2014 GMC Sierra 1500 complaints

RADIATOR IS LEAKING FROM THE TOP WITH ONLY 67,000 MILES AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD AND WHEN U LET OFF GAS WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 55 THE RPMS GO DOWN TO IDLE THEN START BOUNCING UP 500RPMS THEN BACK DOWN. THEN EVENTUALLY WILL FIND A GEAR TO GO IN

VEHICLE RADIATOR HAS LEAK AT 86K MILES. THERE IS KNOWN ISSUE W/RADIATOR AND THERMOSTAT IN THIS TRUCK LEADING TO TSB 15829 . MY TRUCK HAS THE SAME ENGINE/DRIVE-TRAIN/COOLING SYSTEM, BUT THE YEAR OF THE TSB ONLY APPLIES TO LD MODELS. GMC WILL NOT COVER REPAIR COSTS. GMC DEALER QUOTED ME $2900 FOR REPAIR.

THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED 4-5 TIMES OVER THE LAST WEEK DRIVING BETWEEN 25-40 MPH. WHILE DRIVING, A WARNING OR NOTIFICATION POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN STATING STABILITRACK OFF OR STEERING ASSIST OFF, WHICH STIFFENS THE STEERING WHEEL AND I CAN'T TURN THE TRUCK AT ALL. AT ONE POINT, THE NOTIFICATIONS POPPED UP AND THEN MY A/C WENT OFF AND RADIO WENT OFF ALONG WITH MY ENTIRE VEHICLE. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES, PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND THEN RESTART AT WHICH POINT IT CAME BACK ON AND WORKED UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER AND ASSESS WHAT HAD OCCURRED. I ATTEMPTED TO CALL GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE (800-996-9463) AND ADVISE THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED A RECALL (#17276 - LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST), BUT IT DIDN'T APPLY TO MY VIN#. IT ONLY APPLIED TO 2014 MODELS OF BOTH CHEVROLET SILVERADO LD AND GMC SIERRA LD VEHICLES, WHEREAS MY VEHICLE IS A 2014 GMC SIERRA LTD. THEY ADVISED THAT A GMC DEALER COULD "REPROGRAM THE EPS MODULE SOFTWARE", BUT THE COST WOULD COME OUT OF MY POCKET AND THEY WOULDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE ANY FAULT OR RECALL ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS OBVIOUSLY THE FACT I HAVE KIDS AND TRANSPORT THEM TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND SPORTING EVENTS. I COULDN'T EVEN IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE INJURIES TO PASSENGERS OR THE DRIVER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND I'M SURPRISED THIS HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED OR ACKNOWLEDGED BY GMC.

SOME TIME TRAVELING BETWEEN 60-70 MPH THE TRUCK HAS A VIBRATION OR SOMETHING, BUT IF I TAP THE BREAK PEDAL IT STOPS. I'VE HAD THIS FOUR TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE. TOOK TRUCK TO THE DEALER, THEY FOUND NO CODE LISTED. JUST THIS WEEKEND AS I WAS EXITING THE INTERSTATE RAMP TO I-71 SOUTH THE TRUCK WAS SLOWING DOWN AND I HAD PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS AS IF THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS BEING APPLIED, TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE . BREAK PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PRESS. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTARTED, PEDAL WAS STILL VERY FIRM BUT AFTER PUMPING PEDAL, I HEARD THIS SOUND LIKE YOU WERE PASSING GSS YOURSELF AND THEN THE PETAL WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT CAUSE A WRECK AS MY SPEED WAS BEING REDUCED TO A SLOW SPEED HAVING TO PULL ON INTERSTATE.

MY TRUCK MEETS THE EXACT DESCRIPTION OUTLINED IN GM RECALL #17276 RESULTING FROM NHTSA ACKNOWLEDEGEMENT NEF-150SM AND 17V-414. INSTEAD OF RE-CONSTRUCTING THE DESCRIPTION MYSELF, I WILL JUST PROVIDE THE LANGUAGE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL NOTICE BECAUSE IT IS EXACTLY THE SYMPTOMS MY TRUCK EXPERIENCES. I COULDN'T DECRIBE IT BETTER IF I TRIED. FROM GM RECALL NOTIFICATION N172085440 "CONDITION: GENERAL MOTORS HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN CERTAIN 2014 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET SILVERADO LD AND GMC SIERRA LD VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE A TEMPORARY LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ASSIST FOLLOWED BY A SUDDEN RETURN OF EPS ASSIST, PARTICULARLY DURING LOW-SPEED TURNING MANEUVERS. THE LOSS AND SUDDEN RETURN OF EPS ASSIST TYPICALLY HAPPENS WITHIN A 1 SECOND PERIOD AND IS CAUSED BY AN ELECTRICAL/SOFTWARE ISSUE. IF EPS ASSIST IS LOST AND SUDDENLY RETURNED, THE DRIVER COULD LOSE TEMPORARY CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE EPS MODULE SOFTWARE."

