IllustrationPOOR LIGHTING WITH HEADLIGHTS. CAN BARELY SEE WHAT IS AHEAD AT NIGHT. SEEMS LIKE THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS, AND I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY IN THE RAIN. TURNING ON FOG LIGHTS HELPS A LITTLE, BUT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CONSTANTLY RUN THEM. BRIGHT LIGHTS DON'T HELP MUCH EITHER. *TR

BOUGHT VEHICLE NEW IN MARCH '14, HEADLIGHTS ARE HID UNITS, AND ARE WORSE THAN POOR. VERY EASY TO OVERDRIVE THESE LIGHTS HERE ON DARK, TWISTY MOUNTAIN ROADS IN WV. WE HAVE THE HIGHEST RATE OF VEHICLE- DEER COLLISIONS IN THE US AND SEEING DEER WITH THESE LIGHTS IN TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION IS CHANCY. TRADED A 10 YEAR OLD SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND NEVER HAD THESE PROBLEMS. THESE LIGHTS NEED TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE FOLKS ARE KILLED AS A RESULT. *TR
THIS VEHICLE HAS THE WORST HEADLIGHTS OF ANY NEW VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, AND I AVOID IT WHERE I CAN. THE BEAM PATTERN IS AWFUL AND THE ILLUMINATION IS POOR.

THIS VEHICLE HAS THE WORST HEADLIGHTS OF ANY NEW VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, AND I AVOID IT WHERE I CAN. THE BEAM PATTERN IS AWFUL AND THE ILLUMINATION IS POOR. I'VE BEEN DRIVING CARS WITH PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS FOR YEARS, SO I KNOW THAT IS NOT THE REAL ISSUE. THESE LIGHTS ARE JUST POORLY DESIGNED OR CHEAP. TRIPS TO THE DEALER ARE UNFRUITFUL. THE DEALER KNOWS THEY ARE POOR, BUT CAN DO NOTHING EXCEPT BE SURE EVERYTHING IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED. IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT BUYING A 2014 GMC PICKUP, BUY SOMETHING ELSE. THEY ARE THAT BAD. I JUST KNOW I'M GOING TO HIT A DEER SOON ENOUGH. *TR
HEADLIGHTS IN NORMAL OPERATION SITUATION ARE WOEFULLY SHORT OF ILLUMINATION DISTANCE AND EASY TO OVERDRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LIGHTS ARE MORE ADEQUATE, HOWEVER HIGH BEAMS CANNOT BE USED IN TRAFFIC AND FOG LIGHTS TEND TO IRRITATE ONCOMING DRIVERS ON HIGHWAYS IN SMALLER VEHICLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING UP TO SPECIFICATIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

WHEN WE TOOK OUR NEW TRUCK FOR A TEST DRIVE WE NOTICED A VIBRATION. THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED IT OUT AND TOOK CARE OF IT. WHEN TOOK DELIVERY OF THE TRUCK AND DROVE IT HOME THE VIBRATION WAS BETTER AT A SLOWER SPEED BUT INCREASED AS THE SPEED INCREASED. WE RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THAT THEY BALANCED THE TIRES AND ROTATED THE DRIVESHAFT 180 DEGREES. IT SEEM TO BE A LITTLE BETTER. BECAUSE WE TAKE THIS TRUCK TO FLORIDA FOR THE WINTER AND IT IS LOADED MY HUSBAND DECIDED THAT HE WOULD PUT SOME WEIGHT IN THE BACK OF IT TO SEE HOW IT WOULD AFFECT IT. THE VIBRATION WAS BETTER AT A SLOWER SPEED AND WORSE AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK HAS NOW BEEN BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING IN REGARDS TO IT. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING AN ELECTRONIC VIBRATION ANALYSIS ON IT. MY HUSBAND HAS RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY PEOPLE ARE REGISTERING THEM ON YOUR WEBSITE. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO GOOD, THEY HELPED TO SAVE THE LIFE OF SEVERAL DEER WHICH I COULD CLEARLY SEE UP AHEAD, JUST ABOVE THE CREST OF THE ROAD. THE DEER STARTED TO DASH ACROSS THE ROAD, WHICH WAS NOT LIT, AND I COULD CLEARLY SEE THEM AND PROPERLY STEERED CLEAR OF THE DEER. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS TRUCK ARE THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD !! I FIND THE 2014 GMC SIERRA AS THE MOST WELL EQUIPPED VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. MY COMPLAINT IS NOT REALLY ABOUT THE LIGHTS OR HOW WELL I COULD SEE THE DEER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IT'S ABOUT THE NEED FOR OTHER BRANDS OF VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH THESE TYPE OF HEADLIGHTS. I BELIEVE THIS TYPE OF HEADLIGHT SYSTEM SHOULD BE MANDATORY ON ALL VEHICLES OF ALL MAKES. GMC HAS DONE THE WORLD A FAVOR. NOW IT IS UP TO THE REST TO CATCH UP AND USE THIS TECHNOLOGY! *TR

AFTER PURCHASING OUR NEW TRUCK, WE DROVE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER DARK ON OUR RURAL COUNTRY ROADS. WHEN ENGAGING THE DIM LIGHTS YOU CAN NOT SEE MORE THAN 20 TO 30 YARDS IN FRONT OF YOUR VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND HAS DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM SINCE WE DISCOVERED IT AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. WHEN ENGAGING THE BRIGHT LIGHTS THEY APPEAR TO SHINE THE DISTANCE THAT THE DIM LIGHTS SHOULD. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ENGINEERING FLAW IN THE GM LIGHTING SYSTEM ON THEIR GMC TRUCKS. HE HAS DISCOVERED THAT THEY HAVE INSTALLED A PROJECTOR LIGHT WITH A CURTAIN OR SHUTTER IN THIS LIGHTING SYSTEM. WE HAVE HAD THEM ADJUSTED ONCE BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY MADE IT WORSE NOT BETTER. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT UNTIL GM IS MADE TO CHANGE THE LIGHTING SYSTEM AND REMOVE THIS CURTAIN/SHUTTER SYSTEM THAT WE ARE STUCK WITH THIS. OUR ONLY ALTERNATIVE SEEMS TO BE TO DRIVE WITH OUR BRIGHT LIGHTS ON AT ALL TIMES AFTER DARK IN RURAL AREAS. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND AT SOME POINT IN TIME THERE IS GOING TO BE A SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. WE ARE HOPING THAT YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND TAKE ACTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *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 & 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.

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.
