EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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

ENGINE
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

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS VEHICLE HAS THE WORSE HEADLIGHTS OF ANY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED (I HAVE OWNED 341). THE HEADLIGHTS CUT OFF ABRUPTLY AT 36 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. YOU CAN OUTDRIVE THE HEADLIGHTS AT 5 MPH. AFTER 4 VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE AIMED THE HEADLIGHTS UP TO CAST THE LIGHT OUT FURTHER, BUT THE HIGH BEAMS ARE NOW 30 FEET UP IN THE TREES. THE LIGHT IS VERY, VERY DIM OVERALL. I OWN A 2014 MOSSIMO UTV FOUR WHEELER AND THE LIGHTS ARE BRIGHTER AND HAVE MORE DISTANCE THAN MY $50,000 TRUCK, I ALSO OWN A KIA SOUL, A 2013 FORD FUSION, AND A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. ALL OF THOSE HEADLIGHTS ARE MUCH BRIGHTER AND GIVE GREAT LIGHT DISPERSION ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD AND ARE BRIGHT. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE LIKE A 3 WAY BULB 70/100/125 WATT.MY OTHER CARS ARE LIKE THE 125 AND THE GMC IS LESS THAN THE 70 WATT SETTING...GOOD COMPARISON. GMC IS USING 1 HIR SINGLE FILAMENT BULB WITH A MECHANICAL FLAPPER FOR LOW BEAM. VERY SORRY SET UP. I LIVE IN TENNESSEE WHERE THE ROADS ARE CROOKED AND HAVE NO SHOULDERS. IF YOU DRIVE OFF THE ROAD, YOU ARE IN A DEEP DITCH OR DEAD. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. 1901 HEADLIGHTS ON A 2014 TRUCK. I DO NOT ANY LONGER DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT. GM HAS DONE NOTHING. NO FIX, NO BULLETIN. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2014 GMC HEADLIGHTS ON THE INTERNET. I GUESS GM WILL COVER THIS UP LIKE THE IGNITION THING. I HAD A 2002 CORVETTE THAT THE IGNITION WOULD LOCK UP THE STEERING WHEEL ON, WHILE DRIVING. GM SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. I HAD VIDEO. THEY BOUGHT IT BACK. COVERUP ARTISTS! *TR

ENGINE, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, POWER TRAIN
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

AIR BAGS
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

ENGINE
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

SEATS
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
