THE FACTORY SUPPLIED RUNNING BOARDS HAVE TREADS THAT FAIL TO PROVIDE ANY TRACTION FOR FEET WHILE ENTERING OR EXITING. THE TREADS NEED TO BE ROTATED 90 DEGREES AND MADE OF A SOFTER RUBBER WITH A DEEPER AND MORE AGGRESSIVE TREAD PATTERN. AS THEY EXIST THEY ARE VERY SLIPPERY ESPECIALLY WHEN WET OR FROZEN. GIVEN THE ADDED HEIGHT OF TRUCKS IT REQUIRES SOME USE OF THE RUNNING BOARDS TO ENTER/EXIT THE TRUCK. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE 68. AS DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED THEY ARE ACTUALLY AN ACCELERANT IN SLIPPING FEET. I FEEL THEY ARE OF DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE AND COULD/SHOULD BE MADE SAFER. I FELL THREE TIMES IN THE PAST MONTHS WHILE EXITING MY SIERRA 1500.

REGARDING 2014 GMC SIERRA 6 CYLINDER FULL SIZE PICKUP. VEHICLE VIBRATES AS IF RUNNING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS AT APX 1500 RPM. LOCAL GM SERVICE CENTER AND GM CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE STATED ABOVE IS NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION. LOCAL GM SERVICE CENTER CORRECTLY SUGGESTED THAT TRUCK BE DRIVEN FASTER OR SLOWER TO PREVENT VIBRATION OR THAT VEHICLE BE DRIVEN IN 5TH GEAR RATHER THAN OVERDRIVE 6TH GEAR TO PREVENT VIBRATION. IF VEHICLE IS NOR DRIVEN FASTER OR SLOWER TO GET OUT OF VIBRATION RANGE, THE TRUCK WILL VIBRATE ENDLESSLY. 2014 GMC SIERRA IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. NEEDING TO SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN TO PREVENT VIBRATION SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES RISK FOR MVA. NEEDING TO DRIVE IN 5TH GEAR RATHER THAN 6TH GEAR REDUCES GAS MILEAGE AS REPORTED TO NHSTA. LOCAL MECHANICS HAVE COMMENTED THAT THE ABOVE VIBRATION COMPLAINT IS COMMON TO 2014 6 CYLINDER GMC/CHEVY FULL SIZE PICKUP TRUCKS AND THAT THE VIBRATION MAY BE SECONDARY TO CYLINDER DEACTIVATION AND CHASSIS RIGIDITY. IT CERTAINLY WOUND BE A SHAME FOR A COLLISION TO OCCUR OR FOR A PEDESTRIAN TO GET RUN OVER BY A DRIVER OF A 2014 GMC/CHEVY FULL SIZE PICKUP WHO HAD TO SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN TO REDUCE EXCESSIVE VIBRATION AT APX 1500 RPM

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS TRUCK PROVIDE INADEQUATE LIGHTING, INCLUDING BOTH LOW BEAMS AND HIGH BEAMS. ANY NIGHT DRIVING IS DIFFICULT DUE TO LIMITED VISIBILITY, THERE SIMPLY IS NOT ENOUGH ILLUMINATION TO SEE. CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS - ESPECIALLY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35 MPH OR DURING PRECIPITATION. THE HEADLIGHT HAS A SEVERE DESIGN FLAW WITH GMS SAYS IS A SHUTTER SYSTEM. THIS TYPE OF DESIGN DOES NOT LEAVE ANY OPTIONS FOR SIMPLY CHANGING THE TYPE OF BULB - THE DESIGN IS ACTUALLY AT FAULT FOR THE POOR VISIBILITY. THE VISIBILITY PROBLEMS SIMPLY CANNOT BE FIXED WITH A DIFFERENT BULB TYPE DUE TO THE SHUTTER DESIGN TYPE. THE NEED FROM A NEW HEADLIGHT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. MANY COMPLAINTS ARE BEING REGISTERED ONLINE RELATED TO THE VISIBILITY PROBLEM. THESE TRUCKS ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. IF THERE IS A STANDARD FOR MINIMUM HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING, THIS MODEL HEADLIGHT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED IF IT IS MEETING THE MINIMUM STANDARD. NOT SAFE, A DEFINITE PROBLEM THAT NEEDS ATTENTION.

