Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 69, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Transmission shutter, not shifting correctly. Had to replace transmission
I was driving around a lake with my family. We were fishing. I had no warning at all and my transmission started to sputter and jerk extremely bad and my brakes did not work at the same time. I had to use my parking break to stop my family and I from going into the lake at 40mph. I looked up on many websites and forums and saw multiple people with the same issue. I am afraid that this will happen to a young driver and it be very tragic. Please do a recall. My truck is still sitting at my house broken. I am on disability and can not afford to fix it. I just keep paying my payments with no use of my truck. Please I beg of you.
There is a torque converter recall on the 2014 GMC sierra 1500 however my vehicle was not included in the recall but my transmission / torque converter went out.
Failed transmission
A loud clunk is heard from the transmission when shifting from one gear to anther after having to reduce acceleration.
At slow speeds, multiple times, I have had the truck completely have an electrical failure and the engine shut off. I have replaced the negative battery cable and ensured all connections are good. This has happened on streets when turning and in parking lots. When this happens all of the screens in the truck flicker and the service stabilitrack light comes on and then everything goes out, to include the engine. Myself, my family, and other drivers have been out at risk when the truck completely shuts off on a street. The dealership has not been able to give me an answer. There are many forums online where the 2014-2018 year models of this and similar GM vehicles have had the same problem. We need a specific fix for this before someone gets seriously injured or killed.
Transmission lost power

Going under 15mph, applying the brake causes the pedal to become stiff and lock up and not work. This has caused me to almost hit someone in traffic. I immediately got off the road and got my vehicle to a safe location off the road . Communicating with a dealer today to confirm possible recall issue or potential repairs.
My truck goes into “neutral” or doesn’t have power while driving at times and can cause a car crash.
My vehicle recently started "shuttering" while driving. Service report says it is a "common GMC issue with the Torque Converter", $3200. They also reported a "substantial leak" in the radiator, and again, says it is a very common fault of GMC Trucks. And another $2700. If these conditions are as common as they indicate, why are there no corrective measures?
I was driving and was almost home when I heard a pop and started getting jerked back and forth and then just slowed down almost to a complete stop with vehicles approaching quickly almost causing a multiple vehicle pile up I’ve heard multiple people complain about the particular transmission that is put in these gmc and chevy 1500s and am just confused with all of the problems I see on the internet and hear from peers in person why it has not been recalled yet if need be I will make a survey of gmc and chevy owners to let it be known that the transmissions on these vehicles were poorly built and need to be recalled before anybody has this problem that I had today
transmission shifting rough
From time to time the vehicles power system will surge, blink, and generally act up. The priblem is intermittent. The check engine light will come in then go off, the engine has completely cut off several times while driving, the transmission acts up, radio will turn off, 120v outlet will turn off, occasionally the vehicle will fun for 5-15 seconds after being turned off and then sputter off. And 95% of the time the truck is absolutely fine.

The vehicle's transmission makes clunking sounds, and jerking movements when accelerating and decelerating (highway). When stopped on an incline the vehicle drifts backward, once your remove your foot off the brake (street). The vehicle has rolled backwards while it was fully parked and unoccupied.
I was driving down the road and all of the sudden it was if my transmission disengaged and my car lost power. It then automatically came back on and the 'service stabilitrak' lights came on. I nearly avoided an accident and was able to pull off onto the side of the road.
I have had to replace my condensing unit two different times. Once at 75,000 miles, which was covered by my extended warranty that I purchased, not by gm, and the other broke at 107,000 miles in the exact same spot, which I had to pay for. This is a joke! I have also had to replace my oil cooling lines two different times, which were also not covered under warranty.
Took the truck to get a diagnostic check due to the truck in driveway would not go into reverse so husband put it in drive to pull up a little to see if it would help to then go into reverse, instead, the truck jerked so hard & almost threw my husband & son into the garage door that morning. Husband & son came back in all shook up. The scan diagnostic code-chck showed: trans fluid-indeed full; but way burnt; needs transmission; front pump making noise in transmission; torque converter; exhaust shows signs of back pressure-and one running hotter than the other; the left side running 100+ hotter than the right - needs transmission assembly removed & repaired; reman gm trans; y-pipe w/both converters; fluids flush nuts bolt gaskets. I was told it would not be a good idea to drive it. I am retired military and maintained the truck throughout my military career, but no warnings showed on the dash reader for something wrong with transmission. It is a 2014 gmc sierra 1500 slt 5.3l v8. Vin#[xxx]. Need help if this issue has ever been placed on the recall list? If not, it should be. This issue could kill someone if it were to jerk while driving on the road. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2014-2015 gmc sierras were produced with a known faulty A/C condenser with a bad weld that causes an A/C system leak requiring replacement. There has been an overwhelming failure of the product across the country, so bad so that it even made the news. Gm became aware of this issue and sent new (properly produced) condensers to their production lines first, leaving hundreds of gmc owners without A/C over the summer. They put out a "special recall" on a very small number of vins saying it "may" happen in other vins. There is an overwhelming volume of complaints online (including myself) where gm is acknowledging this issue but refusing to cover the replacement cost of their faulty part for hundreds of owners having this issue. This repair cost me a little over $1300. In the same service visit for my AC condenser it was identified that my radiator was leaking. This was due to a faulty thermostat causing stress fractures in the radiator causing coolant to leak. This issue has also been identified by gm however only a select few VIN's received warranty recalls. My total repair cost to fix both issues was in excess of $4000. Both problems are known to gm yet they have not remedied the issue for everyone.
Driving down the highway one day around 65mph the vehicle began to shudder violently, reducing my speed to less than 45mph all the way home (all the while still shuddering) I took it to a well known transmission shop "whitty transmissions" in oak ridge nj only to have them drop the pan and find the transmission flooded with metal chips costing me a $3900+ rebuild. My transmission failed at 87,000 miles
I own a 2014 gmc sierra and the air conditioning condenser has gone out. This should be a recall since so many gmc & chevrolet are having the same problem and no help is being offered to us. What a disappointment from gmc. If I would of been notified of this defect I would have never purchased these truck. Now I'm driving around in 110 degrees with my little son. Recall and fix this.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle jerked and then stalled without warning. The vehicle was pushed into a driveway. The contact stated that her boyfriend's mechanic came over and diagnosed the vehicle. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced.

Service 4wd would pop up on my screen everytime I started my truck for the last two days going to work. When I go slow around turns then the truck would almost stop. Found out that it is the actuator and my 4wd is trying to go into 4-low automatically. Dealership could not fit me in for a week, so I took it a transmission place because this is my work truck and now have all my tools in my wife's acadia. I have a 32 ft ladder on my truck that I'm going to need asap and can't put on wife's acadia so I could not wait on the dealership to fit me in. All trans transmission place has had it since 3 pm on july 7th and I just paid $438 for a part and I'm up to three shop hours so far that I have to pay for when I pick it up hopefully tomorrow, which will include the additional shop hours in installing the new actuator. This is getting expensive and there is no recall for this part that I've seen, but should be included in the manufacturer warranty. I can provide all receipts once I get them.
At speeds highway speeds 50 and above the truck can shack horrible causing to apply vehicles hazards and pulling off the road for feeling like the truck is coming apart with the fear of loosing control of the vehicle. The horrible shack cause nausea and dizziness. I have replaced wheels and tires, shocks, re aligned and balanced multiple times nothing has fixed the issue. Will be in touch with a gmc dealer about this situation .
