2014 GMC Sierra 1500 complaints

I CAME UP TO AN INTERSECTION, PRESSED MY BRAKES, AND THEY WERE HARD TO PRESS CAUSING ME TO RUN THE RED LIGHT AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. EVEN IF A PART FAILS, THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN OUTCOME. BRAKE PETAL SO HARD YOU CAN'T GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED.

DURING NORMAL DRIVING IN TOWN AND ON HIGHWAY, STABILLITRAK DEACTIVATED AND POWER STEERING ASSIST DEACTIVATED FLASHES ON DASH. THE AIR CONDITIONER AND RADIO FLASH OFF. LOSE POWER STEERING. THE WHOLE TRUCK SHUT OFF ALSO ONCE WHILE REVERSING, WENT FROM PARK TO REVERSE AND SHUT OFF. THIS HAD BEEN VERY DANGEROUS, AS IT HAPPENED ALSO WHILE GOING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY.

VEHICLE HAS 39000 MILES AND RACK AND PINION BUSHINGS'S ARE COMPLETELY OUT

SLOWING DOWN TO PARK ON A STREET AND LOST STEERING AND LIGHTS FLICKERING, I JUST HAD RECALL REPROGRAMMED &SERVICED 60 DAYS AGO, DRIVER ASSIST SERVICE LIGHTS ALSO ON AND PARKING.I NEARLY CRASHED TWICE SO FAR I NEED MY VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORTATION AND WOULD LIKE HELP WITH THIS IMMEDIATELY ,FOR IT IS A PRICEY LUXURIOUS VEHICLE.

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND IT LOOSES ALL POWER RANDOMLY WHEN TURNING , IT IS NOOW STARTED TO SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC WHEN LIGHTLY TAPPING THE BRAKES..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE SERVICE STABILITRAC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, THE DOOR LOCKS ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY, AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY TURNED OFF AND ON WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,124.

AIR CONDENSER FAILURE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR SUBURBANS, YUKONS AND TAHOES FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND SAME PARTS, HOWEVER NOT FOR THE SILVERADO AND SIERRAS OF THE SAME YEAR. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL OR WARRANTY FROM GM/CHEVY. THERE ARE MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ACROSS THE US REGARDING THIS TOPIC ALONE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE THIS TYPE OF FAILURE ON A 4.5 YEAR OLD TRUCK, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ORIGINAL COST OF THE TRUCK IS $50,000.

I'VE ALWAYS LIKED YOUR GMC TRUCKS BUT MOSTLY BEEN A FORD OWNER SO THIS DECEMBER I BOUGHT A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 WITH 98,000 MILES... REALLY LOVE THE TRUCK BUT THEN START BY HAVING PROBLEMS.. FIRST MY PASSENGER WINDOW WOULDN'T ROLL DOWN ALL THE WAY ..GOT THAT FIXED..THEN MY REAR DRIVERS DOOR LOCK DON'T WORK..AND THE BIG ONE MY AC CONDENSER HAS A LEAK ($1500 FIX)WHICH SUPPOSEDLY IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE..WHICH I'M JUST SO DISSATISFIED..I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATED TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS FIX FOR FREE!!! FOR I AM REGRETTING GOING GMC.

BREAKS DO NOT WORK AT LOW SPEED IN REVERSE, BREAK PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND EXCESSIVE PRESSURE MUST BE APPLIED IN ORDER TO STOP VEHICLE, THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE DUE TO LOW VISIBILITY WHEN BACKING THE VEHICLE.

BRAKES SUDDENLY LOCK AND THE PEDDLE TO BREAK GETS REALLY STIFF THAT WHEN IM TRYING TO BRAKE IT DOES NOT WORK... I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN TO ME TWICE ALREADY , I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE,, I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND WHEN I WAS ARRIVING TO THE HOTEL MY BRAKE PEDDLE LOCKED AND COULD NOT BRAKE THE PARKING CONCRETE STOPPER PREVENTED ME FROM HITTING THR BUILDING , I NOTICED THAT WHEN I SHUT OFF THT TRUCK AND TURN IT BACK ON THRY WORK NORMAL AGAIN AND I AM ABLE TO BRAKE JUST FINE THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY , I CAN BE ON MY NORMAL ROUTINE FOR A MONTH THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE PEDDLE GETS STUCK,, IT LOOKS LIKE ITS A SOFTWARE GLITCH LIKE THE STABILITY TRACK TURNING ON WHEN ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO , OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THESE ISSUES WITH THESE TRUCKS, PLEASE INVESTIGATE..