WENT THROUGH CAR WASH THIS AFTERNOON, UPON LEAVING THE CAR WASH ATTEMPTED TO USE THE WIPERS TO CLEAN EXCESS WATER OFF WINDSHIELD. THE WIPERS FAILED TO WORK AT ALL, TRIED ALL SPEEDS AND STILL NOTHING. ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS ON THE LEVER WORK AS EXPECTED, SUCH AS WIPER FLUID, TURN SIGNALS, ECT. LUCKY I WAS NEAR HOME AND NOT FAR AWAY AND CAUGHT IN RAIN WHERE THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BECAME MUCH MORE SERIOUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED TAHT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUDDER. NO WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO YES CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 200 SATURN WAY, HURRICANE, WV, 25526, FOR AN OIL CHANGE A WEEK PRIOR TO THE FAILURE WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO ADDITIONAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. VIN NOT AVAILABLE.

BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH BAD LIFTERS. ALSO INTERIOR IS BEGINNING TO RUST. HHEADLIGHTS ARE TERRIBLE IT AKA NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE.

THE BRAKE PEDALS BECOMES VERY STIFF AT LOW SPEEDS AND DOES NOT BRAKE PROPERLY. I REAR ENDED A VEHICLE AT 15 MILES AN HOUR BECAUSE THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP.

REAR SEAT BELT IS NOT RETRACTING PROPERLY. SLACK REMAINS IN THE SEAT BELT WHEN FASTENED. OCCUPANT HAS TO MANUALLY FEED THE BELT INTO THE OPENING TO ALLOW THE BELT TO TIGHTEN, BUT ANY TIME THE OCCUPANT MOVE, CAUSING THE BELT TO EXTEND, THERE IS SLACK INTRODUCED AGAIN, THE SEAT BELT RATCHET WILL NOT RETRACT THE SLACK, AND THE BELT DOES NOT REMAIN FIRMLY IN PLACE. THIS HAPPENS IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS, PARKED OR MOVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE POWER ASSIST CEASED WHILE THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME FIRM AND WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE SERVICED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V246000 (STEERING) WHICH SHE LINKED TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND TOOK IT INTO A DEALERSHIP TO FIGURE OUT WHY (NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT). THE FRONT PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS WOULD MEAN IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT BE DEPLOYED BECAUSE THE SENSOR ISN'T ABLE TO DETECT IF THERE IS A PASSENGER THERE OR NOT.

THIS ISSUE RELATES WITH A RECENT RECALL WITH THE GM BRAKE SYSTEM (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V645000 / GM RECALL NUMBER: N192268490). THE RECALL FIX BY GM FAILS TO FULLY FIX THE PROBLEM AS ADDITIONAL REPAIRS ARE REQUIRED TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE AGAIN. THE INCIDENT BEGAN WHEN GOING DOWN A HILL AT LOW SPEED. A MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH THAT SAID "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" AND THE BRAKES SEEMED TO LOSE POWER WHICH REQUIRED THE DRIVER THE USE BOTH FEET TO PUSH DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PREVENT A CRASH INTO THE CAR IN FRONT. THE BRAKES REGAINED NORMAL FUNCTION FOR A WHILE THEN A FEW MILES LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS WENT ON FOR FOR A WHILE LONGER UNTIL THE NEED TO USE BOTH FEET TO ACHIEVE FULL STOPPING POWER WAS PERMANENT. DRIVER PULLED OVER AND, THROUGH AN INTERNET SEARCH, DISCOVERED MANY OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE WITH A LOCAL GM DEALER AND THE VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF FOR REPAIR. THE GM DEALER CALLED THE DRIVER AND INFORMED HIM THAT ADDITIONAL REPAIRS, BEYOND THE RECALL INSTRUCTIONS, WERE REQUIRED FOR THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES TO FUNCTION ADEQUATELY AND SAFELY. THIS INCLUDED REPLACING THE BOOSTER PUMP, BRAKE PADS, TO "RELINE THE FRT BRAKES AS NEEDED."

