EXTERIOR LIGHTING
GMC SIERRA MY2014 HEADLIGHT DON'T ILLUMINATE PROPERLY DOWN THE ROAD, THE HEADLIGHT DON'T GIVE GOOD ADVISABLY DURING DRY,FOG, OR WET CONDITIONS. IT IS KIND OF SAD SPENDING OVER 45K ON A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T ILLUMINATE PROPERLY. I HAVE OWN OTHER GM VEHICLES HAVE BETTER ILLUMINATION. THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO GET A FIX FOR THIS TRUCKS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. YOU CAN NOT SEE SIDES OR IN FRONT OF YOU . I HIT A DEER STANDING N THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, DID NOT SEE IT TILL IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. MY WIFE HAS A 2006 TAHOE AND HER HEADLIGHTS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN THE ONE IN A 2014. GMC NEEDS TO FIX IT BEFORE PEOPLE START DYING

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO STABILITRAK, THE ONBOARD COMPUTING SYSTEM. WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE, LOSS OF POWER CAN OCCUR. USUALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE POWER JUST 'FLICKERS' ON AND OFF, SOME TIMES REPEATEDLY. THE BREAKING MECHANISM SEEMS TO BE SOMEWHAT AFFECTED BY THIS. AT SLOWER SPEEDS, THE SAME PROBLEM CAN OCCUR, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND FORCES MY TRUCK TO TURN HARD TO THE LEFT. EACH TIME THE PROBLEM OCCURS, "STABILITRAK ERROR" AND "LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL" OR SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF "LOSS OF POWER, DANGER" WILL APPEAR -- ALTHOUGH, IT IS USUALLY JUST SOMETHING RELATING TO "STABILITRAK". I'VE NEARLY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ~3 TIMES. IT'S NO QUESTION A DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND TO PEDESTRIANS. GM HAS BEEN GETTING SUED LIKE CRAZY, AND IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THEY ARE AVOIDING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OF THIS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2014 GMC SIERRA HAS VERY DIM HEAD LIGHTS, VERY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE YOUR OWN LANE AT TIMES IN THE DARK. ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHEN IT'S RAINING AT NIGHT. MANY TIMES I'VE HAD TO DOUBLE CHECK TO MAKE SURE MY HEADLIGHTS WERE ON BECAUSE THERE SO DIM IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THERE ON AT ALL. IT MAKES FOR VERY NERVE RACKING DRIVING AT NIGHT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE HEADLIGHTS, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR GMC DRIVERS AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD.. TEST DRIVE ONE IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT OUT IN THE COUNTRY.. NOT IN TOWN , WITH STREET LIGHTS!!! *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE HAS SIDE BOARD STEPS. THE TREAD PATTERN IS SUCH THAT WHEN WET OR ICY THE STEP IS A VIRTUAL SKID PAD. WHEN YOU PLACE WEIGHT ON THE FOOT ON THE TREAD IT IMMEDIATELY SLIPS OUT FROM UNDER YOUR POSITION. LAST YEAR I BROKE A FOOT WHEN I SLIPPED AND THIS YEAR IT WAS AN ANKLE. TREAD DESIGN NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED AND TURNED 90. AS DESIGNED THERE IS NO TRACTION PROTECTION. JUST THE OPPOSITE, IT PROMOTES LACK OF TRACTION RESULTING IN SLIPPING AND FALLING.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS ARE NOT ADEQUATE ENOUGH AT NIGHTTIME TO SEE . LIMITED SITE DISTANCE AND BRIGHTNESS. I DONT LIKE DRIVING AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THIS CREATING A SAFETY PROBLEM. LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF INSTALLING LED LIGHTS BUT DONT THINK I SHOULD BARE THE COST SINCE GMC HAS A PROBLEM THEY NEED TO CORRECT BEFORE I AM HURT DRIVING WITH THESE UNSUITABLE LIGHTS THEY HAVE INSTALLED ON THEIR VEHICLES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 HEADLIGHTS ARE UNSAFE AT NIGHT ON DIM OR HIGH BEAM. CANNOT SEE CLOSE TO THE SIDES OR DISTANCE. WOULD BE EASY TO HIT A PEDESTRIAN. ASKED THE DEALER IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR IF THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID NO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON LINE AND DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANYTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT. WHY ISN'T ANYTHING BEING DONE BEFORE PEOPLE GETTING KILLED OR INJURED..

