ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE VEHICLES HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY INEFFECTIVE. THEY RARELY ILLUMINATE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN 2 TELEPHONE POLES. THE INEFFECTIVENESS OF THE HEADLIGHTS IS AMPLIFIED ON HILLS OR ON ANY TURN. THE DURING THE TRANSITION FROM DECLINE TO INCLINE, YOU SOMETIMES HAVE BARELY A TRUCKS LENGTH OF ILLUMINATION. ANY CORNER ON A DARK ROAD REQUIRES A SEVERE DECREASE IN TRAVEL SPEED TO AVOID OVER DRIVING THE LIGHTS. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE THAT MADE ME FEEL MORE APPREHENSIVE TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL AFTER DARK. I VISITED THE DEALER WHO EXECUTED A TSB THAT INCREASED HEADLIGHT VOLTAGE AND REPLACED THE BULBS. IT MADE A NEGLIGIBLE IMPROVEMENT AND LEFT THE VEHICLE STILL UNSAFE AT NIGHT. I FREQUENTLY TRAVEL ON RURAL ROADS WITH NO STREET LIGHTS. I HAVE ALMOST HIT WILDLIFE TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT DUE TO THE POOR VISIBILITY CAUSED BY THESE DANGEROUS HEADLIGHTS. TRAVEL OVER 30 MPH ON DARK COUNTRY ROADS WITH A LEGAL SPEED LIMIT OF 50 IS ILL ADVISED DUE TO THE INEFFECTIVENESS OF THE HEADLIGHTS.

THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE, YET THE DEALERSHIP SENT ME A NOTICE SAYING THERE WAS A RECALL. THIS IS HIGHLY MISLEADING AND CAUSED ME TO BELIEVE SOMETHING WAS UNSAFE ABOUT MY TRUCK, CONSIDERING THE DOCUMENT FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I TRADED A 2011 GMC SIERRA ON THIS 2014 GMC SIERRA (SLE / DOUBLE CAB / 4.3L V6), PLUS STILL HAVE A 2012 GMC SIERRA, AND THE LIGHTS ON THESE 2 WHEN COMPARED TO THE 2014 GMC WERE / ARE LIKE NIGHT AND DAY - THE 2014 GMC SIERRA IS POSITIVELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT - LIGHTS ARE DISGUSTING - HIGH BEAM ON 2014 GMC IS WORSE THAN LOW BEAM ON MY EARLIER GMC SIERRA'S. TOOK COPY OF "CARCOMPLAINT.COM" REPORT ON HEADLIGHT PROBLEM TO DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY SAID GM HAS NOT PROVIDED THEM WITH ANY INFO' OF "SUPPOSED" PROBLEM, NOR CAN THEY OFFER A SOLUTION. HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES - NO ACTION, AN NO CONCERN EITHER, IN MY OPINION.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUS! DEALER PERFORMED UPDATE( NEW BULBS AND INCREASE VOLTAGE TO BCM) BUT IMPROVEMENT WAS MINIMAL. HAVE EVEN TRIED LED CONVERSION, WITH VERY LITLE IMPROVEMENT. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL VEIHCLES WITH PROJECTOR SYSTEM, AND HAD ZERO COMPLAINTS. I HAVE LOOKED A PROJECTOR LENS ON OTHER VEHICLES, AND THEY DO NOT HAVE IMPURITIES (TINY AIR BUBBLES) IN THE LENS. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE SUB-PAR LENSES.THIS CREATES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR NIGHT DRIVING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DRIVING 75MPH IN HEAVY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK LOST POWER AND SLOWED TO 40 MPH IN ABOUT 200 YARDS. WE ALMOST GOT HIT BY ALL THE TRAFFIC BEHIND AND AROUND US AS THIS HAPPEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. WE GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HWY AND I HAVE A SCANNER AND FOUND 2 CODES P0207 AND P2146. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED THE WIRING TO THE #7 INJECTOR AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. PLUGGED IT BACK IN CLEARED CODES ,ENGINE RAN FINE SO START DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN. AFTER 5 MILES IT DID IT AGAIN. IT TOOK ME 5 HOURS TO GO 90 MILES TO GET TO THE NEXT CITY. AT THE HOTEL I FOUND THAT GM HAS A TECH BULLETIN FOR THESE FAULTS AND IT WAS PUBLISHED IN 2008 AT LEAST. SO I WENT TO A DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CHARGE ME FOR THIS REPAIR. I WANT TO KNOW WHY GM DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF THIS KNOWN DEFECT IN 2008 SO I COULD HAVE THE TRUCK REPAIRED IN 2008? THIS DEFECT CAUSES THE TRUCK TO LOOSE SO MUCH POWER THAT IT WILL SLOW IN TRAFFIC WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WHY WOULD THIS NOT BE A RECALL THAT GM SHOULD PAY FOR ? GM TB NUMBER IS 05-06-04-047C WHICH TELLS YOU WHAT HAPPENS TO THE TRUCK WHEN THIS DEFECT HAPPENS.
