ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
22014 SIERRA 1500 4X4 HAS TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AT LOW SPEEDS INCLUDING POWER STEERING, BRAKES, DASHBOARD AND ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL ITEMS. 6TH EVENT OF THIS NATURE. MOST RECENT WAS ON A DOWNTOWN STREET IN BRIGHTON MI. TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE TRUCK STALLED. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. AFTER BEING ABLE TO RESTART THE TRUCK WE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND ONCE AGAIN A FULL POWER FAILURE. IT WAS RESTARTED AFTER 5-10 MINUTES BUT WE NEED HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. AND SO DO A LOT OF OTHER TRUCK OWNERS FROM THE COMPAINTS WE HAVE READ. WE HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK IN FOR THE STABILITY TRACK RECALL. THE DAY AFTER THEY SERVICED THE RECALL THE TRUCK STARTED THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. WE TOOK IT BACK TO FELDMAN CHEVROLET BUT THEY JUST SAID TO WATCH IT. WE ARE TAKING IT BACK TOMORROW. AUGUST 14, 2018.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
TRUCK HAS 3 PROBLEMS THAT CAN PUT MY FAMILY'S LIFE IN DANGER. 1- SOMETIMES OUT OF NOWHERE AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN THE 'STABILITRAC' LIGHT FLASHES IN THE SCREEN AND LOCKS AND WON'T LET YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.AT THIS POINT YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL, IT LOCKS AND BOUNCES BACK AT YOU AND IF YOU KEEP TRYING TO TURN IT, THE ENGINE CUTS OFF ALL POWER AND IT STALLS, JUST DIES. I ALMOST GOT READ ENDED A COUPLE OF TIMES ALREADY DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. JUST THIS MORNING I WAS MAKING A RIGHT ONTO A LOCAL MCDONALD'S AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE ENGINE DIED ON ME. I HAD TO QUICKLY TURN IT ON AGAIN AND KEEP GOING.ANOTHER TIME IT HAPPEN AS I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. VERY SCARY! PROBLEM NUMBER TWO, I THINK ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS ON ME ON HIGH SPEEDS. SOMETIMES WHEN I'M ON THE FREEWAY, THE SAME CHIMES COME ON WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKES, THE CENTER SCREENS GOES BLACK, AND THE SAME 'STABILITRAC' WARNING COMES ON THE SMALLER SCREEN BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. I'M AFRAID TO TAKE IT ON A WINDING ROAD FOR FEAR THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK ON ME CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. 3- SERVICE BRAKE CONTROLLER SIGN AND CHIMES COME ON ANT WON'T GO AWAY. IT JUS KEEPS ON POPPING ON AND ON AND ON AND THEY GO AWAY WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE TRUCK, AND COME ON AGAIN MONTHS OR WEEKS LATER. I DID HAVE IT CHECKED AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP.THEY TESTED IT, SOLD ME NEW GROUND AND HOT WIRES. IT WAS GOOD FOR ABOUT 4 WEEKS BEFORE THE SAME PROBLEMS CAME BACK AGAIN. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON SOME OF THE FORUMS AND YOU TUBE VIDEOS AND BY FAR I'M THE ONLY ONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. VERY AFRAID TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

THE FIRST TIME WAS TRAVELLING ON A HIGHWAY AND THE SECOND TIME WAS ON MY DRIVEWAY, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN, INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, AND ENGINE.