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM I DOUBT IT WOULD BE ANY LESS SAFE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THEM OFF. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, AND MY FIRST TIME DRIVING AT NIGHT I HAD TO PARK, GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CHECK TO SEE IF THE LIGHT BULBS WERE BURNED OUT. THE BULBS WERE NOT BURNED OUT, BUT THEY ALSO DO NOT FUNCTION AS HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THEY LITERALLY ILLUMINATE NOTHING. I CAN SEE THE SHADOW OF MY TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME IN OTHER VEHICLES HEADLIGHTS AS THEY PASS ME. IF AN OBJECT, AN ANIMAL, OR A PERSON WERE IN THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME I DOUBT I WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THEM BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE. I BELIEVE A SIERRA EQUIPPED WITH THESE HEADLIGHTS WILL LIKELY BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH SERIOUS INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR EVEN DEATH. I CAN ONLY PRAY AND HOPE THAT I'M NOT ONE OF THEM. GM HAS RELEASED A TSB WITH AN EXPENSIVE PROCEDURE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM SIGNALING TO ME THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT A PROBLEM EXIST. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, STEERING
STEERING WHEEL SPRINGS/SNAPS (HARD) IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THAT THE WHEEL IS BEING TURNED AND STEERING CONTROL IS LOST. WHEN THIS DOES NOT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN STEERING CONTROL IS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS DOES CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF THE STEERING IS RESTORED WITH THE RESTART. THE STABILI TRAK INDICATOR APPEARS JUST FOR AN INSTANT ON THE DIC WHEN THIS HAPPENS. NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE 'SERVICE STABILI TRAK' INDICATOR BUT MORE LIKE STABILI TRAK HAS BEEN ACTIVATED INDICATOR. THIS HAPPENED FIRST IN REVERSE WHILE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT. (THREE TIMES IN REVERSE). THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING IN DRIVE, TWICE WHILE PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN AND ONCE WHILE DOING 15-20 MPH TURNING ONTO A SIDE STREET. THE 15-20 MPH TURNING INSTANCE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF, STEERING BECAME NON EXISTENT FOR AN INSTANT AND THEN VERY VERY HEAVY. I CROSSED THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC AND ALMOST LANDED IN THE DITCH. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR A TOTAL OF 14 DAYS, BOTH TIMES 'CANNOT DUPLICATE' WAS THE RESULT. NO CODES ARE BEING GENERATED FROM THESE INSTANCES. CAUSE IS UNKNOWN. LOOSE VOLTAGE OR HIGH RESISTANCE TO GROUNDS MAYBE. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN HOT AND COLD WEATHER, RUNNING AC OR HEATER OR NEITHER. THERE IS NO PATTERN. PLEASE HELP.

I AM UNKNOWN...HOWEVER THERE IS RECALL FOR ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER PROBLEM FOR MY 2014 SIERRA BUT MY TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN PART OF THIS RECALL. MY TRUCK IS TOTALED!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE UNSAFE FOR NIGHTTIME DRIVING ESPECIALLY IN DARKER RURAL AREAS AND IN BAD WEATHER. THE SIDE LIGHTING FROM THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NEARLY NONEXISTENT ESPECIALLY AROUND SHARP CURVES. IN ORDER TO READ SIGNS AT NIGHT I OFTEN HAVE TO USE MY HIGHBEAMS IN ORDER TO READ THEM REGARDLESS IF THERE IS TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME OR ONCOMING. I DRIVE HOME FROM WORK NIGHTLY WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON THE ENTIRE WAS UNLESS THERE IS A CAR CLOSE IN FRONT OF ME. I'VE YET TO HAVE ONCOMING TRAFFIC FLASH THEIR LIGHTS AT ME DO TO HAVING MY HIGHBEAMS ON. I HAVE MADE THE DEALERSHIP AWARE AS WELL AS CORPORATE GM . AS OF NOW THE ONLY ACTION THEY WILL TAKE IS TO REPLACE MY OLD BULBS WITH THE SAME BULBS THEY TOOK OUT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE. ONLY A TSB WHICH I CAN'T EVEN GET MY DEALERSHIP TO FOLLOW. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS ARE UNSAFE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. HIGH BEAM ALSO DOES NOT HELP THE ILLUMINATION ISSUES. DRIVING IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT IS SCARY THE LIGHTS ARE DIM, AND DO NOT LIGHT UP SURROUNDING AREAS. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY KEPT IT FOR 3 MONTHS PUT NEW BULBS IN, AND I STILL WILL NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY WITH MY FAMILY WITH ME. SPENT 45K ON TRUCK AND CANT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT BULBS, BRANDS, LOOKED FOR SOLUTIONS, AND STILL HAVE YET TO FIND ANY HELP. *TR
