THERE SIMPLY IS NOT ENOUGH ILLUMINATION TO SEE. CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS - ESPECIALLY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35 MPH OR DURING PRECIPITATION. THE HEADLIGHT HAS A SEVERE DESIGN FLAW WITH GMS APPROACH AT A SHUTTER SYSTEM. THIS TYPE OF DESIGN DOES NOT LEAVE ANY OPTIONS FOR SIMPLY CHANGING THE TYPE OF BULB - THE DESIGN IS ACTUALLY AT FAULT FOR THE POOR VISIBILITY. THE VISIBILITY PROBLEMS SIMPLY CANNOT BE FIXED WITH A DIFFERENT BULB TYPE DUE TO THE SHUTTER DESIGN TYPE. MANY COMPLAINTS ARE BEING REGISTERED ONLINE RELATED TO THE VISIBILITY PROBLEM. THESE TRUCKS ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. IF THERE IS A STANDARD FOR MINIMUM HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING, THIS MODEL HEADLIGHT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED IF IT IS MEETING THE MINIMUM STANDARD. NOT SAFE, A DEFINITE PROBLEM THAT NEEDS ATTENTION. *TR

BRAKE AND THEN ACCELERATE LOSSES POWER TRANSMISSION SLIPS. WHEN TRYING TO MERGE TO FREEWAY I BRAKE AND THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE IT LOOSES POWER TRANSMISSION SLIPS. *TR

CAN NOT SEE THE ROAD WITH THE LIGHT OUTPUT WITH THESE FACTORY HEADLIGHT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE FOUR DOORS UNLOCKED INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

BOUGHT VEHICLE NEW IN MARCH '14, HEADLIGHTS ARE HID UNITS, AND ARE WORSE THAN POOR. VERY EASY TO OVERDRIVE THESE LIGHTS HERE ON DARK, TWISTY MOUNTAIN ROADS IN WV. WE HAVE THE HIGHEST RATE OF VEHICLE- DEER COLLISIONS IN THE US AND SEEING DEER WITH THESE LIGHTS IN TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION IS CHANCY. TRADED A 10 YEAR OLD SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND NEVER HAD THESE PROBLEMS. THESE LIGHTS NEED TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE FOLKS ARE KILLED AS A RESULT. *TR

THE LIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE UNSAFE IN THAT THEY ONLY PROJECT FOR A SHORT DISTANCE AND DON'T ALLOW ANY LIGHT TO THE SIDES ON CORNERS OR ON UPSLOPES OF HIGHWAY DIPS. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR OVER THREE HOURS AT WHICH TIME IT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CONSUMED BY FIRE. WE HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE 2 WEEKS EARLIER TO A DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL COMPONENT REPLACED BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED AND NOW WE HAVE A VEHICLE WHICH WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD AS A PIECE OF WORTHLESS PILE OF METAL. GM HAS BEEN SLOW TO REACT TO THIS ISSUE AND HAS REQUESTED THAT WE FIRST HAVE OUR INSURANCE COMPANY LOOK AT THE VEHICLE VS. SEEM SEND THEM ONE TO LOOK AT THE THIS. *TR

HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM YOU CAN NOT SEE STREET SIGNS OR THE SIDES OF THE ROAD CLEARLY. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK BACK THE DEALERSHIP 8 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM A VIBRATION THAT YOU CAN FEEL IN THE SEAT STEERING WHEEL AND GAS PEDAL, THEY HAVE HAD THE FACTORY ENGINEERS OUT THREE TIME AND LOOKED AND WORKED ON IT, FIRST TIME THE ENGINEER DID A COUPLE OF THINGS AND SAID THAT IT WAS UP TO FACTORY SPECS AND THAT WAS ALL HE COULD DO, I DROVE IT HOME AND BEFORE I WAS A BLOCK AWAY I COULD TELL THAT THEY DID NOT FIX IT, WHEN I GOT HOME I CALLED THE DEALER BACK AND TOLD HIM SO HE CALLED GM AND THE NEXT WEEK THEY SENT OUT THE SAME GUY AND THIS TIME HE WORKED ON 5 OR 6 OTHER THINGS THAT HE DID NOT WORK ON THE FIRST TIME AFTER TELLING ME THEY DID ALL THEY COULD DO THE FIRST TIME. RIGHT THERE TELLS YOU THEY ARE LYING IF THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO WHY COME BACK AND WORK ON IT AGAIN! BUT AFTER HE GOT DONE IT WAS JUST LIKE IT WAS, I WILL TRY TO LIST SOME OF THE STUFF THAT THEY SAID THEY DID, 1) ROTATED THE TIRES 2) RE-TORQUE THE WHEELS 3) BALANCED THE TIRES 4) BALANCED THE DRIVE SHAFT 5) SHIMMIED THE REAR END 6) CHECKED THE REAR SHOCKS 7) TOOK OFF DEALER INSTALLED MUD FLAPS! 8) CHECKED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, I KNOW BUT THEY DID 9) ROAD FORCED TESTED THE TIRES TWICE AND REPLACED TWO THE SECOND TIME AND RE-BALANCED THE TIRES. AND I'M SURE I HAVE NOT LISTED ALL THEY HAVE TRIED, AND STILL I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, THIRD TIME THE ENGINEER CAME OUT HE HAD THE REGIONAL MANAGER WITH HIM AND THIS TIME THEY DROVE MY TRUCK AND 2 OTHERS THEY HAD ON THE LOT AND SAID THAT THEY ARE SIMILAR TO MINE AND THEY WAS NOT GOING TO DO ANY MORE TO MY TRUCK THAT THEY HAD DONE ALL THEY COULD OR WOULD DO BUT IF I HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS TO BRING IT BACK. *TR

