SERVICE BRAKES
HAVING ISSUES WITH HARD BRAKE PEDAL. IT HAPPENED A FEW TIME WHEN THE TRUCK WAS NEW BUT COULD NEVER DUPLICATE IT. TWICE IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE SINCE FOUND A WAY TO DUPLICATE IT. WHEN BACKING A BOAT TRAILER DOWN A RAMP EVERY TIME THEY BECOME HARD, I HAVE TO RIDE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, BUT IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE BOAT IS ON THE TRAILER. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS OVER THE YEARS BUT NOT TILL RECENTLY HAVE I SEEN OTHER REPORTS OF TRUCK WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER YET BUT WILL IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO WHEN I CAN TAKE OFF TO GO. I DO NOT NOW DATE OF FIRST OCCURRENCE BUT I PUT A RANDOM DATE IN 2015.

STEERING
WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 10,000 MILES I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO INSPECT THE STEERING BECAUSE OF A BINDING/CLUNKING NOISE WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AT A STOP OR SLOW SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE NOISE AT THAT TIME. AROUND 17.000 MILES, THE NOISE HAD GOTTEN WORSE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO LOCATE IT AND REPLACED THE STEERING BOX AS WELL AS THE RACK AND PINION STEERING. AGAIN, A LITTLE AFTER 30,000 MILES THE NOISE WAS BACK BUT INTERMITTENT. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HEAR IT AND SAID THE STEERING WAS FINE. YESTERDAY, WITH 40,000 MILES, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE STEERING GEAR BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AS SOMETHING IS BINDING INSIDE ON THE REPLACEMENT STEERING BOX. GM IS DENYING THIS ISSUE YET MY RESEARCH SHOWS MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 2014 GMC SIERRA HAVE OR HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE ONE TECHNICIAN EVEN TOLD ME HIS STEERING GEAR BOX ON HIS 2014 1500 SIERRA HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND COMPLEY FAILED. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS ELECTRONIC GEAR BOX WAS INTRODUCED IN 2014 AND CHANGED FOR A DIFFERENT STEERING BOX IN 2015 MODELS. AN APPARENT ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR BRAND NEW DENALI WHICH HAS ONLY 3500 MILES ON IT. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN CROSSING A HIGHWAY WITH 55 MILES PER HOUR POSTING AND MY DAUGTHER OF 8 YEARS OLD WAS IN THE BACK SEAT. THE ENGINE AS I SAID COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITH NO INDICATOR LIGHTS OR WARNING AND MY HUSBAND WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. IT STOPPED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BY MIRACLE AND ONSTAR WAS CALLED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST GMAC DEALERSHIP. APPARENTLY THE FUEL INJECTOR PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE FACTORY. THEN IT ALSO BLEW SHRAPNEL THROUGH THE WHOLE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM AND DESTROYING AND ALL THE FUEL LINES AND PARTS TO IT. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS MY FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR AND THIS COULD HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN A HUGE TRAGEDY. I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH THIS CAR AND I WANT A FULL REFUND FOR MY AUTOMOBILE.
