general problems of the 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 - part 2

My truck. Was. Fixed. Once for the sterring and is still. Cutting out its. So. Bad that its shutting the hole truck down. In the. Middle. Of the road an. On the highway or when u go to speed up it cuts out n the streen comes tight.

The service trailer wiring warning comes on with no trailer connected or if there is a trailer connected you have no trailer brakes this happens at any speed I have had this truck to 4 different dealers but the light went out before I got there and they could find no problem this started when the vehicle was new and still happens it seems to be the worst when it is damp or raining but not always it does not matter how fast you are traveling.

A/c condenser and hose defective manufacturing causing it to malfunction and cease working. Has happened on numerous models but GMC refuses to to cover the costs associated with this. Items needed to repair are out of stock causing long delays in getting repair. Driving in the extreme heat in socal with small children is not safe. Would like for your agency to help in protecting the consumer by standing up to GMC / chevy to hold them accountable for this faulty manufacturing. There is a pending class action lawsuit in TN I believe and countless social media posts about this widespread problem yet it remains the burden of the consumer to not only pay out of pocket but to wait for repairs because parts are out of stock. 1st quote was $1600, then GMC said they would pay for a portion bringing the costs down to approximately $700. Its a huge financial burden that shouldn't exist. Do a quick google search on GMC ac problems and you will see the problem is not unique to me. We've only owned GMC cars and never had an issue and have put over 150k miles on it. Please help.

Ac started blowing hot air, shop came back to me with a bad condenser and over $1100 to fix. Truck only has 73k miles on it and has been well taken care of.

The ac condenser was leaking, which made the ac blow hot air. After much research, this has been an ongoing, and known, issue that has not been addressed. Many individuals have been taken advantage of monetarily (me just yesterday) because of this issue, and needs to be recalled. I just had hip surgery, and the cost of repair really put a financial strain on me. I live in texas, and no ac is not an option.

2014-2015 GMC sierras were produced with a known faulty a/c condenser with a bad weld that causes an a/c system leak requiring replacement. There has been an overwhelming failure of the product across the country, so bad to even make nbc news. Gm became aware of this issue and sent new (properly produced) condensers to their production lines first, leaving hundreds of GMC owners without a/c over the summer. They put out a "special recall" on a very small number of vins saying it "may" happen in other vins. There is an overwhelming volume of complaints online (to include myself) to where gm is acknowledging this issue but refusing to cover the replacement cost of their faulty part for hundreds of owners having this issue. The replacement cost of this faulty part for my vehicle was $1,338. 61 at the GMC dealership. I've called GMC and their response was: "it may happen with my VIN but they will not cover the replacement" even though I have confirmed that this was in fact the issue with my vehicle as well as hundreds of other owners across the country.

A/c condencer.

Ac condenser leak. History of faulty condensers with gm trucks.

A/c condenser failure on a 3-year old truck. $1,200 dealer repair and google search online shows this is a massive systemic problem amongst owners. Need a recall.

Vehicle shakes excessively at highway speeds. Shaking is so bad that it causes seatbelts to lock. Multiple sets of tires and balancing have not solved the issue.

When driving at higher speeds (50+ mph - typically on the highway) the entire truck shakes: the console, steering wheel, etc. You can feel it in the seats and the floor boards. It feels as though the truck is going to go out of control or break down at any moment. Over the past two years, we have had our entire truck suspension, alignment, brakes/rotors, etc inspected numerous times and were told more than once by gm technicians that this vehicle performs under acceptable conditions according to general motors, even though they agree that it does not feel acceptable. My last inspection was today and I was told the same thing.

A/c condenser went. Gm has not issued a recall. There is a national back order on the re-designed condenser. People are being forced to wait months and are going without a/c. Gm claims that they are aware and are working with two manufacturers to get the new part made and shipped to dealers. Please see documentation of chat session with gm rep.

A/c condenser issues across many different vehicles have caused the part to be on back order in some cases for months. To me this sounds like a defective part that warrants a recall. A can of refrigerant can leak out, for me, in the matter of just a few weeks and I took it in and was informed of the condenser leak. This has been an ongoing thing that many others have complained about. I understand that this does not qualify as a safety issue but others have stated this is the process to conduct a recall investigation if warranted.