POWER TRAIN, WHEELS
8 SPEED TRANSMISSION BUCKS, HESITATES, LURCHES FORWARD, CLUNKS, WHILE STARTUNG ACCELERATION OR COMING TO A STOP. I TRY TO KEEP A BIG GAP BETWEEN MY TRUCK AND CARS IN FRONT OF ME AT STOP SIGNS BECAUSE IT RANDOMLY LURCHES FORWARD AND I ALMOST HAVE BUMPED CARS IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER SO MANU TIMES TO FIX THE VIBRATION ISSUES AS WELL, THEY SAID 3 TIRES THAT CAME IN THE BRAND NEW TRUCK WERE DEFECTIVE SO I HAD TO REPLACE THEM ALL AND THE SHAKE IS STILL THERE, THE BALANCED, REBALANCED, ROAD FORCE BALANCE AND NOTHING WORKS. LAST TIME AT THE DEALER SAID IT IS PROBABLY THE TIRES, HE SAID DONT ROTATE THEM AGAIN AND WHEN THEY WEAR OUT HE WILL PUT ME IN A 'BETTER' TIRE. I AM PAST MY WARRANTY SO THE DEALER SAYS ANY COSTS ARE MY RESPONSIBILITT, IF THE NHTSA COULD PLEASE STEP IN TO ASSIST US TO MAKE GM FIC THEAE VEHICLES WHICH ARE A SAFETY HAZARD.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK A FEW MONTHS AGO. WITHIN A WEEK I HAD A CO WORKER POINT OUT THE BED WAS LEANING TOWARD THE CAB. A FEW WEEKS LATER WE GOT UNDER THE TRUCK TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. WE NOTICED ALOT OF RUST. I LOOKED ON LINE TO SEE HOW TO FIX IT AND FOUND ALOT OF PEOPLE WERE DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I DECIDED TO GET SOME SHEET METAL AND WELD IT TO THE FRAME. I THEN ASKED MY BOSS WHO OWNS A WELDER IF HE COULD HELP ME WITH IT. HE SAID THERE WASN'T ANYTHING LEFT TO WELD TO. THEN THE TRUCK STARTED NOT GOING INTO PARK. AND TO START IT YOU'D HAVE TO START IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT WOULD NOT STAY IN PARK, IT WOULD ROLL AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE NO LONGER WORKED. I THEN HAD MY PARENTS TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO A BODY SHOP TO SEE IF THEY COULD REPAIR IT. BOTH BODY SHOPS SAID IT WAS NOT REPAIRABLE THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED OUT AND NEEDED REPLACED. ONE SHOP SAID THAT THE PARKING ISSUE COULD BE FROM THE FRAME BENDING, BUT DID NOT KNOW WITHOUT GETTING INTO THAT. THEY ALSO TOLD THEM THAT THE TRUCK WAS UNSAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD. I FINANCED THIS TRUCK FOR $5500 AND NOW I'M PAYING PAYMENTS ON A TRUCK I CAN'T EVEN USE.

POWER TRAIN
TRUCK SHIFTS REALLY HARD AND IS UNPREDICTABLE. I ALMOST DROVE THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR THE OTHER DAY SHIFTING TO DRIVE FROM REVERSE. TRUCK WILL LUNGE FORWARD OR DELAY IN SHIFTING. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW TIMES I'VE HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES BEFORE I BACKED INTO SOMETHING. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN 3-4 TIMES FOR THE ISSUE AND GMC WON'T REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

STEERING
THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING IN SLOW CONDITIONS, NORMALLY WHILE IN PARKING LOTS OR MAKING A TURN. THIS NORMALLY ONLY HAPPENS WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. WHEN THIS OCCURS, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTINUE THE TURN OF THE WHEEL TO COMPLETE YOUR TURN. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE NEW TO RECENT AND WE ARE ALWAYS TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT RE-CREATE THE ISSUE, SO THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX. THE PROBLEM WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A CRASH AT SOME POINT IF IT IS NOT ADDRESSED, AS IT CREATES A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND INABILITY TO CONTROL THE TURN OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW UP UNTIL MOST RECENTLY TODAY, JULY 30, 2018.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY 2014 GMC SIERRA IS HAVING A MAJOR BRAKE ISSUE. I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AFTER BEING TOLD THE PADDING WAS LOW. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK DOES NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN BRAKING ON A HILL. I READ IN ANOTHER ARTICLE THAT THE VACUUM PUMP GOES OUT AT A LOW RPM, CAUSING THE TRUCK NOT TO STOP. UNFORTUNATELY, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, AND COULDN'T STOP. THIS ISSUE ALMOST CAUSED HER TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS PASSING AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY.
