AFTER USING THE 4WD THE FIRST TIME THE MPG DROPPED OFF TO ABOUT 17 AND HAS BEEN DECLINING STEADILY CURRENTLY I GET 14 TO 15 MPG AND DRIVE 150 MILES PER DAY MOSTLY HIGHWAY. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE THEY SAID THE COMPUTER COULDN'T GET USED TO MY DRIVING STYLE AND REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK ABOUT THE MILEAGE A GUY CAME OUT AND SAID HE COULD TELL IF SOMETHING WAS STUCK AND SWITCHED THE 4WD A FEW TIME AND SAID IT WAS FINE. MY MPG IS GETTING WORSE AND IT SLAMS IN AND OUT OF GEAR 2-3 TIMES IN A MATTER OF SECONDS WHILE SUSTAINING A STEADY HIGHWAY SPEED ON A FLAT SURFACE. *TR

THE HEADLAMPS ARE TOTALLY INADEQUATE FOR NIGHT DRIVING THUS PRODUCING A VERY SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE . THERE IS ZERO LIGHTING ON BOTH SIDES ON LOW BEAM AND VERY POOR DOWN ROAD VISION ON HIGHBEAM. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE AND THEY ARE ALL WITH THE SAME ISSUES. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE CHEAP ONE BULB LENS SYSTEM WITH A SHUTTER ON THE LENS. HAVE COMPLAINED TO DEALER WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS A PROBLEM AND TO GM WHO REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM . GM RESPONSE TO ME WAS THE LAMPS WORK AS DESIGNED AND I RESPONDED THAT IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM, THE DESIGN WHICH PRODUCES VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. *TR

MY VEHICLE STARTED WITH A VIBRATION ON OR AROUND 12,000 MILES. THE VIBRATION SLOWLY INCREASED AS TIME WENT ON. I MADE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.(CAPITALAND MOTORS) AT THIS TIME THE VIBRATION WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO VIBRATE THE BACK WINDOW. IT WOULD START AT 30MPH AND GET WORSE AT 45MPH. THE MECHANIC CHECKED BALANCE AND ROAD FORCE THE TIRES. BUT TOLD ME THAT THE VIBRATION WAS NORMAL AND HE COULD FIX MY BACK WINDOW. I CALLED GMC AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. I DID ON 11/25/14. THIS TIME I TOOK IT TO GOLDSTEIN BUICK-GMC. THEY COULD FEEL THE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEAT. THEY CHECK TIRES AGAIN. THEY FELT IT WAS THE TIRES AND WANTED ME TO BUY NEW ONES. TOLD ME THE TIRES WERE NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THAT DAY I CALLED GOODYEAR AND FOUND OUT MY TIRES WERE UNDER WARRANTY, THEY WOULD BE PRORATED. GOODYEAR CHECK MY TIRES AND THEY ARE FINE. AT THIS TIME NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM AND I FEEL IT HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE. THE VIBRATION IS REALLY STRONG AND GETTING WORSE AND THEY HAVE NO ANSWER. *TR
THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE INSUFFICIENT FOR SAFETY. THEY DO NOT LIGHT THE ROAD SUFFICIENT TO SEE OBJECTS IN ROAD ABOVE A SPEED OF 50 MPH. THESE ARE SINGLE BULB PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS AND MY OLD 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO HAS MUCH BETTER LIGHTS. GMC SHOULD REPLACE THE LIGHTS WITH DUAL BEAM LIGHTS OR ADD ON A SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHT SYSTEM. *TR

I HAVE TWO 2014 GMC SIERRAS WITH VERY WEAK HEADLIGHTS. CALLED GM AND THEY SAID NOBODY HAS COMPLAINED. THEY LIED. WAKE UP GM AND SMELL THE ROSES BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED. THE HEADLIGHTS LOOK GREAT BUT WORK BAD. FEEL LIKE IT WILL BE FOREVER BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING SO I ADDED MY OWN AUX. LIGHTS. MY I CAN SEE AGAIN. SPENT 400.00 DOLLARS ON 45,000 DOLLAR TRUCK SO I CAN DRIVE SAFETY AT NIGHT. 2014 CHEVYS HAVE DUEL HEADLIGHTS. MUST BE BETTER. FIX THE PROBLEM GM. MY FIRST CAR, A 1962 COMET HAD BETTER LIGHTS.

NO ACCIDENT. (YET) HEAD LIGHTS ARE PATHETIC. RANGE OF VISION AT NIGHT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THERE IS NO DIFFUSION OF LIGHT. ONLY LIGHT IS ON A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE. CAUSES A VERY TENSE DRIVING SITUATION ON ANY DARK ROAD. THE LIGHTING ON THE PERIPHERY IS VIRTUALLY NON-EXISTENT BUT MARGINALLY IMPROVED IF FOG LIGHTS ARE LEFT ON ALL THE TIME. MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN FILED. CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY GMC HAS NOT BEEN COMPELLED TO HAVE A RECALL TO COME UP WITH A REAL SOLUTION. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A QUESTION OF ADJUSTING THE CURRENT LIGHTING ARRANGEMENT. THIS SHOULD BE A PRIORITY RECALL. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. *TR

THE HEADLIGHT PERFORMANCE ON THIS TRUCK IS THE WORST I'VE SEEN IN ANY VEHICLE, BUT FOR A TRUCK, I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY ARE ALLOWED ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THEY ARE FACTORY SET AND DO NOT NEED ADJUSTMENT. THAT INFORMATION WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT CHECKED DURING THE QUALITY CHECK OR CHECKED BUT FELT IT WAS AS GOOD AS IT GETS. ON HIGH BEAM, THE DRIVER'S SIDE LIGHT IS POINTING SO FAR UP, IT'S IN THE TREES AND ABOVE THE ROAD. THE RIGHT SIDE HIGH AND LOW BEAMS ARE INADEQUATE FOR ALL PURPOSES, ESPECIALLY SEEING AROUND CURVES AND TURNS. YOU ARE LITERALLY BLIND ON A DARK STREET, EVEN WITH THE FOG LIGHTS. VERY POOR ILLUMINATION OF THE ROAD. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER FOR ADJUSTMENT AND THEY DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. THIS WILL BE THE LAST GM PRODUCT I BUY SINCE IT SEEMS THE LAST THREE VEHICLES I'VE OWNED HAD ISSUES THAT COULD NOT BE RESOLVED. AND I AM A MEMBER OF THE GM FAMILY. FOR THE PRICE OF THESE VEHICLES, THEY SHOULD BE TOP QUALITY. GM SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THE QUALITY THEY DELIVER TO CUSTOMERS FOR VEHICLES PRICED OVER $45K. *TR

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.

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.

14V301000 · Electrical System:software; Seat Belts:front:warning Light/devices
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.