VEHICLE HAS VERY POOR HEADLIGHTS, MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM, AND DO NOT PROVIDE ILLUMINATION ON SHOULDERS OF ROADWAY. PROBABLY THE WORST HEADLIGHTS I HAVE SEEN IN OVER 20 YEARS. DEALER SAYS NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT PROBLEM. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN AND FORCE GM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE HORRIBLE. DRIVING ON ROADS WITH NO STREET LIGHTS IS DANGEROUS. THE HIGH BEAMS DO NOTHING AT ALL EXCEPT LIGHT UP TREE TOPS. *TR

2014 GMC SIERRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ELECTRICAL PANEL FROZE WHILE DRIVING. *SMD ALSO, THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP, THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT WORK PROPERLY AND THE ALARM SOMETIMES SOUNDED AFTER THE WAS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. ALSO, THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM WAS STILL NOT RESOLVED. THERE WAS A HESITATION/LURCH COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION, AND AN ISSUE WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MALFUNCTIONED ON THE WAY BACK FROM THE DEALER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ILLUMINATED SPORADICALLY. UPDATED 07/10/14 THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A STEERING ISSUE, AS WELL. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEMS. UPDATED 08/06/14

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT PROJECT GOING DOWN A HILL AND TURNING ON A CURVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DESIGNED THAT WAY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEAD LAMP HIGH BEAMS WERE TURNED ON, BUT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE ADEQUATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I HAD MY TRUCK'S ECM REPROGRAMMED LAST FRIDAY (1/17) DUE TO RECALL #14V007, AND EARLIER THIS EVENING (1/24) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME IN AND THE DIC SHOWED AN "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" MESSAGE. THE ENGINE RAN VERY SLUGGISH AND I PARKED IT AS GM RECOMMENDED TO DO IN THEIR RECALL LETTER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW. I THOUGHT THAT THE NEW SOFTWARE WAS SUPPOSED TO CORRECT THAT ISSUE? *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT BEHIND 2 OTHER VEHICLES. A VEHICLE FROM BEHIND STRUCK ME AT APPX 40 MPH AND RAMMED ME INTO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAB OF MY TRUCK FILLED WITH A WHITE. "SMOKE". I WAS TOLD BY BOTH FIREMEN AND WRECKER DRIVER AIRBAGS HAD ACTIVATED BUT NOT DEPLOYED. MY WIFE WAS WITH ME. BOTH OUR SEATBELTS LOCKED UP AS THEY SHOULD. CONCERN IS HAD THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED IT MIGHT HAVE HELPED WITH BACK AND SHOULDER INJURY. MAYBE WE WOULD NOT HAVE BOUNCED AROUND AS MUCH. I NOTIFIED GMC AND THEY MADE A CASE FILE BUT AFTER A WEEK STILL HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME. EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS VOICE MESSAGES LEFT. *TR

2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 ROLLS BACKWARDS WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE AND THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK. *TR

