The contact owns a 2014 GMC Sierra. The contact stated that while driving at 42 MPH, she was involved in a three-vehicle accident after a vehicle involved in another accident ricocheted and hit her vehicle. The driver's side air bag exploded but did not deploy. Black smoke was released from the steering wheel and the air bag fell on the contact's left leg. The driver seat belt retractor fell apart during the accident which sliced the top part of the contact's ear; in addition, the failure sent a part of the contact's earing into her ear canal.

The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 93,622.

The vehicle lights are very dim even with the high beams on. While driving at night can barely see in front of me. These are a hazard to me and others, since not being able to see a good distance in front of the vehicle makes hard to see pedestrians, animals or debris in the road at night.

There IS a extremely dangerous electrics issue with my 2014 GMC sierra 1500 all terrain. In the last 18 months my truck has locked the steering at low speed while turning 8 times. (I could have easily broken a finger a lost control of my truck) .on 5 of the times I had steering issue the truck had no power to anything including key fobs for a period of 10 to 15 minutes. Then the truck will power up again. Fortunately these issues have occurred at low speed. this has happen 8 times in the last 18 months . It has been to dealership for service regarding this issue they changed the battery after only 18 months (10/2015) the issue occur again 2 days ago while traveling on the freeway at 70 mph my truck shut down no power then in less than a second it powered up again all the setting on my radio, climate control changed.that day I stopped to get gas got back in my truck pulled away from the pump the steering locked truck shut down again for 20 minutes. This truck IS currently at a dealership they still can not diagnos the issue. I'm extremly concern that someone could be seriously injured or killed if this was to happen while operating this truck. I did see that may other owner of GMC sierra have expressed similar concerns. The issues needs to be addressed immediately. As for myself I plan to this truck after the dealership attempts another repair.

The headlights are too dim and are unsafe. In my 50+ years of driving, I have never experienced headlights so bad. I live in a dark rural area without any streetlights and lots of bicyclists and deer. I have already had many near misses on rural roads, and fear it's only a matter of time before an accident happens.

The headlight output at night, particularly in rural back road areas IS less than adequate. poor really. I originally had moisture issues in both headlamp housings, had both headlamp housings replaced and the lighting seemed to be better, however not very much. the headlights seem to have dark spots in them and only light up certain parts of the road in front of me, and never much to the side of the roadway. I feel this IS by far the worst lighting output of any vehicle I have ever owned, and actually feel a little unsafe driving at night. I most definitely cannot travel at higher speeds during the night as I feel like I cannot see nearly good enough. I have simply "dealt" with the issue since buying the truck in december 2013, thinking there was no fix to it and the dealership said they have not heard of this issue before.

There IS already a technical service bulletin on this matter however I feel it IS serious enough to be a recall. While driving at night in unlighted areas the bright lights leave serious dark areas especially if you are travelling on curvy roads. If you encounter a pedestrian or other object in the road in these areas they cannot be seen until its possibly too late. The manufacturer will only do the repair if you complain about it and its still under warranty. I believe this should be recalled and repaired before someone IS hurt or killed.

The projector headlights on this vehicle are terrible. they are dim and have a very poor light pattern. (the bulb presumably meets federal standards, but the projector system was designed for a brighter bulb). it IS very difficult to see the sides of the road, or very far down the road, on roads where there are no streetlights. it IS even worse on a rainy, dark road. gm instituted a tsb (#pit5374, attached) in february 2015 which involves reprogramming the body control module (bcm) to increase the voltage to the headlight bulbs and substituting vosla hir 55 watt bulbs for the original stock 55 watt bulbs. the results are a minimal improvement. the new 2016 models have the same headlight design but have been upgraded to a hid bulb that cannot just be plugged into the 2014/15 headlights. the improved bulb and wiring IS evidence the tsb did not really improve the lighting very much. (the internet IS full of complaints about the headlights on this vehicle; recommend you google "GMC sierra headlights" and see what you get!). I live in northern virginia and would be glad to come down to the nhtsa building on a dark, rainy night and give you a ride -- the problem isn't so bad in areas where there are streetlights, but it IS terrible out in the country. bottom line, gm should be directed to issue a recall that involves replacing the wiring harness and bulb with their latest design. the headlights in the 2014/2014 sierra are hazardous to the people in the truck and to pedestrians along the road. thanks for listening to my complaint, and please take action for safety's sake. (note: there IS no specific time, mileage, mph, etc., that this was noted. it IS continual. I had the tsb performed in the summer of 2015 and noted minimal improvement at that time.)

The factory installed running boards are unsafe. The treads need to be larger, more aggressive and rotated 90^. As they are they are simply skid pads when wet or frozen. You simply need to try and enter or exit the vehicle and see how easily your foot sides off causing the person the fall. I have taken several slips/falls. Today I hit the back of my head on the door jam. Just rotating the tread ninety degrees would help.

I bought my 2014 GMC sierra brand new in dec 2014 and had it back to the dealer within 3 weeks because I was sure there was a defect with the headlights ! You can only see maybe 30 feet in front of you and nothing if you make any turn on a dark road with no streetlights ! The mechanic at the dealership said there was no problem with the lights and they meet all general motors specifications ...i have read many many complaints from other 2014 GMC sierra owners with this same complaint so I know its not my imagination or a problem with my eyesight !! I sure hope that GMC doesn't wait for fatalities or a class action lawsuit before addressing and correcting this problem , I have been a loyal GMC consumer for 45 years but this obvious problem with the lighting and gmc's refusal to acknowledge that there IS a design defect I can say this IS the last GMC vehicle I will ever purchase . Do the right thing general motors ! Fix the problem and save some lives !

2014 GMC sierra. consumer writes in regards to vehicle headlight problems. *smd the consumer stated when he made turns, there was not sufficient lighting. The dealer stated the head lights were four inches too high, so they adjusted them. Upon driving at night, he found the lighting to the side had slightly improved, but the light was sharply cut off about 45 feet in front of the truck on when the low beams were on, which made it unsafe to drive over 35 mph. The high beams gave good lighting at distances, but brought flashed from oncoming traffic. The second head light adjustment extended the lighting out about 20 inches further, but less lighting to the sides for turning. the head lights were adjusted again and the technician stated the lights were at the level from the factory. the consumer stated the head lights were not adequate in his opinion. *Jb

The vehicles headlights are dangerously ineffective. they rarely illuminate the distance between 2 telephone poles. the ineffectiveness of the headlights IS amplified on hills or on any turn. the during the transition from decline to incline, you sometimes have barely a trucks length of illumination. any corner on a dark road requires a severe decrease in travel speed to avoid over driving the lights. I have never driven a vehicle that made me feel more apprehensive to get behind the wheel after dark. I visited the dealer who executed a tsb that increased headlight voltage and replaced the bulbs. it made a negligible improvement and left the vehicle still unsafe at night. I frequently travel on rural roads with no street lights. I have almost hit wildlife too many times to count due to the poor visibility caused by these dangerous headlights. travel over 30 mph on dark country roads with a legal speed limit of 50 IS ill advised due to the ineffectiveness of the headlights.

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.
