ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY TRUCK EXHIBITED THE SAME ISSUES AS #10240: SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT-HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING BLOWER NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL OR INOPERATIVE - (MAY 9, 2011). HOWEVER MY AUTO CLIMATE FAN WAS NOT COVERED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. MY TRUCK BECAME SMOKY FROM THE OVERHEATING WIRES AND THE HVAC SYSTEM WOULD RUN AFTER CUTTING OFF THE IGNITION.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE FACTORY SUPPLIED RUNNING BOARDS HAVE TREADS THAT FAIL TO PROVIDE ANY TRACTION FOR FEET WHILE ENTERING OR EXITING. THE TREADS NEED TO BE ROTATED 90 DEGREES AND MADE OF A SOFTER RUBBER WITH A DEEPER AND MORE AGGRESSIVE TREAD PATTERN. AS THEY EXIST THEY ARE VERY SLIPPERY ESPECIALLY WHEN WET OR FROZEN. GIVEN THE ADDED HEIGHT OF TRUCKS IT REQUIRES SOME USE OF THE RUNNING BOARDS TO ENTER/EXIT THE TRUCK. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE 68. AS DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED THEY ARE ACTUALLY AN ACCELERANT IN SLIPPING FEET. I FEEL THEY ARE OF DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE AND COULD/SHOULD BE MADE SAFER. I FELL THREE TIMES IN THE PAST MONTHS WHILE EXITING MY SIERRA 1500.

MY PICKUP TRUCK WAS IN MOTION WHEN DRIVING ON A CITY STREET I HAD TO SLOW DOWN. THE BRAKE-PETAL WENT ALMOST COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. I ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WHILE TRYING TO STOP. AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE OF STREET I CHECKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR METAL BRAKE LINE ADJACENT TO THE TRUCK FRAME HAD RUSTED AND BURST.

SUSPENSION
REGARDING 2014 GMC SIERRA 6 CYLINDER FULL SIZE PICKUP. VEHICLE VIBRATES AS IF RUNNING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS AT APX 1500 RPM. LOCAL GM SERVICE CENTER AND GM CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE STATED ABOVE IS NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION. LOCAL GM SERVICE CENTER CORRECTLY SUGGESTED THAT TRUCK BE DRIVEN FASTER OR SLOWER TO PREVENT VIBRATION OR THAT VEHICLE BE DRIVEN IN 5TH GEAR RATHER THAN OVERDRIVE 6TH GEAR TO PREVENT VIBRATION. IF VEHICLE IS NOR DRIVEN FASTER OR SLOWER TO GET OUT OF VIBRATION RANGE, THE TRUCK WILL VIBRATE ENDLESSLY. 2014 GMC SIERRA IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. NEEDING TO SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN TO PREVENT VIBRATION SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES RISK FOR MVA. NEEDING TO DRIVE IN 5TH GEAR RATHER THAN 6TH GEAR REDUCES GAS MILEAGE AS REPORTED TO NHSTA. LOCAL MECHANICS HAVE COMMENTED THAT THE ABOVE VIBRATION COMPLAINT IS COMMON TO 2014 6 CYLINDER GMC/CHEVY FULL SIZE PICKUP TRUCKS AND THAT THE VIBRATION MAY BE SECONDARY TO CYLINDER DEACTIVATION AND CHASSIS RIGIDITY. IT CERTAINLY WOUND BE A SHAME FOR A COLLISION TO OCCUR OR FOR A PEDESTRIAN TO GET RUN OVER BY A DRIVER OF A 2014 GMC/CHEVY FULL SIZE PICKUP WHO HAD TO SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN TO REDUCE EXCESSIVE VIBRATION AT APX 1500 RPM

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS TRUCK HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE 2007 MODEL. THE IGNITION SWITCH, PARKING BRAKE, AND FUEL LINES ALL HAVE ISSUES AS SIMILARLY DESCRIBED FOR THE 2007 MODEL. THE FUEL LINES ACTUALLY BROKE THROUGH CAUSING A LEAK OF THE DIESEL FUEL. THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN A SHORT DISTANCE OF 15 MILES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE PRIMER PUMP HOUSING DEVELOPS A SMALL LEAK AROUND A ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. THIS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE AS FUEL DROPS ON THE ENGINE. GM IS AWARE OF PROBLEM IT HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IT ONLY OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS RUNNING. NOTE-NO FIRE HAS HAPPEN TO MY VEHICLE, NOR DO I KNOW OF A FIRE OCCURRING. I JUST BELIEVE THIS IS UNSAFE. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE PRIMER PUMP HOUSING.
