general problems of the 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 - part 1

Hard shifting transmission and fluid smells burnt, shifts hard in the lower gears and reverse.

Truck completely shuts off at any speed going down the highway. Complete loss of power. Have to coast to side of road and restart vehicle.

Truck randomly shuts off and steering wheel locks up going down the road.

Within the first week of buying my 2014 GMC 1500 sierra, the transmission fluid was black in griddy. I have had it flushed, then filter changed and new fluid put in within 2 week time frame. A week later had to put a new transmission in it. It barely would drive. So a purchase at 2,999 then to a transmission 4,800 and new control arm with ball joint with new axels. They were busted. Another 2,000. Its sicking. Advice.

Catastrophic transmission failure. Original transmission failed at 113,00 miles. I replaced it at the dealership with a factory rebuilt transmission and that transmission failed after only 40,000 miles. Now the vehicle is back in the dealership shop and they want me to replace the transmission a third time. This transmission is the 6l80 which is prone to fail, the torque converter fails and the transmission locks up I contacted general motors and filed a complaint with them and they said they would not take any action or assist me with the repair.

During a turn in the parking lot my vehicle would not allow me to turn something with traction control came up on the screen. The past few days the car got stuck at 0 rpms while driving and did not feel I had adequate power and other times has stalled.

I was driving around a lake with my family. We were fishing. I had no warning at all and my transmission started to sputter and jerk extremely bad and my brakes did not work at the same time. I had to use my parking break to stop my family and I from going into the lake at 40mph. I looked up on many websites and forums and saw multiple people with the same issue. I am afraid that this will happen to a young driver and it be very tragic. Please do a recall. My truck is still sitting at my house broken. I am on disability and can not afford to fix it. I just keep paying my payments with no use of my truck. Please I beg of you.

There is a torque converter recall on the 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 however my vehicle was not included in the recall but my transmission / torque converter went out.

Transmission shutter, not shifting correctly. Had to replace transmission.

Failed transmission.

A loud clunk is heard from the transmission when shifting from one gear to anther after having to reduce acceleration.

At slow speeds, multiple times, I have had the truck completely have an electrical failure and the engine shut off. I have replaced the negative battery cable and ensured all connections are good. This has happened on streets when turning and in parking lots. When this happens all of the screens in the truck flicker and the service stabilitrack light comes on and then everything goes out, to include the engine. Myself, my family, and other drivers have been out at risk when the truck completely shuts off on a street. The dealership has not been able to give me an answer. There are many forums online where the 2014-2018 year models of this and similar gm vehicles have had the same problem. We need a specific fix for this before someone gets seriously injured or killed.

Transmission problems.

I am losing engine power. My obd2 gives me p2138 and p0700 codes. I have changed the accelerator and knock sensors.

Going under 15mph, applying the brake causes the pedal to become stiff and lock up and not work. This has caused me to almost hit someone in traffic. I immediately got off the road and got my vehicle to a safe location off the road . Communicating with a dealer today to confirm possible recall issue or potential repairs.

My truck goes into “neutral” or doesn’t have power while driving at times and can cause a car crash.

Transmission lost power.

My vehicle recently started "shuttering" while driving. Service report says it is a "common GMC issue with the torque converter", $3200. They also reported a "substantial leak" in the radiator, and again, says it is a very common fault of GMC trucks. And another $2700. If these conditions are as common as they indicate, why are there no corrective measures?.

I was driving and was almost home when I heard a pop and started getting jerked back and forth and then just slowed down almost to a complete stop with vehicles approaching quickly almost causing a multiple vehicle pile up I’ve heard multiple people complain about the particular transmission that is put in these GMC and chevy 1500s and am just confused with all of the problems I see on the internet and hear from peers in person why it has not been recalled yet if need be I will make a survey of GMC and chevy owners to let it be known that the transmissions on these vehicles were poorly built and need to be recalled before anybody has this problem that I had today.

Transmission shifting rough.

My lifters bent and my valves collapsed. I have had the vehicle repaired twice. No engine light warning. Also in Nov of 2022 oil is leaking into my cylinders. Common problem on several gm forums.

From time to time the vehicles power system will surge, blink, and generally act up. The priblem is intermittent. The check engine light will come in then go off, the engine has completely cut off several times while driving, the transmission acts up, radio will turn off, 120v outlet will turn off, occasionally the vehicle will fun for 5-15 seconds after being turned off and then sputter off. And 95% of the time the truck is absolutely fine.

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 so that it even made the 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 (including myself) where gm is acknowledging this issue but refusing to cover the replacement cost of their faulty part for hundreds of owners having this issue. This repair cost me a little over $1300. In the same service visit for my ac condenser it was identified that my radiator was leaking. This was due to a faulty thermostat causing stress fractures in the radiator causing coolant to leak. This issue has also been identified by gm however only a select few VIN's received warranty recalls. My total repair cost to fix both issues was in excess of $4000. Both problems are known to gm yet they have not remedied the issue for everyone.

I own a 2014 GMC sierra and the air conditioning condenser has gone out. This should be a recall since so many GMC & Chevrolet are having the same problem and no help is being offered to us. What a disappointment from GMC. If I would of been notified of this defect I would have never purchased these truck. Now I'm driving around in 110 degrees with my little son. Recall and fix this.

The contact owns a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle jerked and then stalled without warning. The vehicle was pushed into a driveway. The contact stated that her boyfriend's mechanic came over and diagnosed the vehicle. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Neither a dealer nor the manufacturer were made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000.

Service 4wd would pop up on my screen everytime I started my truck for the last two days going to work. When I go slow around turns then the truck would almost stop. Found out that it is the actuator and my 4wd is trying to go into 4-low automatically. Dealership could not fit me in for a week, so I took it a transmission place because this is my work truck and now have all my tools in my wife's acadia. I have a 32 ft ladder on my truck that I'm going to need ASAP and can't put on wife's acadia so I could not wait on the dealership to fit me in. All trans transmission place has had it since 3 pm on July 7th and I just paid $438 for a part and I'm up to three shop hours so far that I have to pay for when I pick it up hopefully tomorrow, which will include the additional shop hours in installing the new actuator. This is getting expensive and there is no recall for this part that I've seen, but should be included in the manufacturer warranty. I can provide all receipts once I get them.

The vehicle's transmission makes clunking sounds, and jerking movements when accelerating and decelerating (highway). When stopped on an incline the vehicle drifts backward, once your remove your foot off the brake (street). The vehicle has rolled backwards while it was fully parked and unoccupied.

My truck has 158,000 miles and had to have a new transmission put in as it was having problems accelerating, grinding and sounding like I was going over rumble strips.

Radiator is leaking from the top with only 67,000 miles and transmission shifts hard and when u let off gas while driving about 55 the rpms go down to idle then start bouncing up 500rpms then back down. Then eventually will find a gear to go in.

At speeds highway speeds 50 and above the truck can shack horrible causing to apply vehicles hazards and pulling off the road for feeling like the truck is coming apart with the fear of loosing control of the vehicle. The horrible shack cause nausea and dizziness. I have replaced wheels and tires, shocks, re aligned and balanced multiple times nothing has fixed the issue. Will be in touch with a GMC dealer about this situation .