VEHICLE HESITATES AND STALLS UPON ACCELERATION. ACCORDING TO GM DOCUMENT ID NUMBER [XXX] THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION AND THEY HAVE PROGRAMMED THE VEHICLE TO DO THIS. IF GOING INTO TRAFFIC AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE BUILT IN DELAY CAN CAUSE CLOSE CALLS AT BEST AND WORST CASE AN ACCIDENT. THIS COUPLED WITH THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES MENTIONED IN DOCUMENT ID NUMBER 3575856 CREATES THE PERFECT STORM FOR INJURY AND / OR DEATH. GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OTHER THAN TO SAY THEY FEEL IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. THIS COVERS VIRTUALLY ALL GM VEHICLES SINCE 2007 WITH THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS THE WORST HEADLIGHTS OF ANY NEW VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, AND I AVOID IT WHERE I CAN. THE BEAM PATTERN IS AWFUL AND THE ILLUMINATION IS POOR. I'VE BEEN DRIVING CARS WITH PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS FOR YEARS, SO I KNOW THAT IS NOT THE REAL ISSUE. THESE LIGHTS ARE JUST POORLY DESIGNED OR CHEAP. TRIPS TO THE DEALER ARE UNFRUITFUL. THE DEALER KNOWS THEY ARE POOR, BUT CAN DO NOTHING EXCEPT BE SURE EVERYTHING IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED. IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT BUYING A 2014 GMC PICKUP, BUY SOMETHING ELSE. THEY ARE THAT BAD. I JUST KNOW I'M GOING TO HIT A DEER SOON ENOUGH. *TR

THE HEADLIGHT OUTPUT AT NIGHT, PARTICULARLY IN RURAL BACK ROAD AREAS IS LESS THAN ADEQUATE. POOR REALLY. I ORIGINALLY HAD MOISTURE ISSUES IN BOTH HEADLAMP HOUSINGS, HAD BOTH HEADLAMP HOUSINGS REPLACED AND THE LIGHTING SEEMED TO BE BETTER, HOWEVER NOT VERY MUCH. THE HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO HAVE DARK SPOTS IN THEM AND ONLY LIGHT UP CERTAIN PARTS OF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME, AND NEVER MUCH TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. I FEEL THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST LIGHTING OUTPUT OF ANY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED, AND ACTUALLY FEEL A LITTLE UNSAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I MOST DEFINITELY CANNOT TRAVEL AT HIGHER SPEEDS DURING THE NIGHT AS I FEEL LIKE I CANNOT SEE NEARLY GOOD ENOUGH. I HAVE SIMPLY "DEALT" WITH THE ISSUE SINCE BUYING THE TRUCK IN DECEMBER 2013, THINKING THERE WAS NO FIX TO IT AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE.

I PURCHASED NEW IN 2014 A GMC SIERRA 4X4 I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES I PARK INSIDE A HEATED GARAGE AN WASH ONCE SOMETIMES TWICE A WEEK, INCLUDING UNDERCARRIAGE. IN JANUARY WHILE WASHING UNDERCARRIAGE I NOTICED THE COATING ON THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY COMING OFF THE FRAME WITH JUST THE SPRAY OF GARDEN HOSE. I NOTIFIED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT UPSTATE CHEVROLET IN ATTICA AT MY LAST SERVICE MARCH 16 2015. THE DEALERSHIP WILL ALSO VERIFY HOW WELL I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLES. I AM NOW WAITING FOR A RESPONSE! IN THE MEAN TIME I WENT ON LINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING SAME PROBLEM AND TO NO SURPRISE ALOT OF GMC TRUCK OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF THIS EXISTING PROBLEM AS WELL. PLEASE CONTACT ME. MY FAMILY AN I HAVE BEEN DEDICATED GM OWNERS AND I AM ASKING IF THIS FALLS UNDER THE LEMON LAW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN. *TR

HEADLIGHTS ARE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS TRUCK. CAN NOT SEE THE SIDES OF THE ROAD AND THE ROADWAY IS VERY DIM. I HAVE CONTACTED GM MANY TIMES WITH NO ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM. ONE TIME THEY SAID, TURN ON THE FOG LIGHTS WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO TURN A CORNER. *TR

PURCHASED MY 2014 GMC SIERRA NOVEMBER OF 2013. CURRENTLY I'M ON MY 9TH RECALL NOTICE. MORE IMPORTANTLY THE LIGHTING ON MY FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE THE MOST UNSAFE LIGHTING AT NIGHT I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. THE HIGH BEAMS ARE USE LESS. PAID $43,000 FOR MY TRUCK. YOU WOULD THINK THEIR LIGHTING WOULD BE TOP NOTCH. THE BAD THING ABOUT THIS IS NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT SO GMC ISN'T EXPRESSING ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THIS MAJOR FLAW. THIS SHOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL WERE PROPER LIGHTING IS PUT IN. NOTHING WILL BE DONE TILL SOMEONE GETS INTO A ACCIDENT OR DIES FROM INJURIES FROM LACK OF LIGHTING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AFTER DARK, THE FRONT HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS BECAME DIM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED WITH LARGE HOLES IN THE GRILL. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, WEEDS WOULD ENTER THE GRILL AND ACCUMULATE NEAR THE RADIATOR. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED IN THAT FASHION. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10. UPDATED 8/22/14*CN

