SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY IN REVERSE, BRAKES FAIL. I HAVE TO PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THEY STILL DO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. THIS IS A CONSISTENT, MULTI-INCIDENT, PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASE. MANIFESTS ESPECIALLY WHEN BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT.

ENGINE
ON APRIL 21ST A PRESSURIZED LINE LEADING FROM THE ENGINE TO THE ENGINE COOLER FAILED AND THE ENGINE SUFFERED RAPID OIL LOSS LEADING TO ENGINE FAILURE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A FREQUENT ISSUE WITH 2019 SIERRAS AND SILVERADOS (THE NEW BODY STYLE): HTTPS://WWW.GM-TRUCKS.COM/FORUMS/TOPIC/222403-2019-SILVERADO-TRAILBOSS-53L-ENGINE-OIL-COOLER-LINE-FAILURE/ THE TRUCK WAS MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH ON A STRAIGHT SURFACE STREET AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. MILEAGE WAS ONLY 5,500 MILES. OTHER IMPACTED OWNERS SEEM TO BELIEVE IT IS A FAILURE OF A POORLY DESIGNED CRIMP CONNECTOR. IT'S BEEN 15 DAYS SINCE THE INCIDENT AND MY VEHICLE ISN'T REPAIRED YET. OTHER OWNERS REPORT WAITING CLOSE TO 30 DAYS FOR GM TO DECIDE HOW TO PROCEED.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY TRUCK BRAKES DON'T WORK WHEN I AM GOING SLOWLY. I HAVE TO PUSH IN THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD AND IT FEELS LIKE I'M STEPPING ON A ROCK. THE BRAKES DON'T WORK WHEN I AM MOVING SLOWLY(DRIVE THROUGH, PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE, PULLING INTO GARAGE, COMING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN GOING SLOW). IT IS VERY SCARY. I HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING YET, BUT I FEEL I WILL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE SIERRA SURGES FROM PARK TO REVERSE AND DRIVE. I BUMPED A VEHICLE TODAY, AND THE SURGE HAS BECOME AN ISSUE THIS WEEK AND THERE IS NOT EVEN 9,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. THE AFM IS ROUGH SHIFTING BETWEEN V8 AND V4 MODE TOO. NONE OF THIS WAS AN ISSUE UNTIL RECENTLY. MY SPEAKERS ALSO VIBRATE LIKE A BLOWN SPEAKER ON HIGH DEFINITION RADIO, BUT NOT ON REGULAR RADIO STATIONS.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY AT LOW TO MODERATE SPEEDS BOTH GOING FORWARD AND IN REVERSE. BRAKE PEDAL WENT FLAT TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. INITIALLY OCCURRED NOVEMBER 7, 2018 AND HAS PERIODICALLY RECURRED SINCE THEN. AS OF MARCH AND APRIL 2019 IT HAS BEGUN TO RECUR MORE FREQUENTLY. AFTER THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE I TOOK THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALER. THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND TOOK NO CORRECTIVE ACTION. THEY DID RECOMMEND REPLACING THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND MACHINING THE ROTORS, WHICH I HAD THEM DO. MILEAGE WAS 44,522 AT THAT TIME. IT IS BACK WITH THE DEALER TODAY AND THE FOCUS SEEMS TO BE THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. OF COURSE, THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY SO I'M WAITING TO SEE IF THEY WILL PERFORM THE REPAIRS AT GMC'S EXPENSE OR NOT. IF NOT, I WILL LIKELY BEGIN CONTACTING OTHER OWNERS TO CREATE A GROUP LARGE ENOUGH TO INITIATE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE VACUUM ASSIST PUMP ON MY 2014 GMC SIERRA WENT OUT SUDDENLY DURING MY MORNING COMMUTE. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY FIRM AND THE BRAKES WERE UNRESPONSIVE. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING IN AN CONGESTED AREA AN ACCIDENT WOULD LIKELY OCCUR.

BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD AND NON EFECTIVE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK OR AT LOW IDLE SPEEDS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS NEARLY CAUSING SERIOUS HARM TO BYSTANDERS AND PROPERTY. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH GM TRUCKS AND DO NOT KNOW WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM SERIOUS INJURY.

ENGINE
MY SIERRA DEVELOPED A NOISE ON DECELERATION. TOOK IT TO THE GMC DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT HAD A WORN CAM. $5500 TO REPAIR, $7750 TO REPLACE ENGINE. I KNEW THAT A WORN CAM WOULD CAUSE LIFTER NOISE ALL THE TIME SO THAT WAS WRONG INFO. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND OUT THIS TRUCK HAS ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT. WHAT HAPPENED WAS A FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS TRUCK ALWAYS HAD HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. I DEACTIVATED THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. THE TRUCK RUNS ON ALL 8 CYLINDERS, IS COMPLETELY QUIET AND NO LONGER USES OIL. IT IS BETTER THAN NEW. I ALSO FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MY AND PAID FOR EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. THIS ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A SCAM TO FALSELY INCREASE FUEL MILEAGE AND TO RIP OFF CUSTOMERS WHEN IT GOES BAD. IT CAN BE DEACTIVATED WITH A $175 CHIP.