WATER LEAKED THROUGH THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT AND STAINS THE HEADLINER

THE HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION IS INADEQUATE BOTH ON LOW AND HIGH BEAMS. JUST UPGRADED FOR THE 2ND TIME THE BULBS FOR WHICH I HAVE ASCERTAINED THAT THE ILLUMINATION DOESN'T PROVIDE FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY AS WELL AS FOR THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. THIS IS NOT MERELY MY OWN OBSERVATION BUT FOR ALL THOSE WHO EITHER DRIVE OR ARE PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE PUBLIC FORUMS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM...THEY HAVEN'T FOUND ANY CORRECTIVE SOLUTION. PLEASE, I IMPLORE YOU TO REVIEW AND FIND SOME SOLUTION TO GM'S INHERENT PROBLEM. IF PEOPLE HAVEN'T BEEN INJURED AND OR MORE SERIOUSLY (KILLED), IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. I CURRENTLY HAVE 60 K MILES ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH I PURCHASED USED FROM A DEALER WITH 20K MILES. I HAVE HAD 2 INDEPENDENT GM DEALERSHIPS LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING CEASED INTERMITTENTLY, WHILE THE STABILITY TRACK CONTROL AND STEERING REDUCE POWER WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAMBE CHEVROLET BUICK 704 S HEATON ST, KNOX, IN 46534, (574)207-4109, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MODULE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V761000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SERVICE BRAKES) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V414000(STEERING) WERE REFERENCED AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WELL AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH HALOGEN BULBS. THE CONTACT UPGRADED TO LED BULBS, BUT THE ILLUMINATION DID NOT GET BRIGHTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHARLIE'S CHEVROLET (877-688-4621, LOCATED AT 1412 U S 202, WINTHROP, ME 04364) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TEST WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT UPGRADED TO HID BULBS ON HIS OWN, WHICH OFFERED BETTER LIGHTING THAN THE ORIGINAL BULBS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

OWNED TRUCK FOR ONE YEAR, BOUGHT USED AT DEALERSHIP. WITHIN 6 MONTHS, THE SERVICE STABLILITRACK MESSAGE POPPED UP WHILE ON HIGHWAY AND POWER STEERING DIMINISHED. CRUISE CONTROL WOULD TURN OFF WHEN USING THE BLINKERS TO CHANGE LANES. PUT A NEW BATTERY IN AND THINGS WORKED WELL UNTIL YESTERDAY WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE SERVICE STABILITRACK MESSAGE CAME BACK AGAIN WHEN I USED MY TURN SIGNAL TO CHANGE LANES WHILE USING THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO TURNED ITSELF OFF. WENT TO PARK AND THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN FOR ONE SECOND AND SEEMED TO REBOOT. IT DROVE FINE AFTER THAT BUT SCARED THE [XXX] OUT OF ME. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS AROUND. THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE ALSO DIMMED WHEN PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THIS TRUCK HAD IT FIXED AT THAT TIME OR NOT. THE WEBSITE TELLS ME THERE IS ONLY ONE OPEN RECALL BUT FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM NOT BRAKES. I AM CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP BUT I DOUBT THEY WILL HAVE AN ANSWER AND WILL WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR SOMETHING THAT APPEARS, ACCORDING TO THIS SITE AND OTHERS, TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE MODEL. *DL PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITHOUT WARNING.

AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUDDER WHEN REVERSING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TO BE SERVICED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 408.

WHEN TRUCK IS AT LOW RPM (USUALLY TURNING INTO PARKING SPOT SLOWLY) TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF. ITS PULLING TO MUCH POWER FROM CPU OR ALTERNATOR AND KILLING TRUCK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE TRAVELING TO DENVER COLORADO, MY POWER STEERING SHUT OFF AT RANDOM ON THE INTERSTATE. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF, AND IT CAME BACK ON. A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING IN THE SNOW, IT WENT OUT PERMANENTLY AND I WAS STRANDED UNTIL A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. IT TOOK 3 DAYS TO GET MY TRUCK FIXED, AND THE WHOLE STEERING SYSTEM, RACK AND PINION, HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT COST ME OVER $2,500 TO FIX AND GET BACK HOME SAFELY. I WAS TRAVELING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AT 75MPH ON I-70 WEST WHEN THE STEERING WENT OUT THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND IT WENT OUT AND NEARLY CAUSED A WRECK.

THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER THE TRUCK HAD AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIPTECHNICIAN CHECKED AND FOUND OIL PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE SOLENOID CIRCUIT OPEN TECHNICIAN SCAN FOR CODES AND DC TCPO6 DA IS SNAP TECHNICIAN PERFORMED SYSTEM TEST AND MEASURE THE RESISTANT OF THE OIL PRESSURE CONTROLS SOLENOID AT X15 FOR THE SOLENOID AND THE INTERNAL HARNESS READ OPEN TECHNICIAN REMOVED THE OIL PAN AND FOUND THE SOLENOID CONNECTION HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED WHICH WAS NOT PROPERLY ASSEMBLED AT THE MANUFACTURE AND TECHNICIAN ALSO DISCOVERED TRANSMISSION LINES LEAKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE SERVICE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,900.

HAD THE HEATED SEATS TURNED ON ONE DAY, ALL OF A SUDED FELT A REALLY HOT SENSATION ON MY LOWER BACK. I TURNED THEM OFF THOUGHT IT WAS JUST GETT TO HOT. GOT IN THE TRUCK A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER. THE HEATED SEAT ELEMENT BURNED A HOLE RIGHT THRU THE LEATHER, EVEN MELTED A SPOT ON MY SWEATER. DEALER SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE ONLY $800 FOR NEW COVERS AND HEAT ELEMENTS. MY BROTHER HAS A SILVERRODO SAME YEAR, HIS HEATED SEATS STOPED WORKING ALL READY ALSO.

DURING NORMAL DRIVING IN TOWN AND ON HIGHWAY, STABILLITRAK DEACTIVATES, POWER STEERING ASSIST DEACTIVATES AND THE STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT, AIRBAGS DEACTIVATE, TURN SIGNALS BECOME INOPERABLE, RADIO SHUTS OFF, AIR CONDITIONING SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHILE AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT SLOW SPEEDS. IT IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING SLOW TURNS AS THE POWER STEERING GIVES OUT AND THE TRUCK INSTANTLY BECOMES NEARLY UNCONTROLLABLE (UNCONTROLLABLE FOR MY WIFE) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG AND THE BEST THEY COULD DO WAS PERFORM A SERVICE BULLETIN. ISSUE WAS NOT CORRECTED. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A NEW BULLETIN THAT HAD A FIX FOR THE G218 GROUND. I CUT BACK THE SOUND DEADENING FROM THE GROUND, YET THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE EITHER. THE TRUCK HAS DONE THIS DOZENS OF TIMES AND IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HOW CAN LOSING STEERING, AIRBAGS, STABILITY CONTROL, TURN SIGNALS, ETC. NOT BE A SAFETY CONCERN?

AC PROBLEM - MY AC JUST WENT OUT FOR THE THIRD TIME SINCE I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW IN 2013. I WENT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND WAS QUOTED ~$1,000 FOR A NEW AC CONDENSER. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A VERY COMMON AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM THAT GM HASN'T RESOLVED.

INTERMITTENT STALLING, ( COMPLETE SHUT DOWN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS). NO ENGINE, NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, WINDOWS WILL NOT OPERATE, NO EMERGENCY FLASHERS, NO DASH RE-OUT, WILL NOT TURN OVER. HAPPENS AT ANY TIME WHILE IN MOTION. HAS PLACED MYSELF, MY WIFE & OTHER DRIVERS IN DANGER NUMEROUS TIMES.

ABOUT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LATER IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN OFF AND ON. I DIDNT WANT TO DEAL WITH THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS SAY "IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY" ALTHOUGH IT ONLY GOT WORSE. I ENDED UP TAKING IT BACK TO THE DELEARSHIP RECENTLY BECAUSE IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE MY TRUCK WAS SHUTTING OFF ON ME EVERY DAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN! THE DEALERSHIP AFTER OVER ONE WEEK FINALLY FOUND THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL HARNESS ISSUE, SENDING THE WRONG SIGNALS CAUSING MY TRUCK TO ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF. THEY ARE CHARGING ME OVER $900. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL! HOW IN THE WORLD IS THIS NOT COVERED THROUGH GMC! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A GMC VEHICLE AGAIN.