I HAVE A 2014 GMC SIERRA SLT WITH POWER SEATS. THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS LOOSE (NOT THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS RECENTLY RECALLED WITH MANUALLY RECLINING SEATS). WHEN YOU MAKE A SHARP TURN AT SPEED THE DRIVERS SEAT SLIDES LEFT OR RIGHT DEPENDING ON THE DIRECTION YOU ARE TURNING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO THIS ONE ON THE FORUMS ONLINE AND GM CLAIMS THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION AND TO SPEAK WITH THE LOCAL DEALER. MY LOCAL DEALER DOES NOT NOW KNOW WHAT TO DO AND SAYS THEY CANNOT FIX IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT! PLEASE HAVE GM FIX IT OR ISSUE A RECALL! *TR

NO ACCIDENT. (YET) HEAD LIGHTS ARE PATHETIC. RANGE OF VISION AT NIGHT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THERE IS NO DIFFUSION OF LIGHT. ONLY LIGHT IS ON A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE. CAUSES A VERY TENSE DRIVING SITUATION ON ANY DARK ROAD. THE LIGHTING ON THE PERIPHERY IS VIRTUALLY NON-EXISTENT BUT MARGINALLY IMPROVED IF FOG LIGHTS ARE LEFT ON ALL THE TIME. MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN FILED. CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY GMC HAS NOT BEEN COMPELLED TO HAVE A RECALL TO COME UP WITH A REAL SOLUTION. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A QUESTION OF ADJUSTING THE CURRENT LIGHTING ARRANGEMENT. THIS SHOULD BE A PRIORITY RECALL. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. *TR

WHEN WE TOOK OUR NEW TRUCK FOR A TEST DRIVE WE NOTICED A VIBRATION. THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED IT OUT AND TOOK CARE OF IT. WHEN TOOK DELIVERY OF THE TRUCK AND DROVE IT HOME THE VIBRATION WAS BETTER AT A SLOWER SPEED BUT INCREASED AS THE SPEED INCREASED. WE RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THAT THEY BALANCED THE TIRES AND ROTATED THE DRIVESHAFT 180 DEGREES. IT SEEM TO BE A LITTLE BETTER. BECAUSE WE TAKE THIS TRUCK TO FLORIDA FOR THE WINTER AND IT IS LOADED MY HUSBAND DECIDED THAT HE WOULD PUT SOME WEIGHT IN THE BACK OF IT TO SEE HOW IT WOULD AFFECT IT. THE VIBRATION WAS BETTER AT A SLOWER SPEED AND WORSE AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK HAS NOW BEEN BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING IN REGARDS TO IT. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING AN ELECTRONIC VIBRATION ANALYSIS ON IT. MY HUSBAND HAS RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY PEOPLE ARE REGISTERING THEM ON YOUR WEBSITE. *TR

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE JULY 2013. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY INADEQUATE AND A HAZARD TO DRIVING. THE INADEQUATE LIGHTING HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF THE ROAD ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION DUE TO THE EXTREME CURVATURE OF THE ROAD AND THE LACK OF ADEQUATE LIGHTING TO SEE THE CURVE AHEAD. THE HEADLIGHTS ALSO DO NOT AFFORD YOU TIME TO SEE ROAD HAZARDS IN THE ROADWAY. GM NEEDS TO DESIGN A FIX FOR THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT. THE *TR

I HAVE A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 CREW CAB. THE VEHICLE HAS A VIBRATION ABOVE 40 MPH SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN JULY 2013. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES, OF 4 TIRES ON THE VEHICLE THEY HAVE REPLACE 5 TIRES. THE VEHICLE STILL HAS THE VIBRATION AND AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE VIBRATION INCREASES. *TR

THE ORIGINAL HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM WHEN IN THE LOW BEAM STATE. HIGH BEAMS ARE SLIGHTLY BETTER. A BRIGHTER COLOR WOULD BE A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.

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 SHOULDER 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 DISAPPOINTED 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
