Truck is a mess

I have a 2014 GMC Sierra Double Cab 2 wheel drive. I absolutely loved the looks of the truck but I have had nothing but issues since day one. The transmission cannot figure out what gear it needs at slow speeds and when it does it jumps and clunks underneath. I have a problem in the rear of the truck that when I back out of my driveway or hit a bump it clunks and bangs. The steering wheel sticks to the right when coming off the highway. When I took it in for repair they would not fix the problem because the could not get a repeat event. I have had several since then which is a huge safety issue. I have problems with rough idling at lights almost like it wants to stall. I have taken my truck in twice for humming in the rear. The first time I was told that it was normal. I returned it a second time and they replaced the gears in the rear end. I am starting to have the same problems again. My grade braking comes on periodically for about five seconds. I cannot even keep my coffee in the cup holder because of the intense vibration on the highway. So far I still have the same issues with 18,000 miles on the truck. I have tried to trade it in but I cannot get anything for it. I filed a claim with GMC and all I get is its taking some time because we don't have the VIN number. I have given the number twice to them so far and nothing. I will never buy another GMC. My next step is the better business bureau. I have been a GM fan for years but this truck is an absolute mess.

I really love my truck, runs really well, shifts great and the interior is awesome. Lots of room, and very quite. I can have a conversation without speaking loudly. It truly rides like a dream but better when weight in the bed. One thing I don't like is the turning radius, in tight spots its difficult to turn. Everyone who rides in it loves it. I really like the look of the vehicle, great styling all around. Had LINEX bed liner put in and ZEIBART in and out. make sure to have everything real clean and remove door panels and wheel wells for good job. Takes time, but I bought it to keep it a long time! Check out for any updates or upgrades available. LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL TRUCK!!!

I have had my Sierra for about six months. I have not experienced any problems what so ever. If you are easy on the gas and drive sensibly I get from 18 to 20 MPG around town and usually 25 MPG hiway. My best 25 mile average was 32.5 MPG between Houston & Galveston. Very quit ride, better than my Cadillac and just as smooth. I feel very safe and comfortable in my first truck.

Being a truck, gas mileage is great. Pulls my boat with ease and has power to spare. The color (blue) is beautiful and interior seating (with leather) is very comfortable. Easy to access all necessary controls, and even has adjustable pedals which are linked to the memory seats, mirrors, etc. Now being 70, I am able to provide all my own maintenance and vehicle care. Have owned over 80 vehicles and have owned mostly GM products the past 12 years. This truck has not disappointed me at all! Overall I am fully pleased with my truck and do not over expect what is not possible. My dealership(Jim Ellis) Buick/GMC Mall of GA has always been a great place of service! Having owned and driven this truck since 2017 I have been completely satisfied. Dealership support is excellent and no problems ever. I would purchase a vehicle from them again if needed.... As a mechanic I do all my own maintenance and this vehicle is very easy to work on. I LOVE MY GMC~~

I had certain needs" and certain "wants" when I went looking for a truck in 2014. My GMC Sierra 1500 met then all plus gave me some nice extras that I didn't even know were available. As I'm a big guy (6'4" and 265 lb.) I needed a vehicle with legroom. This had it aplenty. Also had programmable (2) settings to return the seats to where I wanted after someone had moved them. Discovering heated AND air-conditioned seats (leather) was a nice surprise. Indirect lighting in the truck bed was, as well. A 120VAC outlet for household gadgets was also a very pleasant find. One of my "needs" was power folding (along with adjustable) mirrors as I couldn't get this big baby into my garage without folding the mirrors and it was a pain to have to get out and walk around to do this on my previous truck. After 10 years with this vehicle that only thing I was disappointed in was that the OnStar feature was not upgradeable from it's 2G to 5G so I lost the "friendly OnStar folks" to ask where the closest McDonald's is or the closest sporting goods store, etc. The GPS still functions but it has to be programmed manually. Gas mileage is pretty decent and it even runs fine on the "low-grade" 82 octane "ElCheapo" fuel available at some stations. In short I still love my truck!