LOST OF POWER STEERING

DRIVING VEHICLE AT A LOW SPEED INTO A PARKING LOT, WHEN SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. NO POWER WHATSOEVER, UNABLE TO PUT ON HAZARD LIGHTS. DISCONNECTED BATTERY NEUTRAL AND HOT FOR ABOUT 10-15 MIN. RECONNECTED AND IT STARTED BACK UP. THERE WAS A DASHBOARD MESSAGE TO ROLL DRIVING WINDOW UP AND DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST, BUT ONLY WHEN STARTING, NEVER WHILE IN DRIVE AND IN FORWARD MOTION! IN THE PAST I HAD IT DIAGNOSED FOR THE NO CRANK NO START AND FOR $400 I UPDATED THE BCM. TYPICALLY, WITH NO CRANK NO START, I WOULD DISCONNECT BATTERY NEUTRAL FOR 10 MINUTES, RECONNECT AND START UP SLOWLY, IE: TURN IGNITION TO ON, WAIT 1 MIN THEN CRANK IT TO START. I HAVE ACCEPTED THE OCCASIONAL NO CRANK NO START, BUT THE IDEA THAT THIS HAPPENED IN DRIVE IS UNACCEPTABLE AND INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS!

STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH BRAKES, PEDAL IS GETTING HARD AT LOW SPEEDS. DONT HAVE TROUBLE UNTIL IN AT RED LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. NO CHECK ENGINE SEEMS TO COME UP YET.

BRAKING AT SHORT DISTANCES. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MOVE AFTER BRAKE IS DEPRESSED.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT HARD TO STEER. VERY DANGEROUS IT HAPPENS OUT OF NOWHERE.

WHEN TRUCK IS PUT IN REVERSE, ALL POWER BRAKES ARE LOST. ASSUMPTION IS A FAULT VACUUM PUMP

TAKATA RECALL, PARKING ASSIST SENSORS QUIT WORKING. ABS LIGHTS STAY ON WITH THE ALERT "SERVICE STABILITRAK". MANUFACTURE FAULTY ELECTRICAL GROUND IS POSSIBLY THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK IS NOT EVEN 5 YEARS OLD YET. THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN A LOT OF REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE BY OTHER OWNERS. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE COLLISIONS WHEN DEPENDING ON THIS FEATURE TO WORK.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN COMPLETE POWER STEERING FAILURE OCCURRED. IT WAS RAINING AT THE TIME, AND THIS TOOK PLACE APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A SHALLOW PUDDLE IN MY LANE WITH THE DRIVER SIDE TIRES. VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER, EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I AM A FIT MALE WITH STRONG ARMS AND IT WAS ALMOST MORE STEERING RESISTANCE THAN I COULD MANAGE. HAD THIS OCCURRED WHILE TURNING, I DOUBT I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE. EVEN WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE, IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO A PERSON WITH VERY MUCH LESS UPPER BODY STRENGTH, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN REAL TROUBLE, AS THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE SAFELY OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THE SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A FAILED ELECTRIC POWERED RACK AND PINION (STEERING GEAR). THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS NOT RELATED TO THE PREVIOUSLY ISSUED RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING, AND THAT IT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE APPARENTLY SHORTED OUT STEERING GEAR.

AT SLOW SPEEDS AND BRAKE PEDAL REQUIRES IMMENSE FORCE (~200LBS) TO PRESS AND ENGAGE BRAKES. SIGNIFICANT GRINDING CAN BE FELT IN THE PEDAL. THIS OFTEN REQUIRES EMERGENCY BRAKE USAGE TO STOP. CONDITION IS INTERMITTENT. OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS IN REVERSE OCCASIONALLY FORWARD WITH WHEEL TURNED OR WITHOUT.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOP WORKING, THE HEAD LIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON AND THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THE RAIN GETS HARDER AND TURNED THE WIPERS BACK OFF THE HEADLIGHT INDICATOR GOES OFF, TRY TURNING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BACK ON AND NOTHING. SO WHEN ON AN INTERSTATE IN RAIN WITH SEMI TRUCKS AROUND YOU OR JUST FOLLOWING ANOTHER VEHICLE, IF IT IS RACING OR POURING OR WHATEVER THE WEATHER, YOU NEED THE WIPERS TO WORK, THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM, I HAVE SEARCHED ON LINE ISSUES OF THIS AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT FROM BRAND NEW AND STILL ON GOING. RECALLS WERE ONLY POSTED FOR 2 MODELS OF VEHICLES BUT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE PICKUPS AS WELL. THE WIPERS ARE A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF A SAFE RIDE AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. THE PRICE WE PAY FOR VEHICLES THEY SHOULD BE SAFELY EQUIPPED FOR THIS PRICE.

