The contact owns a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at various speeds, the front headlights failed to function as intended. The contact stated that the headlights were dim and foggy. The failure limited the driver's visibility, preventing the driver from safely operating the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure recurred, and the contact was no longer driving the vehicle at night due to the safety concern. The failure mileage was unknown.
The high and low beams quit working while driving at night. This caused safety issue for myself and other drivers. Fuses good and bulbs good. Have seen multiple listings online about the same thing happening to other owners.
The headlights are dangerously dim, can't drive the vehicle comfortably at night. There seems to be no solution for fixing them. A TSB has been issued concerning this, but does little to address fixing the problem.
Back up lights and Tail light problems My Back up lights turn on when the headlights are turned on and do not shut off unless the headlights are off. Also, recently, the rear tail lights were burning out early and would last only two weeks. The source of the problem seems to be in the fuse box. There is no short in the system. It appears to be in the fuse box of the 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. Bulbs were replaced and burned out quickly. Replacement parts are expensive and this problem exists on other Chevrolet and GMC trucks.
Both headlamps stopped working when driving at night. Neither the low or high beams will work

The headlights on my pick-up are absolutely horrible and dangerous to drive with. I have even gone to the expense of having brand new ones intalled and they are no different in the lighting. I can barely see one car length ahead of me when driving at night, which is prohibiting me from using my pick-up for night time driving. This is ridiculous to have spent such a large sum of money for a vehicle and not be able to see driving at night. There should be a mandatory recall of this vehicle and the headlight system.
