After driving vehicle for about 40 mins from last parked location, i slowed to take a left hand turn, engaged blinker, accelerated while proceeding to turn left. the steering wheel jerked to the Right and sounded an audible "ding" and door locks engaged. upon driving an additional estimated 100 feet, the entire system shut down. (i happened to be turning into a parking lot where there was a car parts store in town) no power at all, nothing on the display panel, all doors remained locked and i was locked inside the vehicle. i placed the gear shift into Park and tried unlocking the doors, which would not unlock due to no power. taking the key out of the ignition and reinserting it and tried to start did nothing. after a few more failed attempts, the interior lights and display screen flashed (glitchy blinking) and after a few more attempts, when the key was turned to the run position I finally had normal power. the doors finally unlocked. seemed as if the system rebooted itself and i had power and was able to start the vehicle. the dash panel showed a message to roll down the drivers side window, then showed a message to roll up the drivers side window. after i followed the prompts, everything returned to normal. i went into the parts store and had them hook up to a code scanner, which did not show any codes, the battery, alternator, and starter were also checked and were fine. i was able to drive home with no problem. I am afraid to drive my truck because i do not want this to happen when driving at a higher rate of speed. I was fortunate to be turning into a parking lot when the event happened. I am fearful of this happening again and causing an accident.

What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 65 MPH, the service stabilitrac warning indicator illuminated, the door locks activated independently, and the power steering failed. Additionally, the vehicle independently turned off and on within a few seconds. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 88,124.
I've always liked your gmc trucks but mostly been a ford owner so this december I bought a 2014 gmc sierra 1500 with 98,000 miles... Really love the truck but then start by having problems.. First my passenger window wouldn't roll down all the way ..got that fixed..then my rear drivers door lock don't work..and the big one my AC condenser has a leak ($1500 fix)which supposedly is a common problem with this vehicle..which I'm just so dissatisfied..I would really appreciated to have these problems fix for free!!! For I am regretting going gmc.
The door locks dont always lock. My grandson was in the back seat and fell asleep, while asleep he bumped the door handle and the door opened while we were going 50 MPH., lucky he had the seat belt on. The door should not have opened as the lock should have engaged when the truck is put in gear and made the door handle inoperable. The door lock actuator is the problem, this will be the second one replaced. You dont know they dont work because they make a locking sound when activated. They just dont lock, very dangerous glad he didnt fall out of the vehicle.
I was driving on the interstate and a message stating "service stabilitrack" message appears simultaneously with the check engine light and service traction control, the car loses the ability to accelerate and maintain speed. I kept driving because there was no safe place to stop, and after a few miles the door locks unlocked then locked, the info screen flashed and then the engine revved and appeared to drive normally. Several miles later it happened again, over and over. When I reached my nieghborhood the car completely powered off.