WHILE BACKING SLOWLY ON A BOAT LAUNCH RAMP, PETAL WAS DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY AND THE TOW VEHICLE DID NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY. FELT AS THOUGH THE PETAL WAS TO THE FLOOR, VEHICLE ROLLED UP TO SEVERAL FEET BEFORE STOPPING. TOWING ROUGHLY 6800 LB. WHICH IS WITHIN SPECIFICATION LIMIT FOR THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE.

THE GMC SIERRA TRUCK WILL LOOSE POWER STEERING WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES SO FAR. THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ERROR WITH THE TRAILER BRAKE. THEN, NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND THE TRUCK LOOSES POWER STEERING. IT IS DANGEROUS AND DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT THAT POINT. IT IS RANDOM. THE TRUCK WILL CONNECT AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WILL FUNCTION LIKE NORMAL. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS COMMUNICATION ERRORS. THE FUSE BLOCK WAS REPLACED FOR ALMOST 600 DOLLARS. THEN, THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING AGAIN AFTER THAT REPAIR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THEIR SHOP FOR 8 DAYS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET THE ERROR SO NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM CORP ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE SENIOR ADVISOR ASSIGNED TO MY CASE HAS NOT EVER CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY ADVISED THAT SOMEONE WITH GM WOULD CONTACT ME IN 2 DAYS. IT HAS BEEN OVER 8 DAYS. PICKING THE VEHICLE BACK UP FROM THE DEALER. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I FEEL THAT THE GM ENGINEERS HAVE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THESE ISSUES BUT NO ONE WILL EVEN CALL ME BACK. THERE IS SOME ELECTRICAL GLITCH THAT CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE ITS POWER STEERING. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT 690,000 TRUCKS WERE RECALLED IN 2017 IN REFERENCE TO RECALL # 17276 . THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT MY TRUCK RECEIVED THE NECESSARY ITEMS FOR THAT IN 2017. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I CURRENTLY HAVE A TRUCK THAT IS NOT SAFE AND GM DOESN'T SEEM TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT IT. IT IS A S

MY ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING HAS GIVEN OUT. I CANT STEER WHATSOEVER. IT IS ON RECALL. WE FO HAVE A LOCAL SHOP BUT IT IS NOT A GM SHOP. WE DID TRY WORKING WITH GM AND ALSO THE SELLER-AK SALES AND SERVICE TO TRY GET IT FIXED. THEY WILL NOT HELP ME WHATSOEVER. I LOVE IN THE BUSH WHICH MEANS WE HAVE LIMITED ACCESS. IF I WANTED TO GET THIS FIXED I'D HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET OVER I GRAND TO GET MY VEHICLE BARGED TO AMCHORAGE, AK. WHICH I DONT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I STILL OWE OVER 11 GRAND ON MY TRUCK. I'M SOL AS TO WHAT TO DO.

BRAKE PEDAL RANDOMLY REQUIRES SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER PRESSURE TO SLOW/STOP THE VEHICLE, PARTICULARLY AT SLOW SPEEDS. HAS HAPPENED 2-3 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR AND THIS WEEK IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY; EVEN DAILY.

I HAVE A LEAK IN THE A/C CONDENSER. THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUE. THERE ARE STORIES WRITTEN ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS SO WIDE SPREAD. AT ONE POINT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER, THAT IS HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD ISSUES. JUST CONTACTED GM AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THEY DO NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. YET ON THE FRONT PAGE OF EVEN YOUR WEBSITE, THERE IS AN ARTICLE ABOUT DEATH'S FROM HEAT RISING. SO A DEFECTIVE A/C SYSTEM SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME- HERE ARE THE MANY STORIES WRITTEN ON THE ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.NBCCHICAGO.COM/NEWS/LOCAL/GM-AIR-CONDITIONING-RESPONDS-439572983.HTML HTTPS://CHEVROLETFORUM.COM/FORUM/2014-2018-GMT-K2-110/2014-SILVERADO-AC-PROBLEMS-ALREADY-67170/PAGE8/ HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NEWS/2018/GM-AC-COMPRESSOR-CONDENSER-PROBLEMS-LAWSUIT.SHTML HTTPS://WWW.TORQUENEWS.COM/3768/OWNERS-2014-CHEVROLET-SILVERADOS-WANT-FEDERAL-TRADE-COMMISSION-FORCE-RECALL-THEIR-AIR-CONDITIONING-PROBLEMS HTTP://WWW.RADIATORHELPLINE.COM/2017/06/2014-2017-CHEVY-GM-CONDENSER-WIDESPREAD-FAILURE.HTML HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERCLASSLAWYERSBLOG.COM/BUNCH-HOT-AIR-AC-GMC-CHEVY-TRUCKS-SIMPLY-NOT-WORK/

LOSS OF BRAKES AT LOW SPEED, FORWARD AND REVERSE. BRAKE PEDAL GETS STIFF AND BRAKES BARELY STOP THE TRUCK.