I currently own a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 with 55,000 miles. On may 15 2017 the vehicle was diagnosed with needing an ac condenser at greiner Buick GMC because the vehicle had stopped blowing cold air. We were told the part had to be ordered and they would call us when it arrived to be installed. That following day we received a phone call from the parts department at the dealership stating that the ac condenser is unavailable and they did not have an eta because the part was backordered. About a week had past, and being frustrated with having no ac , living in 110 degree weather and driving this vehicle with a 2 month old and 4 year old child, I was desperate to have it fixed. I contacted general motors directly to see what the issue was with the part and see if they could help me. After speaking to the representative, I got no answers besides they are "working on it. " she told me this was a nationwide problem and they are trying to get the part available from the manufacturer. I told her my situation and the safety issue with no ac and the climate I live in and she told me they couldn't do anything or expedite getting the part. My husband and I looked into getting an aftermarket condenser and those too are unavailable. We did research and there are tons or complaints about the ac condenser breaking in the GMC sierras and chevy silverado models and gm has done nothing about recalling it. This part rarely fails in a vehicle, unless it is damaged. It is clear that this part is defective, and is unavailable even to be replaced. This is a huge safety concern and gm needs to address this. Still, 2 months later our vehicle still has no ac and gm has done nothing to help us.

Ac is blowing hot air. Dealership confirmed the condenser was leaking and required replacement. Dealership has ordered new part and advised that part is on a national back order and could not provided an estimated time of arrive for replacement part.

Major problem with my air condenser that is defective. . . Does not work. There is a nation wide back order for this item for all GMC sierra's and nothing is being done to service the customers. It's been 3 weeks and counting now and still no answers. Air condenser problem. . . My ac unit is not operating.

A/c stopped cooling last spring/summer. I live in louisiana so driving without a/c was not an option, especially with children and elderly parents . I was told that this was a nationwide issue due to a faulty design, but that GMC would not pay to repair it. I had to pay over $1,000 out of pocket to get this fixed. GMC needs to reimburse everyone who has had this problem.

A/c not working. Been told by gm dealer that tgis problem was on a recall but our VIN did not come up.

I am writing to inform that my sierra has what is know as the"chevy shake" in which it vibrates in speeds ranging from 65 to 80. Please help with this issue, as it's only a matter of time before this vibration fatigues a structural component. Thanks.

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.

The headlights on the truck are not as bright or as effective as they should be when traveling in the dark. I am forced to use the high beam far more than I would normally do in my car. Even with the upgrade, the light is still weak. Even to the point that I decided to buy after market leds to replace them. The 2016 had a complete redesign of the headlights and I wonder why. As for the infotament system. It is weak to say it nicely. The fact that my 2014 model can not get the same features that they introduced in the 2015 (speech to text) and 2016 (car play) is appalling. Especially when they say the hardware is not there for the text to speech but there are 3rd vendors who can give it on the 2014 models. As for the rust proofing on this truck. It was cheaply done and the protective film is wearing off. I would take it to the dealership but I decided this spring I will have it professionally fixed with some rust proof paint and not the cheap wax that gm used.

The backseat headrests do not remain in the upright position. They slide down with the slightest contact from the person's head. The maintenance/service person at the dealership indicated that there has been numerous complaints from owners. He indicated that at this time it is a "no fix" problem. This is unacceptable and does not meet the national highway traffic boards regulations on headrest equipment. This is a real safety concern. The service department indicated that a latch needs to be installed to hold the headrest in place. If this is not corrected, people will at some point in time sustain serious injury. I feel like contacting 60 minutes with the problem and your response.

Mark porter gm superstore in pomeroy, OH sold me a new truck with unresolved recalls in December 2014, one being gm recall 14192. The engine in my truck failed on January 1, 2015, and the recalls were disclosed to me when the truck was towed in for repair, approximately 2 weeks after purchase. The aforementioned safety recall is in reference to a potential transfer case selector malfunction. After repair of the recall, I had a malfunction of the transfer case selector, except it became stuck in 4 wheel drive, instead of shifting to neutral. I had also been experiencing issues with the cruise control, which I asked them to address while it was in there for the 4 wheel drive selector problem. The service dept reset the 4wd selector again, and told me that my cruise control issue was related to the 4wd issue. I still have issues with the cruise control, and have requested a buy back. It has been approximately 5 weeks since I informed them that I feel my vehicle is unsafe, and nobody has made any effort to help at all. I would like to return my vehicle for a full refund, as well as I would like to see the dealership fined for selling me a vehicle with an unresolved safety recall. I feel this is unacceptable on their behalf.

Vehicle has shudder, wobble and vibration when being driven at speeds 40-80. GMC has diagnosed as a tire issue but vehicle has been seen 14+ times and tires have all been road force balanced, numerous times. GMC refuses to diagnose further and has not identified the cause of the problem. Vibration has affected other components. Commonly reported problem affecting 2014 GMC sierra trucks based on internet search.

No accident has occurred yet as a result of the following deficiency. Headlights on my 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 slt are totally inadequate on high or low beam. The lighting distance is inadequate and is so directional that there is no side flair lighting for turning like you have with conventional headlights. This is a serious safety issue and needs to be addressed immediately by the NHTSA. I have had this vehicle for 1 1/2 years and the problem is ongoing since I bought it. The dealer has no solution.

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.

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.