DRIVING AT NIGHT IS VERY STRESSFULL AND EYE STRAINING TO THE POINT OF TAKING HEADACHE MEDICATIONS ONCE YOU ARE DONE DRIVING. ANY WAYT TO FIX THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM? THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVERS AND ANY OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED ASAP. AND GM STILL SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. SO WHY ARE THEY CHANGING THE DESING ON THE 2016'S TRUCKS

THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE ARE VERY DIM. THEY HAVE A PROJECTOR LIGHT IN THEM AND ONLY HAVE ONE BULB, THEY PROJECTOR MOVES WHEN SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN BRIGHT AND DIMS. THE PROBLEM IS THERE'S ONE LITTLE YELLOW CIRCLE OUT IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK ABOUT 30 FEET, THE BRIGHTS DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, AND THERE IS NO LIGHTING TO THE SIDES OF THE TRUCK. THERE IS NO LIGHT ON THE CURB AND MAKING A TURN IS NOT ONLY DIFFICULT BUT ALSO UNSAFE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN 3 TIMES TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO HELP. I READ ONLINE THAT THERE IS AN UPDATE THAT SENDS MORE VOLTAGE TO THE HEADLIGHTS BUT THEY ALSO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THAT. THE LAST TIME THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T EVEN ALIGN THE LIGHTS BECAUSE I HAD PUT AFTERMARKET BULBS IN JUST TO BE ABLE TO SEE. THE FOG LIGHTS ARE TWICE AS BRIGHT AS THE HEADLIGHT, I'VE TOLD THEM THAT, CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER, TOLD THEM THAT, AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE. I SEE ONLINE THAT IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. ALSO THE ONES LIKE MINE WITH THE VIBRATING SAFETY SEAT GET LOOSE, ALSO A COMMON COMPLAINT, AND THEY WON'T COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL.

Official recalls
11Oct 30, 2015
General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Chevrolet Silverado HD, Chevrolet Express, and GMC Sierra HD vehicles, and model year 2013 GMC Savana compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles that fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 303 "Fuel System Integrity of Compressed Natural Gas Vehicles." In the affected vehicles, the text of the CNG fuel-only label is smaller than the required size, and as a result, may be less noticeable.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Text that does not conform to the required labeling size could inhibit fuel tank inspection practices and safe refueling, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy: GM will notify owners and will send them a replacement label, free of charge. The recall began December 3, 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 13365.

In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition lock housing, free of charge. The recall began on November 20, 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 15573.

In the affected vehicles, the chassis electronic module may be internally contaminated, resulting in an electrical short.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the module experiences an electrical short, the vehicle could stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the chassis electronic module, free of charge. The recall began on December 26, 2014.

Due to an incomplete weld on the seat hook bracket assembly, the front seats in the affected vehicles may not stay secured in place during a high load condition such as a crash.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A seat that does not stay secured increases the risk of occupant injury in a vehicle crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat hook bracket assembly weld and replace the lower seat track, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2014. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), and 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14340.
Jun 27, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra vehicles, and model year 2015 GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe vehicles. In the affected vehicles, an electrical signal short may cause the transfer case to shift to neutral without the driver's input.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the transfer case switches to neutral while the vehicle is parked and the parking brake is not in use, the vehicle may roll away increasing the risk of injury to bystanders. If the transfer case switches to neutral while the vehicle is being driven, the vehicle would lose drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will re-program the software in the transfer case control module, free of charge. The recall began in early August 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14192.

The affected vehicles built with the vinyl flooring option do not have the retention features necessary to properly secure the floor mat on the driver's side.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: The floor mat could shift such that it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, preventing its return to an idle position, which could result in unintended vehicle speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and reimburse the owner for the purchase price upon their return.

Jun 6, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, and 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban vehicles equipped with a base radio and an internal amplifier. The radios in the affected vehicles may become inoperative, and as a result, there would be no audible chime to notify the driver if the door is opened with the key in the ignition or no audible seat belt warning indicating the seat belts were not buckled. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention," and 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Without an audible indicator, the driver may not be aware that the driver's door is open while the key is in the ignition, increasing the risk of a vehicle rollaway. Additionally, there would be no reminder that the driver's or front seat passenger's seat belt is not buckled, which could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the radio software, free of charge. The recall began on July 2, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact GM's customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GMC owners may contact GM's customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 14315.

In the affected vehicles, either of the front seatbacks may have play. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 202a, "Head Restraints."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the vehicle is struck from behind, the head restraint may not properly protect occupants, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM has notified owners. Dealers will inspect the seatback recliner mechanisms and make adjustments, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on October 23, 2013. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 and GMC at 1-800-462-8782. GM's recall number is 13323.