ALL HAPPENED SAME DAY. WAS 8 HOURS FROM HOME AND PULLING INTO PARKING SPOT AND THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR 3 TIMES. HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE. BUT WHEN THAT HAPPENED THE AIR STARTED BLOWING WARM AND THE SERVICE DRIVER ASSIST CAME ON BRIEFLY. STILL AIR IS BLOWING WARM AND THE SERVICE DRIVER ASSIST COMES ON. HAVE NEVER HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. I AM HAVING IT CHECKED OUT THIS WEEK.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND FAILS TO TURN AND CAN SOMETIMES BE PULLED RIGHT OUT OF YOUR HANDS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN. WHEN THIS OCCURS WHILE NEGOTIATING A TURN IT CAUSES THE VHEICLE TO FAIL THE TURN, TURN VERY WIDELY AND FORCES THE VHEILCE INTO THE ONCOMING LANE. THIS VEHICLE APPARENTLY HAS A RECALL ON PART OF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST, BUT THE POWER STEERING RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND GMC WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALL ONE UNIT.

TWO DIFFERENT TIMES BEING AT LOW SPEED ALMOST A ROLL. WENT TO APPLY BRAKES AND TRUCK BARLEY STOPPED. HARD BRAKE PEDAL, BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. ONCE ON A HIGHWAY IN EXTREME HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A DOWN HILL. SECOND TIME ROLLING MAKING A TURN TO PARK IN A PARKING LOT AND ALMOST STRUCK POLICE CAR AND A GAS PUMP.

AT LOW SPEEDS BRAKING IS VERY HARD CAN BARELY PUSH IN THE BRAKES. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. TRUCK HAS 69,000 MILES. AT THE BRAKE PLACE THEY SAID I HAD A BAD VACUUM FOR THE BRAKES AND IS VERY COMMON IN THIS TRUCK

THE DOOR LOCKS DONT ALWAYS LOCK. MY GRANDSON WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND FELL ASLEEP, WHILE ASLEEP HE BUMPED THE DOOR HANDLE AND THE DOOR OPENED WHILE WE WERE GOING 50 MPH., LUCKY HE HAD THE SEAT BELT ON. THE DOOR SHOULD NOT HAVE OPENED AS THE LOCK SHOULD HAVE ENGAGED WHEN THE TRUCK IS PUT IN GEAR AND MADE THE DOOR HANDLE INOPERABLE. THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS THE PROBLEM, THIS WILL BE THE SECOND ONE REPLACED. YOU DONT KNOW THEY DONT WORK BECAUSE THEY MAKE A LOCKING SOUND WHEN ACTIVATED. THEY JUST DONT LOCK, VERY DANGEROUS GLAD HE DIDNT FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO DECELERATE AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000. *BF PURCHASED DATE 08/03/2015 *TP RECEIVED MONEY BACK AND OPENED ANOTHER CASE *TP CASE NO. 9-5610299860. *TP

I LOST THE USE OF MY BRAKES AT LOW SPEED TODAY, THE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY HARD AND NEEDED INCREASED EFFORT TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, TOOK TO A GMC DEALER THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY ARE RETURNING MY VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY REPAIRS.

BRAKES HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING AT SLOW SPEEDS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW YEARS. BROUGHT IT TO A BRAKE SPECIALIST WHO COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. RESEARCHED IT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A SIMILAR ISSUE. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A FAULTY VACUUM PUMP. BROUGHT IT TO GMC BEAMAN IN NASHVILLE, TN AND SAW [XXX] (SERVICE ADVISOR FOR BEAMAN AUTOMOTIVE). THEY REPORTED THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD BE CLOSE TO $1000 TO FIX IT. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE AFTER DOING RESEARCH AND FINDING THAT GMC'S PARTS (NOT WEAR AND TEAR) ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THE ETIOLOGY OF THE PROBLEM. I ASK THAT THE DEALERSHIP BE CONTACTED REGARDING THIS GIVEN THE OBVIOUS SAFETY RISK OF THE LARGE VEHICLE NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP. REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT *TR

I HAVE NOTICED AN ISSUE FOR A FEW YEARS WHILE PARKING THAT MY BRAKES WOULD LOCK UP IF USED REPEATEDLY. WHILE GETTING SERVICE DONE I HAD ASKED IF THEY NOTICED ANYTHING AND THEY HAD SAID NO. THEY HAVE KNOW RECOGNIZED IT IS A PROBLEM BUT ARE LIMITING THE FIX TO 72000 MILES WHICH I AM 3K OVER. THEY SAID I HAVE NEVER FORMALLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SO I DISQUALIFY FOR THE $ 540.00 REPAIR. YET THEY RECOGNIZE IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID A FORMAL RECALL.

BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY STIFF AND UNRESPONSIVE AT LOW SPEED. ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. HAD TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP. ONLINE FORUMS SAY BRAKE VACUUM PUMP.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IS LOSING POWER IN THE STEERING WHEEL, PROMPTING THE STABILITRAC WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, WHILE TURNING AND WHILE GOING IN REVERSE

BRAKE PEDAL GOT HARD , THE DASH CENTER GAVE NO WARNING AND STILL HAS NO FAULT LIGHT OR ANY BRAKE WARNINGS LIGHTS. WE WHERE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET ,WHEN THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING, DRIVING THROUGH A RED LIGHT BECAUSE WE COULDN'T STOP THE VEHICLE AND POPPED THE STREET CURB, INTO AN EMPTY PROPERTY LOT

THE SEATBELTS IN THE REAR SEATS DO NOT FIT CHILDREN PROPERLY. MY SON IS CURRENTLY THE AGE OF 9 AND IS APPROXIMATELY 100 LBS. SO HE NO LONGER CAN USE A BOOSTER SEAT, HOWEVER THE SEATBELT IS STILL NOT PLACED ACCROSS HIS CHEST APPROPRIATELY WHEN RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. WITH RECOMMENDATIONS TO HAVE CHILDREN RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT,A S IT IS SAFER FOR THEM, IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A SLIDING SEATBELT RETRACTOR LIKE THE FRONT SEATS PASSENGER AND DRIVER. I AM HOPEFUL THAT WHEN MANUFACTURERING AN Y NEW MODELS THIS COULD BE ACHIEVED TO MAKE OUR CHILDREN SAFER AS A PASSENGER IN A MOTOR VEHICLE.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, EACH AT THE END OF A TWO HOUR DRIVE, I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND LOST ALL POWER TO MY BRAKES. THEY DID NOT DEPRESS TO THE FLOOR, THEY SEEMED TO ALMOST PUSH BACK. AT THAT POINT I PUSHED HARDER AND THE BRAKE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. IN BOTH INSTANCES I ALMOST HIT THE PARKED CARS NEXT TO ME. DUE TO NOT HAVING PROPER BRAKING I HAD TO BACK UP AND PULL BACK IN, BRAKES CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THING. AFTER COMING BACK TO MY TRUCK IN BOTH INSTANCES, ONCE AFTER A WEEK AT THE AIRPORT AND ANOTHER AFTER A FOUR HOUR APPOINTMENT, MY BRAKES WORKED FINE. THIS HAPPENED ON JULY 16, 2018 AND APRIL 11, 2019.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. DURING THE FAILURE, THE BRAKE, ABS, POWER STEERING, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TROY ALLEN BUICK(358 BUTLER RD, KITTANNING, PA) WHERE THE POWER STEERING MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

HARD BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW SPEEDS. FORWARD OR REVERSE

THE BRAKES ON MY TRUCK FAILED AND I HIT MY BRICK MAILBOX. I TOOK IT TO A SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID THE VACUUM PUMP WAS NOT PRODUCING ENOUGH PRESSURE AT LOW RPMS.

WAS DRIVING THROUGH DUNKIN DONUTS DRIVE THRU WHEN LOST MY BRAKES. HAD TO PRESS THE BREAK PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ROLL AFTER DOING SO ALMOST HITTING CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THEN SOUNDED LIKE ABS PUMP KICKED KN. THEN EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 10-15 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. BECK & MASTEN BUICK GMC NORTH (11300 FM 1960 W, HOUSTON, TX 77065) STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OPEN RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

BRAKES WILL JUST LOCK UP AND HAS ALREADY CAUSE ME A COUPLE OF WREAKS, GM SHOULD REALLY FIX THIS BRAKE ISSUE..IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SURE AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.. GM SEEMS TO HAVE GONE TO FOR CRAPPY WORKMANSHIP AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!

SERVICE POWER STEERING CAME ON IN DASH I COULD NOT STEER THE TRUCK.

VACUUM PUMP ON BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL IN A CANYON. COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE IF WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE NOT GOOD.

PAINT IS CHIPPING VERY BAD UNDERNEATH TIRE WELLS AND NEAR BOTTOM OF DOORS. PAINT LOOKS VERY THIN AND THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS DOCUMENTED ONLINE
