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...

IGNITION STEERING KEY LOCK SOUNDS LIKE IT'S BREAKING DURING THE TINE YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO UNLOCK KIT WHEN STOPPED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE

MY VEHICLE STARTED WITH A VIBRATION ON OR AROUND 12,000 MILES. THE VIBRATION SLOWLY INCREASED AS TIME WENT ON. I MADE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.(CAPITALAND MOTORS) AT THIS TIME THE VIBRATION WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO VIBRATE THE BACK WINDOW. IT WOULD START AT 30MPH AND GET WORSE AT 45MPH. THE MECHANIC CHECKED BALANCE AND ROAD FORCE THE TIRES. BUT TOLD ME THAT THE VIBRATION WAS NORMAL AND HE COULD FIX MY BACK WINDOW. I CALLED GMC AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. I DID ON 11/25/14. THIS TIME I TOOK IT TO GOLDSTEIN BUICK-GMC. THEY COULD FEEL THE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEAT. THEY CHECK TIRES AGAIN. THEY FELT IT WAS THE TIRES AND WANTED ME TO BUY NEW ONES. TOLD ME THE TIRES WERE NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THAT DAY I CALLED GOODYEAR AND FOUND OUT...

I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK BACK THE DEALERSHIP 8 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM A VIBRATION THAT YOU CAN FEEL IN THE SEAT STEERING WHEEL AND GAS PEDAL, THEY HAVE HAD THE FACTORY ENGINEERS OUT THREE TIME AND LOOKED AND WORKED ON IT, FIRST TIME THE ENGINEER DID A COUPLE OF THINGS AND SAID THAT IT WAS UP TO FACTORY SPECS AND THAT WAS ALL HE COULD DO, I DROVE IT HOME AND BEFORE I WAS A BLOCK AWAY I COULD TELL THAT THEY DID NOT FIX IT, WHEN I GOT HOME I CALLED THE DEALER BACK AND TOLD HIM SO HE CALLED GM AND THE NEXT WEEK THEY SENT OUT THE SAME GUY AND THIS TIME HE WORKED ON 5 OR 6 OTHER THINGS THAT HE DID NOT WORK ON THE FIRST TIME AFTER TELLING ME THEY DID ALL THEY COULD DO THE FIRST TIME. RIGHT THERE TELLS YOU...
